Major Group Number

Use the Major Group Number attribute field in filters to include or exclude the data categories from the reports.

The following table lists the categories of data that you can include or exclude from the reports:

Data Category

Major Group Number

Revenue

1

Direct costs

2

Indirect costs by resource

3

Indirect costs by pool

4

For example, to include revenue, direct costs, and indirect costs by resource on a report, use a filter that selects records with 1, 2, or 3 as the Major Group Number value.

You can also group data on a report based on the value in Major Group Number.

To include indirect costs on a report, use a filter that selects records with one, but not both, of the indirect costs values in Major Group Number. If you select both, the report will include duplicate records, and the indirect costs will be overstated.
