1 Internal Tables for Payroll

Definition
Tables that are used for storing data during the payroll run.

Use
Within Payroll , data is processed in internal tables that the system fills and reads during the payroll run. The system also changes the data in these tables
during the payroll run. The results of processing are then available for other steps.
The read and change access to these tables is enabled using functions that are executed in a
executed in

personnel calculation schema and using operations that are

personnel calculation rules.

Structure
The following are some of the tables used in all country versions for Payroll :

Description

WPBP

Work Place/Basic Pay

Table WPBP is filled by the infotypes Actions (0000),

Organizational Assignment (0001), Planned Working
Time (0007), Basic Pay (0008), and Cost
Distributio n (0027). It contains important
organizational and payment-relevant data, and
different partial period parameters.
For more information on table WBPB, see
Relevant Information in the Payroll Result.

Payment-

RT

Results Table

Table RT contains the result wage types of the current

period for which payroll is run. Data is transferred from
table IT to table RT using the operation ADDWTE.

CRT

Cumulative Results Table

Table CRT contains the cumulations of wage types in

table RT over a certain time period.

BT

Payment Information

Every entry in the Bank Transactions table (BT) of an

employee, corresponds to a payment that was created
in a payroll period for this employee. However, the
employee is not necessarily the payment recipient of all
payments.
For more information on table BT, see
PaymentRelevant Information in the Payroll Result.

C0

Cost Distribution

Table C0 contains global information about the cost

distribution for wage types. Certain costs can be
distributed to other cost centers than the master cost
center. The information is taken from the Cost
Distribution infotype (0027).

C1

Cost Assignment from Different Infotypes

Table C1 contains information about the individual cost

assignment for individual wage types. You can use the
infotype Recurring Payments/Deductions (0014) and
Additional Payments (0015) to assign the wage types
to a cost center that is different to the employee's
master cost center.

V0

Variable Assignment

Table V0 contains various additional information about

the wage types.

GRT

Output Table from Gross Part

Table GRT is table RT according to the gross amount in

a split payroll schema.

ARRRS

Arrears

Table ARRRS contains deductions that could not be

taken and so are transferred to the following period.

DDNTK

Deductions not taken

Table DDNTK contains deductions that could not be

taken in the current period.

ACCR

Month End Accruals

Table ACCR contains special information on a posting

period assignment for month end accruals.

averages.
MODIF

Modifiers

Table MODIF contains various modifiers that can be

used as additional keys for access to Customizing
tables. The system sets the modifiers in payroll with the
function MOD ( Determine Employee Groupings ) and
operation MODIF ( Set Employee Groupings ).

VERSION

Information on Creation

Table VERSION contains creation data for the payroll

result, for example the Release and payroll program.

PCL2

Update Information PCL2

Table PCL2 contains information about the last change

access to a payroll result.

VERSC

Payroll Status Information

Table VERSC contains organizational information

about the payroll result.

STATUS

Status Indicator

Table STATUS contains eight different status

indicators.

The system exports the data in these tables at the end of payroll processing in cluster tables in table PCL2 (RP cluster 2) using function EXPRT. The cluster
tables are in a country-specific cluster, for example RD ( Payroll result, Germany ), on the database. In this way, the data is available for other processing
steps, for example, evaluation.
Other internal tables are not exported after the payroll run but are deleted, since they are only required during the payroll run.

Description

IT

Input Table

During the payroll run table IT is filled with data that is

to be processed. Data is transferred to table RT using
operation ADDWTE. Table IT must be empty by the end
of the payroll run or the personnel number is rejected.
This is checked with the personnel calculation rule
X070 ( Cancel, if table is not empty ).

OT

Output Table

Table OT only exists temporarily during processing. If a

personnel calculation rule is called using the PIT
function, a loop is performed for wage types from table
IT. The results are written to table OT using the
operation ADDWT. At the end of the loop, table IT is
restructured from table OT.

DT

Difference Table

Table DT is used to transfer retroactive accounting

differences within retroactive chains.

ORT

Old Results Table

Table ORT is table RT from the last payroll result

(usually from the previous payroll period). Tables LRT
and VORT are also formed from table ORT.

LRT

Last Results Table

Table LRT is table RT from the last payroll result

(usually from the previous payroll period). It is formed
from table ORT but only contains the wage types that
are relevant to the current period and required often.
This is controlled using personnel calculation rule
X006, which reads processing class 06.

VORT

Summarized ORT

Table VORT is a version of table ORT in which certain

splits are eliminated.

Other internal tables only apply to certain Payroll country versions.

Taking the most important internal tables into account, the payroll workflow can be represented as follows:
Internal tables during the payroll run

Since the systems needs some of the data from the internal tables in the next payroll run it imports a previous results from the cluster tables using function
IMPRT ( Import Interim and Final Results ) at the start of the payroll run.

 The system uses function IMPRT L to import the payroll result from the previous period.
The system uses function IMPRT O to import the last previous result for the current period. During a retroactive accounting run this is, for example, the
original result of this period.
The system transfers the tables of this imported result to the corresponding O tables. For example, to tables ORT ( Old results table ), OCRT ( Old cumulated
results table ), or OARRRS ( Old arrears table ). These O tables are deleted after the payroll run.
You can see in the payroll log which data a certain internal table contains at a certain time during the payroll run. You can use the
editor for functions and
operations to specify which tables the system displays for a certain function in the payroll log. You can specify the relevant tables for customer-specific
functions using input and output parameters .
