Now my questions are

1) Though i am getting Balance C as 0 - I am not getting the message - Error free. It is coming No Documents Created.

2) Is there any error in my process. Because i am posting all the wage types including Income Tax and Bank Transfer in expense account.

3) Every Expense account should have corresponding Balance Sheet a/c?

Appreciate any help on this.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Here in the case i am not trying to generate Document C or AB.
All that i want is to finish the Posting to Accounting and get the Message Error Free so that the Payroll process will be over.

I am looking the ways and means to achieve this with different permitation and combination.

To start with i am posting all the wages in expense account and testing it.

Appreciate any help on this.

regards

Answer:
Ragavang,

Your approach seems slightly strange. You really need to talk to the FI consultant to determine how each of the wage trpes are to be posted, rather than assigning all wage types to a single symbolic account.

However, if you want to identify the problem with your posting run, I suggest you click on the 'Document Overview' button; there should be some error messages in the payroll posting document. You will probably find that either the GL account does not exist or, since it is an expense account, the posting requires a cost centre.

Answer:
Hi

Thanks for the positive reply.

As you have mentioned, i am speaking to my Finance consultant on different wage types.

Parallely i am just testing Posting to Accounting with some minimim data and see how the system behaves. The idea is to get the feel of how the process is happening. I just want to post it successfully irrespective of the results. But i am not getting it.

The main thing is the Document is not getting created so that i could not see the error.

Please find below the message i am getting after the Posting run.

Posting to Accounting: Create Posting Run

That is why i got stuck and could not proceed further.
Hope you understand my position now.

Appreciate any help.

Have you looked at the error messages in the document? Despite the fact that no documents have been created you should be able to look at the payroll posting document.

Answer:
Hi

I am presenting my case in much better way.

Please find below the output log which i am getting while run Posting to Accounting.

As i said earlier i am Assigning Expense Account for all the Wage Types for the Testing purpose and see how the Posting is happening.

I heard that we should get 0 in the balance and then only it is fine. I am getting the Balance as 0 in yellow line. But it is coming no document created. I think i should get the message Error Free in the same place where i get No documents created.

Appreciate any help

Actually it is only 'S' and 'P' that generate documents. 'T' basically tests that the postings balance, which for this employee they do.

The created posting run contains no documents; Read the long text
Message no. 3G178

Diagnosis
The system did not find any information relevant to posting when evaluating payroll results for posting to Accounting. This may have several causes:

The evaluated payroll results correctly do not contain any wage types to be posted.
The evaluated payroll results are incorrect.
The specification of posting characteristics for wage types is incorrect.
System response
Although the posting run does not contain any payroll documents, the system has created an index for this posting run. The system will use this index in the case of a retroactive accounting run for the payroll results that were evaluated for this posting run. If the system has used this index because of a retroactive accounting run, you can no longer delete, reverse or repeat the posting run.

Procedure
Check if it is correct for the posting run not to contain any payroll documents. If this is not the case, delete the posting run in order to prevent the system from evaluating the posting run index in the case of a retroactive accounting run.

Request any help to do necessary changes and to run it.

Answer:
as usual, Rory is spot on, my mistake!

perhaps your error is being caused by your WT posting set up, the entries going to your expense accounts should be say 1000, the entries to your other balance sheet accounts should also be 1000, are you sure you are actually posting anything?

Hope i am nearing the completion and will complete if i solve the above errors.
Would be grateful if u could share your knowledge on solving the above errors.

Answer:
Doesn't look like you have a cost object for the employee assigned.

Does the employee have a cost centre on infotype 0001?
