Posting to General Ledger

Posting payroll results to accounting is one of the subsequent activities performed after a successful payroll run. It usually takes place once each payroll period, as well as after each off-cycle payroll run. Once you have exited the payroll run, you need to post the payroll results to the appropriate GL accounts (including cost centres). GL psoting does the following  

Groups together posting-relevant information from the payroll results. Creates summarized documents. Performs the relevant postings to appropriate GL accounts and cost centers

H ow posting is evaluated ? Each employee’s payroll result contains different wage types that are relevant to accounting: 







Wage types such as standard salary, bonuses, and overtime represent expenses for the company, which are posted to a corresponding expense account. Wage types such as bank transfer, employment tax, employee’s contribution to social insurance, etc. are the employer’s payables to the employee, the tax office, etc. and are posted as credits to a corresponding payables or financial account. In addition, there are wage types such as the employer’s health insurance contribution, which represents an expense for the enterprise and, at the same time, a payable to the social insurance agency. For this reason, such wage types are posted to two accounts - once debited as an expense, and once credited as a payable. Other types of wage types also exist, for example accruals, provisions, etc. These types of wage types are usually posted to two accounts, once debited as an expense and once credited as a provision.

Posting to General Ledger is a 2 STEP process :STEP 1) Create a Posting Run Transaction: PC00_M99_CIPE >

   

This step creates a posting run based on the payroll results, with a “distinctive number”, a “run type PP”, and the accompanying posting documents. The posting run ensures that payroll results for an employee are only posted once Processed payroll results for an employee are flagged If the posting run is successful, it gets the status “Documents Created”. If the posting run is unsuccessful, it gets the status “Incorrect Documents”. Relevant error messages will appear in the Output Log.

A posting run can be executed in 3 Modes:   

A test run without documents (T) A simulation run with simulation documents (S) A productive run (P)

Test (T)

In a test run, the system checks only whether the balance of expenses and payables is zero, as it should be. Simulation (S)

In both simulation and productive runs, the system checks all HR and RT tables and the posting information in master data to determine whether they exist and whether they are consistent. Productive Run (P)

When you choose Execute Run for a productive run, the system performs the following steps:   

Selects the employees and their payroll results for the evaluation Creates a posting run Creates posting documents

Program Input Screen

Enter Payroll Area , Selection Criteria , Type of Document Creation , Check Ouput Log , Enter Document Date and Choose a Posting Variant. Click Execute.

These transactions can be bills receivables or bills payable or might be inter company money transfers which involves G/L Accounts , Customer or Vendor. The Line items can be open or cleared .

So at the year end ,there could be some revenue or expense due to exchange rate fluctuations which will be reflected in the Financial Statements.

Internal Order:

3.

All About Internal Order in SAP

Why Internal Order is Required? Internal orders describe individual jobs within a controlling area. Orders support action-oriented planning, monitoring, and allocation of costs. You can use internal orders to: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Monitor internal jobs settled to cost centers (overhead orders) Monitor internal jobs settled to fixed assets (investment orders) Offsetting postings of accrued costs calculated in CO (accrual orders) Display the cost controlling parts of Sales and Distribution customer not affect the core business of the company (orders with revenues)

We can use overhead orders for detailed controlling for a particular object or activity. All costs related to this object or activity are assigned to the relevant order. We can use orders as internal cost objects. For example if the company participate in 2 trade fair to target new clients . Without Orders , we post costs for the two trade fairs directly to the cost center responsible for supporting these events. As external costs and internal activities have the same cost elements on the same cost center, we cannot easilyfor determine which event created which costs.This means that we cannot make any further analyses comparison purposes. A further advantage is the wide variety of planning and budgeting functions provided for orders. As With Orders , each event receives its own overhead order, the costs are collected separately. The settlement function allocates the order costs to the cost center responsible for supporting the trade fairs, which provides you with the organizational view of the costs. This enables us to analyze and compare the results of the trade fairs, even after the settlement has been made.

Why A Profit Center is Required The Primary objective of Profit Center is to represent an independent organizational subunit that operates practically independently in the market, bears responsibility for it's own costs and revenue , and can be expanded to become an investment center or can be treated as a Company within a company.The Profit center approach embodies the increasing re-establishment between internal and external accounting, functioning as a connecting link between two accounting concepts.Profit Center Accounting helps in answering the following questions : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

How much is the revenue? How much is the cost of goods manufactured? How much is the contribution margin? How much is the administrative and sales costs? How much is the operating profit?

Profit Center Planning Planning Process is not a one-time activity, but rather an iterative process, which is usually performed in several steps.Profit center planning is an integral part of your overall company planning. The integral character of business planning is particularly apparent within the context of Profit Center Accounting, as the planning data used here is largely created in other applications (such as Cost Center Accounting) and can be supplemented or changed in Profit Center Accounting. Profit center planning is part of shortterm business planning and thus encompasses a span of one fiscal year. During the profit center planning process, Individual planning areas are combined into an integrated planning network. We can use various plan versions in order to depict various planning Profit center planning offers us the following methods of planning: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Copying existing plan or actual data to a plan Posting plan data by period or simultaneously by transaction from other applications Manual planning of profit centers Distribution and Assessment of data between profit centers Various plan reports for comparison of different plan versions

7. Creation Of Profit Center using Standard Hierarchy Standard hierarchy is a tree structure for grouping all profit centers which belong to a controlling area. When creating a profit center, you must assign it to a group (node) of the standard hierarchy. This ensures that all profit center of a controlling area are grouped in one node.This helps in reconciliation purposes. We can maintain the standard hierarchy from the application menu or in Customizing . Customizing also provides a function which allows you to create profit center groups by copying cost center groups. If our cost center structure is similar to our profit center structure, we can use this function to copy the cost center standard hierarchy to create our profit center standard hierarchy. Enter Transaction Code KCH1 in SAP Command Field

11. Compare Cost center, Profit center and Internal order Lets quickly compare the three entities Profit center:

1. Profit center is an organizational unit in accounting that reflects a management-oriented structure of the organization for the purpose of internal control. 2. Profit Center Accounting evaluates the profit or loss of individual, independent areas within an organization. 3. These areas are responsible for their costs and revenues. Cost Center:

1. Cost Centers are the organizational units within a controlling area that represents a location where costs occur. 2. Organizational divisions can be done on the basis of functional, settlement-related, activityrelated, region/section/department related, and/or responsibility-related, to monitor actual and plan figure standpoints 3. Where cost is captured. Internal Order:
