# How do I create a spine point (via post) addition heading?

These **Spine Point (Via Post)** headings are used in relation to **Pay Spines**, which are set up independently. You must have an adjustment heading set up before you set up a **Spinal Column Table** so that the default heading can be used. You can select the heading from the **Pay Salaries Using Heading** drop-down list.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** This Spine Point (Via Post) heading can be overridden in the employee's Post History using the Spine Point Salary Paid As drop-down list.

**Spine Point Salary (via Post)** headings are not available if the **Spine Point Salary (via Grade)** category is set up at implementation.

## To create a default heading:

1. Navigate to the **Addition Heading Definition** window. Go to **Cintra iQ**: Payroll > Payroll Setup > Adjustments > Addition Headings...
2. Click the **New** button. The **New Addition Heading** window appears.
3. Enter the **Name** of the new **Addition Heading**.
  - Ensure the relevant **Reporting Group** is selected.
  - Ensure the **Category: Spine Point Salary (via Post)** is selected.
4. Select **Monetary Amount** as the **Addition Type**.
5. Click the **Next** button. The **Ad Hoc Payment...** window appears.
6. Select the desired options in the **Main Settings** tab.
7. Navigate to the **Other** tab.
8. Continue to select the desired options in the **Other** tab.
9. Click the **Apply** button. You are now ready to use the heading in the **Pay Spine Summary** when paying salaries. For more information, see [How Do I Set Up Pay Spines?](/iq/docs/how-do-i-set-up-pay-spines)
