Example: Posting Using Personnel Numbers 

Advances are paid to the cash office. In Financial Accounting, the system makes a respective Advances to cash office posting. The personnel number is assigned to the posting to the advances account.

By entering an Advance wage type in the master data for the employee affected, the system makes a net deduction (to the amount of the advance) within payroll, and posts it to the advance account when posting to Accounting.

You can check the retained advance payments using a list that is generated together with the wage type statement.

If posting to the advance account is based on personnel numbers, Financial Accounting can automatically clear this account, as shown in the following graphic:
