In this step, you find out which wage types you need to transfer and the importance of the time point chosen for the transfer.

NOTE: Before carrying out the first payroll, you need to transfer the wage types to the SAP system using schema ALK0.

Requirements

The master data must be transferred before the payroll account is transferred. Note the following in connection with this:

  • The Actions (0000), Organizational Assignment (0001), and Personal Data (0002) infotypes must contain the actual start date. All other infotypes are assigned the date of the first transfer of legacy data as the start date, provided the employee in question has not entered the company at a later date.
  • Absences (first illnesses, subsequent illnesses) must be recorded at least one year before the first payroll run. Set up the personal calendar (using report RPTGENA0) for the appropriate time period.

For more information, see Data Transfer Workbench: Personnel Master Record.

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you ALWAYS start the productive payroll run for the SAP system at the beginning of the year due to the following reasons:

  • At the beginning of the year, there are fewer wage types to be transferred.
  • This significantly reduces the risk of a difference in amounts that results from a mix of several transferred periods from the legacy system with processed payroll periods from the SAP system.

If, however, for organizational reasons, you are unable to carry out the first productive payroll run until a later month, all original payroll runs as of January of the current year up to the month of the first productive run must be carried out in advance. In addition, only the wage types up to the twelfth period of the previous year are to be transferred. These wage types are described below.

  • Do not forget to take into account the posting documents that are created as a result of retroactive accounting.
  • This also applies for payment runs using a data medium preliminary program (report RPCDTAA0). Make sure that the payments for wages/salaries that are calculated again in such a payroll run and have already been cleared by the legacy system are not paid out again.

Activities

  1. Decide which wage types you want to transfer from previous periods.
  2. You must code these wage types accordingly in the processing classes 06 and 30 in table T512W (Wage Type Valuation). To subsequently see an overview of all coded wage types, use report RPDLGA20 (Use of Wage Types in Payroll).
  3. Transfer all relevant wage types from the previous year. These are stored in table T558B (Payroll Account Transfer: Payroll Periods) and T558D (Transfer Wage Types with Split Indicator). For more information, see the documentation for payroll function TRANS for transfer schema ALK0: Transfer Wage Types from Table 558D to IT.
  4. If you want to manage the extension of existing compulsory insurances (due to payment of leave compensation/factored leave compensation for leaving employees) with the SAP system, you need to transfer the following wage types:
    • /3ZK UE/UA: Cl.dy. total
    • /3ZP UE/UA: SI day rem.
    • /3ZQ UE/UA: Rem.curr.pay.basis
    • /3ZR UE/UA: Rem. SP basis
    • /3ZS UE/UA: EE SI ded. Rem.
    • /3ZS UE/UA: EE SI share
  5. If you have to tax leavings during the month with statutory severance pay in January, you need to transfer the following wage type:
    • /437 Average taxation %

      NOTE: Note that arrears payments liable for social insurance are no longer possible BEFORE the first productive run with the SAP system. In individual cases, you need to carry out these payments in your legacy system.

  6. Transfer the wage types (reserves, averages, and so on) that you want to transfer in addition to the standard SAP wage types for a sufficient amount of time. For the averages, you need to check your relevancy tests. For the reserves, you transfer the wage types that are created in subschema ARS0 (Valuation Bases Reserve Monthly Remuneration) and a customer-specific schema.

Complete the payroll account transfer as described under Transfer Payroll Accounts.

Further notes

What is placed in the RA cluster?

The wage types from table T558D are placed in the RT table. Depending on how the wage types are coded in processing class 30, they are also entered in tables CRT and SCRT. Entries are made in tables WPBP, ST, SV, and so on based on the master data available. Therefore, master data must be complete for the periods for which the payroll account transfer is carried out.
