Hi,

Actually GL Accounts needs to created as cost elements in the controlling to capture costs,revenue.. In the finance we will call it as GL Accounts and in the Controlling we will call it as Primary Cost Elements...

T.Code: KA01 - creation of cost element.

In OBYE we have to tag GL Accounts to respective Symbolic accounts.

Thanks,

The link goes: expense type --> wage type --> symbolic account

+ employee groupe --> account (FI/CO) (TC OBYE)

I can't give you the transaction codes for the first steps as I don't have the authorization to call those transactions. In customzing they are all under payroll> payroll: yourcountry>posting to accounting

Hope this helps
