Features
Multicountry Requirements
These functions enable agents to enhance the configuration of payrolls for multiple countries.
The agent can assign the period modifiers to country grouping codes and thus organize them based on the country of the user. The values of period modifiers, for report RPUCTP00, are then selected by the agent based on these assignments. The system prevents payroll period entries, created for one country with report RPUCTP00, being overwritten or changed by an agent who is responsible for another country. The same period modifier can be used for more than one country grouping code and agents can link a country grouping code to more than one period modifier.
The agent can map symbolic accounts to country grouping codes. These assignments are used to ensure that only symbolic accounts are available for the country grouping of the user.
The agent can assign UGR parameters to specific country grouping codes. They can then organize the infotype menus and the infotypes derived from the user groups obtained from this view, based on the country of the employee they are processing when using transactions PA30 or PA40.This allows HR administrators to support master data maintenance for employees of multiple countries.
