Distribution of Person-Related WTs to Personnel Assignments 

Use

You can use this function to make wage types of the payroll result, stored in internal tables at the person level, also available for customer-specific evaluations at the personnel assignment level. In this way you can, for example, distribute the net remuneration of a concurrently employed person to his or her individual personnel assignments to evaluate the remuneration per personnel assignment.

Prerequisites

Function XDIST is available in the personnel calculation schema for the payroll of your country.

Features

SAP R/3 uses function XDIST (Distribution of Person-Related Wage Types for Concurrent Employment) to distribute the value from the fields Number or Amount of a source wage type from table IT_PERSON or RT_PERSON to the corresponding fields of the target wage types in table IT or RT of the respective personnel assignment.

If you compare the wage types that you have distributed among the personnel assignments with wage types that are always saved in the payroll result of the personnel assignment, rounding differences could occur.

For example, you can distribute the amount from wage type /560 (Payment Amount) among the personnel assignments of a concurrently employed person. Wage type /101 (Total Gross Amount) is already available in the payroll result of the personnel assignment. If you now create the difference between the total gross amount and all the deductions for one personnel assignment, you may not receive the same payment amount that the distribution of wage type /560 came to for this personnel assignment.

In Customizing for Payroll, you determine which form the distribution should take in the section Distribution of Person-Related Wage Types for Concurrent Employment:

You can distribute amounts from all wage types stored in tables IT_PERSON and RT_PERSON for a concurrently employed person to wage types in tables IT and RT of the individual personnel assignments of this employee. The target wage types are usually customer-specific wage types.

For each wage type you can determine whether the value from the Amount or the Number field should be distributed.

You can determine a distribution rule for each wage type. The distribution rule contains a distribution basis and a distribution method. The combination of distribution basis and distribution method determines which partial amount of the source wage type applies to which personnel assignment.

For example, the distribution basis can be the Amount field of wage type /101 (Total Gross Amount) or the planned working time in calendar days of each personnel assignment. A distribution method for such a distribution basis can determine that the personnel assignment that has the highest total gross amount or the greatest planned working time in the current payroll period should receive the total amount from the source wage type.

A different distribution method for the same distribution basis can determine that percentages of the source wage type are distributed to personnel assignments, depending on the size of the total gross amount or the amount of planned working time of the personnel assignments.

The distribution method can also determine that the source wage type is distributed equally to the personnel assignments irrespective of the distribution basis.

You can specify whether SAP R/3 should transfer cost accounting splits (C1 splits) and WPBP splits of the wage types that you use in the distribution basis to the target wage types.

Irrespective of this, SAP R/3 always transfers the C1 splits, WPBP splits, V0 splits, and country-specific wage type splits of a source wage type to the target wage types. BT splits, absence splits (AB splits), and ALP splits are not transferred from the source wage type to the target wage types.

For more information, see wage type split.

If you use concurrent employment in your SAP R/3 system, the distribution of person-related wage types is also performed for employees who only have one personnel assignment. In this case, function XDIST distributes the complete amount from the source wage type to one single target wage type at the personnel assignment level.

Example

Donna Moore is a concurrently employed person and has three personnel assignments. You want to distribute the amount of wage type /550 (Statutory Net Pay) from table RT_PERSON to the personnel assignments for a customer-specific evaluation. The distribution basis is the planned working time of the personnel assignments, measured in working hours. You use a distribution method that specifies that the amount of the source wage type should be distributed by percentage to the target wage types, depending on how many hours are in the individual personnel assignments of Donna Moore.

In the current payroll period, the planned working time is distributed amongst the personnel assignments as follows:

Personnel assignment	Planned working time	Percentage share
1	100 hours	50%
2	50 hours	25%
3	50 hours	25%

The source wage type /550 in table RT_PERSON has the amount 2000. Function XDIST distributes this amount to the personnel assignments as follows:

Personnel assignment	Target wage type	Amount
1	A550	1000
2	A550	500
3	A550	500
