Maintaining Additional Payroll Data using Infotype Mashups

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to maintain specific payroll information by using infotype mash-ups.

The Use of Infotype Mash-Ups

The Requirement of Maintaining Additional Payroll-Relevant Data for an Employee

. As stated earlier, for payroll to run correctly in Employee Central Payroll, the HR/payroll administrator must maintain additional payroll-relevant data for each employee. Some data, such as tax information, is required to process the payroll runs. Other data, such as loans, garnishments, or additional tax details, are not mandatory for a successful payroll run. If relevant to the employee, this data will impact the payroll result.

There are business use cases when these infotypes need to be maintained even though they are not related to a specific employee lifecycle event. An example could be maintaining Garnishment for an employee.

Infotype Mash-Up

This information is maintained via Infotype mash-up. The maintenance of payroll-specific data is done directly in Employee Central Payroll infotypes. These infotype screens are integrated into the Employee Central system, also called mash-ups, and are accessed via Employee Files in Employee Central. Data maintained via the infotype mash-up screen is saved directly in Employee Central Payroll.

Note

A user requires permissions in Employee Central, as well as infotype-specific permissions in Employee Central Payroll, to maintain the data using either of the two methods mentioned here.

Payroll Data Viewing in Full Profile.

Payroll Information Cards.

The Payroll Information Cards provide employees with a clearer, card-based view of their payroll data. Each category of information—such as Tax, Social Insurance, Earnings, and Deductions is displayed on its own card, allowing for easier review and navigation. Administrators can also access and view employees’ cards.

Payroll Replication Details Card.

The Payroll Replication Details Card helps administrators monitor employee master data replication.

It shows:

  • The status of the last replication (Successful, Pending, Failed, or Awaiting Processing).
  • The date and time of the last replication.
  • A direct link to the Data Replication Monitor for quick follow-up

Maintain Payroll Information with Infotype Mash-Ups

For employee Mark Brown ##, a new garnishment is added by Emily Clark. This is done with mashups.

Note

In this example, the mashups are specific for the USA.

In Employee Central (EC), Emily has to insert the garnishment order, infotype 0195, for Mark Brown ##. She chooses New, enters all mandatory information, and saves the infotype.
