Documentation

Definition

When you change employee data that is relevant to payroll, the system stores the earliest date from which the master data change is valid.

This date can be a future date after the last payroll run.

Use

The payroll program uses this date to determine if and, if so, from when, a payroll run must be carried out again in order to take the master data change into account. Depending on the control record status, the system automatically triggers either retroactive accounting or a repeat payroll run.

Procedure

Examples

You have run payroll for an employee up to March 31. There is a change in the master data of an infotype which is relevant for payroll:

  • The start date is 09.06.1998; the date in the Earliest master data change is set to 09.06.1998. Retroactive accounting is not performed during the next payroll run.

  • The start date is 04.03.1998; the date in the Earliest master data change field is set to 04.03.1998. This period is recalculated in the next payroll run.

Dependencies

You can set retroactive accounting relevance either per infotype (infotype features) or per field (fields related to retroactive accounting).

Note

  • The system deletes the date in the Earliest master data change field after successful completion of the payroll run.

    Exception: If the employee has a status other than '0' or '7' in time management (infotype planned working time (0007)) and is not present for the total specific payroll dates evaluation results (cluster B2), payroll fills the field with the first day on which the time evaluation result is available.

  • The time evaluation program also sets this field using the function CHECK RPR.
