[**A. Create the component with Monthly Input enabled**](#a.-create-the-component-with-monthly-input-enabled)

[**B. Add the component to the Salary Structure**](#b.-add-the-component-to-the-salary-structure)

[**C. Enter the amount in Monthly Input**](#c.-enter-the-amount-in-monthly-input)

### **A. Create the component with Monthly Input enabled**

**Path**: **Cloud Portal → Settings → Payroll → Salary Component → Earnings or Deductions → ‘+’ Icon → Field Name → Behaviour → Monthly Input (Y/N) → Save**

**Step 1**: Log into the **Cloud** portal, go to the **‘Settings’** menu and under the **‘Payroll’** tab, click on **‘Salary Component’**.

**Step 2**: Click on **‘Earnings’** (for an allowance or payment) or **‘Deductions’** (for a recovery or penalty), then click on the **‘+’** icon at the upper right side of the screen.
