Note

You may need to have the re-allocation configured for you if the amounts on the re-allocation are not correct.  This may be because you are not using the employees hourly rate.  If you do have these more complex cost re-allocation requirements then you should contact support@infinetcloud.com Contact Support to discuss your requirements.
