Summary
Description
As part of setting up your nominal integration, you may want to split your nominal postings down to further report or analyse codes per department or cost centre.
This is an optional step and is only needed if you wanted to split your postings down for this analysis.
TIP: Your employees must be assigned to a department or cost centre within Sage Payroll before you have done End of Period, and the relevant nominal codes must be set up before End of Period as well for the postings to work correctly.
Resolution
Skip To
NOTE: Any nominal settings should be entered when you are at Start of Period or Time and Pay Calculated for them to be applied and take effect. If you are already at End of Period, you should rewind your payroll, make the relevant changes and then End the Period again. Otherwise the nominal code changes won't take effect until the next pay period.
Departments
TIP: You should make sure that the nominal codes are specified in the same nominal code format defined in your setup window. For example, if you specified a three-digit department code of ddd, then your department codes in this window should be three digits long. You can use a maximum of 16 characters for each code.
- On the menu bar, click Nominal then click Departments...
- Next to each department , enter the relevant nominal code.
- To save your changes, press OK.
Cost Centres
TIP: You should make sure that the nominal codes are specified in the same nominal code format defined in your setup window. For example, if you specified a three-digit cost centre code of ccc, then your cost centre codes in this window should be three digits long. You can use a maximum of 16 characters for each code.
- On the menu bar, click Nominal then click Cost Centre...
- Next to each cost centre, enter the relevant nominal code.
- To save your changes, press OK.
