The salary heads can be used in the formula only in the order they are saved. Ex. In above screen, Salary Head 'Basic Pay' can be used in a formula defined for any salary head defined below 'Basic Pay'. 'Overtime' cannot be used in formula defined for 'Conveyance Allowance' or 'Dearness Allowance', since 'Overtime' is defined below 'CA' and 'DA'. The 'Up' and 'Down' arrow buttons on the right hand side are used to order the Salary Heads as required.

Every Salary Group has its own Child Overview and Detail screen to add Salary Heads. As shown above the detail screen displays the child overview screen for selected Salary Group.

Child Detail Screen: Displays the Salary Head details

The screen has the following information:

Salary Head	Available Salary Heads
Value	The value can be fixed, formula or rate as selected in the dropdown menu. Either a fixed value can be defined, or a formula can be defined , or a rate can be specified.
Round Type	Round type for the salary head. Ex. Round to nearest integer, lower integer, higher integer, or round to two digits etc.
Formula	If the value is derived by a calculation, a formula can be defined using formula editor
Slab	Slab is displayed only if the salary head uses a slab to calculate the value. Ex: Professional Tax

Formula Editor: Interface for defining formula for calculating Salary Head values.

Formula Editor has the following fields:

Variables	Lists the variables available. Ex: Rate pre hour, rate pre day, days worked etc
Salary Heads	Lists the Salary Heads available(already defined) for use
Attendance Types	Lists the Attendance Types defined earlier
Leave Balance	Employee's leave balance for the salary period
Operators	Operators required to define any formula
Functions	Functions required to define formula. Ex: Average, Maximum, Minimum etc

All the Attendance Types values, leave balance values etc are for the defined salary period.

A formula can be defined by selecting required variables, salary heads, attendance types, operators and functions. For example, the formula for overtime wages can be the amount per hour of overtime multiplied by hours of overtime done, thus the formula is [Rate Per Hour] * {Overtime}. Smilarly the formula for DA can be defined as 40*{Basic Pay}/100. The 'Verify' button is used to verify if the formula is correct or not.

In case a slab is used to calculate the value for the salary head, for example Professional Tax, Select 'Slab is OFF' option to 'Slab is ON'. A slab can be defined by the user. Let's consider the Salary head 'Professional Tax'. Basic pay of the employee defines the amount of professional tax. Thus the salary head used to calculate is 'Basic Pay' and value is resulting from the slab defined.

Values for the 'Maximum', 'Result' field in the slab can be keyed in by the user. The '+' and '-' buttons in the right hand side are used to add or delete the rows in the slab respectively.

Note: A Salary Head can be assigned to a Salary Group only once. The Salay Head dropdown menu will display the Salary Heads that have not yet been assigned to the Group.
