Posting-Relevant Information in the Payroll Result

The following tables in the payroll result contain information relevant to posting:

The Results Table (RT) contains the wage types saved in the payroll results, with information on the rate (RTE), number (NUM), and amount (AMT), as well as the assignments to other tables. The assignments to the tables Work Center/Basic Pay (WPBP), Cost Distribution (C0), and Cost Assignment from Various Infotypes (C1) play a central role in the posting of payroll results.
The Work Center/Basic Pay table (WPBP) contains central partial period information from the following infotypes (as well as derived information):

Actions (0000)

Organizational Assignment (0001)

Planned Working Time (0007)

Basic Pay (0008)

The Cost Distribution (CO) table contains information from cost distribution within Organizational Management or from the Cost Distribution infotype (0027). The entries in the Cost Distribution (CO) table are assigned to entries in the Work Center/Basic Pay (WPBP) table.

The table Cost Distribution from Various Infotypes (C1) contains the cost assignments from various infotypes. For a list of the most important infotypes in which you can specify a cost assignment, see Posting-Relevant Information from Master Data, Time Data and Organizational Management. Those entries in the Results Table (RT) that contain wage types that were entered in one of these infotypes with a cost assignment or were created from it, link to the relevant entries in the table Cost Distribution from Various Infotypes (C1). A prerequisite for this is that the link to the table Cost Distribution from Various Infotypes (C1) was not deleted in the payroll calculation rules.

You can consider the payroll results from various points of view. The following functions are available:

Perspective	Function	Path
Employee	Remuneration Statement	Payroll ® Payroll ® Remuneration statement
Department	Wage Type Statement	Payroll ® Information System ® Wage Type ® Wage Type Statement
Department	Payroll Journal	Payroll ® Information System ® Organizational Unit ® Payroll Journal
Technical	Display cluster Rx	Payroll ® Tools ® Display Payroll Results

When posting to Accounting, the system evaluates the information in the payroll result tables for each personnel number in the following way:

It determines the posting characteristics defined in Customizing for every wage type contained in the Results Table (RT).

If a wage type should be posted to an expenses account in accordance with Customizing, the system checks if the entry for this wage type in the Results Table (RT) links to an entry in the table Cost Distribution from Various Infotypes (C1). If this is the case, the system posts the wage type amount to this cost assignment. If you have, however, specified that cost assignments from the table Cost Distribution from Various Infotypes (C1) should be ignored in the posting characteristics for the wage type, the system does not post the wage type amount to the specified cost assignment.

If the entry for a wage type in the Results Table (RT) does not link to an entry in the table Cost Distribution from Various Infotypes (C1) or the cost assignment specified is ignored because of the wage type’s posting characteristics, the system checks if the entry in the Results Table (RT) refers to a Partial Period in the Work Center/Basic Pay Table (WPBP). If this is the case this partial period is selected. If this is not the case, the system selects the last partial period in the table Work Center/Basic Pay (WPBP).

The system checks if a cost distribution in the Cost Distribution (CO) table is specified for the period defined in the table Work Center/Basic Pay (WPBP).

If this is the case, the system posts the wage type amount on a percentage basis to this cost assignment. If a cost assignment of less than 100% is specified in the table Cost Distribution (CO), the system posts the remaining amount to the master cost center that is specified for the respective partial period in the table Work Center/Basic Pay (WPBP).
If this is not the case, the system posts the total wage type amount to the master cost center that is specified for the respective partial period in the table Work Center/Basic Pay (WPBP).

If a wage type is posting-relevant according to Customizing but should not be posted to an expenses account, the system checks if the entry for this wage type in the Results Table (RT) links to a partial period in the table Work Center/Basic Pay (WPBP). If this is the case this partial period is selected. If this is not the case, the system selects the last partial period in the table Work Center/Basic Pay (WPBP). The system reads the company code, and if necessary, the business area from the defined partial period, and posts the wage type amount using this information as a basis. The business area is not taken into consideration when posting to customer and vendor accounts.
