Accounting policies in 1C 8.3: where to find and how to fill in with examples


Before you begin full-time work in the 1C 8.3 Accounting 3.0 program, you need to set up the accounting policy of the organization whose accounting you will be maintaining. In the case where the program keeps records of several organizations at once, it must be configured for each.

First, let's figure out where to find the accounting policy in 1C 8.3 Accounting. In the “Main” menu, select “Accounting Policy”. It is located in the “Settings” subsection.

Accounting policies in 1C 8.3 Accounting 3.0: where to find

Setting up UE in 1C is divided into several separate blocks:

  • Accounting - section Main - Settings - Accounting policies;
  • Tax accounting—section Main—Settings—Taxes and reports;
  • Payroll accounting - section Salaries and personnel - Directories and settings - Salary settings.

Not all elements of accounting policy can be set in 1C settings. Some of them are not implemented to work automatically.

Let's look at the basic settings by block.

Settings when entering a new organization

If you are just starting to keep records, then when entering data about the organization, the system will prompt you to indicate the type of activity (individual entrepreneur or legal entity), as well as determine the taxation system.

Setting up accounting policies in 1C 8.3: accounting

Fill in the accounting settings through the Main - Settings - Accounting Policies section.

Method for assessing MPZ

Select Inventory valuation method :

  • By average - disposal of inventories is carried out at a sliding cost, which at the end of the month is adjusted to the weighted average. Read more Average write-off of materials for general business needs;
  • According to FIFO , the disposal of inventories is accounted for in batches: the first one came, the first one left.

The method for assessing the inventory is set the same for BU and NU. The disposal of inventories at the cost of each unit is not implemented in 1C. When drawing up the UE, take these nuances into account.

Method for evaluating goods in retail

The assessment of goods in ATT and NTT is reflected:

  • At the cost of acquisition - goods are received at the warehouse at the cost of the supplier on account 41.02. The trade margin when they are disposed of is not reflected, and the cost of writing off goods is determined according to the Inventory valuation method .
  • At sales price - goods are received at the warehouse at the selling price on account 41.11 or 41.12. The trade margin is recorded on account 42.

In NU, retail goods are valued only at acquisition cost.

Cost accounting

The main cost accounting account is the account set by default in documents when purchasing services or works. More details Automatic substitution of cost accounts.

When conducting production activities, indicate the costs accounted for on account 20. This setting affects the automatic closure of account 20 by item groups (NG):

  • Product release - finished products are produced.

To close account 20 when releasing products, enter the document Production report for the shift . If there is no issue for NG, then account 20 for it will not be closed.

  • Performing work, providing services to customers - services or work are performed, regardless of whether the cost per unit of work/service is calculated or not. Costs field : Without taking into account revenue - costs are always recognized in the current period in full, unless work in progress is entered. When closing the month, the posting Dt 90.02 Kt 20 is generated, even if there was no sales on NG.

Direct costs for services, unlike work, can be taken into account entirely in the expenses of the reporting period: without distribution to the balances of work in progress (clause 2 of Article 318 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). When performing work with the selected option Without taking into account revenue for work in progress, do not forget to enter the document WIP Inventory .

  • Taking into account all revenue , costs are recognized in the current period only if sales are completed during the New Year. If there was no sale, account 20 will not be closed.
  • Taking into account revenue only from production services - costs are recognized in the current period only if the implementation of work/services is documented in the document Provision of production services . Otherwise, account 20 will not be closed, even there is revenue from the New Year, but it is documented in a different document: for example, a Sale (deed, invoice) .

An important setting is closing the “General business expenses” account. There should be no balance on it at the end of the month.

Close it:

  • to account 90.08 (direct costing);
  • to the account 90.02.

If you select In the cost of products, works, services , then the costs of the account are distributed according to certain rules specified in the link Methods for distributing indirect costs.

The Factory General Expenses account should not have a balance. If you use it in accounting, set it to Indirect Cost Allocation Methods .

Subaccounts of account 44 “Sales expenses” are closed to account 90.07 “Sales expenses”, so no distribution needs to be specified for them.

  • How to correctly decide on the accounting method for the trade of a small enterprise? Pitfalls of the direct costing method?

Calculation of production costs

Setting up the calculation of production costs regulates:

  • accounting for output at planned cost;
  • application of the account “Output of products (works, services)” to account for deviations from the planned cost;
  • sequence of cost calculation for the production of semi-finished products or auxiliary production services.

If you are a subscriber of the BukhExpert8 , then read additional material on the topic:

  • Production of products at planned prices
  • Release of products without planned prices

Cash accounting

If the checkbox is checked, all money movements are reflected using account 57, regardless of the duration of their movement.

Estimated values

If the checkbox is checked, it allows you to automatically create a reserve for doubtful debts in accounting using the routine operation Calculation of reserves for doubtful debts at the end of the month. If the box is not checked, then reserves are created manually: creating reserves in accounting is the responsibility of the taxpayer.

Reserves are automatically formed only if there is an overdue debt in rubles. The amount is determined as a percentage of the balance on DT accounts 62, 76.06 in the following order:

  • 50% if the delay is more than 45 days;
  • 100% if the delay is more than 90 days.

PBU 18

In the BU settings, you can enable the ability to use PBU 18 in accordance with:

  • the current edition of PBU 18/02: the calculation of differences is carried out in the regulatory operation Calculation of income tax using the cost method.
  • draft of the Ministry of Finance dated December 5, 2017:
      calculation of differences is carried out in the routine operation Calculation of deferred tax according to PBU 18/02 using the balance sheet method.
  • The choice of applying PBU 18 does not affect the calculation of income tax, but only affects the reflection of differences.

    OS accounting

    The 1C settings do not reflect the elements of the software for accounting for fixed assets in accounting. Learn in more detail how the UE for the OS is reflected in 1C.

    Calculation of production costs and accounting for other areas

    Calculation of production costs involves the use of options:

    1. the planned cost of production is used;
    2. the cost of semi-finished products is calculated;
    3. The cost of services is calculated by our own division.

    Checking the option for calculating the cost of semi-finished products reveals an additional choice of the sequence of production stages (processing stages):

    • automatically;
    • manually.

    In itself, calculating the cost of semi-finished products is convenient in such production, where a product - a part - is made from a material, say, a sheet of iron. On the one hand, this is a finished product, on the other hand, it can be used as a semi-finished product in the production of, for example, an engine.

    When choosing automatic determination of the sequence of production stages, it is necessary to configure the counter release of products (services). To do this, click on the hyperlink of the same name and click the “Create” button to configure the appropriate fields. In fact, the cost of the counter release should be excluded from the cost of the batches of products released before it.

    If marked “manually”, then the hyperlink should set the order of divisions for closing cost accounts.

    Similar settings are created and/or when choosing to calculate the cost of services by your own department.

    Tab "Accounts with personnel"

    The parameters set on this tab certainly apply to all organizations of the enterprise.

    Payroll accounting and personnel records.

    In this section, you must indicate in which program you plan to keep personnel records and perform payroll calculations.

    • In this program . Activation of this radio button indicates that payroll calculations and personnel accounting are planned to be performed in the 1C Accounting 8 program.
    • In an external program . Activation of this radio button indicates that payroll calculations and personnel accounting are planned to be performed in an external program. Usually this is a specialized program 1C Salary and personnel management 8.

    Activating the radio button “In an external program” will block all personnel and settlement documents in the 1C Accounting 8 program.
    That is, they cannot be used. This allows you to avoid calculation errors resulting from overlapping data from different programs. Analytical calculation with personnel.

    Settlements with personnel can be carried out collectively for all employees or separately for each employee.

    • For each employee . This radio button must be activated if personnel accounting and salary calculations are performed in the 1C Accounting 8 program. Otherwise, it will be impossible to generate those regulated reports that indicate information for each employee. For example, prepare data for transfer to the Pension Fund.
    • Summary for all employees . It is advisable to activate this radio button if personnel accounting and salary calculations are performed in an external program, for example, 1C Salary and personnel management 8.

    Activating the radio button “For each employee” adds the subaccount “Employees of organizations” to the following accounting accounts.

    • Account 70 “Settlements with personnel for wages”.
    • Account 76.04 “Settlements on deposited amounts.”
    • Account 97.01 “Payroll expenses for future periods.”

    On the contrary, activating the radio button “Summary for all employees” deletes the subaccount “Employees of organizations” on these accounts.
    Accountants often have a question about which analytics option to choose: “For each employee” or “Summary for all employees.” For calculations in the accounting program itself, everything is usually clear: only “For each employee.”

    But for calculations performed in an external program, there are options. And some accountants, without hesitation, choose the first option - “For each employee.” The following arguments are usually given in favor of such a decision.

    • Salary calculations must be carried out for each employee . Who can argue against this! But the accounting program does not need this information. All detailed calculations for employees are carried out in an external program, for example, 1C Salary and personnel management 8.
    • It is necessary to generate standard reports in an accounting program . Of course you can, but you shouldn’t kill your accounting program for the sake of it. The 1C Salary and Personnel Management 8 program has many specialized reports on personnel accounting and accruals. Moreover, such reports do not even exist in the accounting program.
    • It is necessary to prepare and generate regulated reports on payroll calculations . All regulated reports can be prepared in the 1C Salary and Personnel Management 8 program. If desired, the accountant can prepare some of these reports in the accounting program after a consolidated loading of data from the calculation program.
    • In the accounting program, you must have all the postings for accruals and deductions for each employee . For what?

    The following counterarguments can be given against the last argument.
    Let us recall that personnel accounting and payroll calculations in the 1C Salary and Personnel Management 8 program assumes that monthly calculation data is uploaded from this program to the 1C Accounting 8 program. Depending on the settings, they will be uploaded collectively or separately for each employee.

    Let's assume that employees only have a salary. For this case, the settlement program creates 7 accounting entries for each employee. This includes payroll and personal income tax and 5 entries for insurance premiums. This means that if there are 100 people in an organization, then 8,400 accounting entries need to be downloaded per year.

    And, if we add here sick leave, insurance payments, allowances, compensation, bonuses, etc. the number of uploaded transactions will increase even more.

    The question arises: why should an accounting program be loaded with unnecessary information every month? Swelling of the information base can lead to a significant decrease in the performance of the accounting program.

    Therefore, if there are no serious items to upload with detail by employee, we upload them in summary form. When preparing regulatory reports, if something doesn’t go well in terms of payroll calculations and insurance premiums, the accountant can easily determine where the ears are coming from. Gives instructions to the calculator. It finds errors, corrects them, and uploads the updated data back into the accounting program.

    Unfortunately, there are cases when it is impossible to do without detailed unloading. You can find out more about this in the article “Transferring salaries to banks in the 1C Salary and Personnel Management program 8: there is no salary project.”
