Nominal Cost Centres

Use the Nominal Cost Centres command to maintain details of cost centres used for the nominal analysis of payroll costs. This only applies if you do not have the Nominal application activated, but have the Payroll to External Nominal and Cost Centres in External Nominal options selected on the Options tab of the Company Profiles form in the System application. If you do have the Nominal application, this function will be unavailable and you must maintain nominal cost centres using the Cost Centres command on the Maintenance submenu in the Nominal application instead. For each cost centre record, you define a code applicable to the Payroll, the description and an external nominal cost centre ID. You can then use the Nominal Codes command on the Utilities submenu to define the cost centres defaults for payroll control accounts, selected from the ones you maintain here. You can also define 'masking' to further control the analysis output.
