Check Wage Type Characteristics

In this step, you define the characteristics for the wage types that you copied to the customer name range in the previous steps.

This step only affects wage type characteristics that control online wage type input. Consequently, you only need to carry out this step if you also want to use the wage types that you copied previously as dialog wage types.

You define the wage type characteristics that affect the payroll process in the thematic sections of the Implementation Guide (IMG). For example, in the Payroll IMG, under Incentive Wage Types there is a section on Wage Types . Here, you edit the wage types affecting incentive wages and in particular, how they behave during payroll.

Examples

Wage type characteristics that affect the input of wage types online include the following examples:

• The wage type amount must be between USD 10 and USD 1000.

• The number of a wage type must be between 1 and 100.

• The wage type amount must not be included in the total line of the basic pay.

• An amount for a wage type must be entered.

• Only the wage type number can be specified.

• A particular time/unit of measurement is proposed as the default value.

• A wage type must be valuated indirectly.

Requirements

You have created your own wage type catalog in the customer name range in the previous steps.

You have an overview of the characteristics of your wage types.

Standard Settings

In the standard system, your customer wage types have the same wage type characteristics as the corresponding SAP sample wage types that you copied.
