Cost Assignment with Activity Types (SAP Library - Personnel Time Management (PT))

Cost Assignment with Activity Types

Use

This function allows you to debit a cost center/ activity type directly with actual R/3 Controlling (CO).

For more information on posting to R/3 Controlling, see Posting Actual Costs to Activity Type.

Integration

The recorded time data is transferred to Payroll (PY) and processed further there. Personnel costs are determined in Payroll (PY) and transferred to R/3 Controlling (CO).

Debiting the cost center/activity type with actual costs only makes sense if activity allocation is first carried out for this cost center/activity type.

During cost assignment with activity types, you must always enter a cost center as the account assignment object.
