Changing a Cost Item Overview

Prerequisites

You can review a list of cost items, and make edits while viewing the list. Working with a cost item overview is helpful if you want deal with cost items as a group.

The cost items shown in the list vary according to the type of scenario you are working with, as follows:

Projected pay scenario

The cost items in the list represent every wage element that exists in the system.

Basic pay or payroll results scenario

The costs elements represent every wage type and wage element that were referenced in the scenario.

The overview window contains two entries for each cost item. You can use the first entry for editing. The second entry is for reference purposes, so that you can compare cost item values.

You can enter changes as follows::

In the Validity fields, change the scenario period.

In the Amount field, change cost item amounts or percentages

The changes you enter affect the current scenario only.

Note

Changes apply only to objects for which cost item values are derived through an indirect valuation. Changes do not apply to cost items for which values are derived from a direct valuation (for example, cost items based on wage types).
