Accrual vs. Expense Accounts

Because the policy on accruing types of leave is not universal, you define your leave policies in the system. You can do this by entering or not entering leave accrual and leave expense accounts on the Configure Leave Types screen. The table indicates how Costpoint handles the various options:

Accrual Account Expense Account Account to Enter on TS Leave Journal Accrual Earnings Record Accrual
06010 05021 Accrual (06010) Y Y
00000 05025 Expense (05025) N Y
00000 00000 N/A N/A N/A

Step 4: Set Up Leave Periods

Use the Manage Leave Periods screen to identify the period of time used for controlling leave accruals before you can establish your employee Leave tables. The leave period that is open on this screen is the basis for leave accrual calculations.

Step 5: Set Up Leave Tables

Use the Configure Leave Codes screen to establish the leave codes that can be used for accruing specific leave types (vacation, sick, and any other leave). This table associates each leave type with a leave code, with each leave code representing a method or predetermined schedule of accruing leave. You must establish leave codes before assigning employee leave information and before computing leave accruals.

Step 6: Maintain Leave Beginning Balances

Use the Manage Leave Beginning Balances screen to enter employee leave balances that were accrued before you initialized Costpoint.

Step 7: Set Up Employee Leave Information

Use the Manage Employee Leave screen to assign leave codes and related leave hire dates to individual employees previously established on the Manage Employee Salary Information screen. Computing leave accruals updates the employee leave status.

Step 8: Print and Review Employee Leave Report

Once you have entered the employee leave information, print and review the Employee Leave Report (the Print Employee Leave Report screen).
