Travel Management allows you to structure the interface to financial accounting flexibly through a so-called initial account assignment. Initial account assignment is used for specifying posting accounts and controls the account side (debit/credits).

For this, the following is assigned to every wage type which you have specified for individual statements and per-diem amounts in the trip expense types:

  • A validity period,
  • A symbolic account Expenses

    Note

    If the symbolic account Expenses symbolizes a G/L account that is managed in Accounting as an account without cost element, then you can set the Without CO receiver indicator for this account. All travel expense types that you assign to this symbolic account are transferred to Accounting without account assignment objects.

  • A symbolic account for offsetting entry

    Note

    If the symbolic account Offsetting entry symbolizes a customer or vendor account, a reconciliation account is specified for such accounts in the general ledger.

  • Possibly a 2nd symbolic account Clearing (especially for paid receipts)

    Note

    If the symbolic account Clearing stands for a G/L account that is managed as an account without cost element, you can set the without CO receiver indicator for this account. All trip expense types that are assigned to this symbolic account are transferred to Accounting without account assignment objects.

This procedure has the advantage that during a G/L account change, only the assignment of the symbolic account to the G/L account must be reset, and therefore the wage types (from Travel Accounting) remain independent of the G/L accounts in financial accounting.

The symbolic account is defined using a two-place alphanumeric key. A sign is used before this key and determines how a positive amount is to be posted to a G/L account. The signs have the following meanings:

Sign    Significance

+     positive amount is posted to debits of the G/L account

-     positive amount is posted to credits of the G/L account

Note

The assignment of symbolic accounts to the corresponding G/L accounts, clearing accounts or employee customer/vendor accounts is not specified until the IMG activity Change symbolic accounts to expense accounts.

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you set the end date of the validity period for the assignment of the wage types to the symbolic accounts to the date 12.31.9999, since

  • the end date cannot be changed later
  • in this way no restrictions are imposed on delimiting
