This process describes information required for the system to calculate the employee’s advance payment according to current legal and business practices.

During Customization, the following items must be given parameters:

• Number of absences in case of advance payment
• Minimum number of days worked for receiving advance payment (included in ADDIA)
• Advance payment in case of excessive absences or recently hired employees
• Percentage referring to wage advance (included in PADIA)

Data processing for wage advance is determined in payroll schemes, subprocedures, functions, and calculation rules. Generally, it includes the following information:

1. The V_T7BRAB_A view stores the maximum number of absence days an employee is allowed to have in order to be entitled to wage advance.
2. The ADDIA constant of the V_511K view contains the minimum number of days worked for the employee to be entitled to a wage advance.
3. By customizing the BRBD calculation subprocedure, you may choose whether or not to provide wage advances to recently hired employees or to those who have exceeded the limit of allowed absences within the period.
4. The employee’s wage advance percentage is defined in the PADIA constant of the V_511K view. In turn, this constant is used by the BRADV function. It calculates the wage advance itself, taking different parameters into account:

• When the CALC parameter is activated, it calculates the advance based on the advance basis:

• When the SET1 parameter is activated, it indicates that the payment date of the regular payroll is next month. In this case, taxes charged on pay must be deducted upon wage advance.
• When the SET2 parameter is activated, it indicates that taxes were withheld upon wage advance.
• When the SET3 parameter is activated, it indicates that a wage advance was paid out.
• When the AIMP parameter is enabled, it imports the wage advance paid for the current payroll period.

4. The wage advance calculation rules used in the payroll perform the following activities:

• BRAA calculation rule - generates the assessment basis for wage advance based on the contractual wage.
• BRAB calculation rule - generates the assessment basis for taxes related to the amount of wage paid in advance.
• BRAC calculation rule - deducts the advance from the tax calculation basis, as long as the tax has been collected upon wage advance.
• BRAD calculation rule - discounts the wage advance from the employee’s total pay.
• BRAE calculation rule - fills in the numeric field that refers to the wage advance with the assigned percentage. If no wage advance amount is recorded in infotype 0267, this percentage is used for calculating the advance. This rule reads the PADIA constant, which stores the advance percentage indicated in table V_511K.

The employee’s wage advance is calculated according to the options chosen by the user during payroll execution.
