Payroll seen from SAP HR side. Payroll is used to calculate remuneration for work performed by individual

employees.

All elements of an employee¶s periodic remuneration which are entered by the relevant department are used

as basics for payroll program to perform gross-to-net calculation (including calculating benefits, taxes,

amounts for social security and other types of statutory and voluntary deductions): wage types stored in

infotypes: Basic Pay (IT0008), Recurring Payments/Deductions (IT0014), Additional Payments (IT0015),

Additional Off-Cycle Payments (IT0267), other payroll related (country and client specific) infotypes, time

wage types (bonuses for overtimes, night shifts, etc).

Payroll program produces: payroll results (entered in payroll specific tables), remuneration statements and

bank transfers. Also posts payroll results to Accounting.

ð




 ë 
This infotype is created automatically (by the system in the background) during hiring action and is

automatically maintained for each payroll period. This means that a user does not have to or rarely needs to

maintain IT0003, but, what is important, user need to have authorization for IT0003 set to be able to run

payroll.

| ·arliest personal retroactive accounting date ± if you want to set a retroactive accounting limit

for an employee that is different from the date set in the control record of employee¶s payroll

area, you specify the date here (for more info see Payroll are and Control Record paragraph

below)

| Run payroll up to ± date to which payroll is run for an employee, used e.g. if the employee

leaves the company but need to be still paid. The date must lie in an interval in which the

employee is not actively employeed.

| Do not account after - date after which payroll will no longer be performed for an employee. The

subsequent day must lie in a non-active period

| Personnel number locked ± flag filed, you can lock employee for payroll, this means the

personnel number will not be selected for payroll

| Accounted to - end date of the last completed payroll period

| ·arliest MD Change - if you change payroll related master data, the start date of validity of those

master data is set here. This date is deleted after each completed payroll run.

| Payroll Correction ± flag field, payroll program set this flag personnel number has been rejected

during payroll run. If payroll run is subsequently completed successfully, the indicator is

removed.

It is possible to change particular fields in the Payroll Status infotype manually, rest is set by payroll

program.



If you 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, so the results will be updated based on new source

data. This action is known as  
.

If you do any changes in an infotype that is relevant to retroactive accounting, the ·
 
   field
in the Payroll Status infotype (IT0003) is set to the start date of the changed infotype, this way retroactive

accounting is automatically triggered up to this retroactive accounting date when the next payroll run is

performer. For example, after a salary change in Basic Pay infotype (IT0008).

For every payroll area must be created Ä
, which controls the individual stages

of payroll. It locks master data and time data so no changes can be made during the payroll process.

Control record sets current payroll period and defines the earliest possible retroactive accounting date for

each payroll area.

Payroll period determines the period for which a payroll is run. The length of payroll periods can differ, for

example, it can be a month, a week, or fourteen days.

R·M·MB·R: The payroll period which is set in control record must be 1 period before the period in which you

want to go live with your SAP HR Payroll.

The lock of master data is valid for past and present payroll data. Changes that affect future payroll runs are

still possible.

·arliest possible date for change of payroll related master data could be set in various places. Payroll

program need to have concrete retroactive accounting limit date. It determines the exact date until which

master data and time data can be changed in the payroll past based on the following values:

| in payroll area (date specified in appropriate control record): ·arliest possible retroactive

accounting period

| employee (Payroll Status infotype IT0003): ·arliest personal retroactive accounting date

| ·mployee hiring date

The later date is used as a limit. The absolute limit day for retroactive accounting for an employee is the

his/her hire date.

By Dynamic Actions you control the initiation of actions when maintaining an infotype

record. This can be the maintenance of an additional infotype record or performing a

routine. For each action, you can determine whether it is always carried out when you

change an infotype or a subtype or whether it is only carried out if you change certain

Description fields.

You can state whether the action is to be carried out for

  ,

  and/or 

record. You can store the conditions for executing the action, for example, the

comparison of the old and new value of a field. Finally, you can also specify default

values for a record that is to be created.
