You are the HR Administrator for the Caliber A Bicycle Company, which sells bicycles and bicycle accessories. You now want to get familiar with Payroll in the SAP system.

You expect the payroll system to perform an accurate and up-to-date payroll run. It is also essential that changes, for example, overtime payments or wage and salary increases, can be easily corrected.

RoleRole

The Workplace is the user's portal from which they have access to their role-specific user menu and to MiniApps. To start the Workplace, enter your website address in your browser. If you do not use any Workplace, set up your roles in the R/3 system. The Workplace consists of three main elements: The Channel Bar, in which you can have several applications running in parallel, the Launch Pad, where you find the role-specific user menu, and the WorkSpace.

Roles are groups of activities which enable the user to participate in one or several business scenarios. Aceess to the transactions, reports and web-based applications contained in the roles takes place via user menus. User menus should only contain the functions that are typical for the daily work of a specific user.

Composite Roles, on the other hand, contain several single roles. The composite roles for Payroll contain both international single roles and all available country-specific single roles. However, this does not mean that the Payroll Process Administrator in the USA, for example, finds activities in their menu that are typical for Canada or Australia and which they therefore do not require. This is because when you generate the menu for a composite role, you specify the country for which you want to do this. The composite roles are delivered with the mySAP.com Workplace.

Payroll

Broadly speaking, payroll is used to calculate remuneration for work performed by individual employees. More specifically, payroll is an umbrella term for a variety of work processes, such as the creation of payroll results and remuneration statements, bank transfers, and payments by check. The phrase also covers a number of subsequent activities such as the posting of results to Accounting and other evaluations, for example, for taxes.

Calculation ofwage elements

Statutory and voluntarydeductions

Overview of the Payroll Process

Remuneration

Remuneration is calculated in two main steps: Calculation of wage elements Statutory and voluntary deductions (which are country-specific)

Wage elements, statutory deductions, and voluntary deductions are all based on the individual payments and deductions that are calculated for an employee during a payroll period. The payments and deductions are stored as wage types and then included in the payroll calculation.

Calculation of Wage Elements

An employee's wage elements are determined on the basis of the individual wage types used in a payroll period. Payments that may be included in the calculation of remuneration are, for example, basic pay, bonuses, vacation allowances, Christmas bonuses, and gratuities. Company-owned apartments, company-sponsored day care services and the like can all cause deductions from an employee's pay. Such payments and deductions can increase or reduce the amount of an employee's income that is subject to tax, and this is determined by a variety of factors such as the laws of a specific country or a particular company's policies.

The wage types can be entered online or generated during the payroll run using rule tables.

Statutory and Voluntary Deductions

To determine the payment amount, statutory and voluntary deductions, such as taxes and social insurance contributions, are effected. The deductions are calculated on the basis of gross values, such as the total gross amount and the gross tax amount. For this reason, various amounts are calculated during the payroll run which are then used for subsequent processing.

Storing HR Master Data Using Exact Dates

The R/3 System assigns a start date and an end date to HR master data, as well as a large number of Customizing table entries. The payroll program requires these dates so that it can perform calculations for specific days, and retroactive accounting for previous periods.

The system automatically recognizes changes to payment infotypes and triggers retroactive accounting, for example, after a salary change.

Because of automatic retroactive accounting recognition, the R/3 System does not allow you to change the payroll results manually.

Retroactive Accounting

Changesto

HR master data

CCE

Payroll forperiod 06

is completePayroll past

Retroactive accounting for previous periods, then the current period

Period 04 Period 05 Period 06 Period 07Period 03

You have completed the payroll run for this period. However, if you then change HR master data in a period for which the payroll has already been run, the payroll must be run once again for this period using the current values. This is known as retroactive accounting.

All of the periods for which you have completed and exited payroll constitute the payroll past. If you maintain an infotype that is relevant to retroactive accounting, the Earliest MD Change Field in the Payroll Status infotype (0003) is set to the start date of the changed infotype. This ensures that retroactive accounting is automatically triggered up to this retroactive accounting date when the next payroll run is performed.

The system automatically performs a retroactive accounting run if certain types of master data or time data are changed in the payroll past. To ensure that retroactive accounting is only triggered for certain changes, rather than for all changes, the system determines whether the changes are relevant to retroactive accounting or not. Therefore, changes only trigger a retroactive accounting run if they require a correction of the payroll results. Retroactive accounting relevance can be defined for an infotype or an infotype field.


(C) SAP AG HR390 2-13

© SAP AG 1999

An employee's total remuneration consists of individual remuneration elements such as basic pay, overtime and bonuses.

Various deductions, both statutory and voluntary, are used to calculate an employee's net remuneration.

Delimiting the date enables the system to perform retroactive accounting.

During an employee's employment relationship a series of events take place. These can be relevant to remuneration. If these events occur in the payroll past, they trigger retroactive accounting.

If an employee leaves your enterprise you should not delimit information regarding their remuneration and bank details immediately, as you may need this information in the event of a retroactive accounting salary change.

When an employee rejoins the company they are given their old personnel number again so that it is possible to have the employee's complete history.

A hiring action consists of a series of different infotypes. Some of these infotypes, such as the ones listed on the left-hand side of the graphic, are the same for all countries. Furthermore, each country is assigned infotypes that are country-specific. They enable you to enter tax data, for example.

If you set your user parameters for a particular country, such as 01 for Germany or 10 for the USA, the system accesses the correct personnel actions, which include all of the relevant country-specific infotypes.

Ref. (2) Organizational Reassignment

Organizational assignmentand work center data- Payroll area- Working time- Payment- Cost center .........

Employee data can be changed in any payroll period. Such changes may be concerned with transfers, substitutions, increases or decreases in basic pay, or simply corrections. New data is either created or copied, while corrections are made by changing existing data. Sometimes, the data must be entered in a series of infotypes. At other times, you are only required to access a single infotype.

Do not forget that changes made to infotypes that are relevant to payroll, in periods for which the payroll has already run, automatically trigger retroactive accounting.

Ref. (3) Deviations from the Work Schedule

Departures from the work schedule usually constitute the largest share of tasks that are periodically performed in a Human Resources department.

In the system itself, such departures take the form of time data, such as hours or days, or remuneration data. To ensure that the correct amount of time in lieu and overtime payments are available, it is important that they are entered in the system at the right time.

The following infotypes are used to enter data that does not adhere to the work schedule: Absences - 2001: Used to enter employee absences. Attendances - 2002: Used to enter employee attendances. Substitutions - 2003: Used to enter substitutions, such as when an employee works a different shift. Availability - 2004: Used, for example, to enter times at which an employee is available for duty in addition to his or her regular shift. Overtime - 2005: Used to enter start times and end times for additional working hours. The system automatically generates wage types in accordance with rules that can be specified in Customizing. EE Remuneration Information - 2010: Used, for example, to enter overtime manually. Monthly Calendar - 2051: Used to enter attendances and absences in a monthly overview screen. Weekly Calendar -2052: Used to enter attendances and absences in a weekly overview screen.

Methods of Entering Time Data

Fast data entry enables you to create and maintain the same infotype record for more than one employee at the same time. This means that you do not have to enter a separate record for each individual employee, and that a single screen enables you to enter the data for more than one employee simultaneously. This results in faster, more efficient data processing. All of the various types of processing (creating, changing, copying, deleting, and locking/unlocking) are available.

There are four different ways of selecting the personnel numbers to be processed: You can enter the personnel numbers directly in the fast entry screen You can list the personnel numbers yourself before maintaining the fast entry screen You can use a report to list the personnel numbers on the basis of specific search criteria You can choose your own selection criteria using the Ad Hoc Query

Payroll runs are carried out at different times(for example, at the beginning of the month) and with different periodicity (for example, monthly).

Payroll consists of different phases which take place one after the other.

This is controlled by payroll areas and payroll control records, which you set up in Customizing.

You must make some basic settings in Customizing to be able to run payroll in the SAP System. A period parameter and a date modifier are assigned to each payroll area. The period parameter

determines whether payroll is run monthly, bi-monthly, weekly or for several weeks. Each period parameter used is assigned to a time unit. The values for the time units are defined (monthly, semi-monthly, weekly, bi-weekly, every four weeks, and annually.)

Payroll periods must be generated for each combination of period parameters and date modifiers assigned to a payroll area. All periods within the specified time interval are defined based on the period parameter. The start date and end date for each period is defined and the payday is calculated using a rule entered as a parameter. The payroll year and period define the exact dates for the payroll period.

You must create a control record for every payroll area. This control record controls the individual stages of payroll.

Payroll Areas

The SAP HR System uses payroll areas to group together employees for whom payroll is run at the same time, and also to set the dates for the payroll period. Employees from different employee subgroups can belong to the same payroll area.

For example, an organization may pay employees on a monthly and weekly basis so at least one monthly and one weekly payroll area must be created. You must also create payroll areas if you want to run payroll for employees at different times.

The payroll area is used as a selection criterion for many payroll processes. For example, for the payroll run, the remuneration statement, and evaluation reports for the payroll run.

If you want to select fewer employees for a payroll run or other evaluations, you can also use additional selection criteria, for example, the cost center, or employee subgroup. (However, such a selection is only suitable for test and simulation purposes, as the payroll control record is not taken into account).

Feature ABKRS delivers a default value for the 'Payroll Area' field in infotype 0001(Organizational Assignment).

Payroll Periods

A payroll period determines the period for which a payroll result is created. The length of payroll periods can differ, for example, a payroll period can be a month, a week, or fourteen days.

The exact start date and end date of the periods must be defined for the payroll areas. This data is generated automatically when the program is started. This is explained in the following slides.

Linking additional date types with a payroll calendar

Payroll periods are linked to the time units using the 'Generate Payroll Periods' step in the Implementation Guide (IMG). You also specify how paydays are defined and enter the start date of the tax year.

In addition to the start and end date for a period and the pay date, it is also possible to define a date modifier as an additional payroll date. This modifier links the additional date types with a payroll calendar. In addition to the date specifications for the standard payroll interval, you can also create additional date specifications for each period in the payroll calendar. These additional date specifications can be used, for example, to store the pay date.

This example shows the generation of payroll periods for a monthly period modifier. In this case the period start and end dates correspond to the start and end date for a calendar month. Using these settings you generate payroll periods for 24 months (start date until the end year).

Caution: The input screen for the report changes dynamically according to the country grouping.

Calculation of the payday for the period

Payday rule / Number of days: These two fields determine how the period payday is calculated. The following values can be used for the payday rule: 1 : The number of days is added to the start date of the period to calculate the payday. 2 : The number of days is deducted from the end date of the period. 3 : The number of days is added to the end date of the period. 4 : Only applies to monthly periods, the number is used as the exact date.

Determine period number: In this field you define which date of the payroll period the system uses to determine the period number. The system uses the period number in the payroll control record to increse the payroll periods sequentially for a year. With every new tax year the period number is reset to one.

In this example, the employee is paid each Thursday for the preceeding week (Start date 01.07.2001: Sunday-Saturday period). Reason: The payday rule 3 says that the number of days (5) is added to the end date of the period.

Cumulation type, for example:

M = MonthlyQ = QuarterlyX = Six-monthlyY = AnnuallyU = Unlimited

Generating the Calendar for Cumulations

In some countries, the calendar is used for reporting purposes. During payroll, some wage types are cumulated over several periods to create monthly, quarterly, or annual totals. By generating the calendar, each payroll period is assigned to a particular quarter, half-year, or year.

The calendar must be generated for each combination of period parameters and date modifiers assigned to a payroll area.

A parameter in the selection screen determines the date in the payroll period (start date, end date, or payday date) on which this assignment is based.

You generate this cumulation calendar for several years in advance using a Customizing report.

Date until which payroll has taken place for an employee

Each employee has an individual payroll status. The necessary data is stored in the Payroll Status infotype (0003). This infotype is created automatically as part of the hiring action and is automatically maintained for each payroll period. You will rarely need to make changes to master data. Occasionally, however, you may need to enter employee-specific information relating to Payroll or Time Management, so it is possible to change particular fields in the Payroll Status infotype manually. The payroll driver enters the end date of the last completed payroll period in the Accounted to field. If master data is changed, the system enters the appropriate date in the Earliest MD Change field. This date is deleted after each completed payroll run.

The Earliest MD Change Bonus field (Earliest Master Data Change Bonus) is filled with a date when master data is edited, and this date is deleted during bonus accounting and unauthorized manual checks (NAMC, only for the USA). In this way the payroll system can perform retroactive accounting optimally in connection with bonus accounting. This field is used in a similar way to the Earliest MD Change field (Earliest Master Data Change).

The payroll driver flags the Payroll Correction field if a personnel number has been rejected, or you have entered data during the correction phase of the payroll run. The employee is entered in the correction run with this indicator and if payroll is subsequently completed successfully, the indicator is removed. If changes are made in Customizing, the "Payroll Correction" indicator is not set. (For example, a pay scale table change).

Account to: Day up to which payroll is run for an employee, even if the employee leaves the company. The date must lie in an interval in which the employee is not actively employeed. For example, if an employee has left the company and should still continue to be paid after the leaving date. If you are dealing with payments during a time when the employee is actively employeed, you do not have to enter a date in this field. This is because such payments are triggered automatically during retroactive accounting.

Do not account after: You can enter a date after which payroll will no longer be performed for an employee. The subsequent day must lie in a non-active period.

Payroll runs are performed using the payroll area to which the employees are assigned who are remunerated at the same time.

A payroll control record must be created for every payroll area. This control record controls the individual stages of payroll.

The payroll control record and the payroll status infotype are relevant for retroactive accounting.

Unit: Organizing a Live Payroll Run Topic: Setting up a New Payroll Area

• Create a new payroll area

• Create a control record for the new payroll area

• Check the payroll periods

The Caliber "A" Bicycle Company has decided to set up payroll areas for your new employee to be paid on a monthly basis. You are in charge of establishing the foundations in Customizing in the SAP system, to support the payroll process for these employees.

1. Create the payroll area ## (## corresponds to your group number) in Customizing with a monthly period parameter. Use the payroll area X0 as a model copy. Enter Gr.## monthly as the payroll area text.

2. Create the payroll control record for your new payroll area ##. Maintain the Payroll Period and the Earliest Retroactive Accounting Period so that they start at the beginning of the last period of the previous year. In this way, the first period for which you run payroll is period 01 of this year.

3. Check, in the system, the period for which payroll periods are already generated for the monthly period parameter 01. Generate, in Test Mode, payroll periods for the period parameter for next year.

4. Now assign two employees to the payroll area ##:

Use master data maintenance to change the payroll area to ## for the employee with personnel number 390## that you set up in the last unit. To do this, change the Organizational Assignment infotype as of the hire date of your employee. Check also that the employee with personnel number 390991##, who is already hired, is also assigned to your payroll area ##.

Simulating a payroll run enables you to display and print the remuneration statement.

The payroll area is used to determine the payroll period with exact dates as well as to select personnel numbers. For this reason you have to enter the payroll area in both the Payroll Period and Selection sections.

Prerequisite: The personnel control record must be maintained.

Advantage: When a live payroll is run, you are not required to enter the payroll period. Instead, the system uses the payroll area and the control record to determine the payroll period automatically.

Alternatively, you can enter a different payroll period (for a simulation run).

Forced retro. accounting as of 01.01.1999

You must make an entry in the "Forced retroactive accounting as of" field if a retroactive run is to be carried out that will not be automatically recognized by the system (for example, changes in Customizing tables).

The "payroll schema" describes the sequence and the contents of a program procedure. It consists of a list of statements and links to subschemas and functions, which are described in more detail using parameters. The program processes the specified personnel calculation schema step for step, that is, sequentially.

If the "test run" flag is set, no changes are made to the database. That is, the function UPD YES is overridden. This also affects the newly-generated schema. This flag must be set during a payroll simulation run. It must not be set during a regular payroll run.

Remun. Statement

Remuneration Statement

The SAP System enables you to create remuneration statements for your employees. A remuneration statement contains a clear list of payments and deductions effected during a payroll run for an employee.

The remuneration statement is usually created after the payroll run, but before payment is effected. If you perform more than one payroll run in a period, you can create remuneration statements after each payroll run. If corrections are made, original documents are overwritten.

Customizing enables you to determine the format, structure, and content of the forms you want to use. The SAP standard system also enables you to create personal or general notifications for your employees that are printed on the remuneration statement as additional information. They can be standard texts, such as general information from management or birthday greetings. You enter any additional information in the Notifications infotype (0128). The course HR7XX (XX corresponds to the country grouping) provides you with more detailed information on this topic.

The SAP System enables you to create payroll accounts for your employees. A payroll account contains tables of payroll data for one or more employees for one or more periods. Just like the payroll form, the payroll account is created on the basis of the existing payroll results. This means that you can create the payroll account at any time and as often as required. A payroll account is usually created at the end of the year. However, it is also possible to create a payroll account for each payroll period.

The report used to create payroll accounts enables you to view detailed information on payroll results, and to access a remuneration statement directly from the payroll account display screen. By double-clicking on the payroll results for a period, you access the corresponding remuneration statement. The payroll account is created by choosing the menu path Human Resources> Payroll> Your Country> Information System> Employee> Payroll Account.

The SAP System also enables you to create a payroll journal for your employees. A payroll journal contains the payroll data for several employees for one period. A payroll journal is usually created at the end of a period. The payroll journal is created by choosing the menu path Human Resources> Payroll> Your Country> Information System> Organizational Entity> Payroll Journal.

Wage Type Evaluations

The wage type statement enables you to cumulate and sort wage types from payroll results according to various organizational criteria. The evaluation shows the current wage type values (number and amount) for a specific period. The RT and CRT results tables can be used in the wage type statement for the relevant payroll results. This can be found in the SAP menu under Human Resources> Payroll> Your Country> Information System> Wage Type> Wage Type Statement.

The standard display does not use a form and can therefore not be changed in Customizing. However, it is possible to use a customer-specific form to display cumulation statements. To do this, you must specify the form name in the relevant parameter. By specifying a reference period, you can display absolute and relative differences between two payroll periods.

You can evaluate wage types for more than one period using the wage type distribution, that is, you can display the progression of individual or several wage types over several periods. You can also cumulate and sort wage types according to various organizational criteria. This can be found in the SAP menu under Human Resources> Payroll> Your Country> Information System> Wage Type> Wage Type Distribution.

The wage type reporter is a flexible tool for wage type evaluation. In the future, it will replace the wage type statement and the wage type distribution. You can display wage types for a specific period with in-period or for-period views. The evaluation can be formatted using the list viewer and exported to an Excel file. This can be found in the SAP menu under Human Resources> Payroll> Your Country> Information System> Wage Type> Wage Type Reporter.

HR reporting tools, such as the Ad Hoc Query and SAP Query, enable you to perform simple evaluations for selected payroll results. By configuring an infotype in Customizing, you can access payroll results for employees. Apart form payroll infotypes that are valid internationally (for example, Payroll Results infotype 0402) there are other infotypes that are country-specific.

The infotypes have four fixed fields: Country Grouping, Payroll Area, Currency, and For-period. You can use Customizing to define all other fields.

To set up the payroll infotypes, carry out the steps in Customizing under Personnel Management -> Human Resources -> Information System -> Payroll Results: Define Evaluation Wage Types: In this step, you define codes and names for evaluation wage types and determine which fields (amount, number) are created with this evaluation wage type when a payroll infotype is generated.

Assign Wage Types: You specify evaluation wage types by assigning them one or more wage types from the payroll results. Moreover, you define a country grouping (cluster table RT for periodic wage types and cluster table CRT for cumulation wage types).

Set up Payroll Infotypes: To set up payroll infotypes, you specify a code for the payroll infotype, assign evaluation wage types to the infotype, and generate and activate the infotype.

Set up Assignment to Payroll: You then specify the payroll infotypes to which data is written automatically when the payroll is run. If data is not written automatically to a payroll infotype, you can use report RPABRI00 (Fill Payroll Infotypes) to provide it with data.

Overview - Posting to Accounting

Posting payroll results to Accounting is one of the subsequent activities performed after a successful payroll run. It usually takes place once each payroll period. When the results are posted to Accounting, all posting information is selected from the payroll results, summarized, formatted, and posted to the integrated accounting component.

The Financial Accounting department is interested in the flow of payments. The payments are posted according to the type or identity of payee, and due date of the payment. Financial Accounting also provides an overview of resource allocation within the enterprise.

The Cost Accounting department is interested in the classification of costs according to type (cost type = G/L account) and the assignment to cost centers or other account assignment objects (additional account assignment).

Posting Information in the Payroll Results

Each employee's payroll result contains different wage types that are relevant to Accounting: Wage types such as standard salary, bonuses, and overtime represent expenses for the company, which are posted to a corresponding expense account.

Wage types such as bank transfer, transfer of capital formation savings payment, employment tax, employee's contribution to social insurance, and so on, are the employer's payables to the employee, the tax office, and so on, and are posted as credits to a corresponding payables account.

In addition, there are wage types such as the employer's health insurance contribution, which represents an expense for the enterprise and, at the same time, a payable to the social insurance agency. For this reason, such wage types are posted to two accounts: once debited as an expense, and once credited as a payable.

Posting Environment

You have learned that a lot of information is relevant to Payroll. You can differentiate between posting wage types (for example, production wages, salaries, bank transfers, and so on) their cost assignments and cost center assignment information.

After you have run payroll, you can post the results to Accounting. This process is completed with the posting to Financial Accounting (FI) and reworking in Cost Center Accounting (CO).

A posting run can be performed as A test run without documents (T) A simulation run with simulation documents (S) A productive run (P)

In a simulation and productive run, the system checks all HR and AC tables and the posting information in master data to determine whether they exist and whether they are consistent.

In a test run, the system checks only whether the balance of expenses and payables is zero, as it should be.

When you choose Execute Run for a productive run, the system performs the following steps: It creates a posting run It evaluates the payroll results It creates payroll documents It flags the payroll results of the evaluated employees It generates index information

Certain information is required for the creation ofthe documents

The selection of personnel numbers for the posting run should be the same as the selection for the basic payroll run

Enter the payroll area and the period. The sequence of evaluations for posting to accounting should correspond to the sequence of payroll periods. It is usually sufficient to set the current period as the payroll period.

Alternatively, if you want to post or subsequently post individual personnel numbers, enter the personnel numbers instead. It is recommended that the entries here correspond to those for the corresponding payroll runs.

In the "Document Creation" section, specify that you want to create a posting document for a live posting run. You can only run a live posting run once per personnel number and per payroll period. If you want to repeat a live posting run, you must first delete the existing run.

However, you can simulate a posting run for the same personnel numbers in the same period as often as required.

Enter a posting variant. You create posting variants in Customizing for Reporting for Posting Payroll Results to Accounting.

If you discover, after the documents have been posted successfully, that the data posted contains errors, you can reverse the documents for the corresponding posting run. To do this, display all your posting runs (choose Edit -> Delete filter) and choose Edit -> Reversal -> Reverse documents. When you reverse a document, a reversal document is created for every original document of the posting run.

Result of reversal: Reversal documents are created that contain all the line items of the original documents with reversed signs. The original documents and the reversal documents are administered by the same posting run. The reversal documents are transferred to Accounting, where they are posted. The original, incorrect posting is then deleted. All flags are removed from the payroll results in question. The corresponding indices are deleted. Links to the corresponding original documents are entered in the reversal documents. You can see these links when you show the Reversal Documents column from the document list.

Posting in Financial Accounting

Within Payroll, expenses are generated, which have corresponding payables. These expenses and payables are posted within Financial Accounting. For example: 1. Wages and salaries (2,950.-) are posted to the Salaries Payable (2,600.-) and Taxes Payable (350.-)

accounts. In addition to posting expenses and payables, the correct amount must also be paid to the employees, to

the tax office, and to other payees. These payments must also be documented within Accounting. Posting must be performed to credit the payables account and debit the bank account. Depending on the transaction, payment either takes place automatically or manually. For example: 2. Wages and salaries payable (2,600.-) to the Bank Clearing account (2,600.-) 3. Taxes payable (350.-) to the Bank Clearing account (350.-).

If all subsequent activities have been performed successfully, the payables accounts are then balanced.

Generating Checks/Bank Transfers

The data entered in the Bank Details infotype (0009) determines whether a check or bank transfer is generated. The Payment Method field determines whether payment is made by check or bank transfer. Subtype 0 contains the main bank details.

If an employee wants to distribute his or her salary between two different bank accounts, you must enter infotype 0009 again using subtype 1 (Add. bank details).

When subtype 1 is used (additional bank details), you must specify the percentage of the salary or the fixed amount to be transferred to this bank. The remaining amount is then transferred to the main bank.



The Preliminary Program for Data Medium Exchange generates a temporary dataset that is used as input for the Data Medium Exchange program. This report creates a file that complies with the banking regulations for DME by disk, and contains all payment information. Checks can also be generated based on the preliminary program.

When repeating a Preliminary Program DME run, enter the date and time of the run you wish to repeat in the Repeat Run: Date and Time fields. In this way, you select the data records that are already flagged as being paid with this date and time again.

Using the Flagged Records Only parameter, you can determine whether only the records flagged with the given date and time should be selected in a repeat run, or also those that have not been flagged.

For you this means: If the Preliminary Program DME run is repeated after an interruption in the program, then you must fill out the Repeat Run: Date aud Time fields to identify the run to be repeated. When you repeat an interrupted run, you want to mark those records that were already selected during the interrupted run as well as those which have not yet been marked, therefore do not select the Flagged Records Only parameter.

Application area: You would like to run payroll for, and remunerate, part of the employee's pay during the current period. This will usually be the employee's basic pay. You would like to run payroll for, and remunerate, bonuses for overtime or leave compensation at a later date.

Note: On starting the Preliminary Program DME, you must flag the Set Flag for Transfers parameter. In the second payroll run this determines the difference between the current employee payment and the amount already paid.

In the second payroll run, wage type /559 (Bank Transfer) will be transferred, unchanged, to the new payroll result, since it was flagged as paid in the preliminary program DME. If, in the second payroll run, the system identifies that the current employee payment is greater than the amount already paid, then the difference will be stored in wage type /558 (Payment of Balance) in the new payroll result. The payroll result created in the first payroll run will be overwritten by the second payroll run.

Advance Payments from Master Data

Application area: With the help of the advance payment from master data (earliest unqualified advance payment), you can transfer the wage types you entered in the External Bank Transfers (0011), Recurring Payments/Deductions (0014) or Additional Payments (0015) infotypes without running payroll. The statutory deductions are only calculated in the payroll run for the subsequent month.

Note: On starting the advance payment, select the Set Flag for Transfers parameter. This marks the infotype records with the end date of the current period as paid.

The wage types that you pay as advance payment from master data from the infotypes 0014 and 0015, must be coded in such a way that the amount will not be paid again in the next payroll run, and will be considered as having been paid already. Depending on the contents, the wage type must reduce the payment amount in the payroll run and must not be included in the payment amount.

Wage types that you pay as advance payments from master data from infotype 0011, are marked as already paid in the subsequent payroll run when they are transferred to the bank transactions table. This means that the amount is not paid a second time when the salary is paid. A prerequisite is, of course, that the Set Flag for Transfers parameter is selected when you start the advance payment.

Process Model: Business Scenario

After you have run payroll and all the subsequent activites in dialog mode and have understood theindividual steps, you now want to run payroll in a background operation.

The process model enables you to schedule payrolljobs and subsequent activities.



© SAP AG 1999

Payroll in a Background Operation

There are several possibilities of runningpayroll in a background operation:

Payroll calendar to create and schedule payroll jobs

Report RPCSC000 to run payroll in parallel for employees

Define jobs

Process Model

You can use the payroll calendar to create payroll jobs and follow the way they are executed. The payroll jobs are grouped into tasks according to payroll areas. The scope of functions contains a calendar where you can mark one or several dates, for example, and display the tasks scheduled.

If you want to run payroll for a large number of personnel numbers in a payroll period, you can split it into several background jobs using report RPCSC000. The system then processes the background jobs on several application servers in parallel. To do this you must specify how many personnel numbers should be included in a background job, or the number of background jobs that should be created. Report RPCSC000 selects the personnel numbers for which payroll should be run from the database, and groups them in background jobs. You can release every background job individually or you can release them all at once.

You can use the function System> Services> Jobs> Define Job to define a single job, or a series of jobs. The process model is explained in more detail in the following slides.

The process model is used to control the payroll process and the subsequent evaluation programs. The programs are processed in a specific sequence. You find the process model in the payroll menu for your country under Tools>Customizing Tools> Maintain Process Model. Copy a process model delivered by SAP for your country, and adjust it to meet your requirements.

Process models are used as a basis for carrying out processes. That means, every process is created using a process model and is given a unique process number. A process is therefore the concrete execution of the process steps specified in the process model (that is, programs), taking into consideration the defined breakpoints. You find the HR Process Workbench in the payroll menu for your country, under Tools> HR Process Workbench.

In the HR Process Workbench, you can control the program sequence that takes place in the process model. The graphical interface, the process model maintenance and the HR Process Workbench make its purpose easier to understand.

If a process model is used regularly, you create a new process every time. For example, every month you use the same process model to develop the payroll run, the bank transfer to the employee and the form printing. You create a new process for every month using this process model - in December you might possibly use a different process model that contains additional evaluation reports for the end of the year.

A process model is composed of programs that run in a specific sequence, and of breakpoints that interrupt and control the process sequence.

A process step corresponds to the processing of a program in the process model. The process step includes: the program category whose specification was determined in the process model the assigned program with a variant

A process step can be repeated as often as is necessary. The subsequent programs, which process the results of the previous program, are then also repeated.

You start and repeat processes and process steps in the same way.

You can display the attributes by marking a process step and choosing Edit> Select. Every process step has the following attributes:

Program Category: Specifies a step from a business point of view (for example, payroll posting) and establishes the role of a program in a process model. You can assign as many programs as you want to a program category.

Program Name: Program, which should be executed in this step. Selection Variant: The selection variant and criteria used to execute a step. Size of Package: A program can process personnel numbers in packages in parallel. In this way every program can process personnel number packages of different sizes.

Communication: Here you can specify who can be contacted when, and how (for example, after a step is executed, the person who started the process should receive a mail).

You can display the attributes of a breakpoint by marking a breakpoint and choosing Edit> Select. The following types of breakpoint are available for the process model:

Unconditional breakpoint: When this breakpoint is reached the process is always interrupted. Conditional breakpoint: The process is only interrupted when it reaches a certain percentage of incorrect personnel numbers.

Variable breakpoint: A self-defined function module is used to decide whether the process should be interrupted or not.

Here you can specify, via communication, who should be notified by mail. Via text of a mail, you determine the standard text that should be used for the mail.

Every process is created using a process model and is given a unique process number. It covers the processing of all the steps defined in the process model. Completed processes are locked so that no changes can be made. They can, however, still be displayed so that the process history can be followed.

Processes can be administered and monitored using the HR Process Workbench. You find the HR Process Workbench in the payroll menu for your country, under Tools> HR Process Workbench.

The additional information, the job overview and the spool list of personnel number packages are available to control processing. You find these in the HR Process Workbench menu under Goto. Additional information: You use status display to control the processing status of a process and the status of the personnel numbers. The status of a process is displayed in terms of process, process step, run and package. The status of a personnel number can be displayed at all process levels. Only correctly processed personnel numbers are transferred from one process step to another.

Job overview: The job overview gives you information on the date and time when processing began and ended or was interrupted for the packages.

Spool list: When the log is switched on you can use the spool list to display the program output of individual steps at the package level.

• Copy an existing process model

• Edit the process model

• Create and administer a process model

You have already run payroll for period 01 in dialog mode and now want to run payroll for the next period using the process model. The process model, a method of background processing, enables you to define the sequence of the program run which is then processed by the system.

1. Copy the process model ZHR390 to create your own process model with the description ZGR##.

2. Edit your process model:

2-1. Add a conditional breakpoint after the process step Payroll and before the process step Simulate posting run. The process should be stopped if some of the personnel numbers contained errors during the payroll run.

2-2. Add a new process step Print payroll journal after the step Print remuneration statement. Select the international report RPCLJNX0. Enter HR390-## as the variant which you then create.

2-3. Make sure that the person who starts the process (you) receives a mail when the Print remuneration statement step is ended. Choose the text module HRPM_MSG_ENDED.

Save and activate your process model.

3. Release payroll for your payroll area ## for the next period, that is period 02.


(C) SAP AG HR390 9-16

4. Create a process with the description Payroll group ## which is based on the process model you have just created.

Run your process immediately. Select your payroll area ## (Make sure you enter this under both Payroll period and Selection).

Continue to select Refresh. React to the breakpoint after the simulation of the posting run: Exit payroll.

Use the spool list to display the program output for individual packages, for example, for the remuneration statement.

5. If the process ran correctly, that is, if all the traffic lights are green, then look at the mail in your inbox informing you that the remuneration statement was printed successfully.

The personnel department enters a number of employee transfersthat come into force in June. Payroll has already been completed for Juneand new hirings have already been entered for July.

Reassignment01.06.

Retroactive Employee Transfer

Steps: -Enter the changes in the master data for the month of June.-Run payroll for July as normal.-The changes are automatically recognized by the system within retroactive accounting, and are paid with the July payroll run.

Within the SAP system, personal data and many table entries are given a start and end date. This is necessary for calculations involving exact dates and also for performing retroactive accounting in previous periods.

You have completed the payroll run for the current period. When you make changes to payment-related data in the payroll past, you receive a notification that you are changing data in the payroll past and that this will trigger retroactive accounting. This means that payroll must be run for this period again with the current values. This is known as retroactive accounting.

All of the periods for which you have completed and exited payroll constitute the payroll past. If a retroactive accounting infotype is maintained, the "Earliest Master Data Change" field in the Payroll Status infotype (0003) is set to the start date of the changed infotype record. This ensures that retroactive accounting is automatically triggered up to this retroactive accounting date when the next payroll run is performed.

Payroll area xx Payroll area yy

Changeof payroll area

Change of Payroll Area

In many countries the payroll area is restricted in that it can only be changed at the end of a payroll period (for example, in Germany). If an employee changes employee subgroup during a period, for example, from industrial to salaried employee, and a new payroll area is created, the payroll area cannot be changed immediately. Your evaluations would otherwise be incorrect.

The system changes the payroll period automatically. You must maintain feature DFINF in such a way that feature ABKRS (to determine the default value for the payroll area) is imported again when the Organizational Assignment record is copied, and that the payroll area is not copied from the previous record. Example: The employee changes payroll area on 15.7. However, a change of payroll area is not permitted until 1.8. After you save the Organizational Assignment infotype containing the change in employee subgroup, the system automatically creates a new record containing the change in payroll area that is valid as of August 1.

An employee's working times are stored in the system for each month. You access them by generating monthly work schedules.

Before you can run payroll for a period, the monthly work schedule must be generated in the system. A previous and subsequent period of a monthly work schedule should exist for each period to be included in the payroll run.

Check the following steps in Customizing: Personnel Time Management> Work Schedule Rules and Work Schedules> Generate Work Schedules Manually or in Batch.

If the control record is incorrectly set to 01.2000, the system changes the payroll period to 02.2001 when the payroll is released. In this case, you will be unable to run payroll for period 01.2001.

Procedure: Delete the old payroll control record and create a new one.

Partial-Period Factoring / Factoring

An employee has joined your company, but not on the first day of a periodAn employee receives a pay raise in the middle of a periodAn employee has left your company, but not on the last day of a periodAn employee has one week of unpaid leave

An employee usually receives a transportation allowance, however he or she has a three-week vacation. The transportation allowance is only paid for the period during which the employee travels to work.

Change in Basic Pay

Reduction in Recurring Payments orAdditional Payments

An employee changes to another department and is therefore assigned to another cost center. You want the cost centers involved to be debited for the correct periods.

Organizational Assignment

In payroll, factoring refers to the proportional calculation of periodical remuneration. Periodical remuneration comprises the wage types that an employee receives as basic pay, as recurring payments, and, if required, as additional payments.

During a payroll run, changes in the following infotypes are evaluated for factoring: Actions (0000) Organizational Assignment (0001) Planned Working Time (0007) Basic Pay (0008) Recurring Payments/Deductions (0014) Additional Payments (0015) Absences (2001)

If a situation arises where factoring is necessary, the current partial period factor is calculated and multiplied by the assigned wage type.

Reductions are triggered, for example, by unpaid leave during a payroll period. You can find detailed information on this topic in the HR400 course.

Off-Cycle Payroll

Bonus payments

Correction runs

Regular payroll

Advance payments

Absence payments

You can use the off-cycle payroll function to run payroll for employees not included in the regular payroll run. The payroll control record is not taken into consideration in off-cycle payroll. The settings in Customizing for payroll determine the off-cycle payroll type that you can use.

If an employee is to receive a bonus payment, you perform off-cycle payroll and process the payment for the employee.

If an employee's master or time data has changed you can trigger retroactive accounting and perform a correction run and a payment.

If an employee was only hired shortly before the payroll run date, with the result that their details could not be entered in time, regular payroll can still be performed for this employee. You can do this before payroll is next performed for the whole payroll area, even if payroll has already been performed for the payroll area in question.

If an employee leaves the company or is absent for several periods and is to receive the money owed to them, you can run payroll in advance for several periods using advance payments. The personnel number is only selected for the regular payroll run when the periods for which payroll has already been run have passed.

If you want to process an employee's absence payment in future payroll periods, you run payroll for the period during which the absence occurs, using a daily settlement.

The off-cycle reason that is entered controls any further payroll processing. In the case of absence payments, the system proposes the absences that have already been entered in the Absences infotype (2001) and that were permitted in Customizing for off-cycle payroll. You can, alternatively, enter an absence in the Absences infotype (2001) directly from the program. The start and end date is the same for this payroll type. The system writes the reason for off-cycle payroll, the payment date, the payroll type, and identifier to the Absences infotype (2001).

In the case of advance payments, the system proposes the periods for which you can run payroll. This setting is made in Customizing for Payroll. If you pay several periods in advance, the system performs regular payroll for the last period that is to be paid. Retroactive accounting is used for all the other periods before the last period. There is, therefore, only one original payroll result for several periods, and only one payment is made. The payroll control record is also not taken into consideration in this type of payroll. The employee is only selected again for regular payroll in the last payroll period.

In the case of bonus accounting, you have to enter a wage type that is permitted for infotype 0267.


(C) SAP AG HR390 11-4

© SAP AG 1999

With the help of a new process model you can now start payroll for only the personnel numbers affected by a mass off-cycle payment in the One-Time Payments Off-Cycle infotype (0267). The process model ensures that the system only runs payroll for the employees who actually received a one-time payment. This means you do not have to run payroll for the whole payroll area, as used to be the case.

Off-Cycle Functions

You can now use the Off-Cycle Workbench to run payroll for payments that you have created in the Payroll Results Adjustment infotype (0221).This means that you can once again easily run payroll for Payroll Results Adjustments, as used to be the case with the function Start Payroll directly when maintaining the infotype.

Transferring Remuneration Statements as Payment Advice

With the help of a new function in the Pre. Program DME, you can now transfer the remuneration statement to a payment medium program as payment advice.The payment medium program has the advantage that it creates the payment advice in SAPScript format.This function affects all employees who receive one or several payments by bank transfer but do not receive any payments by check.Even if the employee receives several payments by bank transfer, the system creates only one payment advice containing the remuneration statement.

USA & Canada only


(C) SAP AG HR390 11-8

© SAP AG 1999

If an employee does not receive a salary payment in a payroll period, you can now print the remuneration statement on a zero-net check or a zero-net advice.This is made possible by function P9ZNC. This function is contained in the standard payroll schemas for the USA and Canada.

Function P9ZNC automatically reads the employee's paymentmethod from the Bank Details infotype (0009). Depending on the payment method (check or bank transfer), the system decides whether the remuneration statement should be printed on a zero-net check or a zero-net advice.We recommend that you use the functions TransferringRemuneration Statements as Payment Advice and Zero-Net Checks/ Zero-Net Advices together.
