Check wage type characteristics

In this step you specify the attributes of wage types.

These attributes refer to the recording of wage types not their behavior in SAP Payroll Accounting. This step must therefore only be performed, if you also want to use the copied wage types as dialog wage types.

Examples

The amount of a wage type must be at the most DM 1000.- and at least DM 10.-.

The number of a wage type must be at the most 100 and at least 1.

The amount of a wage type is not allowed to flow into the totals line for basic pay.

An amount must be entered for a wage type.

Only the number should be able to be entered for a wage type.

A certain time/unit of measure should be proposed for the number which can be entered.

You want to valuate wage types indirectly.

Requirements

You have already set up your wage type catalog in previous steps.

You have defined your wage type catalog and informed yourself about your wage types' attributes.

Standard Settings

Your wage types have the same attributes as the corresponding model wage types in the SAP standard version.

Activities

1. Specify the validity period for the wage type attributes.
2. Specify the operation indicator.
3. Specify the minimum and maximum amount for the wage type, if relevant
4. If you want to process a wage type for entry in Infotype Basic Pay (0008), specify whether the amount of this wage type is to flow into the total for basic pay.
5. Specify the time/unit of measure, and minimum and maximum number to be defaulted, if relevant.
6. Specify the entry combination for number and amount.
7. Specify indirect valuation with its attributes, if relevant. Indirect valuation is possible for the following infotypes:
Basic Pay (0008)
Recurring Payments/Deductions (0014)
Supplementary Payments (0015)
Standard Wage Maintenance (0052)
8. If you also intend to install HR TIM: specify whether the wage type is a bonus or a basic hourly pay wage type.

Further Notes

You only have to specify wage types which are to be enterable in Infotypes; wage types which are generated by payroll accounting itself (in a run) do not need to be defined in this step.
