Labor Rate Dilution Process

Hi Eirik,
Are you using Job Rate Management? This lets you construct your internal labor cost and apply it to project transactions / work order time transactions where the initial internal labor cost is derived from the resource pricing (or similar standard logic). You can have rate agreements, where you can define your base cost, Overtime Costs, any other indirect costs etc. and assign employees to the Rate Agreements. There after when the Calculate Job Cost is run it will update the transactions with the Rate Agreement related cost.

From my understanding it should be possible to handle this  without job rate management:

But as you can see the documentation about this process is limited, and do not give a real understanding on how it works. Nor are there much treads on this in the community. I am starting to believe there are bugs here, but hard to tell when I am not familiar to the process. But it’s quite interesting to see it work… Think it approves the accuracy on project cost including weighted overtime for day, week, month or week… 

Apologies, I was barking up the wrong tree. 
If I understand you correctly, you are trying to recalculate the internal labour cost on project transactions, based on the overtime that is reported for the period. That would be interesting to see if dilution of labour does it. What we do is a once the payroll is processed (external payroll) we get the payroll journal in and reallocate the variance (standard cost vs the actual payroll cost by employee per period) via a journal entry. Sorry couldn’t be of any help.

I was initially planning the same, but that was before I found that there is a dilution process in the documentation. Theoretically the manual work on reallocating the variance should not be necessary if I just could make this work. Let’s hope someone else have some information about this.
