Applying Proportional Costing

Wages - Proportional Costing by Percentage

Open the Current Pay, select an employee, and click the Costing button to open the Proportional Costing window. Select "Percentage" for the Method property, then enter the proportions and the cost centres you want to assign to them.

NOTE: Percentages must total to 100%. The Total Entered property shows the current total of the proportions you have entered.

Any wage lines costed to the employee's default cost centre will be proportioned as you specify.

Wages - Proportional Costing by Hours

Open the Current Pay, select an employee, and click the Costing button to open the Proportional Costing window. Select "Hours" for the Method property, then enter the hours and the cost centres you want to assign to them.

NOTE: The hours you enter must total to the value specified by the Total Hours property (usually the hours in a working week). The Total Entered property shows the current total of the hours you have entered.

Any wage lines costed to the employee's default cost centre will be proportioned as you specify.

Salary

By default, salary is costed to the employee's default cost centre. If proportional costing is turned on, the salary will instead be proportioned by the rules set in the Proportional Costing window.

Allowances

By default, allowances paid to an employee are costed to their default cost centre. If an allowance matches the employee's default cost centre and proportional costing by Percentage is turned on, that allowance will be proportioned by the rules set in the Proportional Costing window.

Leave

By default, leave of these types paid to an employee are costed to their default cost centre. If leave matches the employee's default cost centre and proportional costing by Percentage is turned on, that leave will be proportioned by the rules set in the Proportional Costing window.

NOTE: You cannot proportionally cost leave if you have a global default cost centre for that leave type. Global defaults override both costing to employee defaults and proportional costing - the leave can only go to the global default.
