Payroll Period and Payroll Area

Via the payroll period and the payroll area, you specify the data selection period and the personnel selection period at the same time.

The personnel selection period determines which employees are included in selection. Only employees who are considered active employees on at least one day in the personnel selection period are selected.

The data selection period determines the time period in which the data for the information types stored on the database is read for the employees selected. The data selection period itself is not a selection criterion for trips.

If you select Current period in the Payroll period group box, the system chooses the payroll period currently active in the PA03 control record. This payroll period does not necessarily correspond with the current system period.

If you select another period in the Payroll period group box, you can specify the period you wish. You must in any case enter a period and a year.

For all programs in which infotypes are read with trip times, the system determines only the personnel selection period using payroll area and period selection.

For for all programs in which infotypes are read with the last valid record for the data selection period, the system determines both the personnel selection period and also the data selection period using payroll area and period selection.
