Which documents are generated after payroll results are posted to Financial Accounting?

The generation of an accounting document after payroll results are posted to Financial Accounting is a critical part of the SAP payroll process. When payroll is processed, the results, such as employee wages, taxes, and deductions, need to be reflected accurately in the financial statements of the organization.

The accounting document serves as the official record of these transactions in the financial accounting module. It consolidates data from the payroll process and updates the appropriate general ledger accounts, ensuring that financial reports reflect the true state of the company's payroll liabilities and expenses.

Documents like the remuneration document and controlling document serve different purposes; the remuneration document primarily details the payroll results for an employee, while the controlling document is associated with cost tracking and internal analysis. Delivery notes pertain to logistics and inventory, not finance, making them irrelevant in the context of payroll execution and its financial implications. Thus, the accounting document is specifically designed to capture and report the financial effects of payroll postings.
