Definition of the payroll result in the Datat Dictionary.
The country-specific part of the payroll result is defined in the macro definitions RP-IMP-C2-XX (XX = Cluster in table PCL2). They are linked to individual includes, consequently, it was necessary to copy reports with international functions to country versions if they accessed payroll results.
As of Release 4.5A, the new concept enables you to use a function module to read and write the payroll results generically. To do this, complex data types are created in the Data Dictionary. These data types contain the data definitions for all cluster tables and field strings. The naming convention for these types is PAYXX_RESULT (XX = ISO code). This new concept was previously only used in off-cycle accounting and in report RPUCRT00.
Action is only required if you store tables in the payroll cluster for table PCL2, in other words, if you have changed the macro definitions RP-EXP-C2-XX and RP-IMP-C2-XX (for example, RP-EXP-C2-RD for Germany) from the SAP standard version. In particular, if you use report RPUCRT00, we recommend that you contact the SAP Hotline to discuss the modifications that are required after the upgrade.
In the long term, we plan to replace the macros for importing and exporting payroll results by the above functions.
