$note$
NOTE: The update synchronises all salary components, and maybe even salary components that your board doesn’t use that apply to a specific education type. You do not have to link salary components that you do not use. Never link individual salary components (salary based on hours worked etc) and salary components per staff role category (Teacher salary costs etc) to a ledger.
