Exercise Objectives

After completing this exercise, you will be able to:

• Adjust personnel calculation rule XMOD to meet customer requirements

• Create a constant valuation basis for a wage type

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 5.00 per hour. If the employee works outside during inclement weather, the wage type is entered as employee remuneration information.

Task 1:

1. In your personnel calculation rule ZM## (## = group number) within grouping 3 of the employee subgoup for personnel calculation rules, set MODIF 2 to the value xx (xx = ## + 50). This is for the Constant Wage Type Valuation table.

Call up the Constant Wage Type Valuation table and enter 5.00 as the amount under the payroll modifier xx for wage type 20## Bad weather bonus (starting January 01 of the current year).

Note: Wage type 20## has been created for you.

Task 2:

1. Assign employee remuneration information to your employee in payroll period 02 using wage type 20## for 10 hours (note: use the Number/Unit field to enter the value 10), and ensure that the date of the remuneration information lies within the payroll period. Then, run payroll for the payroll period using your selection variant. Review the payroll log to check that payroll has been run correctly for wage type 20##.

Do not exit payroll for this period.

Hint: You should work with three sessions for this and all the following exercises:

• One session for Customizing in the Implementation Guide

• One session for maintaining master data

• One session for the payroll menu

Solution 9: Creating Constant Valuation Bases

Task 1:

1. In your personnel calculation rule ZM## (## = group number) within grouping 3 of the employee subgoup for personnel calculation rules, set MODIF 2 to the value xx (xx = ## + 50). This is for the Constant Wage Type Valuation table.

Call up the Constant Wage Type Valuation table and enter 5.00 as the amount under the payroll modifier xx for wage type 20## Bad weather bonus (starting January 01 of the current year).

Note: Wage type 20## has been created for you.

a) Choose:

SAP Menu: Tools → Customizing → IMG → Execute Project In this course, you can either use the HR400 Payroll Configuration project or the Reference IMG. Push the SAP Reference IMG button if you want to work with it.

If you want to work with the HR400 project, you must first include it in your worklist. Choose Add to Worklist and select the project on the screen that appears. Choose Copy to add it to your work list.

To set the modifier for the Constant Wage Type Valuation table in the calculation rule, go to:

IMG → Payroll → Payroll International → Time Wage Type Valuation

→ Valuation Bases → Constant Valuation Bases → Define Wage Type-Dependent Constants

In the dialog box, choose the activity 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).

In the Graphical Editor, open employee subgroup grouping 3 for Payroll. Continue to open the structure until you reach the operation MODIF 2=01. With the cursor on this operation, select the Change Entry icon. Overwrite the value 01 with your modifier xx (xx = +## + 50, for example group 01 = 51). Select Enter to confirm the change.

Save the change and return to the dialog box.

To add an entry to the Constant Wage Type Valuation table, choose the Determine Constant Valuation per Wage Type in the dialog box.

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

PayMo xx (## + 50)

Wage type 20##

Start date 01.01. Current year

End date 12.31.9999

Value 5.00

Task 2:

1. Assign employee remuneration information to your employee in payroll period 02 using wage type 20## for 10 hours (note: use the Number/Unit field to enter the value 10), and ensure that the date of the remuneration information lies within the payroll period. Then, run payroll for the payroll period using your selection variant. Review the payroll log to check that payroll has been run correctly for wage type 20##.

Do not exit payroll for this period.

Hint: You should work with three sessions for this and all the following exercises:

• One session for Customizing in the Implementation Guide

• One session for maintaining master data

• One session for the payroll menu

a) To record wage type 20## for your employee and to run payroll, choose:

SAP Menu: Human Resources → Personnel Management → Administration → Maintain HR Master Data

Choose the infotype menu Working times. Select the infotype Employee Remuneration Info and choose Create. In the Wage type field, enter your wage type 20## and 10 (hours) in the Number/unit field. Make sure that the date is in the payroll period February. Save your record.

Then choose:

SAP Menu: Human Resources -> Payroll -> International -> Payroll -> Release Payroll (for period 02)

SAP Menu: Human Resources → Payroll → International → Payroll

→ Start Payroll

Use your selection variant:

Menu: Goto → Variants → Get

Run payroll and review the log to check that the wage types have been processed correctly. Open the log: Successful Personnel Numbers ->

400991## -> 02/current year -> Processing of Time Data -> MOD ZM## GEN. Review the input, processing, and output steps.

Next, review P2010 X930 GEN NOAB; review the input and output of this import function. Finally, review the input and output of the step PIT X015 GEN. At this point, your wage type should be valuated.

Do not exit payroll for period 02.

Lesson Summary

You should now be able to:

• Identify the types of constant remuneration

• Understand the evaluation of wage types using the XMOD rule in the schema
