3.1.1.5 Accounting

3.1.1.5.1 Assigning Wage Types to Travel Expense Types for Indiv. Receipt

UseThe results from Travel Expenses are recorded on the basis of wage types in the table ROT. This means that you must record a wage type for the tax-exempt part of the settlement amount for each travel expense type.In the case of travel expense types for per diems, you must record a wage type for both the tax-exempt and taxable part (additional amounts).

The relevant input tax indicators are determined by the turnover tax law. The standard settings correspond to current terms and conditions.

The travel expense type MTBZ (car rental, paid) differs from the standard and has been assigned the SAP standard wage type MJ63 (Trip trav.costs comp.paid).

PrerequisitesTravel expense types have been created.

3.1.1.5.2 Assignment of Wage Type to Symbolic Account

UseTravel Management enables you to structure the interface to Financial Accounting flexibly using the so-called initial account assignment. The initial account assignment determines the posting accounts and controls the accounts side (debits/credits).

For this process, you assign the following data to each wage type that you assigned in the travel expense types for individual receipts and per diems: A symbolic account ‘expenses’, a symbolic account for offsetting entry, and if necessary, a second symbolic account ‘clearing’ (especially in the case of paid receipts).

Since the standard wage type MJ30 has been assigned to the additional travel expense type MTWG, and there is already a suitable symbolic account for this wage type in the standard system, it is not necessary to make any new entries here.

PrerequisitesThe appropriate wage types have been assigned to the travel expense types.

Procedure1. Access the activity using the following navigation options:

UseThe incurred trip costs are posted to different expense accounts, dependent on their travel expense type. The standard chart of accounts is BPIN.

The offsetting entry is made in the employee’s customer/vendor account that is linked to their personnel number. No provision is made for posting to clearing accounts.

The travel expense type MTBZ (car rental, paid) differs from the standard. It has been assigned using the symbolic account 130 to the following expense account: Trip costs – transport and airfare (recpts/flat rate).

PrerequisitesThe appropriate G/L accounts have been created in the standard chart of accounts BPIN (U06_Core_FI).

3.1.1.5.4 Assigning Substitute Cost Center

UseIn the dialog for travel expense data entry, you can enter a cost assignment specification for trips, stopovers or receipts. At present, only cost centers should be entered as additional account assignment objects.

The transfer report enables you to substitute non-postable CO objects with the cost center that is currently valid in Travel Privileges (infotype 0017). If this cost center is not postable either, the system substitutes the original CO object with a substitute cost center from table TKA3G. The system documents all substitutions in the trip transfer documents in the posting run. This means you can reassign these substitutions manually at a later stage.

To ensure that a warning and not an error message is issued when the account assignment is checked, the cost center 1104 has been defined in table TKA3G. When you create the posting run, ensure the Replace incorrect CO object field is active.

PrerequisitesCost centers have been created (Building block N71: Central Cost Center Accounting).
