Evaluating the Payroll Results Using Infotypes or the Logical Database 

Use

The following options are available in the SAP system for evaluating the payroll results.

For detailed information on the InfoSet Query, see the SAP Library under Human Resources ® Reporting in Human Resources Management ® HR Reporting Tools ® SAP Query (BC-ERV-Que) ® InfoSet Query.

You can evaluate the payroll results in direct access with the standard reports.

For detailed information on the standard reports, see the SAP Library under Payroll ® Other Countries ® Subsequent Activities.

You can also evaluate the payroll results in the SAP Business Warehouse environment. For detailed information on this, see the Business Warehouse in the SAP Library.

Scope of Function

Inform yourself of the evaluation options before you evaluate the payroll results.

General criteria for the evaluation

Enhancement of the logical database PNP for Payroll for direct evaluation with reports

Evaluation path

If you want to evaluate the payroll results using the InfoSet Query, use the relevant payroll infotype (for example, Monthly Cumulation (0458)). You use the payroll infotype to provide the InfoSet Query with the payroll results for evaluation.

If you want to use reports to evaluate the payroll results, you use the logical database for Payroll. The reports call the logical database to evaluate the payroll results.

The InfoSet Query does not use the logical database for Payroll to evaluate the payroll results.

Storing the data

The SAP system stores the data in the transparent tables for the payroll infotypes. Special wage types called evaluation wage types are available for this purpose.

The payroll driver stores the data for the logical database redundantly, in transparent form, in the following tables:

  • Directory information from the CU cluster is stored in the transparent table HRPY_RGDIR. The cluster remains in the system.
  • Data for the Work Center/Basic Pay (Table WPBP) from the RX cluster is stored in the transparent table HRPY_WPBP. The RX cluster remains in the system.

Calling the data

The SAP system only calls the current payroll results. You can select the evaluation data with the help of wage types.

The SAP system calls all the payroll results from the evaluation period for processing.

Data Selection

You get a quick selection of the payroll results with the help of the wage types that are provided in the payroll infotype.

You get a high-performance selection of the payroll results with the help of selected fields from the Period group box and the organizational fields from the Selections group box (for example, personnel number, payroll area or company code).

Example in report:

EXAMPLE_PNP_GET_PAYROLL

Programming

You should not change the programming of the payroll infotypes and use (read) them in other programs.

You can use the existing reports to evaluate or write evaluation reports using program examples

Validity for the countries

As well as payroll infotypes, that are valid internationally (for example, payroll results: Periodical Values (0402), Monthly Cumulation (0458) there are payroll infotypes that are valid for one country.

In the SAP system, there is one logical database for all countries. Country-specific features are provided by standardizing the node PAYROLL (for example, NODES: PAYROLL TYPE PAYUS_RESULT )

  • assigned the payroll infotype to Payroll

In the attributes for the evaluation report, you have specified the following:
