Forward Charging

The Forward Charging option field contains 2 selection fields:

Employee Currency

Compayny Currency

The Forward Charging field is only required when the KORE cost accounting (SwissSalary NAV) or the BBA construction operations accounting (SwissSalary BAU) modules are used. This allocation is used to determine the rate that should be cumulated with the number when posting wage costs in KORE/BBA. This means that when a personnel card is assigned, the employee’s wage rate is cumulated together with the number of hours. The result is then reflected in the Amount field in KORE/BBA. Using the Reporting option, the rate is transferred to KORE/BBA, which was effectively recorded in the Report journal in the Rate field.

Example:

All salary types that are recorded with the number of hours (hours worked/absence, etc.) must show the assignment to a Employee card. When information is recorded, e.g. about hours worked by a monthly wage earner, the wages clerk only records the number of hours and NOT the rate. For the system to recognize during posting that the employee’s wage rate should be posted, this option must be enabled in the personnel card for these salary types.

All other salary types have the Reporting option. This means, for example, during mileage compensation calculation, that it is not the employee’s wage rate that should be recorded, but rather the mileage compensation rate. This is also the value that was entered in the Rate field in Reporting.

Sources of error:

Incorrectly assigned options can lead to inexplicably large shortfalls in KORE/BBA. A common example of this is the Mileage compensation and/or Private share of company cars salary types. If by mistake the Employee card option is entered instead of Reporting for this wage type, the number of kilometers x wage rate will be recorded during booking instead of the km rate.
