Multiple Cost Centre Override

This option allows you to prevent the payroll from summing up earnings/allowances/deductions/other income when employees move from one cost centre to another.

For example, an employee may have been promoted and  moved from one position to another. To facilitate this movement, you would enter a Position Change and a Salary  Change. This change may also mean that the employee has moved from one cost centre to another (this link is set up in the General Ledger).

If the cost centres are the same, the payroll would process the new salary in the normal payroll run.

Once the cost centres are different, the payroll would normally add the old salary to the new salary and process  this in the normal payroll run.  

To prevent the latter from happening, use the Multiple Cost Centre Override to indicate to the payroll to override the last cost centre and allocate the earnings/allowances/deductions/other income to the new cost centre.

The override is done by pay group and by entry (Timesheets/Deductions/Allowances/Other Income).
