Running the Costing Process

The Costing process generates journal entries for your ledgers and costing information relating to labor costs. You can enter start and end dates of the period over which you want to cost payroll runs in order to cost all your runs in one process. Alternatively, you may want to produce a costing run for each payroll run

The Costing process includes all employees with active assignments on the payroll that you specify. This means that you can get accurate costings for those employees who have moved to a different payroll by the time you run the Costing process.

You run the Costing process from the Submit Requests window. You should run Costing before the Transfer to GL process.
