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.
