FI-HR Integration (Postings from HR-FI)Assumption: New GL is used. Document splitting is in place and profit center is made mandatory.

Solution: 1. Default profit center for each GL account. It can be done by the customizing below Assign Default Profit Center to Accounts.

2. If this is not relevant, substitution can be used. If there is no profit center that can be defaulted for each balance sheet / revenue accounts, then there is some customizing that can be done in Payroll International Customizing, as per below:

Define Type of Distribution. Set it to 1. Zero is the current /standard / default setting in SAP. Since zero setting is not working, we need to set it to 1. Distribution #2 is currently not available in Malaysia as of now, April 2008. Please refer to SAP note 1039346 for more information on the Type of Distribution.

SPRO: Payroll> Payroll International > Reporting for Posting Payroll Results to Accounting > NewGL: Distribution of Liabilities According to Expenses > Central Settings > Define Type of Distribution

a) Enter country grouping: 14 for Malaysia.

b) Set distribution to 1 (Distribution of Liabilities According to Infotype 1)

(Explanation for next print screen below) c) Ensure that Account Assignment Type for balance sheet and revenue accounts are set to FC(new GL balance sheet) instead of F (balance sheet).

SPRO: Payroll> Payroll International > Reporting for Posting Payroll Results to Accounting > Activities in the HR System > Employee Grouping and Symbolic Accounts > Define Symbolic Accounts

*Speculate that since only cost center is stored in the employee master data, by setting the account assignment type to FC, the profit center is derived from the cost center master data.
