Commuter Rate A Infotype (0058)
Definition

You must first record an employee’s data in Fiscal Data infotype (0042) before you can record data in Commuter Rate infotype (0058). The system checks whether tax data exists for the employee in the specified period of time.
If you create a record for this infotype, the start date of the record must be the first of a given month.
If you delimit a record for this infotype, the end date of the record must be the last day of a given month.
