Everyone knows how important dates are in SAP wage types are no exception. You can hold different configuration for a wage type for specific date periods. Click on the > symbol to see whether there are more records for different date periods. SAP confusingly calls the start date Start Time and the end date Exit.
Amount
Minimum and maximum values you can specify minimum and maximum values for a wage type. This is useful to stop input errors at source. Having meaningful values set here can prevent errors at the input stage rather than having to find them in your payroll exception reports or even at a later stage. The difficulty most customers find is that it is very hard to decide on what values to use for each instance. Our recommendation is to configure meaningful values for most of the wage types that are input manually. You might only prevent a few incorrect inputs of data, but it may well save your organisation a lot of money.
Add to total
Tick this indicator if you would like the value for this wage type to be included in the basic pay total for the employee. f here.
If you create or change a wage type in the Basic pay infotype (0008), the system checks the minimum value of a wage type against the created or changed value. If the value entered in the infotype exceeds the defined minimum value for the wage type, the system issues the relevant information message.
Reduction Method there are a few different options here. The help documentation is fairly clear about how each method can be used. Rounding Type this is either A, B, C or blank (no rounding type used). The help documentation is fairly useful. Rounding Divisor put in here whether you wish to round to the nearest 1 pence or cent or put it 100 if you wish to round to the nearest \
pound or dollar etc. Rewritable you tick this checkbox if you want to allow the users to be able to overwrite any of the number, units or amounts that have been defaulted by indirect evaluation. Dont tick if you wish to stop the user from overwriting anything.
Direct verses Indirect Evaluation Wage type defaults Wage type constants
Wage type constants can be held in various different tables. Table T511K is used to hold payroll constants which are used during the processing of payroll. These wont be seen on an employees record on the master data, but will get called during the payroll processing and used in the calculations. Table T511P is also used to hold payroll constants used during payroll processing. Traditionally the difference related to T511K being used to hold amounts used as multipliers in payroll calculations and T511P was used for specific values brought in to the calculations. These days there is is not such a defined difference. Constants from T511P are called with the prefix P in payroll PCR's, those from T511K are called with the prefix K. Table T539J is used in indirect evaluation in combination with the module chosen in the wage type characteristics held in table T511 for the wage type. Remember to check that you are using the same module in both tables this will happen to you at some point. Table T510J can be used for assigning a particular constant to a wage type. Using this table, the amount is not pulled into the employees record. The value gets called when you actually process payroll for the employee. Table T510K can be used as well for wage types being assigned a constant where the indirect valuation in table T511 for the wage type is set to CONST.
Processing classes
Processing classes are used during payroll calculations. There are numerous processing classes and the principal ones should be known to you as a payroll consultant. Look at the SAP standard wage types starting with a letter to see which processing classes have been assigned in those wage types to get an idea of the most important ones. The table which holds these items is V_512W_D.
Evaluation classes
Evaluation classes are used post-processing of payroll. Take a look at the SAP standard wage types to see the most important evaluation classes. The table which holds these items is V_512W_D.
Cumulation classes
Cumulation classes are used in payroll processing. In simple terms they can be likened to buckets which amounts are added to. Each cumulation class corresponds to a specific technical wage type. The technical wage type is always a value of 100 more than the cumulation class. The cumulation class 1 (total gross) gets processed The cumulation class 11 (pensionable pay) gets processed during payroll as /111. during payroll as /101.
