Please note that the ECA Cost of Living Adjustment expects the Net Pay to be entered as the base salary. The ECA Education Cost, ECA Hardship Allowance (% of Gross Salary), ECA Host Country Transportation Cost, ECA Host Housing Cost expect the base salary to be Gross Pay. Therefore the ECA COLA should not be combined with other ECA calculations on one balance sheet.

There are two imports necessary to utilize ECA data. They are the ECA COL Data Import and the ECA Spendable Import. You can access them from the Company Menu in the Processes section and clicking on Import Data there you will find both of the imports.
