Documentation

Definition

A payroll accounting area (which is often abbreviated to payroll area) is an organizational unit containing all of the employees for whom the payroll runs at the same time.

Use

The payroll usually runs for payroll accounting areas. Each payroll accounting area determines the specific dates for which the payroll runs, the earliest payroll period for which retroactive accounting is possible, retroactive accounting recognition, and the periods for which the payroll runs.

Supplementary Documentation - ABKRS 0001

Definition

The payroll subunit has two functions:

  • It selects data from the sequential file for report RPRFIN00. Records for employees in this payroll subunit are selected.
  • It determines the posting period automatically if it has not been specified already.
    • RPRIRB00 is started from RPRFIN00:
      The payroll subunit determined by RPRFIN00 is used to determine the period. Any entry made by the user is ignored.
    • RPRIRB00 is not started via a different report:
      The default value or the user's own entry is used.

Use

This field defines the payroll accounting area valid for the reference personnel number in the validity period of the current infotype record.

All reference personnel numbers of an employee which are to be accounted simultaneously must have the same payroll accounting area. The reference personnel numbers chosen for the current priority must therefore have the same payroll accounting area.

If this field is empty, the reference personnel number is not assigned to a payroll accounting area in the period specified.

Supplementary Documentation - ABKRS 0003

Use

This field defines the payroll accounting area valid for the reference personnel number in the validity period of the current infotype record.

All reference personnel numbers of an employee which are to be accounted simultaneously must belong to the same payroll accounting area. The reference personnel numbers which you choose from the Reference Personnel Numbers infotype (0031) must belong to the same payroll accounting area.

If this field is empty, the reference personnel number is not assigned to a payroll accounting area in the period specified.

Supplementary Documentation - ABKRS 0004

Use

This field specifies the payroll subunit to which the reference personnel number belongs in the validity period of the previous infotype record.

If the field is empty, the reference personnel number is not assigned to a payroll subunit in the corresponding period.

If a payroll is run for a personnel number together with its reference personnel numbers, the reference personnel numbers assigned to the employee that must be included in the payroll run must all be in the same payroll subunit.

Use

This entry is used in the Validation data block.

Enter a value in this field if the work file to be processed originates from an evaluation of a periodic payroll run.

If you have maintained the personnel control record for the payroll area (this is MANDATORY in the production system), you can use it to determine the payroll period and payroll year which are written automatically to the next two fields. This allows you to create variants which you can use several times without having to make any changes.

Note: The payroll area, period and year are also used as validation data. If the items in your work file are incompatible with this data, they are ignored. Ignored items are listed separately when you transfer data to FI/CO.

This entry is used in the Special selections from posting data block.

By entering a selection option, you can delimit the payroll areas to be transferred which enables you to divide the posting data into several subsets. To ensure that these subsets can be posted separately, they must not overlap.
