When posting payroll results to Accounting, it is sometimes useful to have documents in Accounting, which are as small as possible. These documents should be summarized using CO account assignments while detailed information on the CO account assignments should be available to Controlling. This is necessary in the following situations, for example:

• You should remove the information you do not require from Financial Accounting.

• Accounting should not have access to certain detailed information, for example, when posting to cost centers that were set up for individual employees.

You can meet these requirements with the help of Document Summarization for Overhead Costs-Controlling in Accounting.

To use document summarization in Financial Accounting for posting the payroll results, you must make the relevant settings for HRPAY in Customizing for Financial Accounting, under (General Ledger Accounting ® Business Transactions ® Integration ® Overhead Cost Controlling ® Carry Out Document Summarization in Overhead Cost Controlling).
