In this step, you maintain your payroll schema for the use of hourly rates with more than two decimal places. If you do not require this function, you do not need to do anything in this step.

The amount and rate fields are usually stored in the payroll results with two decimal places according to the country currency. However, you may want to use hourly rates with more than two decimal places.

To use more than two decimal places, you need to modify the standard payroll schema.

You need to set a flag indicating that hourly rates with more than two decimal places are used. This flag is valid for all employees for whom you are running the payroll.

If this flag is set, currency fields will be filled for all rate and amount fields in the result tables. This currency is either the country currency or a newly defined currency with more decimal places (see the IMG for Personnel Administration, section Hourly rates with several decimal places). The entire wage type evaluation process is then based on this higher number of decimals.

Before entering the tax and superannuation part of the payroll schema, all amount fields in the internal result tables have to be rounded to two decimal places.

There are three options available for rounding:

  • 1 : rounding down
  • 2 : rounding
  • 3 : rounding up

Currency fields are not filled for all newly created wage types during tax calculation and some of the subsequent functions. This applies to superannuation wage types and leave accrual wage types. It is therefore necessary to fill the currency fields before the net processing starts.

An implicit check is performed within the export function to ensure that the currency fields are filled for all entries in the payroll result table before they are exported to the cluster.

It is only possible to store the new currency with more than two decimal places for rate fields. All amount fields have to be stored on the cluster with the two-decimal country currency.

For retrocalculation, it is necessary to convert all payroll results currently stored on the cluster. The currency results of all old results in the payroll tables have to be filled with the country currency.

Example

One of your collective agreements determines an hourly rate of $10 3/16 for a specific pay scale area and pay scale type. This results in an hourly rate value with four decimal places, $10.1875.

Requirements

All steps described in the chapter Hourly rates with several decimal places in the IMG for Personnel Administration must have been performed.

This implies that all tables are maintained for the new currency and that feature ALCUR has been modified.

Standard settings

In the standard payroll schemas the necessary functions are present but deactivated.

Recommendation

Only activate the function if you really need the hourly rates with more than two decimal places.

Activities

  1. Activate function OPT DEC in schema NZIN (Initialisation).
  2. Activate functions XDECI CONV RT 2 and XDECI CONV IT 2 in schema NZAL (Monthly factoring and storage).
    Choose the rounding type you want to use.
  3. Activate functions XDECI FILL RT and XDECI FILL IT in schema NZAL.
  4. Activate functions XDECI FILL RT and XDECI FILL IT in schema NZEN (Final processing).
  5. Activate functions XDECI FILL RT and XDECI FILL IT in schema NZSU.
  6. Start the conversion program for payroll results on the cluster to fill the currency fields with the country currency.
    Run the conversion for all employees.

Further notes

SAP recommends running the conversion program in the background because it may take some time.

Note that you must maintain your payroll form to allow printing of the additional decimal places. Choose the appropriate conversion 'Amount in currency' when you set up the layout of your payroll form in the section Forms.

Effective October 2011, the following schemas with the multidecimal functions are uncommented, that is, multi-decimal processing is delivered as standard:

  • Initialization of payroll (New Zealand)(NZIN)
  • Period factoring and storage (New Zealand) (NZAL)
  • Final processing - NEW ZEALAND (NZEN)
  • Superannuation Processing New Zealand (NZSU)

However, you can comment out the relevant multi decimal functions mentioned in this documentation if you do not require this functionality.
