Technical Sequence of Posting 

Purpose

Posting to Accounting includes the evaluation of the payroll results, the creation of posting documents and posting them in the Accounting components.

Process Flow

  1. Each time Posting to Accounting is started, the system creates a posting run with a distinctive number. The posting run allows you to recreate the information edited at any time. The posting run has a different status at each point between the reporting of the payroll results and the posting of the summarized information.
  2. The system evaluates the payroll results in view of information relevant to posting. If payroll results are evaluated for a live posting run, they are flagged. This ensures that the payroll results are not evaluated twice. The system can also use the selection to check whether any payroll results exist in a payroll period that has not been evaluated yet.
  3. The system determines the symbolic account assignment from the wage types to be posted using the settings in Customizing. The system derives the employee grouping for the account assignment from certain characteristics of the employee. The system derives the G/L account from the combination of employee grouping and symbolic account. The account assignment objects are determined.
  4. The system creates summarized posting documents from the data determined. These only contain information that is relevant for the Accounting components.
  5. The system posts the posting documents directly to the Accounting components involved using the Accounting interface.
