This step contains information on how to create and make entries for your own user-specific wage types using prototypes.

Often wage types of a certain kind (for example, bonuses, basic pay) are almost identical both online as well as in how they behave in payroll. For these wage types, SAP recommends the following procedure which compared to copying and coding all wage types is considerably quicker:

First you make a copy of one wage type of each kind as a "prototype" and make all of the required specifications. Then you can use the prototype as a template for all the other wage types that have the same characteristics and codes. Once you have given characteristics to the prototype, create all the other wage types of this kind by copying the prototype.

Example

In your enterprise you need different wage types for bonuses for hazardous or unpleasant work. These wage types are identical with regard to their dialog characteristics and how they behave in payroll. They only differ in how they are used, that is, in the amount of the bonus to be paid and in the reason that causes the bonus to be paid. The standard SAP system contains model wage types for bonuses for hazardous or unpleasant work. Copy these wage types and make the specifications for your online and payroll characteristics - this is your prototype wage type. Then copy the prototype and make the specific changes to the individual copies, if necessary.

Recommendation

  • Please note, however, that you can only carry out the procedure described above if you have detailed knowledge of the Personnel Administration and Payroll component. Before you create prototypes, you should check to see how they are to be used and processed in the system.
  • So that you can identify errors that occur as quickly as possible, you should keep an exact record of all the settings defined for your prototype. To do this, use the implementation guide's note function.
  • Please note the customer name range for wage types before you create your copy wage types: All SAP model wage types begin with a letter or a symbol, customer wage types must begin with a number. Therefore, before you copy the wage types for the individual infotypes, you should determine which wage types are to be copied to which number range. How you actually create your own customer wage types by copying the relevant prototypes is described in the step Copy prototype wage types. Because you have to enter the individual prototype wage types manually, you should make a note of your prototypes. Use the implementation guide note function to do this.

Procedure

  1. Get an idea of all the wage types that you need.
  2. Determine which wage types are to be created using the procedure described above, that is, which of your wage types are identical with regard to their dialog and payroll characteristics.
  3. Work through the sections entitled "Wage Types" in this implementation guide. In these sections, create your prototypes for each infotpye and make the specifications for these in your dialog characteristics.
  4. If you have implemented the Payroll component, code the prototypes in the relevant implementation guides with regard to how they are processed in payroll.
  5. Once you have created and configured all of your prototypes, create the remaining wage types by copying the respective prototypes in the step "Create user-specific wage types" contained in this implementation guide.
