Linking Areas to Cost Centres

In Deputy, you may have different Areas and Location set up, that you would like integrated into your General Ledger report. This can be as detailed or as simple as you like. If you don’t need this level of detail, as long as each employee’s personal details page has a default cost center, the costs will be applied accordingly without any additional setup required in Deputy.

In CloudPayroll

The Area Export code you enter into Deputy, will need to match a cost centre/GL code (Setup > Costing/GL) in CloudPayroll. If the code is not in CloudPayroll, you will need to add it under Setup > Costing/GL.

If you use Xero Tracking or have departments, you will need to ensure you record both the code and the tracking category in Deputy. For example, if your cost centre for wages is 477 and the tracking category for this location in Xero is Melbourne, you would enter 477|Mebourne into the Deputy export code. The pipe\vertical bar | is used to separate the cost centre and the tracking category, with no spaces around the pipe.
