Compensation Category

Definition

When you have completed the compensation administration process and your adjustments have been submitted and approved, you can then activate them. When you activate your adjustments, the employees' master data records are updated with the new data.

The compensation category determines which master data records are updated. Compensation categories are SAP-defined system values and cannot be changed.

SAP currently supports the following categories:
