SAP Payroll is based on an international payroll driver. This payroll driver is modified for each country. The country-specific payroll drivers take the statutory and administrative regulations of a country into account.

Since the payroll driver has a modular structure, you can use the Customizing functions to quickly modify the payroll procedure to meet the particular requirements of your enterprise.

The payroll process in SAP Payroll Denmark, only calculates the gross payments. The gross payment data is exported to the third-party payroll system, PBS, for net calculation.

When you access Payroll for Denmark, the payroll driver calls the accompanying payroll schema which consists of a sequence of functions. For each activity, these individual functions import data from internal tables and payroll files.

The process consists of five subprocesses:

Relevant master data is used when generating a gross result. In this subprocess, the Test run (no update) is not relevant when running Danish payroll. If a test run is run, it is not possible to send the data to PBS afterwards without starting the payroll run all over again.

The generated gross data is prepared before being send to PBS

The data transfer of the gross result is send to PBS. In this subprocess you can run an Initial run where no banktransfers are done, to make sure everything is correctly processed, before transferring the gross result data to PBS.

Normally the gross result data is send directly to the PBS server, but in case of technical problems that makes a direct transfer impossible, the gross result data can be saved on a file or disk.

This subprocess also offers different types of error treatment which stops the actual transfer if any of the chosen error treatments are found in the file.

When the net calculation at PBS is finished, the net result is imported back into the SAP system.

The net results received from PBS together with the gross payroll results make a complete settling of accounts which can be used for reporting and posting to accounting.
