PAYROLL Complete Functional
Create wage type catalog
In this step, you create your own wage types for the infotype Basic Pay (0008) by
copying the model wage types in the standard system.
These copies are the wage types you will use in further processing. You can also modify
the copies to suit your requirements. Only wage types for use in infotype Basic Pay
(0008) are proposed in this step.
Note
- For information on setting up customer wage types either by using prototypes or by copying the wage type
catalogs delivered by SAP, see the steps " Create wage types using wage type catalogs" and " Creating wage
types using prototypes".
- Please note that any copies you make of model wage types have the same characteristics as the models, both for
processing in dialog and in payroll. The following steps enable you to check and, if necessary, change the dialog
characteristics of your wage types.
Caution
Only use the name range reserved for your customer wage types (wage types that begin with a number). Never copy
wage types to the area reserved for SAP model wage types (those that begin with a letter or a symbol).
Activities

Check wage type group 'Basic Pay'
In this section, you assign your wage types to a wage type group.
Model wage types in the standard system are already assigned groups.
Example
You want to use a standard wage type assigned to one particular infotype in a different infotype.
Requirements
You have set up the wage type catalog.
Standard settings
Certain wage types in the standard system, such as vacation and Christmas bonus, have already been
assigned.
Activities
Check wage types and create any new ones you require.
Further notes
If, in this step, you have assigned a wage type to another wage type group, then you must carry out the next
step.
Check wage type text
This section allows you to change the texts of the sample wage types you have copied to your wage type area.
Requirements
You have set up your own wage type areas.
Recommendation
Texts should be short and to the point.
Activities
Change wage type texts, if necessary.
Further notes
Wage type short texts are used when printing out payroll accounts.
Check entry permissibility per infotype
This section allows you to define the date on which wage types may be entered.
Example
The "special bonus" wage type may only be entered up to 12/31/1995.
Requirements
- You have set up your wage type catalog.
- You have decided which wage types can be entered in which infotype.
Activities
Define the validity period for entries.
Define Wage Type Permissibility for each PS and ESG
In the previous two steps, you grouped your employee groups and subgroups and personnel subareas for
primary wage types.
In this section, you can define which wage types may be entered for your groupings.
Example
You want to allow the "bonus" wage type only for employee subgroup grouping "9". These employee groups
and subgroups were defined in the previous but one step. Set this indicator in column "9" of the "Admissibility
for employee subgroup grouping" block for your groupings.
You want to allow the "share of turnover" wage type only for personnel subarea grouping "9". These
personnel subareas were defined in the previous step. Set this indicator in column "9" of the "Admissibility for
personnel subarea grouping" block for your groupings.
Requirements
- Employee groups and subgroups must be defined.
- Personnel areas and subareas must be defined.
- Employee groups, subgroups and personnel areas must be defined for primary wage types.
- The wage type catalog must be defined.
Standard settings
The indicator described in the above example must be "1", if you define this wage type as permissible without
the system issuing a note or a warning. The indicator must be "2" if the user receives a system warning when
he/she enters a wage type.
A blank signifies that the wage type may not be entered.
Recommendation
Use this functionality to effect more extensive plausibility checks when wage types are entered.
Activities
Assign the appropriate indicators to your wage types.
Further notes
If you have no employee group, subgroup or personnel subarea groupings, blanks in the permissibility string
mean no permissibility checks are carried out.
