There are two ways you can split costs.
A cost redirection on the employee record. This redirects a percentage of all pay components from the Source Account to the Destination Account. This method is used where the same split occurs each pay period.
Costing split for nominated pay components. This will split the pay based on the cost accounts used in the transaction. This method is used where the splits change each period.
Costing splits are created as part of the End of Pay process. You won't see the effects in the transaction, the Transaction Report or the Payroll Report. They will be reflected on the Costing Report and in the General Ledger.
To set up a Cost Redirection:
Go to Payroll, Maintenance, Employees, Employees.
Edit the Employee.
Select Cost Accounts.
In the Cost Redirection box, click Add.
Select the Source Account. This is usually the Default Cost Account and is where the costing will be directed from.
Select the Destination Account. This is where the costing will go.
Enter the Percentage.
Click OK.
Click OK to save.
Tip: If a Cost Account that is not the Source Account is used in a transaction, the Cost Redirection will not be applied.
To set up Costing Splits
Costing splits are applied by ticking Apply Costing Splits in components. You need to do this for each component you want to split. You can apply costing splits to:
Additions and Deductions
Tax
Superannuation
Leave Accruals
