Producing a detailed analysis


Read the full guide	Sage Cover Extra webinars

In Sage 50 Payroll you can produce a more detailed analysis of your payroll costs using overrides. For example, you can separate your payments into their individual elements, such as salary, overtime or bonus, and post the details to different nominal codes.

You can do this for both your profit and loss analysis and balance sheet analysis.

To set up overrides

Company > Nominal Settings, then click the appropriate Analysis tab. For example, P&L Analysis.
Click the appropriate Override button for the nominal code categories you want to separate. For example, Payments Override.
In the Type column, click the finder button > select the type of information you want to create an override for.
In the Acc N/C box enter the nominal code you want to use for the posting to your accounts software.
To breakdown your costs further, you can:
- Enter your default accounts cost centre in the Acc C/C column.
- Enter your default department in the Acc Dept column.
When you have finished > OK > OK.
