3.1.9.3 Assignment of Wage Type to Symbolic Account
UseTravel Management enables you to structure the interface to Financial Accounting flexibly using the so-called initial account assignment. The initial account assignment determines the posting accounts and controls the accounts side (debits/credits).
For this process, you assign the following data to each wage type that you assigned in the travel expense types for individual receipts and per diems: A symbolic account ‘expenses’, a symbolic account for offsetting entry, and if necessary, a second symbolic account ‘clearing’ (especially in the case of paid receipts).
Since the standard wage type MJ63 has been assigned to the additional travel expense type MTBZ, and there is already a suitable symbolic account for this wage type in the standard system, it is not necessary to make any new entries here.
PrerequisitesThe appropriate wage types have been assigned to the travel expense types.
Procedure1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
Transaction code SPRO

3.1.10.2 Assigning Substitute Cost Center
UseIn the dialog for travel expense data entry, you can enter a cost assignment specification for trips, stopovers or receipts. At present, only cost centers should be entered as additional account assignment objects.
The transfer report enables you to substitute non-postable CO objects with the cost center that is currently valid in Travel Privileges (info type 0017). If this cost center is not postable either, the system substitutes the original CO object with a substitute cost center from table TKA3G. The system documents all substitutions in the trip transfer documents in the posting run. That means that you can reassign these substitutions manually at a later stage.
To ensure that a warning and not an error message is issued when the account assignment is checked, the cost center 1104 has been defined in table TKA3G. When you create the posting run, ensure the Replace incorrect CO object field is active.
PrerequisitesCost centers have been created (BB30_CostProfitCenter).
