As a Cost Centre Manager, you can execute this report to:

• view the charges incurred on your cost centre; this function can be especially important for labour-intensive companies (such as service providers), where employee remuneration forms a major cost.
• plan costs for future expansions.
• calculate the average cost incurred per employee for each cost centre.

1. Enter the appropriate company code and selection period. If you enter dates within the same month, month-to-date (MTD) values are displayed accordingly. Similarly, if the reporting period lies within a single year, year-to-date (YTD) values are also displayed.
2. Enter the cost centre(s) for which you are responsible and for which you wish to perform reporting. If you are responsible for more than one cost centre, you can specify these here. If you enter a cost centre for which you are not responsible, the report simply omits this cost centre during processing.
3. Enter the wage type application to be used. This indicates the wage components you want to view. You may specify variances in the wage type application that enable you to view only a certain set of wage components for the employees in your cost centre. These variances, however, must be configured in advance by the Payroll Administrator.

The system displays the costs incurred for each employee, per wage component, per posting period. You can view the totals at each level.

You can customize the output display in a different sort order. The default sort order is: Cost Centre; Employee; Cost Element; Wage Component; Posting Date. Subsequently, you can use drag and drop within the tree display to change the sort order of the report. You can also choose to expand or collapse the tree output at each level.

In addition, you can download the results to a worksheet format.
