Deleting the Last Payroll Result 

Use

If you have performed payroll for an employee who should not have been included in the payroll run or for whom payroll should have been run differently (for example, if the system has performed a payroll run too far in the past), you can delete these payroll results. You can only delete the last payroll result.

To correct errors that occur during payroll, you must not delete the payroll results for the respective employee. Instead, proceed as described in correcting payroll-relevant master and time data.

Prerequisites

You can only delete a payroll result in the following cases:

Procedure

  1. From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Payroll ® Payroll <Country> ® Payroll ® Tools ® Problem Solving ® Delete Payroll Result in the SAP menu.
  2. Enter the personnel number and choose Execute.
  3. A list of all payroll results generated during the last payroll run is displayed. If payroll has only been run for the current period, the list contains only one entry. If the system has performed a retroactive accounting run, the list contains several entries.

  4. Choose Delete and confirm the system’s query.

Result

The system performs the following activities:

If retroactive accounting runs were linked to the deleted payroll results, all the payroll results that were affected by this retroactive accounting run will be reset to the original status. That means that these payroll results get the status indicator A instead of the status indicator P that they acquired through retroactive accounting.
