In this step you determine whether payments to your employees are printed on the remuneration statement in the euro as well as in the country currency. You can also use the changes for the payroll account and for the new version of the payroll journal.

Standard settings

The alternative currency, in this case the euro, for a given currency is defined using the ACURR feature. A model entry exists for this feature with the decision criteria "country grouping" and "currency key". This shows how you set up an alternative currency for the country currency.

For example, you can assign the euro as an alternative currency to the country grouping for Germany ("01") and to the country currency Deutsch Mark ("DEM").

Activities

Use the ACURR feature to define the alternative currency to be used for your country and your country currency for listing individual payments on the remuneration statement.

Please note that you can also create decisions using all other decision operations for the feature structure as well as with the "country grouping" and "currency key" decision operations. For example, if the alternative currency in the remuneration statement differs from the alternative currency in other reports (for example, the payroll account), you can enhance the decision tree for the feature to include the "Report class" decision operation.

The settings made in the ACURR feature are converted in the remuneration statement by appropriate conversion programs, as specified in the "Set up data in fixed positions" or "Set up line layout in window".

General information on the feature

When changing a feature, please take note of the following:

  • The report class (RCLAS field) for the remuneration statement is "CEDT". If you want to create a decision using the report class for the remuneration statement, you must enter "CEDT" as the variable key.

Example

You want to set up the system so that the country currency (deutsch mark) can be converted into the alternative currency (euro) for individual payments before the form is printed. If this is the case, please enter the following:

            D    MOLGA

**                &ACURR= ,

01            D    CURKY

01 DEM                &ACURR=EUR,

01 *****                &ACURR= ,

With this entry, you determine that the alternative currency ("EUR") should be used for the country grouping for Germany ("01") and the appropriate country currency, the deutsch mark ("DEM").

Further information

Please see the documentation on maintaining features in the SAP Library.

The maintenance of the features refers to the remuneration statement and payroll account only. Feature maintenance for the payroll journal is only possible with the new version.

In addition to feature maintenance for converting individual amounts, global conversion is also possible. On the appropriate selection screen for the payroll form report, enter the key for the euro in the "Alternative Currency" field. The form will then be printed in your chosen currency (in this case, the euro).
