Doubts related to Accrual process

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Could you please advice me on Accrual process.

1. In our scenario,   For period 17, which ends on Wed, 08/26/2015, the financial  book will be closed by the end of consecutive Friday that is on 08/28/2015

2. Under our current setup for the payroll cycle, the pay check issued on Friday that is on 08/21/15 only covers the period between 08/02 to 08/15/15.

The next payroll check on Fri, that is on 09/04/15, should cover the period of 08/16 to 08/29/15.

3. Based on the concept of accrual basis, the payroll period of 08/16/15 to 08/26/15 should be recognized as period 17's expense & the rest belongs to Period 18.

4. Would it be possible that system can generate an entry to recognize these expenses, for the period which belongs to period 17, on the last day of period 17 & reversed it on the 1st day of period 18?  On 09/04/15, actual posting of payroll remains the same.  It can be an estimated amount based on any reasonable historical data.

We maintained Payday and posting day dates (same day) only in V_T549S. No Values are maintained in V_T51A1

Please let us know what options we have to handle payroll if the accrual basis is implemented.

HI Experts,

I checked the Return value for the rule UAC0, where ACCMO is equal to Zero.

By this can we confirm that Accrual concept is not implemented in the system.

Shall we need to maintain ACCMO=1 in the rule to have monthly accrual functionality.

Along with that maintainance of Earliest document creation date (LDCD) and closing dates are also

mandatory to have the Accrual process in sap system.

Please advice.

Regards,

Sairam.

Hi Sairam,

In order to activate Month End Accruals functionalit, you will first need to set-up ACCMO=1. For every country you can activate it under respective sub-schemas.

Once switch is active you also needs to set-up Latest Document Creation Date and Closing Dates.

Your LDCD and posting dates play key roles to determine which periods would calculate accruals and which will not as your pay period start, end and posting dates are compared to check table LDCD and then calculate for accruals.

Thanks,

If the "Period covered" is from 2015/08/02 to 2015/08/15 (2 weeks), why is that not the Payroll Period Start and End Dates, with Pay Date set as 2015/08/26 ?

As for Accruals, there may be some Country Specific options, but I believed that they are related to Accounting Months, not Payroll Periods.
