Spanish payroll 

Use

The payroll process for Spain is carried out through the program ‘Spanish payroll’ (RPCALCE0).

Through this program, the system sequentially processes a calculation scheme with which it will set all the payments and deductions which correspond to the employees selected for a set period of payroll.

For an improved understanding of the process and functions that make up the Spanish payroll, we recommend that you also read the general information contained in the international part of this book. For example, in the chapter ‘Spanish SAP payroll procedures’ as well as in the sections:

Payroll in the SAP System

Payroll scenes

Payroll can be carried out either current month or deferred month through the corresponding calculation schemes. For more information, see also the section Current month and deferred month.

Requirements

In the personnel management implementation guide and payroll all the necessary settings have been made for the correct running of the payroll.

Likewise, before launching the payroll, it is necessary to

·         generate the personal calendar and

·         if necessary, carry out a estimate of deductible revenue for each employee.

Activities

The payroll screen is reached via the menu of Human Resources ® Payroll ® Europe ® Spain.

Functional characteristics

The program RPCALCE0 offers, amongst other things, the following functions:

·        Simulation. Before proceeding with the execution of the real payroll process, you can carry out a simulation execution. Seeing the results obtained in a simulated calculation, you can detect possible errors at an early stage of the payroll process.

·        Liberation. With this function you have control over the execution of the payroll. The master data and time data of the employees included in the process are blocked during the execution of the payroll for reasons of consistency.

·        Payroll. This function launches the execution of the calculation process.

·        Checking of results. With this function you can check that the results obtained are correct.

·        Corrections. This function allows the necessary corrections to be made.

·        Closing. The payroll can be closed only if the execution has been carried out satisfactorily for all the selected employees. Once the payroll is closed, the payroll period is considered complete, and the master data and that of times corresponding to this period are liberated again.

Once the calculation process is finalised, the corresponding subsequent activities can be carried out from the same screen.
