SAP Payroll Configuration and Processing

Payroll is the one process where an error is visible to every employee immediately and to the revenue authority shortly afterwards, and where a configuration mistake repeats until somebody stops the run. This course covers running it safely. Delegates work through the payroll structures underneath: employee groupings, payroll areas, periods and the control record that governs a run. Wage types are covered in depth, including characteristics, processing classes and the evaluation classes that decide how a wage type behaves. The payroll schema and rules are addressed at the level needed to read and trace a calculation rather than write one from scratch. Retroactive accounting is covered, since this is where most unexplained results originate. Statutory deductions, third party remittance and posting to accounting follow. Off cycle payments and corrections are addressed. The course closes on the payroll calendar, on parallel running during a change, and on the reconciliation done before every release.
