# Deleting cost overrides

Now that your **Cost Analysis Structure** is set up, you can set up rules within **Cintra iQ**, according to how you want your costs to be analysed when you extract **Cost Analysis** data. The rule set up is based on pay elements.

You can also group multiple pay elements together under a costing category so that you can apply cost analysis rules to categories of pay elements rather than individual pay elements.

You can override an **Accounts Part** for a specific payroll when mapping a liability to an account. And you can delete an override as well.

## How do I delete an override?

1. Navigate to the **Account Mappings** window. Go to **Cintra iQ**: Payroll > Payroll Set up > Accounting.
2. Navigate to the **Liability Allocation Overrides** tab. The **Payroll Liabilities** tab and the **Allocation Overrides** tab appears.
3. Select the **Allocation Overrides** tab. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/fc2cda72-4645-4b36-96bf-60439ec11f11/Images/Documentation/204001064061.png)
