Deduction wagetype mapping to expense account for GL posting

[raid]

We have few deduction wagetypes should map to expense account. While posting its throwing an error in FI system to maintain the cost enter.. this will be done manually. Let us know how this will be fixed from payroll system

,Hi Divyashree,

May I suggest if you could recheck the configuration for the deductions wage types in the table V_T52EK. I want to ensure that the symbolic accounts assigned to these wage types are not tagged as expense since we are using balance sheet account for posting. This may be one of the causes for the error. Please do let me know if the symbolic accounts also reflect the same type as the GL account.

Hope this is helpful!

Hi Divyashree,

It's a standard practice to tag deduction wagetypes to a balance sheet account in GL posting. When we do so, the request for cost center would only be raised as a warning message but not as an error. In that scenario, you will still be able to post your pay results.

Could you elaborate more on why your deduction wagetypes are being expected to be tagged to an expense account?

Coming to the point of cost center error while posting, there are two ways we can resolve this:

1. In HR master data, in IT 1, a master cost center should be input. This can come through manual input by HR or through an interface that would update this field from external FI system that your client may use. Also, in case you need cost distribution for your wagetype, you may use IT 27 to split the cost or maintain individual distribution through cost assignment tab in IT 15.

2. You can also maintain a default cost center for the GL account at the time of creation to tell the system to pick that one while posting.

As mentioned earlier, clarify with your client on why they want to post a deduction wagetype to expenses account. The reason SAP throws an error is because it's mandatory for an expenses account to have a cost center.

Hope this helps!

Hi Eeshwari,

Thanks for the update.

This is actually a client requirement to track the plant cost where it should be tag to expense account GL(6 series) Currently these are map to 6 series GL with the tag balance account and maintained cost center in IT15. If we change it to expense account its showing an error in FI posting run(GL account missing).As per current mapping it will move from PY side but again will have an issue in FI system due to CO object. At that time everyline we have to maintain the cost center.
