The standard SAP system contains model wage types. These wage types will meet most 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 that will adapted to meet your 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, you will only be able 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 behaviour in dialog and in the 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 simulation 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 to see if you have copied these wage types to the correct wage type area.
- Often wage types belonging to a particular type of wage type (for example, bonus, basic pay, 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. Then, 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 should consider 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:
- In the field New wage type area, enter the area in which the SAP model wage types are to be copied.
- Select the field Test, if you want to carry out a simulation.
- 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.
- On the subsequent list, check if all the wage types to be copied have been entered and 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 the wage types contained in the list, deselect all the wage types that you do not want to use.
- Only the selected wage types will be copied. A list will be generated logging the changes made to certain tables.
Further notes
- If you want to implement the Payroll Accounting component, you should familiarize yourself 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.
