How the work flows

Trigger: The fiscal year ends or a contract concludes, and final actual overhead rates are calculated and approved.

  1. Determine the variance between billed provisional rates and final actual rates
  2. Allocate rate variances across applicable contracts and cost objectives
  3. Prepare journal entries for the final rate adjustments
  4. Post adjustment entries to the general ledger and project subledgers
  5. Reconcile the adjusted cost ledgers to ensure zero unallocated variance
  6. Lock the rate ledger and close the accounting period

Outcome: The variance between provisional and final rates is fully allocated, posted to the general ledger, and the associated accounting period is officially closed.
