In this IMG activity you make the settings that are necessary for the Transferring Personnel Cost Planning Results to Accounting scenario if you have a split system environment.
Note
In a split system environment, Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation and Controlling are in two separate systems. For the purposes of the IMG activity description, we assume that you are using SAP R/3 Enterprise Extension 1.10 (EA-HR 110) in your HR system, that your Accounting system has the release status SAP R/3 4.6A or above, and that you are using the functionality of the Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation component (PA-CP).
If you are using the Personnel Cost Planning component (PA-CM-CP) in the delivery SAP ECC Core (SAP_HR), see the documentation on the required settings in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for the SAP Web Application Server under Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Modelling and Implementing Business Processes -> Predefined ALE Business Processes -> Human Resources -> HR <-> AC -> Transferring Personnel Cost Planning to AC -> Set Up Scenario 'HR and AC with Release as of 4.6A'.
Process
For further information on setting up integration between the Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation and Controlling components if they are not in distributed systems, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation under Posting to Accounting.
The following describes how to set up integration if the components are in distributed systems.
Functions in HR System: Sending System (Server)
When you release a personnel cost plan, the SAP system adjusts the time-based personnel costs to the corresponding periods in Controlling (CO). Then you start posting the personnel cost plan. When you do that the SAP system transfers the results of the personnel cost plan to CO. In distributed systems all reading, verification, and writing processes take place in the AC system. For that reason, before each cross-system process, the HR system determines the receiver system based on your entries in the distribution model.
- When you release the personnel cost plan and the system formats the personnel costs in posting periods, the SAP system reads the data in the AC system using a Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI).
- When you check the plan for posting to Accounting, the system checks the personnel cost planning data in Controlling using a synchronous BAPI.
- When you post the plan to Controlling, the following happens:
- The system checks the personnel cost planning data in Controlling using a synchronous BAPI.
- Over the ALE layer, the system transfers the data asynchronously to the receiver system.
Functions in the AC System: Receiver System (Client)
- The system posts the data to the AC system.
Maintaining the Distribution Model
To guarantee the flow of communication between the two systems, you must enter a message type and/or an object with the corresponding method when you maintain the distribution model.
As sender and receiver system, enter the following:
- Sender/Client: HR system
- Receiver/Server: AC system
Object Name Method Meaning
StatisticKeyFigureCO GetDetail Checks the statistical key figures stored in Customizing in CO
StatisticKeyFigureCO GetList Reads the statistical key figures available for input help from CO
ControllingArea GetPeriod Determines the posting period and fiscal year; regulates participating fiscal years when you release a plan
ControllingArea GetPeriodLimits Determines validity periods for posting periods
PlanDataTransferCO GetSourceInfos Determines CO posting parameters
PlanDataTransferCO CheckPrimaryCosts Checks posting data for cost elements in CO
PlanDataTransferCO PostPrimaryCosts Posts cost element data to CO
PlanDataTransferCO CheckKeyFigures Checks posting data for statistical key figures to CO
PlanDataTransferCO PostKeyFigures Posts statistical key figure data to CO
The following message types are used:
Object Method Message Type
PlanDataTransferCO.PostPrimaryCosts PDTCO_POSTPRIMARY
PlanDataTransferCO.PostKeyFigures PLANDATATRANSFERCO_POSTKEYFIGU
You can use the company code as a filter object for the following methods:
- PlanDataTransferCO.CheckPrimaryCosts
- PlanDataTransferCO.PostPrimaryCosts
- PlanDataTransferCO.CheckKeyFigures
- PlanDataTransferCO.PostKeyFigures
You can use the controlling area as a filter object for the following methods:
- StatisticKeyFigureCO.GetDetail
- StatisticKeyFigureCO.GetList
- ControllingArea.GetPeriod
- ControllingArea.GetPeriodLimits
- PlanDataTransferCO.GetSourceInfos
Partner Profiles
You can generate partner profiles from the distribution model. For further information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for the SAP Web Application Server under Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Modelling and Implementing Business Processes -> Set Up Partner Profile and Editing Time -> Generate Partner Profiles.
Settings in the AC System
Master Data for the HR System
To adopt personnel cost planning results you must distribute the cost center master data from CO.
For information on distributing the relevant CO master data in the HR system, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) of the SAP Web Application Server, under Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Modelling and Implementing Business Processes -> Configure Predefined ALE Business Processes -> Human Resources -> Distribution of Master Data.
Activities
- Check whether the communication flow for the objects StatisticKeyfigureCO, ControllingArea and PlanDataTransferCO has been maintained for the methods in your customer distribution model.
- Ensure that the necessary CO master data has been distributed in the HR system.
Further notes
The system determines cost elements in the target system for which the Check method of the AcctngEmplyeeExpnses objectis entered in the distribution model.
If you use Posting Payroll in a split system environment, this method is already entered in the distribution model. For more information on this, see the IMG for the Web Application Server, under Application Link Enabling (ALE) -> Modelling and Implementing Business Processes -> Configure Predefined ALE Business Processes -> Human Resources -> HR <-> AC -> Posting Payroll Results to AC -> under Configure Scenario 'HR and RW with Release as of 4.0A'.
If you do not post payroll, you have two ways of determining cost elements:
- You assign cost items to cost elements locally in the HR system and do not make any further settings in the distribution model. The system determines the cost elements locally.
- You assign cost items to cost elements in the AC system and, in addition to the methods described above, you enter the Check method of the AcctngEmplyeeExpnses in the ALE distribution model. The system then determines the cost elements in the AC system.
