Is Cost Assignment possible for Benefits (infotype 0167, 0169, etc.)? Our requirement is to post the expense in the employee's home company and post the liability on the Balance Sheet of the parent company. So, we need to be able to allocate the cost and automatically create the intercompany piece. For example: For example: Company A = Parent Company Company B = Subsidiary Company EE works for Company B and is enrolled in Medical Plan. Payroll runs, premium is deducted from employee's gross and ER portion is calculated. Current situation - both expense and liability are posted to Company B. Desired outcome - expense posted to Company B and Liability posted to Company A, with appropriate intercompany postings for balancing. Based on my own research, the only infotypes that allow for cost allocation are 0014, 0015, and time management infotypes. From what I can tell, IT 0027 only allows you to distribute wages/salary and travel expenses, unless I'm missing something. And New G/L will allow you to make benefits follow the cost assignment of wages, but in our case, the wages will stay with the subsidiary company and is only the liability associated with the benefits that needs to post to the parent company. Do you know of a reason that SAP would not allow this? Also, is there any way to substitue the parent company code during the posting using substituation? We tried this, but could not get the posting to change the company code despite configuring a substitution rules to do so. If I can clarify the scernario in anyway, please let me know. Thanks in advance. Chantel | | Reply to this email to post your response. __.____._ | _.____.__ |
