Pension Invoices can be used in conjunction with Billing Invoices to distinguish and segregate the pension related costs and backing data.
Pension Invoices configurations are based on “Billing Schemes” and apply to customers using said “Billing Schemes”.
Pension Invoices only include “ER Pension” costs and are only calculated for workers who are enrolled in a pension scheme and have pension deductions in a period.
Pension Invoices, like billing invoices are generated for each period and are independent of billing invoices.
Note: - Pension Invoices can be generated for PAYE workers only.
