Deleting Wage Types (SAP Library

Deleting Wage Types

Use

If you no longer need a customer-specific wage type, you can delete this wage type from the wage type catalog using the wage type copier. It is then no longer available in your system.

Never delete SAP model wage types.

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

We recommend that you do not delete wage types, as this can cause problems during the Payroll run. Instead, you should define in Customizing that the wage type in question 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. As an alternative we recommend that you do not delete the wage type, but rather that it should be delimited with respect to time.

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 delete.

Only specify wage type names from your customer name range.

Select the wage types you want to delete.

Select Delete Wage Types.

Choose Delete.

A list of the deleted wage types is displayed.

Result

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

If the wage type name is in the table key, the system deletes all table entries for the selected wage type.

If the wage type name is not in the table key, but is contained in the function part of the table, then the system can not delete the entry. These table entries must therefore be deleted manually.

The deleted wage type is neither available for wage type copying or for other activities in the SAP system.
