Time-Based Delimitation of a Wage Type (SAP Library

Time-Based Delimitation of a Wage Type

Use

If you no longer need a customer-specific wage type, you can delimit this wage type (time-based) using the wage type copier. It is then no longer available in your system.

Never delimit SAP model wage types.

Never delimit customer-specific wage types in a live system; only ever do this in a test system.

We recommend that you do not delimit wage types with respect to time, as this can cause problems during the Payroll run. Instead, you should define in Customizing that the wage type should no longer be permitted for entry in any infotype. For example, you have the possibility of doing this for each infotype in Customizing for Personnel Administration in the section Payroll Data

Prerequisites

You have copied SAP model wage types to the customer name range.

Procedure

Choose Delete in the initial screen of the wage type copier.

The Delete Wage Types screen appears.

In the column Delete WT (wage type to be deleted), enter the name of the wage types that you want to delimit with respect to time.

Select the wage types that you want to delimit.

Select Limit wage types according to time until... and enter the delimitation date.

The delimitation date must be a payroll period after the date from which you no longer need the wage type. The system still needs the wage type for another payroll period, to be able to import the payroll result from the previous period.

Choose Delete.

A list of the deleted wage types is displayed.

Result

The system makes the following changes in the SAP System tables:

In the date-dependent tables, the system sets the end date of the selected wage type to the delimitation date you have specified. The wage type is still available in this table, but can only be used up until this delimitation date.

Example: Table T512W (Wage Type Evaluation)

In the tables that are not date dependent, the system can not delimit the wage type. The following options are available:

If the wage type to be delimited is part of the table key, it is deleted. This means that you will no longer be able to copy the wage type.

Example: Table T555K (Transfer to Time Wage Types)

If the wage type to be delimited is not part of the key, you have to manually delimit the wage type.
