This window is organized in a hierarchical tree. There are main branches and sub-branches, like main folders and sub-folders in a Windows Explorer environment.

Origins represent the product areas: Job Cost, Service Invoice, and Service Maintenance.

Account Types represent the types of offset charges for which accounts will be assigned. These include Gross Pay Offset, Overhead Offset, Travel Offset, and Expense Offset.

The highest level of the tree is Division; the next highest is Department. The next level depends on the origin/account type combination.

Each level contains a Default and All branch. Default is used when you want to assign a default account for that department, pay code, and so on, one is not needed at a lower level, such as per pay code, overhead code, or cost element. All is used when you know that there will be no specific accounts, and one account will suffice. Even the lowest levels within a hierarchy (Pay Code, Overhead Code, or Cost Element) have Default and All.

The ONLY required default account for the entire tree is the All - Default: REQUIRED account. You must assign a REQUIRED account for each origin/account type combination. However, this account would only be used if you did not have accounts assigned anywhere in the individual Division tree levels.

The hierarchy for each origin/account is illustrated below.

Preparing to set up accounts

...

Please review the following setup requirements for setting up offset accounts.

• Overhead Offset
  You can enter accounts for individual overhead detail codes (Job Cost) only if the Payroll Overhead Detail Distribution check box in the Posting Options window is marked. You can still assign a default account that would be used for all for overhead codes.
• Travel Offset Accounts and Expense Offset Accounts
  You can enter accounts for travel and expenses only if Signature TimeTrack is registered and the Create Expense/Travel Transactions option is set. This applies to all origins.

...

To keep better track of which accounts were assigned, we recommend you periodically print the Signature Payroll and Offset Accounts list. In the Payroll and Overhead Offset Accounts window, click on the printer button that appears at the bottom left of the window. Complete the Report Destination window to print the report.
