Duplicate indirect cost rates

Indirect cost rates are managed at each participant in the "Participants" section. 

If you set a general indirect cost rate for your project workspace, then it is managed under Settings -> Customisation.

Note:

  • To duplicate an indirect cost rate, you must have at least Edit access rights to the participant linked to the rate. To duplicate general indirect cost rates, you must be the Admin or Manager level user (see "Roles, access levels and access rights").
  • Additionally, the current plan version must be in the Edit mode ("Manage project plan versions").

EMDESK creates a copy named "name (Copy)" and opens it in its own sidebar. The copy also appears in the Financial Profile of the participant. Note: The copy starts without cost categories, because a cost category can only be covered by one indirect cost rate. Select the cost categories that no other indirect cost rate covers yet and click Save Cost Rate.
