2.	Click Add. The Add ACC Code screen displays.
3.	In the ACC Code, and Industry fields, select or key in information about the new ACC code. ACC Code - The industry code that uniquely identifies the industry to which the ACC code corresponds. This field cannot be edited once the code has been used in a pay batch. Industry - The name of the industry to which the ACC code corresponds. This field cannot be edited once the code has been used in a pay batch. Active - If ticked, this ACC code is available to be assigned to agency offices and job orders. If un-ticked, the ACC code cannot be assigned to any agency offices or job orders to which it is not already assigned. Description - Textual description of the ACC code and the industry to which it applies. Import Code - Code that uniquely maps the ACC code to an ACC code in a third-party financial system for the purpose of importing the code from a third-party financial system. Export Code - Code that uniquely maps the ACC code to an ACC code in a third-party financial system for the purpose of exporting the code to a third-party financial system. Last Payment Date - Displays the payment date of the latest pay batch in which the ACC code was used. When adding a new rate, the start date on which the new rate becomes effective must be after the date shown in this field. P/L Export Account - If your system is integrated with a third-party financial system, this field specifies the profit/loss account in the financial system to which transactions against this ACC code are exported.

Assigned Skill Groups - Lists the skill groups to which the ACC code corresponds. Click the pencil button to display the Assign Skill Group screen, which allows you to select the skill group(s) to which the ACC code applies. Where a selected skill group applies to a job order, this ACC code will be filtered to the top of the list in the ACC Code field on the Recruitment Manager > Job Order > Wage Costs screen for ease of selection. You cannot un-assign skill groups or assign additional skill groups once the code has been used in a pay batch. Start Date - The date on which the listed ACC rate becomes effective. This field cannot be edited once the code has been used in a pay batch for the corresponding period. End Date - The date on which the listed ACC rate ceases to be effective. This can be blank for the current period if the current period is to remain effective indefinitely. Rate % - The rate, as a percentage of remuneration, at which ACC is calculated under the ACC code for the corresponding period. This field cannot be edited once the code has been used in a pay batch for the corresponding period.
