3.1. Responsibilities
Responsibility of Finance operations:
- Perform the split and the posting of debit notes;
- Check the posting consistency.
3.2. Background
The posting of pension fund debit notes has to be performed on a monthly basis, after the reception of 2 files : Cadres and EEO by TOWA (HRO-Benefits BE sents in general around 20th of the next month).
- TOWA send the file with the amounts concerning pension funds to Cy 0001.
- Then, Cy 0001 will re-invoice the pension funds to the other companies.
- Re-invoice will be divided in several postings according:
The nature of employees: Cadres or EO.
The cost center allocated.
- For CADRES, the posting of debit notes generates:
A debit of account 6220033200 (Pension fund-managers)
A credit of account 2456003251 (Pension fund-managers, employer allowance).
- For EEO, the posting of debit notes generates:
A debit of account 6220030300 (Pension fund-employees)
A credit of account 2456003253 (Pension fund- employees).
Remark
- For re-invoicing costs from 0001 to Cies out of ERP, we will debit the account 7050010000 instead of account 622*.
- For these allocations, we use the account 705001000 and the respective wbs (see template).
- A profit account is used in order to not mix costs of company 0001 with costs incurred for others (and maybe show those as profit for reporting purposes).
