Use

In this IMG activity, you set up the required payroll areas for your enterprise.

The payroll area to which employees belong depends on their organizational assignment. Employees who belong to different company codes can, for example, be included in the same payroll area.

We recommend that you use as few payroll areas as possible. You need different payroll areas for different employee groups in the following cases:

  • The payroll periodicity is different. Hourly-paid workers, for example, have payroll run weekly, salaried employees have payroll run monthly.
  • The payroll period is varied. For salaried employees, payroll is run on the 25th of the month, for company pensioners, on the 20th of the previous month.
  • The payment date is varied. For weekly wage earners it is, for example, the fourth day of the following week, for salaried employees, the first of the following month.
  • The retroactive accounting limit is varied. Payroll should not be able to be run as far back for one group of employees as for another.
  • For some employees, payroll should not be run at all.

Requirements

Determine how many payroll areas you require in your enterprise.

Standard settings

The SAP standard system contains country-specific payroll areas for common employee groups.

Activities

  1. Check the payroll areas supplied in the standard system and add any new ones you require.
  2. Assign a period parameter to each payroll area.
  3. Define the payroll areas for which payroll should be run.
  4. Assign different date modifiers to payroll areas that have the same period parameter but are to have a different pay date.
    5. Caution
    You may no longer change the period parameters or the date modifier of a payroll area for which payroll has already been run. If you want to run payroll for an employee from a certain point in time with a different periodicity or with a different payment date, assign this instead to a different payroll area.
