 The following infotypes are evaluated for factoring in payroll: Actions infotype (0000), Organizational Assignment infotype (0001), and Absences infotype (2001). These infotypes are used to determine an employee’s exact remuneration, the remuneration amount is multiplied by a partial period factor1. References =

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, wage type selection rules are built using several elements. These elements are grouped into a rule group, forming different regulations for the selection of time wage types1. Each individual rule within a rule group contains the wage type to be selected1. The selection of a wage type is determined by whether the conditions specified in an individual rule are fulfilled1. Two of these elements are the Processing type and Conditions for the day1. References = 1

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, wage types are used for different purposes. For cumulations, the wage type /101 is used. This wage type represents the total gross amount, which flows into the final payment for the employee. Almost all of these amounts are subject to tax and social insurance contributions. A special feature for Croatia is that the wage type itself receives a CNTR2 split, which is needed to distinguish between domestic payments and work abroad. References = 1

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, the functions that are used to import infotypes data into the current payroll run are WPBP and PIT. The WPBP function is used to transfer master data on the work center and basic pay for the payroll period to the internal table WPBP1. The PIT function is used to import the last previous result for the current period2. References =

B. Configure a varying amount based on the hourly rate: Valuation bases are rates used to value other wage types with a rate listed in the valuation basis multiplied by a quantity (most often number of hours). These can be wage types with mask /0xx where /0 is a constant and xx are arbitrary characters1.

C. Configure a varying amount based on pay scale group and pay scale level: Values from tariff table T510 are set depending on tariff data from IT 0008 and the wage type1.

E. Assign a fixed amount: Values from the T510J evaluation constant table are set depending on the modifier set in the rule for payroll calculation and the wage type1. References =

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, an average calculation rule is used to determine the average value for a specific wage type or set of wage types over a defined period. The average calculation rule can include several components:

Cumulation rules: These are used to define how the wage types are cumulated over the average calculation period1.

Relevant average period: This defines the period over which the average is calculated. It could be a fixed period (e.g., the last three months) or a variable period (e.g., the period of employment)2.

Final processing: This is used to finalize the calculation of the average, such as rounding off the average value1.

Function PARTT and Modifier groupings are not typically included in an average calculation rule in SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA.

The retroactive accounting depth of SAP payroll is the earliest date from which the payroll results can be recalculated due to changes in master or time data.

The retroactive accounting depth is determined by the following settings:

The “Earliest personal retroactive accounting date” stored in the Payroll Status infotype (0003) for the personnel number. This is the most specific setting that applies to an individual employee. It can be changed manually in the infotype or automatically by the system when certain changes are made.

The “Earliest retroactive accounting period” in the Payroll control record. This is the common setting that applies to all employees assigned to a payroll area. It can be changed in the payroll control record or by using the report RPUCTD00.

The hiring date stored for the personnel number. This is the absolute limit that cannot be exceeded by the other settings. The payroll results cannot be recalculated before the employee’s hiring date.

The system uses the latest of these three settings as the retroactive accounting depth for each personnel number. For example, if the personal retroactive accounting date is 01.01.2024, the payroll control record date is 01.02.2024, and the hiring date is 01.03.2024, then the retroactive accounting depth is 01.03.2024. References =

Secondary wage types are technical wage types that are created during payroll run and start with a slash (/). They are used for various purposes such as valuation, calculation,and reporting. For average calculation, which is a method of valuing wage types according to the principle of averages, the system uses the following secondary wage types:

/201 Average basis 01 (Time wage earner): This wage type stores the amount of the wage types that are relevant for average calculation for time wage earners.

/202 Average basis 02 Premium amount: This wage type stores the amount of the wage types that are relevant for average calculation for premium payments.

/203 Average basis 03 (Incentive wage earner): This wage type stores the amount of the wage types that are relevant for average calculation for incentive wage earners.

/210 Average posit. time (day): This wage type stores the positive time in days that are relevant for average calculation.

/211 Average posit. time (hour): This wage type stores the positive time in hours that are relevant for average calculation.

/212 Average neg.time (day): This wage type stores the negative time in days that are relevant for average calculation.

/213 Average neg. time (hours): This wage type stores the negative time in hours that are relevant for average calculation.

/216 Gratuity time (day): This wage type stores the gratuity time in days that are relevant for average calculation.

/217 Gratuity time (hours): This wage type stores the gratuity time in hours that are relevant for average calculation.

/240 Average wage dialog (day): This wage type stores the value of the average wage due per day multiplied by 100. It can be used to override the incentive wage earners’ daily average in the infotype 0008.

/241 Average wage dialog (hrs): This wage type stores the value of the average wage due per hour multiplied by 100. It can be used to override the incentive wage earners’ hourly average in the infotype 0008.

/242 Aver.diff. (day) * 100!!: This wage type stores the value of the average wage difference (DIFF) due per day multiplied by 100. It can be used to override the time wage earners’ daily average in the infotype 0008.

/243 Aver.diff. (hour) * 100!!: This wage type stores the value of the average wage difference (DIFF) due per hour multiplied by 100. It can be used to override the time wage earners’ hourly average in the infotype 0008.

/250 Average value (Ft/day): This wage type stores the calculated value of the daily average for the reference period. It is used for evaluation with the daily average (e.g. for printing in the remuneration statement).

/251 Average value (Ft/hour): This wage type stores the calculated value of the hourly average for the reference period. It is used for evaluation with the hourly average (e.g. for printing in the remuneration statement).

/260 Difference comp. in payr.: This wage type stores the value of DIFF * NUM. It is used for consideration of wage types evaluated with average in bases for calculating average value.

/261 Absence fee difference: This wage type stores the value of DIFF * NUM. It is used for consideration of wage types evaluated with absence fee in bases for calculating average value.

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, the function that generates time wage types on the TIP table is GWT (Generate Wage Types). This function processes the entries of table T510S (Time Wage Type Selection), which contains the wage types that can be selected and the conditions that must be met for the selection of a wage type1. References = 

https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON-PREMISE/85346b7b83c8474e993429d934f77cc0/de38c2531bb9b44ce10000000a174cb4.html

When a personnel number is rejected in the payroll run, the system sets the Payroll Correction indicator in infotype 0003 (Payroll Status) for that employee1.

When a personnel number is subject to master data changes in the correction phase, the system also sets the Payroll Correction indicator in infotype 0003 (Payroll Status) for that employee2.

The Payroll Correction indicator means that the payroll results of the employee need to be recalculated in the next payroll run3.

Therefore, the system uses the Payroll Correction indicator in infotype 0003 (Payroll Status) to identify the personnel numbers whose payroll results need to be recalculated in the next payroll run. References =
