The system only assigns an account to the largest part of the wage types to be posted to which the relevant amount is posted. Complete posting is only guaranteed by correctly selecting the wage types to be posted when processing the posting characteristics of wage types in Customizing.

Some of the wage types created in Payroll illustrate employer expenses. They should be posted in the Accounting components.

This expenses posting is offset by posting the receivables against the employees to the account Wages and Salaries to Be Paid. Other receivables against different recipients of deductions that are retained from the employee’s salary also arise, depending on the respective country. These are usually posted to a receivables account for each recipient group.

You must have defined the posting characteristics of the wage types in Payroll Customizing (under Reporting for Posting Payroll Results to Accounting ® Activities in the HR System ® Maintain Wage Types ® Define Posting Characteristics of Wage Types.
