Maintain
Posting Date for Payroll Periods
In this step, you generate and maintain the
posting date for each payroll period of a payroll area. This setting is
relevant if you set the According to period
definition indicator as a default when you create the posting
run.
Accounting components use the posting date to
determine the posting period to which postings are to be made.
Example
A company runs payroll monthly for a payroll
area. You want to generate the posting dates for all the periods from 2000 to
2004.
Requirements
- Aperiod parameter and a date modifier are
assigned to each payroll area.
- You must have generated the payroll periods
for all combinations of these two parameters. In this process, the system
creates the start date, the end date and the payment date for each
period.
