This document is useful for calculating salaries and is designed to handle allocations based on cost objects, which are typically not done in standard practice. For instance, if the cost object is a project, you can break down the expenses by that project. Generally, payroll calculations are managed by the payroll department without considering specific projects or cost objects.
In cases where amounts like depreciation or electricity are calculated, they can be initially recorded as WIP (Work in Progress) and then allocated to cost objects at a later stage. This process has been developed to facilitate such allocations.
You can find this document under the accounting section, where it supports various types of transaction allocations, including labor costs, depreciation, and other expenses.
Example of Salary Allocation:
To use the document for salary allocation:
- Create a new document titled "WIP Allocation by Cost Object."
- Navigate to the second tab.
- Select the basis document, which is the payroll calculation document.
