Payroll in a Background Operation (SAP Library

Payroll in a Background Operation

Use

This function enables you to automate either the whole or parts of the payroll process. For example, you can let the system execute the payroll program overnight so that you can check the results the next morning.

Scope of Function

You have the following options for running payroll in a background operation:

As a standard, you can schedule background jobs in the SAP System using the function System ® Services ® Jobs ® Define Job. In this way you can let the payroll program you want to use to run payroll run in the background. You can find more information in the Background Processing section under Scheduling Background Jobs.

You can use report RPCSC000 (Scheduler for Parallel Accounting) to split the personnel numbers into small sets and run payroll in parallel in the background. In this way you reduce the payroll runtime.

Using the Payroll Calendar you can create and schedule payroll jobs.

You can use a Process Model to define the sequence of all programs that you need for payroll and its subsequent activities. When you start a Process that is based on such a process model, the system automatically executes the program in the sequence you defined.
