How do I override cost allocations?

Now that your Cost Analysis Structure is set up, you can set up rules within Cintra iQ, according to how you want your costs to be analysed when you extract Cost Analysis data. The rule set up is based on pay elements.

 

You can also group multiple pay elements together under a costing category so that you can apply cost analysis rules to categories of pay elements rather than individual pay elements.

 

You can override an Accounts Part for a specific payroll when mapping a liability to an account.

 

 Weekly Payroll Bill

I want to see the Weekly Payroll bill I had just paid to HMRC, therefore I should override the default Liability Account used for HMRC with one that is specific to the weekly payroll so I can allocate all the HMRC payments to that particular account code.

 

To override an allocation

1. Navigate to the Account Mappings window.
   Go to Cintra iQ: Payroll>Payroll Set up>Accounting.
2. Navigate to the Liability Allocation Overrides tab. The Payroll Liabilities tab and the Allocation Overrides tab appears.
3. Select the desired Payroll.
4. Select the Allocation Overrides tab.
5. Select the desired Accounts Part.
6. Right-click: Open on the desired value. The Allocation Override form appears.
   
7. Select the desired Override Value. 
   
8. Click the OK button. The value appears in the Payroll Liability Override window.
   
9. Click the OK button.
