Cross-References for Components

After you set up contract billing lines for components, you must complete these tasks:

  • Set up a cross-reference from the billing line to a component code.

    The component code specifies the rules for the markup calculation.

  • Set up a cross-reference from the component billing line to an independent billing line for time and material or to a dependent billing line for burden that you have previously defined for the same contract.

When you create invoices or generate revenue recognition, the system uses the cross-reference information to separate the component markup from the time and materials billing line.

Important:

If you do not set up the correct cross-references for the previously defined billing line for time and materials, the system does not separate the component and time and material amounts when you generate invoices.

If you change a cross-reference after generating the workfile, you must run the Workfile Re-extension program (R481202) to apply the changes to workfile transactions.
