The standard SAP system contains model wage types. These wage types will meet a lot of your company's requirements. In this step, you can copy the model SAP wage types.

These copied wage types are the wage types that will be used and which will be adapted to meet specific requirements.

All the model wage types start with a letter. Your own wage types, i.e. the copied wage types, must start with a number. In this step, it is possible to copy wage types that can be entered in the infotype Additional payments (0015)

Note

Note that when you copy the model wage types, their characteristics, with regard to their behavior in dialog and in payroll, will also be copied. In the following steps, you can check and, if necessary, adapt the dialog characteristics of your wage types.

You can check and, if necessary, adapt the payroll-relevant characteristics when you customize the payroll section of your system.

Recommendation

  • SAP recommends that you carry out a test run before you create your own wage types. This will allow to check if you have entered all the wage types that you wanted to copy and it will allow you to see whether you have copied these wage types into the correct wage type area.
  • Often wage types belonging to a particular type of wage type (for example, bonus, basic pay, calculation of averages) behave similarly in dialog as they do in payroll accounting. SAP therefore recommends that you copy one wage from every wage type category as a 'prototype' giving these all the specifications. This way, you can use this prototype as a template for all your other wage types with the same characteristics and coding. By following the above procedure, you can decrease the workload when entering coding for every one of these wage types separately.

    Note that the procedure described above requires a detailed knowledge of the SAP Human Resources system and/or the SAP payroll system. Before you set up protypes you must evaluate how these are going to be used and processed in your system.

Caution

Use the predefined area for your own copied wage types (i.e. all wage types that start with a number). Never copy wage types to the SAP model wage type area (i.e. all wage types that start with a letter or a symbol).

Activities

To create your own wage types, proceed as follows:

  1. In the field New wage type area, enter the area in which the SAP model wage types are to be copied.
  2. Select the field Test, if you must carry out a simulation.
  3. Choose Execute.

    If you carry out a simulation, a list will be produced that contains all the wage types to be copied and the copied wage types to be created. The remaining steps are not applicable.

  4. On the subsequent list, check if all the wage types to be copied have been entered and check if they were copied to the correct wage type area. If everything is correct, choose the function Copy wage types.

    If you do not want to copy all of the wage types contained in the list, deselect all the wage types that you do not want to use.

  5. Only the chosen wage types will be copied. A list will be generated logging the changes made to certain tables.

Further notes

  • To implement the Payroll Accounting component, you must be familiarized with the functionalities offered by this component. Under certain circumstances, you could be setting up wage types that already exist in payroll accounting.

  • Please make sure that the wage types you have copied in this step have been copied to all the wage type groups and in the tables that contain the model wage type. You can use the log to check this.
