Procedure
You access the Basic Pay infotype (0008) by calling up the Display HR Master Data, Maintain HR Master Data or Personnel Actions screens.
Directly valuated wage types with no values entered in the Amount, Number and Unit fields are not saved.
The amount of the indirectly valuated wage types is only displayed, but is not saved. If your Customizing settings specify that indirect valuation is only valid until a date prior to the validity end date of the infotype record in the Basic Pay infotype (0008), an appropriate message will be displayed. If this is the case you can re-enter the date on which indirect valuation should take place, in the Ind.Val. field.
For indirect valuations, an infotype record must be created for the employee in the Planned Working Time infotype (0007).
Indirectly valuated wage types must not be overwritten because the indirect valuation will therfore be lost.
You can enter a maximum of twenty wage types for each employee. If your Customizing settings permit fewer wage types, fewer lines will be available.
The total payment amount is calculated by the system. All wage types to be included in the total amount, in accordance with the Customizing settings, are flagged in field A (Add to Total Amount).

Depending on the Copy Default Values for Infotypes feature (DFINF), the values in the Pay Scale Type, Pay Scale Area, Capacity Utilization Level and Work Hours/Period fields
will be redefined, but not copied. The values in the Capacity Utilization Level and Work Hours/Period fields are copied if the values in the old infotype record do not correspond to the default values at that time
If you copy the infotype record in a batch input session and change the validity start date, you should first enter a date in the From field and then copy the data. You can then enter data in other fields, (for example, Wage Types).
