Before you can run the National Service (NS) In-Camp Training Computation report, you must perform the following set-up process. You only need to do this once,but you must redo it whenever there are changes to the pay elements required for the NS claim calculation.

   To set up the National Service In-Camp Training Computation report:

1. Define the primary balances required for the NS calculation:

   • Balance types must be Basic Salary or Allowance.

   • Create one balance for every pay element that you want to include in the NS calculation.

   • Select the _ASG_MONTH dimension for each balance. No classification is required.

   See: Defining User Balances

2. Define the basic salary and allowance elements required for the NS calculation and link them to the balances that you defined previously.

   • Create an element for each balance.

   Suggestion: We recommend that you give the element the same name as the balance, or use a similar name, to help you link the balance and element easily.

   • Classify the basic salary elements as Ordinary Earnings and the allowance elements as Additional Earnings.

   • Enter into each element's Further Element Information field the equivalent primary balance. For example, enter the NS Car Allowance balance into the NS Car Allowance pay element.

   See: Defining an Element and Defining Element Links

3. Using the Balance window, query the primary balances and check that the pay elements you created feed the correct balances.

4. Create two element sets to identify the payment elements that are required for the calculation.

   • Create one element set for the allowances that will be reported as line items. Include the Additional Earnings pay elements that you created previously.

   • Create another element set for the elements that will be summed and reported as the current basic salary. Include the Ordinary Earnings pay elements that you created previously.

   • Select Run Set as the type for each element set.

5. Using the Assignment window, check that the allowance and basic salary elements have been set up as element entries for any assignments that you want to report on for a specific payroll period.
