In cross-company code transactions, payables are assigned to a company code other than the one in which the corresponding expenses arose. This gives rise to payables and receivables between company codes.
If you want to post receivables and payables to company code clearing accounts, you must make settings in various steps as outlined below.
For more information on cross-company code transactions and business considerations, refer to the SAP Library under Payroll-> country -> Subsequent Activities -> Posting to Accounting -> Special Business Requirements -> Cross-Company Code Transactions .
Settings for Posting to Company Code Clearing Accounts
In the step Define Symbolic Accounts, you must assign an account assignment type to each symbolic account in Human Resources. For posting to balance sheet accounts in cross-company code transactions, the account assignment types FL and FO are used. Technically, the account assignment types are defined as follows:
With account assignment type FL, wage types are posted in line with information from the last period from the WPBP table (Workplace Basic Pay) for the current original period.
With account assignment type FO, wage types are only posted in the current original result.
You assign symbolic accounts with account assignment type FL to the wage types that contain the difference between new and old payment amounts resulting from retroactive accounting. In countries that use the principle of origin, this usually affects wage types /551 Recalculation difference and /552 Subsequent clearing from previous month.
You assign symbolic accounts with account assignment type FO to wage types whose amounts do not change in retroactive accounting. This usually affects wage types /557 Cash payment, /558 Payment of balance, /559 Transfer and other, country-specific wage types.
In the step Create Posting Variants, you must set the Post to cross-company code clearing accounts indicator for your posting variants, otherwise receivables and payables between company codes are posted to the document split account for all company codes instead of company code clearing accounts.
