External Wage Components (Infotype 0579)

Definition

Infotype that contains data that is created by the third-party application in HR. These are usually wage types that are originally formed as salary types in a payroll run of the third-party system and are finally converted to the HR format.

The data is imported by Payroll, processed in accordance with HR Customizing, and stored in the payroll result. It is then available for subsequent processing steps (posting to Accounting, payments).

Use

The infotype cannot be changed in HR; this avoids inconsistencies between the third-party application and HR. The infotype records are created, changed, or deleted by the third-party application using methods. For more information, see Process: Transfer to Payroll.

If the third-party application makes a function module available, it is possible to display the original document for an external wage component in HR.

Structure

The infotype has a subtype for each application from which external wage components can be transferred. This means that the external wage components can be simply assigned, displayed, and then processed in Payroll. The infotype has the time constraint 3: Several records can exist for the infotype at one time, however, gaps between the records are possible.

Integration

The wage types that can be saved in the infotype are stored in the table T512X (HR Interface: Permitted Wage Types).

The infotype is imported to Payroll and processed with the function P0579 (Processing Requirement for External Wage Components).

As with the Additional Payments infotype (0015), the cost assignment of an external wage component is stored in table ASSOB (Assignment Objects) in case you do not want to use the normal cost distribution for the employee.
