Prerequisites
You have made all
corrections. If you have made a qualified advance payment, you have run payroll for all the wage and salary elements.Procedure
From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Human Resources
® Payroll ® <Country> ® Payroll ® Exit Payroll in the SAP menu.
When you exit payroll, payroll is finished for all the personnel numbers in the payroll area and the payroll period is complete.

If you want to exit the payroll run for several payroll areas, it is easier to use the payroll control record. To do so, proceed as when
If you exit payroll using the payroll control record, you can simultaneously change the earliest possible retroactive accounting period for the relevant payroll area. You use this date to specify until which date in the past it is possible to change master and time data for the employees in this payroll area and until which date the payroll program accounts retroactively for a retrospective change in master and time data.
As long as you have not performed the payroll run without errors, it is not a good idea to change the earliest possible retroactive accounting period. For this reason, you can only make entries in this field in the payroll control record after you have chosen End of payroll and before you save the payroll control record.
Result
You have finished payroll for the current payroll period. The personnel numbers for the payroll area can be processed again.
