Process Flow for Integrated Position Management 

Purpose

If integration of Position Management (PA-PM) to Funds Management (FI-FM) is activated, financing, payroll and posting take place as in the following example.

Process Flow

1. Financing the Person

The person is financed either directly or via their position in Position Management.

In this example, financing of 2,000 is created based on the expenditure type A001 with the following account assignment objects from Funds Management:

 

This creates a funds commitment of 2,000 on this account assignment in Funds Management (FM). The funds commitment takes place in the funds commitment document number 00000111 in line 002.

2. Payroll

Position Management provides Payroll with the following information for the period that corresponds to the processed payroll period:

The financing amounts on the account assignment objects are converted to percentages and saved in the Funding (FUND) table in the payroll result along with the information mentioned using account assignment objects and funds commitment.

In the example, the expenditure type A001 is 100% financed from the account assignment objects funds center S1, commitment item Salaries and fund F1.

3. Evaluating the Payroll Results

When evaluating the payroll results for posting to Accounting, the system uses the settings in Customizing to determine which expenditure type every expenditure wage type is assigned to that exists in the Results table (RT) in the payroll result for the employee and should be taken into consideration when posting. The Financing (FUND) table in the payroll result for an employee is used to determine with which account assignments from Funds Management these expenditure types were financed and which document and line number the funds commitment created by Position Management in Funds Management has. These account assignments from Funds Management and the document and line number of the funds commitment are given as account assignment information when posting the expenditure wage types to Accounting.

In the example, the expenditure wage type M020 Monthly salary has an amount of 2,125 according to the Results Table (RT). The expenditure type A001 is assigned to this wage type in Customizing. The Financing (FUND) table is used to determine that the expenditure type A001 was financed with the account assignment objects; funds center S1, funds commitment Salaries and fund F1. This information, as well as the document and line number of the funds commitment is contained in the posting document created by posting to Accounting.

4. Posting to Accounting

When posting to Accounting, an actual posting to the account assignment objects specified in the posting document takes place in Funds Management. The funds commitment is reduced by the amount of the actual posting.

In the example, the actual posting to the account assignment objects; funds center S1, funds commitment Salaries and fund F1, takes place in Funds Management. As the amount of the actual posting (2,125) is higher than the funds commitment (2,000), the funds commitment is reduced completely.
