Creating Overhead Codes

Create overhead codes for P6 Progress Reporter users to add overhead activities to their timesheets to log timesheet hours that are not associated with the project.

To create an overhead code:

  1. Click the Administer menu and select Enterprise Data.
  2. In the Enterprise Data pane, expand Global and click Overhead Codes.
  3. On the Overhead Codes page:
    1. Click "" Add (Insert).
    2. In the Name field, double-click and type a unique code.
    3. In the Description field, double-click and type a unique name.
    4. Click "" Save (Ctrl+S).

Tips

When you specify that two approval levels are required to approve timesheets, timesheets that contain only overhead activities bypass project manager approval and are sent directly to the resource/cost manager for approval. For timesheets containing a mix of regular and overhead activities, project managers can view, but not approve, the overhead activities.
