  1. Choose Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Job Cost > Payroll Setup > Overhead Detail Codes.

    Note

    If you have unposted payroll transactions (for either Microsoft Dynamics GP Payroll or TimeTrack), do not change overhead detail codes (or create new codes and assign them to affected overhead accounts) until all unposted transactions are posted. Otherwise, posting these transactions could result in unbalanced general ledger entries. Contact Key2Act WennSoft Support for assistance.


  2. Complete the following fields, as necessary.
    • Overhead Code, Description: Enter an abbreviated name and a description for the overhead classification.
    • Allocation Method
      Assign one of the following methods of calculating overhead for the detail code:
      • Fixed portion
        Allows you to allocate overhead on a cost per unit basis for payroll transactions. For example, if you want to apply hourly overhead to account for the cost of employees driving to and from a job site, you could add $1.50 per hour (the unit of measure) with an overhead detail code to cover the cost.
      • Percent portion
        Allows you to allocate overhead on a percentage basis for payroll transactions. For example, you can set up an overhead detail code for the cost of taxes incurred on an employee's pay rate that adds 16 percent of the payroll wages.
    • Fixed Portion, Percent Portion
      Enter the fixed portion or percent portion amount. The field that is enabled depends on the allocation method you chose.
  3. Choose Save.
  4. To print only the overhead detail codes using the Overhead Detail Codes report, choose File > Print or choose the printer button. To print all detail codes (including overhead), choose Reports > Job Cost > Job Reports > Detail Codes List.
