Diagnosis

Certain wagetypes can be changed retroactively when overpayments have been made to an employee in a previous tax year. Standard wage types cannot be changed retroactively in a previous year, once statutory End-of-Year Reports have been produced. Therefore, /Z wagetypes are created to perform the necessary retrocalculation in the previous tax year, which appear as negative wagetypes when they are carried forward to the current payroll period in the current tax year.

Examples of / Z wagetypes are given below:

Wage Type    /Z WT Equivalent    Wagetype Name

/101    /Z01    Total Gross Pay

/P20    /ZP0    Tax-free Pension Contributions

/P21    /ZP1    Tax-free AVCs

/SPY    /ZSP    SSP Payment

/MPY    /ZMP    SMP Payment

/112    /Z12    Widows & Orphans Fund

Example:

An employee was incorrectly paid SSP in March of a given tax year. This was entered in wagetype /SPY in the March payroll run and reported in End-of #Year processing on statutory forms P14 and P35.

To make a retrocalculation correcting this overpayment in the previous tax year, the SAP R/3 system creates a wagetype SSP EOY Adjustment (/ASP) for the March payroll run for the employee concerned, to correct this overpayment of SSP.

The wagetype /ZSP is then carried forward into the current payroll period in the current tax year.This /Z wagetype then creates wagetype /SPY in the current pay period, which has a negative value reflecting the previous overpayment of SSP to the employee.

System Response

The SAP R/3 system creates the appropriate / Z wagetype as described above, resulting in a negative wagetype in the current pay period.
