+ : Amounts from wage types stored in the payroll result as a positive amount are posted as debits. Wage types stored as negative amounts are posted as credits.


- : Amounts from wage types stored in the payroll result as a positive amount are posted as credits. Wage types stored as negative amounts are posted as debits.

Special processing of posting items

Title

Processing type of a wage type
Definition

Assigns the posting characteristics of a wage type to the following business processes:

• Posting of payroll results

• Posting of month end accruals

• Providing personnel cost data for Cost Planning

Use

Posting payroll results to Accounting and Cost Planning are similar business processes and as such they use common settings in Customizing. These settings also include the posting characteristics of a wage type.


It is always advisable to transfer the posting characteristics of a wage type, that are valid for posting to Accounting, to Cost Planning. This is the standard setting. Therefore, if you do not assign a processing type to a wage type, your posting characteristics are valid for posting to Accounting and Cost Planning.


However, with certain wage types, you may want to define posting characteristics for posting to Accounting separately to those for Cost Planning. There are special processing types that are available for this procedure.


Postings for month end accruals are clearing postings that are only relevant in certain Payroll country versions. By entering the relevant processing type you can assign the posting characteristics of a wage type to posting for month end accruals. These posting characteristics are not valid for Cost Planning because the system handles posting for month end accruals in Cost Planning separately.
