Creating Cost Plus Projects

Projects with a Cost Plus billing type will calculate revenue and costs associated with
the project based on the direct cost plus any set of indirect costs mapped in the cost
structure plus any configured fee calculations set up on the Accounting tab of the
project. Unanet can manage four distinct types of cost reimbursement contracts, all of
which pay every allowable cost incurred plus a fee (which differs by contract type). Fee
Calculation Methods must be configured by an Administrator before a CP project is set
up.

For Cost Plus projects and tasks that require indirect rates that are different from the
selected cost structure, Unanet now includes the ability to override those indirect rates
at the project or task level. Known as Advanced Costing, this feature must be enabled
by an Administrator in Admin > Properties > General > Costing. Once enabled, a new
checkbox called “Advanced Costing” appears on the Accounting tab of all CP projects
and tasks. When this box is checked, a popup window displays a message warning that
this action will erase all existing People Plans and Assignments. Unanet recommends
that a user with the Administrator role preserves the existing values by exporting,
modifying, and then importing the modified values once Advanced Costing has been
configured. Pressing “OK” displays additional fields to manage Advanced Costing:
