Revenue Methods Refresher
Normal Method- Most automated, system does the work Based on Billing- Common, but overrides system abilities Based on G/L- Infrequent, overrides all system abilities Based on Delivery- FP contracts using Form 1443 Progress Billings
04/18/20236 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
What “Normal Method” means for different contract types:
• Fixed Price (FP)
• burdened costs + fees as set up
• Estimate At Completion** (EAC)
• Estimate To Complete** (ETC)
• Contract Backlog**• Cost Plus (CPFF)
• burdened costs + fees as set up• Time & Materials (T&M)
• rates per hour + ODCs + burdens + fees, if any
** for CPFF contracts too
04/18/20237 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
We will assume Automatic Calculation is “on” (box checked):
Revenue calculations by contract type: FP: Fiscal Year to Date CPFF: Fiscal Year to Date T&M: Month to Date
Critical to understand these calculation methods!

Identifying Revenue Errors How do we know if Revenue is wrong?
Odd fees/profits (too high, too low) on Contract Revenue Summary or JSR Odd backlog results on Contract Revenue Summary (particularly “negative”
backlog) The existence of an unexplained unbilled AR
04/18/20239 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Look for unusual fees, both dollars and percentsLook for odd backlog amounts, particularly negative backlog amounts

Key Reports to Assist in Revenue Reconciliation “As if” Reports -
Reflect latest “Compute Costs & Revenue” process May or may not be posted—be careful!

Contract Master File (CMF) Settings Contract Value (CV) amounts Task Revenue/Task AR settings Revenue method “Automatic” vs. manually computed revenue Revenue adjustments Fee percentages on FP & CPFF Maximum revenues and fees on CPFF T&M Contracts: buttons for ODCs, burdens and fees
04/18/202320 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
CMF: Contract Value (CV) Amounts Fixed Price Contracts
CV caps revenue Cost Plus Contracts
“Maximum Revenue” caps revenue If “maximum revenue” = 0.00, then NO cap on revenue!
Time & Material Contracts CV caps revenue unless “exceed revenue by $___ amount” has a value

CMF: Revenue Method
Normal: system settings determine revenueBilling: billing must be posted to get revenueGL: a manual journal entry creates revenueDelivery: used for FP/Progress billing only
Recommend Normal Method in most cases!
04/18/202326 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
CMF: “Automatic” vs. Manual Revenue
If automatic:
If manual, then you will have to enter revenue into “Revenue Is”:
Remember, manual “Revenue Is” must be
Fiscal Year to Date Current Period
FP and CPFF T&M
04/18/202327 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Special Considerations for T&M Contracts
Manual “Revenue Is” number must be removed after monthly close in one of two ways:1. Manually zeroed out after close by entering 0.002. Removed as part of month end close process by choosing proper option
in GL Close Period Failure to remove or adjust manual revenue calculations will cause them to
post each month until they are removed!
04/18/202328 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Special Considerations for T&Ms
Checking this box during both month end and year end processing will “automatically” zero out manual “revenue is” calculations on T&M contracts.
04/18/202329 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
CMF: Revenue Adjustments Increase or decrease system automated revenue calculations
Increase Revenue: positive number Decrease Revenue: negative number Revenue Adjustments must be:
Fiscal Year to Date Current Period
FP & CPFF T&M
04/18/202330 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Special Considerations for T&M Contracts Revenue Adjustments on T&Ms (only!) must be manually zeroed out
after each month end close or they will duplicate in the next month. Impromptu/Dataport report can help remind you to do this
Best practice would be to clear these out immediately after closing the period.
04/18/202331 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
CMF: Fee Percentages for FP and CPFFs
FP contracts: estimate of profit expected to be earned on contract
CPFF contracts: fixed fee represented as a percentage
On both FP & CPFF—a new fee will be projected across current fiscal year only
Use a revenue adjustment to adjust a prior year fee
04/18/202332 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
CMF: Maximum Revenue and Fee Ceilings on CPFFs
04/18/202333 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
CMF: Maximum Revenue and Fee Ceilings on CPFFs
Remember a CPFF will accrue revenue and fee even if there is NO contract value entered!
To limit revenue and/or fee: Enter a value in “Maximum Revenue” Check the “Fee Ceiling” box (this limits fee to that entered in Fee Amount
Column) To further limit fee, enter a fee in “fee amount ceiling”
Very common error: forgetting to update these after a contract modification
04/18/202334 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
CMF: T&M Buttons for ODCs, burdens and fees
• Bill some or all ODCs? Check box.• Burden ODCs? Check box.• Add fee to ODCs? Check box and enter fee.
04/18/202335 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
CMF: T&M Buttons for ODCs, burdens and feesNow we need to:
• Turn ODC’s “on” or “off” for billing and revenue purposes• Set limits on ODC’s • Set limits on burden rates
Where do we do this?
• Budgeting / Non-Labor Budgets / Summary Budgets & Ceiling
04/18/202336 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Summary Budgets & Ceiling:
04/18/202337 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Summary Budgets & Ceiling:
04/18/202338 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Summary Budgets & Ceiling:• Two Tabs:
1. Suffix Set limits (turn “on” “off”) by suffix Allows fee by suffix Helpful to exclude subk costs from revenue when revenue is already
taken based on subk hours worked on T&M
2. Pools Set limits on indirect burdens used or override rates
• Works for all contract types
• Works with both revenue and billing
04/18/202339 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Summary Budgets & Ceiling: Suffix Tab Amount: Sets suffix limit or budget on ODCs
“Ceil” looks to “Amount” column for limit Code: 1. Fee, Ceil
2. Fee, No Ceil (Default) Allows fee, no limits on amounts billed3. No Fee, Ceil4. No Fee, No Ceil
04/18/202340 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Summary Budgets & Ceiling: Pools Tab Optional rate available on T&M contracts for G&A burden on ODCs where
billing and revenue is different than target rate. Code is called “Special Handling” and will be used instead of target rates on
JSRs and in billing
Must be enabled in Contract Control File

Recap: Troubleshooting Revenue
“Automated” revenue settings
• Most revenue errors are due to contract settings on: Contract Value Summary Budgets “buttons” Failure to clear out T&M Revenue Adjustments
“Manual” revenue settings
• Revenue errors result from forgetting to manually update revenue
• Failure to clear out manual T&M “revenue is” amounts
• Lack of understanding of what stage revenue is in (posted or not)
04/18/202342 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Correcting and Validating Corrections by Contract Do Revenue Adjustments in CMF, not general ledger journal entries, to correct
revenue if fixing the settings does not correct problem JE’s for revenue only work if your method is “Based on G/L”
Re-compute revenue and review Contract Revenue Summary and JSR Remember these are “as if” reports Must actually post revenue to keep correction—once posted, will be in GL
04/18/202343 ©2011 Deltek, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Correcting and Validating Corrections by Contract Can recalculate and post revenue as many times as desired in a month
Recheck JSR, CRS and GL to ensure corrections worked Corrections for prior year errors must usually be done via “revenue adjustment” in
CMF Pay attention to revenue calculation method for each contract type
