New features for transfers from HR to FI/CO

Description

Customizing using IMG System.

Transfers from HR to FI/CO can now be set up completely using the IMG System for HR personnel administration.

Enhancement of supported account assignment objects.

• Postings are supported to new account assignment objects which can be entered in master data (cost objects, WBS elements, etc).

• New format for split documents.

Posting to a clearing cost center and reposting in CO.

• Summarized FI postings to avoid large numbers of FI postings which, as far as financial accounting is concerned, are not usually required in such detail, and to prevent personnel costs for individual cost centers from being disclosed within financial accounting.

• Feature XCIPO to assign the clearing cost center.

• Several variants for split sessions.

Posting in special periods.

• Postings from retroactive runs which concern the previous fiscal year can be effected in special periods (such as 13, 14, 15, 16) which are specified when report RPCIPO00 is started.

New account assignment type Q for posting to clearing accounts using a personnel number.

• For example: travel expenses, advances, loans. You then have the option to effect automatic numbering in FI.

Enhanced revision support.

During the course of the procedure from the payroll results to the document created for the posting, summarizations take place in a number of steps. These ensure that only summarized data is transferred to financial accounting on the basis of which it is not usually possible to access data on individual employees. They also ensure that the number of line items in the resulting documents remains as low as possible.

If it is unclear how amounts in individual line items ever came to exist, the user needs to be able to display the data on which they are based. For this reason, 'Further Revision Support' has been developed for release 3.0.

Further fields for postings from special reports.

• Month end accruals, third party remittances, ...

Enhancements for USA / Canada / Japan.

• Bonus runs.

• Check date as posting date.

Changed procedures.

TemSe used to store the work file.

• General rule: A unique name is used for each work file to prevent them from being confused with each other.

• In special cases: Customer-specific names can be used so that 'Prepare Reporting' and 'Transfer to FI/CO' can be started in the same batch run and so that more than one work file can be processed in parallel in batch operations. (Please refer to a separate release note for information on necessary preparatory work).

Split assigned items / summarized items.

Up to release 3.0, items and summarized items assigned to the same account assignment object had to be split between two separate posting documents. This is now an option.

New options for assigning fixed cost postings.

Up to release 3.0, fixed cost postings were always assigned to summarized items. To satisfy customer requirements, it is now also possible to assign fixed cost postings to assigned items so that documents can be split by postings to expense accounts and postings to clearing accounts. You only have this option if the system is set up for assigned and summarized items to be posted separately.

Line split for employee modifier / symbolic account.

Up to release 3.0, postings to G/L accounts resulting from different values for the employee modifier or different symbolic accounts were posted separately and also listed separately in the posting list. However, the individual lines failed to indicate the reason for the difference.

This procedure is very helpful when searching for errors but often proves undesirable when the number of posting lines needs to be minimized.

As of release 3.0A, it is possible when starting report RPCIPO00 (to effect a transfer to FI/CO) to specify whether these lines must be summarized or posted and listed separately. The reason for the difference (value of employee modifier or symbolic account) is printed on a paper document.

Enhanced logging on paper document.

• Origin of and information on the circumstances regarding how the imported dataset came to exist.

• List of accounts not found.

• List of unused line items.

• Enhancement of check lists at end of paper document.
