Copying Wage Types

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to copy wage types in the wage type catalog

Wage Type Copying

You can use the wage type copier to copy the SAP sample wage types. These copies can be used as your wage types and you can also modify them to meet your specific requirements.

The wage types that you create via the copy method are included in the same wage type groups and tables as the original wage type from which you copied. You can use the log to check what was copied.

Creating Wage Type Catalog

When you copy the wage types, make sure you also copy the following:

  • Model wage type characteristics that determine how the wage types behave in dialog characteristics
  • Characteristics that determine how the wage types behave in payroll

Individual Steps of the Copy Procedure

You can check and modify the characteristics relevant for payroll when you carry out the payroll Customizing activities.

After copying all the wage types, you can check the individual tables to which your customer wage types were copied.

After copying the model wage types to customer wage types, you can also modify the copied wage types to suit to your specific requirements.

Wage Type Catalog

A wage type catalog consists of wage types for each infotype from which you can copy the new wage type using an existing one so that all the table entries are updated automatically.

The SAP system contains sample wage types that meet some of your company's requirements.

All model wage types start with a letter. Your own wage types, that is, the copies of model wage types, must start with a number.

How To Copy Wage Types

Using the Project IMG, you will define wage types by copying from the sample wage types in the SAP system.

Steps

  1. Process the wage type catalog in the IMG: Copy the Standard hourly pay (MM10) , the Standard Bonus (MM20) , and the Performance Bonus (%)(MM30) to create customer wage types that start with your group number ( ##10 , ##20  and ##30 ). Enter a text for the new wage types that includes your group number. When you create a copy, the system displays all tables that are affected.

    1. In the Project IMG, choose Personnel Management→Personnel Administration – Payroll Data→Basic Pay→Wage Types→Create Wage Type Catalog.

    2. In the Wage Type Maintenance dialog box, select the Copy function.
