Purpose
This process describes how to send simulated payroll results to Personnel Cost Planning without creating actual payroll results or posting documents.
Process Flow
You can access this report by choosing: Human resources ® Payroll ® Subsequent activities ® Per payroll period ® Report ® Posting to accounting ® Execute run. This report creates the simulated posting documents and provides you with the number of the posting run.
To send simulated payroll results to Personnel Cost Planning, you must maintain the following parameters:
Field |
Parameter |
Simulation parameter |
Create document |
T |
|
Simulate payroll |
X |
RPCALCx0 |
x = country indicator
You do not have to enter a variant. If you do not specify a variant, the system will use the standard settings to run the relevant payroll accounting program. In all cases, the system will copy the input parameters for the payroll period and person selection from RPCIPE00. Access these settings by choosing Cost Planning from the selection screen.
For more information on creating simulated payroll reporting documents for posting to accounting, see the SAP library, Transferring Payroll Results to FI/CO ® Creating posting documents.
If simulated payroll results exist for Personnel Cost Planning for a period, you can overwrite them at any time with new simulated results or actual payroll results. If actual payroll results exist for Personnel Cost Planning for a period, however, these can no longer be overwritten with simulated payroll results.
Result
Simulated payroll results are sent to the Personnel Cost Planning database, PCL5, and can be used for planning based on payroll results. In this instance, the system has not created any actual payroll results or posting documents.
