You can store the employee’s basic pay in the
Basic Pay
infotype (0008). You can get an overview of the employee’s payroll history using the infotype history.
Caution
When an employee leaves a company you are not permitted to delimit the
Basic Pay
infotype (0008). Basic payroll data must remain in the system. This is the only way of ensuring the accuracy of any retroactive accounting runs that need to be performed.
The standard system contains the following payment types as subtypes:
Basic contract
Increase basic contract
Comparable domestic pay
Refund of costs in foreign currency
Local weighting allowance
You can process the
Basic Pay
infotype (0008) on its own or with a personnel action. If you want to create a new data record, enter the payment type on the
Maintain HR Master Data
screen. The payment type is already set if you carry out a personnel action.
If you copy a data record, the values in the
Pay Scale Type
,
Pay Scale Area
,
Capacity Utilization Level,
and
Work Hours/Period
fields are redetermined and not copied, depending on the
Use Default Values for Infotypes
feature (DFINF)
.
However, the values in the
Capacity Utilization Level
and
Work Hours/Period
fields are copied if the values in the old data record do not match the default values at that time.
The system automatically proposes the
Pay Scale Type
and the
Pay Scale Area
. However, you can overwrite these values.
You always have to specify the
Pay Scale Group
and
Pay Scale Level
together. You can create pay scale groups and the related pay scale levels in Customizing for
Personnel Administration
by choosing
.
If you want to insert a data record, the system automatically suggests the wage types. There are a few wage types which you cannot overwrite or delete:
Indirectly valuated wage types may not be overwritten, since this would cause the indirect valuation to be lost.
For indirect valuation, a data record of the
Planned Working Time
infotype (0007) must be created for the employee.
The
Amount
of indirectly valuated wage types is only displayed and not saved.
You can enter up to 40 wage types for each employee. You can specify the number of wage types in the
Planned Payment Specification
feature (LGMST) in Customizing. If fewer permitted wage types are defined in Customizing, fewer rows are available in the infotype.
The sum total of payments (
Total Amount
) is calculated by the system. All wage types that according to the settings in Customizing are to be included in the sum total are flagged in the
Add.Total
field (
Add to Sum Total
)
.
