Wage Type Copier 

Definition

Tool used for creating the customer-specific wage type catalog.

Use

We recommend that you only use the wage type copier within Customizing (Transaction OH11). It is available in all the steps in which you copy wage types. You find this, for example, in Customizing for Payroll under Environment ® Environment of Wage Type Maintenance ® Create Wage Type Catalog.

You can also call up the wage type copier outside of Customizing, using transaction PU30.

The wage type copier provides you with the following functions:

You copy the model wage types, which are contained in your standard system, into the customer-specific name range. In this way you create your own customer-specific wage type catalog.

You can delimit or delete wage types that you no longer require.

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 or delimit customer-specific wage types. Instead, you should no longer allow them to be entered in infotypes. Then the wage type can no longer be used in your system. You also avoid the problems that could arise when deleting or delimiting wage types.

The wage types are created in tables. Table T512W (Wage Type Valuation) is a central table that must contain all the customer-specific wage types. You can carry out a test run to check if the wage types included in other tables are also contained in Table T512W. You receive a list of all the wage types that are not contained in Table T512W.

When you copy a model wage type to the customer-specific name range, the system also copies the documentation. You can change the documentation for the customer-specific wage type using transaction PDSY (HR Documentation Maintenance).
