Assigning wagetype to cost center without new cost element

Former Member

Hi,

Is there any way to assign either a wagetype, or symbolic account, to a specific cost center without using account codes? I know we can assign an account code to a fixed cost center, but that involves FI, and I want to avoid having to create a new account code.

Thanks.

Hi William,

Why you would do this? What is your exact requirement of doing this?

To post payroll result you must make connection between WT, Symbolic Account and FI Accounts.

Hi Omid,

Sorry for not making myself clear - I have several wagetypes that post to one shared account code. Now I need to post one of these wagetypes to a fixed cost center under the same account code.

The options I know are:

1. Create a new account code for the fixed cost center. This involves FI and a different account code, which I want to avoid.

2. Assign cost assignments individually per employee in IT15 - but there are a lot of employees involved. Unless there is some way to mass update this, but I don't see anything in PA70.

Thanks!

Hi William,

I got the issue. My recommendation is check if FI department first. Maybe they would have collect all the amounts in account and just posting into a cost center is not enough.

By the way which kind of WT is this? Why you have to put it into IT0015?

Hi Omid,

The wagetype is to pay the staff an appreciation award. This is normally updated into Infotype 15 as a one time payment. The condition is that the expense is to be charged back to one expense account in the cost center which budgeted for it.

Currently I have to manually repost the expense from all the employees' own cost centers to this cost center in FI.

I just want this wagetype to post to one fixed cost center, while still using the current account code. The problem is the account code is shared by a few other wagetypes which post to employees' own cost centers, so I cannot use the fixed cost center method in payroll posting.

Regards,

William.
