An interface is available to produce a costing file, so that you can transfer costing details to a nominal ledger or other external system for analysis.

Enables you to allocate cost codes to the current post, and specify the apportionment of pay element costs across these. Each line in the paging area represents a set of cost code details for a date range. You can create date ranges for new sets when required.

When doing this, you can separate the allocation of the employee’s costs and the associated costs of the employer. For example, you may allocate an employee’s net pay equally between two cost centres, but allocate all the employer’s associated NICs to just one of these cost centres.

You can set up different sets of cost centre allocations to become effective on different dates. By setting up a history of cost centre allocations in this way, when calculating backpay the system can choose the allocation appropriate to the time the backpay originally became due.

Note: The cost centres you want to use must have already been set up using Maintain Cost Centres.

Note: To enable the apportionment of pay element costs to post cost codes, you must set the appropriate pay elements. You do this via the EES Cost Centre field in the Costing Details window of Pay Element Definition.

To access this window, enter fast path HRPOST and select Costing Parameters from the navigation panel.
