Adding New Rows to the Cost Structure

A Cost Structure is usually set up for a company with three levels: Division, Cost Centre, and Department, however addition levels can be added, up to a maximum of 8. Employees must be assigned a Home Costing, however a regular or one-off split can also be set up so that an employee's earnings go to different departments.

Each company will typically only have one Cost Structure, however while rare it is possible to have more than one in some circumstances.

This guide shows how to add a New Division, Cost Centre or Department Costing, however the principle is the same regardless of how many levels your Cost Structure has.

Navigate to the Costing tab > Cost Structure and select your Cost Structure.

To add a Division, Cost Centre or Department, right click on an existing cost box within the level and category you wish to add it for > Add to…
For example, if you need to add a new Department to the Cost Centre "Tier 1", you would right click on an existing Department and select Add To…. This will insert a new line with all of the information up to that point already filled out, leaving only the Department information to complete.

Enter the codes and names for your Cost Boxes.

Once you have added all Cost Boxes and are happy with your additions, click on a previously existing cell and save.
