Setting Up Constant Valuation Bases

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to set up constant valuation bases

Constant Remuneration

  • For payroll, you can process the overtime that is not recorded automatically but entered on a time sheet.
  • The system chooses the time wage types to be used in the payroll run from a table.
  • The system processes PDC automatically.

You can process overtime entered on a time sheet in the following two ways:

  • You can add and enter the working times in the Employee Remuneration Information infotype (2010) with certain wage types (with the number of OT hours).
  • You can manually record the exact days and clock times of the employee in the Overtime infotype (2005).

The system then chooses the time wage types to be used in the payroll run from a table and processes PDC (plant data collection and time evaluation data) automatically.

In both the cases mentioned above, the wage types initially contain the number of overtime hours that the employee has worked. This number of hours is specified in the number field ( NUM) to be multiplied by a payable amount.

Valuation Using Wage Type-Dependent Constants

In payroll, a constant amount is the basis for valuation of a wage type. This amount does not depend on the employee’s organizational assignment or on any other characteristics.

Each wage type can have several entries denoting various validity periods.

Pay Scale-Dependent Constants

You must define the values for each pay scale level and wage type if the wage types are subject to constant valuation depending on their pay scale level assignment.

Note the various employee subgroup groupings for collective agreement provisions specified when the employee subgroups are defined.

Set Up Constant Valuation Bases

Business Example

Your company pays time wage types with amounts that vary depending on the employee’s organizational assignment. These time wage types include a bad weather bonus of EUR 5 per hour. If the employee works outside during inclement weather, the wage type is entered as employee remuneration information.

Create constant valuation bases and assign employee remuneration information to your employees.

Steps

  1. In your personnel calculation rule ZM## (## = group number) within grouping 3 of the employee subgroup for personnel calculation rules, set MODIF 2 to the value xx = ## +50 (for example, group 08 has the MODIF 2 value = 58). This is for the Constant Valuation per Wage Type table. Call up the Constant Valuation per Wage Type table (v_T510J) and enter following data:

    PMod. (Payroll Modifier)Wage TypeWage Type Long TextStart DateEnd DateValueCurrency
    xx= ## +5020##Weather Bonus01/01/Current year12/31/99995Euro

    1. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Tools→Customizing→IMG→Execute Project.

      Note

      In this course, you can either use the S4HR40 project (payroll configuration). If you want to work with the S4HR40 project, you must first include it in your worklist. Alternatively, you can also work with the Reference IMG. Choose SAP Reference IMG if you want to work with it.

    2. Choose Add to Worklist and select the S4HR40 project on the screen that appears.

    3. Choose the S4HR40 project and push the Copy (Enter) button to add it to your worklist.

    4. To set the modifier for the Constant Wage Type Valuation table in the calculation rule, perform the following steps:

      From the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Tools→Customizing→IMG→SPRO - Execute Project→project S4HR40 (or SAP Reference IMG)→Payroll→Payroll International→Time Wage Type Valuation→Valuation Bases→Constant Valuation Bases→Define Wage Type-Dependent Constants and choose IMG Activity.

    5. In the Choose Activity dialog box, choose Set modifier for constant valuation.

      Note

      The IMG automatically calls personnel calculation rule XMOD. Note that you have already copied it as personnel calculation rule ZM## and included it in your schema Z0## (## = group number).

    6. In the field Rule overwrite the value XMOD with the personnel calculation rule ZM## and select Change.

    7. In the Graphical Editor, open the following path: 3→****→MODIF 2=01. Position the cursor on the MODIF 2 operation and select the Change Entry icon.

    8. Overwrite the value 01 with your modifier xx (xx = ##+50 , for example, group 08 has the MODIF 2 value = 58). Press Enter and Save the change. Go back to the dialog box Select Activity.

    9. To add an entry to the Constant Valuation table, choose the Determine Constant Valuation per Wage Type in the dialog box and select the Choose (F2) button. A window, Determine Work Area: Entry appears. Enter 99 in the HCM Localization field and select Apply (Enter).

    10. Select New Entries and make the following entries in the table:

      PayModWage TypeWage Type Long TextStart DateEnd DateValueCurrency
      xx ( ##+50 )20##Weather Bonus01/01/ Current Year12/31/99995Euro

      Press Enter and choose Save.

  2. Start the transaction PA30 - Maintain HR Master Data for your employee with the personnel number 400991## and Create (F5) a new record infotype 2010 Employee Remuneration Info with following data:

     FieldValue
    DateDateDate in period 02, February <your choice>
    Remuneration infoWage type20##
     Number/unit10/Hours

    Then, run payroll for the payroll period 02 using your selection variant. Review the payroll log to check that payroll has been run correctly for wage type 20##.

    Note

    Do not exit payroll for period 02.

    1. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Human Resources→Personnel Management→Administration→HR Master Data→PA30 - Maintain.

    2. Enter your personnel number 400991## and choose the infotype menu Working times.

    3. Select the infotype 2010 - Employee Remuneration Info and choose Create (F5) and enter following data:

       FieldValue
      DateDateDate in period 02, February <your choice>
      Remuneration infoWage type20##
       Number/unit10/Hours

      Make sure that the date is in February before saving the entry. Press Enter and choose Save.

    4. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose (for period 02).

    5. Then on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Human Resources→Payroll→International→→Payroll→Start Payroll.

    6. From the main menu bar, select Goto→Variants→Get. Select your variant.

    7. Run payroll by choosing Execute (F8) and reviewing the log to check that the wage types have been processed correctly.

    8. Open the log: Successful personnel numbers→400991##→02/current year→Processing of Time Data→MOD ZM## GEN. Review the input, processing, and output steps.

    9. Next, review P2010 X930 GEN NOAB; review the input and output of this import function.

    10. Finally, review the input and output of the step PIT X015 GEN. At this point, your wage type should be valuated.

    Note

    Do not exit payroll for period 02.
