| # Budget Cost Surcharges by Sundry Cost Code (tpptc0124s000) Use this session to maintain cost surcharges by sundry cost for the selected element, cost component, or extension. You can create surcharges only for projects that have a Free or Active project status. The surcharge is taken over budget lines in which the selected sundry costs cost object is used. Related topics surcharge Project The code that uniquely identifies the project. Description The description or name of the code. Status The project's status. Indirect Cost Surcharge The code that uniquely identifies the surcharge to which the computed surcharge amount is posted. Related topics surcharge Reference Type The type of reference. Sundry Cost The code that uniquely identifies the sundry cost code. Related topics sundry costs Reference Type The type of reference. Sequence Number The code that uniquely identifies the sequence number. Percentage The surcharge percentage calculated on the budgeted costs for material. This calculation is based on the following formula:
    (percentage/100) * budgeted costs for the material on a single line
