Are overhead costs distorted?

Unfortunately, apples are currently being charged with oranges as part of the overhead costs. It is possible to upload actual personnel costs. However, the personnel costs stored in the contract information are then distributed (among projects, absences, etc.) and not the actual costs uploaded. The difference then ends up in overhead costs (“Debit to Posted Difference”). In my opinion, this distorts overhead costs enormously. Or am I wrong about that?
How can you fix that? That would be super important... otherwise the overhead costs would be distorted far too much, as the difference (which is always there) is simply apportioned as a lump sum.

If I remember correctly, it used to be different, as the MA costs in the respective month were also adjusted as a result of the upload. However, for some, this led to larger fluctuations in the calculation and the predicted results. projo then decided to use the upload of personnel costs only to check the imputed costs, which can thus be adjusted separately for each MA.
Stay that way. These costs are imputed costs and not true costs.
We haven't uploaded the payroll journals yet because the added value isn't clear to me.
Even though I would like to know the exact costs per project, I keep asking myself the question of the theoretically achievable accuracy, the
The costs associated with this and the actual added value.
Arne Semmler I hope I've said that correctly.
