3. Tasks description
3.1. I Separate the Chemplex/Herman Payroll Report from 6402
3.1.1. I Separate the Chemplex/Herman Payroll Report from 6402
After doing the 6402 payroll report (explained in another procedure), it needs to be separated in another file what is related to Chemplex costs, which are the cost center range 8938-2000 to 8938-3000.
Normally, the cost centers are:
8938-2000
8938-2001
8938-2003
8938-2006
8938-3000
To do that, filter in the payroll report file the column cost center everything in this range: 8938-2000 to 8938-3000.
Include in another file which template is Chemplex Payroll MM.YYYY Template and include in tab data.
*This file contains a password as the information in it is confidential.
Do the same for cost center 8938-6002 in another file using the same template because it refers to Herman cost center and it needs to be done separated. We need to deliver the information separated because in SAGE system the Chemplex and Herman are "separated" companies, but they are merged in BFC only.
3.1.2. I Understand the Template File
The template have different tabs:
- Tab Data
- used to allocate the data from payroll in its pure form;
- Tab Payroll
- There is a pivot table that shows the payroll values by account and cost center. The pivot table is set up as below:
- Tab Payroll Accrual
- There is a pivot table that shows the payroll accrual, which is reversed in the next month. It filters the account 98320102 (payroll) and 98320204 (fringe). The pivot table is set up as below:
- Tab Bonus
- There is a pivot table that shows the bonus accrual and the fringe on it. It filters the accounts 98320141 (bonus accrual non-cadre), 98320146 (bonus accrual Cadre) and 98320229 (fringe 15%). The pivot table is set up as below:
- tab Payroll Date
- There is a pivot table that shows the payroll by payroll date. It is only informative. The pivot table is set up as below:
- tab Bonus Details
- There is a pivot table that shows the bonus accrual for each employee. The pivot table is set up as below:
3.1.3. I Send the File to Chemplex/Herman Controller and CAM
Send it to Chemplex/Herman controller and CAM by email. The subject can be "Chemplex + Herman/Roanoke Payroll File Month YYYY".
3.2. I Prepare and Post the Journal Entry
3.2.1. I Prepare and Post the Journal Entry
Some values need to be transferred to Chemplex/Herman Loan account 57000400.
You can use the template JE 6402 - Chemplex Payroll Template and 6402 - Herman Payroll Template
*Make Sure to do it after the IAS19 cycle execution as it impact on the cycle. It is executed on D-2 by SUFAC team.
*Be careful with the values and posting key.
- JE Item 1 - Reclass payroll
To reclass the payroll, go to tab "Payroll" in the previous file and you need to transfer the value from the cost center to the trasury accounr 57000400.
It is better to zero by account + cost center in the P&L side and sum up by cost center in the 57000400 side.
To help on that, in column E, which is hidden, there is a formula to bring the correct posting key per line. It needs to be a debit 40 if the amount is negative and a credit 50 if the amount is positive.
In the below example, the values in the cost center 0249-3901 are being transferred to 57000400 account by account and onli one line as counter part in 57000400 with the text 0249-3901 (to identify it came from 0249-3901).
In addition, the Transaction type used in account 57000400 should be: F20 (increase) if it is a credit (posting key 50) and F30 (decrease) if it is a debit (posting key 40).
Do the same for the other cost centers. It can be done in the same item, but be careful to not mess the things up.
The justification can be the cost center range in WP1 in transaction KSB1, and filter the document header text with "PP*" to get everything that comes directly from payroll.
After the posting, check the cost centers and check if the PP* documents + your entry is netting to zero.
- JE Item 2 - Reclass Chemplex Payroll Bonus Accrual from balance sheet
The values form item number 2 can be found in tab "Bonus".
Be careful, because the accounts showing in the tab Bonus is the P&L part. It has been reclass in the previous item. So, we need to reclass the balance sheet part as below:
account 98320141 its counterpart in the balance sheet is 42900503 (bonus non-cadre)
account 98320146 its counterpart in the balance sheet is 42900504 (bonus cadre)
account 98320229 its counterpart in the balance sheet is 43900414 (fringe on bonus 15%)
Below is the example how the journal entry needs to be prepared. Notice that to zero the balance sheet accounts, it needs to be posted a debit (40) on them, because the original document is posted as a credit (50).
In addition, the Transaction type used in account 57000400 should be: F20 (increase) if it is a credit (posting key 50) and F30 (decrease) if it is a debit (posting key 40).
The justification can be the pivot table in tab "Bonus".
- JE Item 3 - Reclass the Payroll accrual and its reversal from previous month.
The values form item number 3 can be found in tab "Payroll Accrual".
Be careful, because the accounts showing in the tab Payroll Accrual is the P&L part. It has been reclass in the previous item. So, we need to reclass the balance sheet part as below:
account 98320102 its counterpart in the balance sheet is 42900110 (payroll accrual)
account 98320204 its counterpart in the balance sheet is 43900202 (fringe on payroll accrual)
Below is the example how the journal entry needs to be prepared. Notice that it is being posted the previous month reversal accrual first and after is the accrual for the month, so pay attention in the posting keys.
In addition, the Transaction type used in account 57000400 should be: F20 (increase) if it is a credit (posting key 50) and F30 (decrease) if it is a debit (posting key 40).
The justification can be the pivot table in tab "Payroll Accrual":
After preparing it, post it by the applicable tool.
After posting it, check the posting in SAP to guarantee everything was correctly posted.
