Copying a Model Wage Type as a Prototype

Use

If some of the wage types that you need have similar wage type characteristics, you can use prototypes to create your customer-specific wage type catalog. In doing this, you copy a sample wage type from a wage type group in the SAP wage type catalog into the customer-specific name range as a prototype. You can adjust the wage type characteristics of the prototype so that they meet the needs of your enterprise. Then you create the remaining customer-specific wage types for this wage type group, by copying the prototype several times.

If you use this procedure you should have an exact overview of how you want to implement wage types in your company.

Procedure

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

The Copy Wage Types screen appears.

The Test Run function is active. We recommend that you carry out a test run first of all.
To use the wage type copier live, deactivate the Test Run function.

In the Original WT field (Original Wage Type) enter the model wage type for the prototype and choose .

The wage type text for the sample wage type is displayed.

In the Customizing WT field (Customizing Wage Type) enter the customer-specific wage type name for the prototype and select .

Only use wage type names from the customer-specific name range, in other words, names that start with a digit.

Adapt the wage type texts to meet your requirements, if necessary.

Select the wage type and choose Copy.

Result

A model wage type is copied to the customer name range as a prototype. A list of the copied wage types is displayed for control purposes.

Your customer-specific wage types have the same wage type characteristics as the SAP sample wage type that you have copied. You can change these characteristics in all the steps in Customizing in which you edit wage type characteristics.

In Customizing for Personnel Administration, the Wage Types section is available in the Payroll Data unit for each infotype. Here you can edit valid wage types for this infotype.

In Customizing for Payroll under Environment ® Environment of Wage Type Maintenance ® Check Wage Type Characteristics you can change the dialog characteristics of your customer-specific secondary wage types.
