How the FI-HR integration works?
To link the symbolic accounts (from SAP HR) to GL accounts to ensure FI-HR integration. The FI-HR integration depends on the Symbolic GL Accounts. The flow is:
For every wage type you will have to assign the Sysmbolic account. The symbolic account will decide to which type of account (Expense Account, Balancesheet Account, Customer, Vendor) the postings will be made in Finance. In the Wage types Posting, you will define whether account will be debited or credited.
For each Symbolic account you will have to assign the GL account to which the postings in SAP FI has to be made. Symbolic Account act as a carrier between SAP FI & HR.
FI-HR Integration
Symbolic accounts are a way to bring together financial amounts from different sources that are all bound for the same General Ledger (G/L) account or accounts. Posting documents transfer liabilities and expenses from HR to FI. Symbolic accounts map wage types on the HR side to G/L account numbers on the FI side.
All the postings related to the wagetypes are posted to corresponding GL Accounts through symbolic account assignment. GL Accounts are created using FS00. Symbolic A/cs & GL A/cs mapping is to be done in OBYG transaction.
For FI-HR Integration first employee groupings will be done :
- EMP groupings like a) Employees b) Workers.this basic differentaition will be done becasue to post the FI entries like Salary account and Wages account.
- After employee groupings Symbolic Accounts will be defined.In this symbolic you differntiate whether the particular symbolic account is an expense or balance sheet account or vendor account or thrid party vendor account.
- Third step will be assigning symbolic accounts for wage types OH02 transaction
- At last you have to assign Gl accounts for symbolic accounts.
