You can store the employee’s basic pay in the Basic Pay infotype (0008) . You get an overview of the employee’s payroll history using the infotype history.

The standard system contains the following reference types:

• Subtype 0: Basic contract
• Subtype 1: Increase main contract
• Subtype 2: Comparable domestic pay
• Subtype 3: Refund of costs in foreign currency
• Subtype 4: Local weighting allowance

You can process the Basic Pay infotype (0008) on its own or during a personnel action. If you want to create a new data record, enter the reference type on the screen Maintain HR Master Data. The reference type is already set if you carry out a personnel action

The system automatically proposes the Pay Scale Type and the Pay Scale Area. However, you can overwrite these values.

If you want to insert a data record, the system automatically suggests the wage types. There are a few wage types that you can not overwrite or delete. You can enter up to forty wage types. You specify the number of wage types in the LGMST feature.
