In this step, you check the period parameters for Payroll and, if required, adjust them in accordance with your needs. You need the period parameter to define specific payroll periods with start and end dates. If you run payroll for all employees in the same time interval, you only require one period parameter.
Example
Requirements
Standard settings
The standard system contains entries for all the usual payroll periods for various countries.
Recommendation
Do not change the SAP period parameters.
Activities
If, in addition to the SAP period parameters, you want to define your own period parameters, make the following settings:
In the Period parameters field, enter a two-character numerical key of your choice.
In the Description field, enter a text for the period parameter.
Assign a Time unit to the period parameter.
Define the Start date for the period parameter. You can specify a start date in the past.
Save your entries.
Further notes
The period parameter only specifies the frequency with which payroll is run. You define the specific duration of each payroll period with start and end date in this section of the Implementation Guide, in the step Generate Payroll Periods. You must create the payroll periods separately for each of the period parameters that you use in your system.
