Capturing Salaries as costs in projects

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

I have a situation where my major cost component is internal manpower cost eg. salary.

Now i want to post this cost to PS as cost monthly. We have not implemented payroll here.So how will I capture this cost. I have already tried assigning manpower cost at activity level (activity type in workcenters). But this is not very feasible solution, since I have to change activity type costs depending on manpower.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Sincerely,

try doing FI posting using FB01.FB50 by using appropriate G/L / Costelement. Mention WBS in Debit line item. They will be reflected as salaries in your reports.

To see them in Projects, define value category as salary and assign appropriate cost element.

As mentioned earlier you can use CATS also.

Thanks

Hi Sarang,

Thanx for the reply but the problem is not the how to this but the problem is coming as how we can calculate the salary of employees on hourly basis. as it depends on montht to months no. of working days keep on changing so per hour cost will also be changed . so i m not able to do KP26 in this case.

kindly suggest me on this part.

Hi Mani,

Normally, salaries will not be captured as actual cost in the project. If you are using capital investment project, check with your FI guys, salaries costs cannot be capitalised in some countries.

In most of the companies, salaries will be included in the activity price calculation with overheads.

Generally salaries are not captured in projects.But you can collect manpower cost using CATS confirmation. Whenever a person records time for a network activity then it comes as actual cost for the activity.

You can check out "Confirmation via Time sheet" in help.sap.com

Hi,

As i have mentioned earlier in my post, you need to include the salaries in the activity type costs calculation. This will be done by FICO consultants based on the input from the business users. Normally activity type rates will not reflect the actual salaries as they are confidential. So the markup and overheads will be added to the activity type rates. I have done like this in many of my projects.
