Example: Posting to Customer Accounts for Employees 

The graphic shows how the system posts the repayment of company loans to customer accounts for employees.

The employees Murphy, Miller and Smith were all granted a company loan. Each of these employees has their own customer account in Financial Accounting. In Human Resources, a symbolic account is used for the repayment of employee loans in Customizing.

The system does not assign this symbolic account a customer account number in Customizing for posting to Accounting, but assigns a code which takes the personnel numbers into account when determining the account.

In this way, a symbolic account is used in Human Resources Customizing for the repayments specified in the example, however, in Accounting, the system still posts to individual customer accounts for employees.

When posting to these customer accounts, the system automatically posts to the reconciliation account assigned to the customer in the general ledger.
