What are Cost Centres?

The cost centre configuration within Humanforce is very flexible and the cost centre codes can be attached to a number of organisational levels within the system.

Cost centre details can be included in the payroll export file so that payroll transactions to the General Ledger reflect when an employee works in a different cost centre to their default.

Cost Centre codes can be created based on any combination of the following fields:

• Location
• Department
• Role
• Area
• Period
• Award Profile
• Employment Type
• Pay Type
• Event
• Event Function
• Event Type

Here's a simple example mapping the location, departments, and roles to codes:
