Employees can enter account assignments that are different from their master cost center at the time recording terminal.

The following account assignment objects can be posted:

• Cost centers (CO)
• Internal orders (CO)
• Projects (PS)

This function is beneficial only when used in conjunction with the processing of personnel time events.

The account assignment objects have to be downloaded to the time recording system.

Employees have two options for entering a different account assignment at the time recording terminal:

1. Employees enter the different account assignment along with their clock-in entry (P10 Clock-in or P01 Clock-in or clock-out); or
2. Employees enter the different account assignment along with the time event type P11 Change.

The account assignment information entered by employees is checked by the time recording system.

After the data has been processed and valuated in SAP Time Management (PT) and SAP Payroll (PY), it is then transferred to the applicable components in the SAP System.

Several account assignment objects can be recorded at the same time. The account assignment to be posted first is specified in SAP Controlling (CO). The other account assignment objects are only posted to create statistics.
