e-Cost SE™ is a Sage Pastel version of e-Cost™. If you have the Plug-In Key entered you will be able to set up Cost Centres to break the General Ledger payroll information down to Cost Centre, Department and Pay Rate. You can also enter a Sage Pastel Code from your Accounting Software which will allow you to import this information with your General Ledger import.
Sage Pastel Evolution has a Project Code, which allows for up to 20 numbers or characters.
Sage Line 50 has a Dept. Num (or Department Number), which allows for 3 numbers
Pastel Partner and Pastel Xpress use a Cost Code, which allows for 5 numbers or characters.
In the employee file in Pay Types and Cost Centres add a Primary Cost Centre.
For further details of the cost centre screen see Cost Centre List.
The operating costs of a business enterprise may be allocated to several different areas of the organisation eg. Administration, Workshop, Sales etc. In e-PayDay® these areas are referred to as Cost Centres.
Depending on the area in which the employee has worked during the pay period, the employee's gross pay, including allowances and deductions can be allocated to different Cost Centres.
To access Cost Centre information from the main screen, click on the word 'Company' (above the picture button) then click on the 'e-Cost SC™' option.
This takes you to the Cost Centre List. See Cost Centre List
For information specific to adding or editing a cost centre see Adding / Editing a Cost Centre
The attributing of pay to cost centres is actually done in the employee's pay envelope.
See Sage Hours.
At this stage there is no automatic preset for cost centre information to appear in a payrun. The hours will have to be entered against the relevant cost code pay period after pay period
