Use
A payroll simulation mimics the actual results of a payroll run without locking records or effecting actual data.
Procedure

You must specify the personnel country grouping and payroll accounting area for which the simulated payroll run will be performed.

The Pay period fields (payroll accounting area/PP/YYYY) are not used in the SHOYO payroll. In the Off-cycle payroll, specifying the payroll accounting area, which indicates the accounting period, does not have any meaning. Field Payment day should be used instead.

If you use both the Personnel number and the Payroll accounting area fields, only the employees that match the values in both fields are selected. Enhanced selection options are available for the fields Personnel number and Payroll accounting area. Please see the description of the standard selection screen.

The field Retroactive accounting date is not used in SHOYO payroll accounting.

Setting parameter Test run which appears in the field Program options, ensures that the results of the payroll run are not saved. In other words, parameter Test run must always be set for a simulated payroll run.

The System stores employees rejected by the payroll run in a separate list (matchcode W). If you want to perform a second simulation run just for the employees rejected by the first simulation run, please start the payroll program using matchcode W. Enter ‘=W.1’ in the Personnel number field.
Result
The regular SHOYO payroll run is simulated.
