Overview of Payroll Process in SAP

Payroll is a process to calculate the salary and wages of permanent and temporary employees of an organization. Payroll calculation considers an employee’s attendance, bonus, overtime, tax rules and other information to generate the pay slip of that employee. Payroll can be run daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly depending on the salary cycles of the organization.
The following flow chart  gives depiction of the SAP HR  payroll process along with the status of the control record during each phase.

Released Payroll:

• At this stage, the Payroll Control Record is set to "Release for Payroll".
• Past and present HR Master Data is locked for those particular employees. However ,future dated changes in master data are permitted in your SAP system.
• If the payroll is released from the "Exit" stage, the system rolls into the next payroll period, increases the payroll area period number by 1 in the Payroll Control Record (for example, from period 01/2008 to 02/2008).

Start Payroll:

• You execute the payroll run for one payroll area, for the payroll period defined in the Payroll Control Record.
• If errors occur, you will get a list of employees rejected during the payroll run.  The system has stored the employees rejected during the payroll run in something called "Matchcode W".

Corrections:

• At this stage, the Payroll Control Record is set to "Released for Correction".
• Past and present HR Master Data for those particular employees is now unlocked for corrections.
• You should make appropriate corrections to fix the payroll errors.
• Once you have made the appropriate corrections, you need to Release Payroll and Start Payroll using Matchcode W, which will only select the employees that were rejected during the previous payroll run.
• You can cycle between the "Corrections" and "Released Payroll" stages as many times as necessary.

Exit Payroll:

• At this stage, the Payroll Control Record is set to Exit Payroll.
• Past and present HR Master Data for those particular employees is now unlocked in your SAP system.
• The payroll run is closed off for the particular period.  You cannot go backwards in respect to payroll results.

Payroll Area

• Typically an organization have a variety of employee types who are paid at different pay frequencies. For example, blue collar workers are paid weekly, white collar employees are paid monthly , part time employees are typically paid bi-weekly.
• Payroll Area groups employees together on the same payroll run frequency (semi-monthly, monthly, etc.).
• When executing a payroll for a particular payroll area all employees belonging to that payroll are processed. This avoids the need for running payroll individually for employees who are paid at same frequency

Payroll Periods

• Records of payroll run for earlier months an employee are always stored for tax, audit and retro purposes. Suppose the current month is Oct 2010 and you want to refer to the payroll results for the month of Jan 2010 for an employee who is paid on monthly basis. It surely is easy to look for this data. But what if the employee is configured to be paid every 9 days and you want to know what his 16th payslip, for the current financial year ,looked like. How do you go about searching for this data ? Inconvenient isn't it ? Well, Enter Payroll Periods.
• Payroll Periods represents the period for which regular payroll is run.
• It is identified by a period number and a payroll year.

• The payroll period includes a "start date", an "end date". In the above example period 01 for payroll area xx has start date 01/01 and end date 01/31
• For each payroll area, payroll periods are generated for current and future years.
• When generating payroll periods, the period number depends on the period parameter (semi-monthly, monthly, etc.) and the start of the fiscal year. For example, for countries for which the financial year starts in April, payroll period "01 2010" represents the payroll period for April 2010.

Pay Day:

• Its the date the salary is credited to bank account of the employee.
• Pay Day differ from organizations to organizations. Some pay on the last working way of the month.Some companies pay last months salary on the 10th of the current month.

• Payroll Status: This section indicates, with a green tick, at what stage a payroll run is currently in.  It also defines the current payroll period with exact dates and indicates how many times a payroll has been run.
• Earliest Retro Acctg Period: This section indicates the greatest earliest payroll period for retroactive accounting.
• Last Change to Personnel Control Record:strong> This section indicates who triggered a change to the Payroll Control Record, when, and what change occurred.

In the Payroll Control Record screen, you can use the following buttons:

What is Off Cycle Payroll? SAP IT267

3 minutes

---

Details

Last Updated: 22 December 2017

Off-cycle Payroll runs are used to make payments outside the regular payroll run like one time bonuses.   ThePayroll Control Record needs to be in the Exit Payroll stage, and the off cycle run  MUST be executed after the pay date of the regular payroll run.
For example, if the current payroll period is from 01.07.2010 and 31.07.2010, and the pay date is 20.07.2010, then you can execute off-cycle payroll runs between 21.07.2010 and the date you release the Payroll Control Record for the next payroll run.
There are 3 main types of off-cycle payroll run in SAP:

• Off-Cycle Bonus Payment (Type A):  Considered to be one-off bonus payment, it can also be used to reimburse employees for expense claims.  Data is entered via infotype 0267 (Additional Off-Cycle Payments).  When executing a "Start Payroll", you need to enter the "Reason for Payroll" field according to the desired calculation type. 

• Off-Cycle Correction Accounting (Type B): Considered to be adjustment runs, it is used for late overtime or anything that did not make it into the regular payroll run.  Data is entered just like a regular payroll run (i.e., IT2001, IT2010, IT0014, IT0015). When executing a "Start Payroll", you need to enter the "Reason for Payroll" field with the corresponding reason type.

• Off-Cycle Christmas Bonus Payment or SAC (Type S):  Christmas Bonus (SAC) can be paid with the regular payments run (June and December) or on a special Payroll run before the regular one. Data is calculated automatically by the system, based on the payment date and the configuration in tables T511K and V_T7AR75.

Lets consider Off Cycle Payment Type A-
STEP 1) Create IT267
Go to Transaction PA30

1. Enter a Pernr
2. Select Infotype 267
3. Click Create

Enter

1. Wage Type
2. Amount
3. Payment Date for the Offcycle Run -(the day offcycle payment will credited in employees bank account)
4. Offcycle Reason
5. Click Save

STEP 2) Run Off Cycle Payroll
In Payroll Accounting program ,Enter

1. Payroll Area
2. Pernr
3. Offcyle Reason
4. Offcycle Type and Date
5. Payroll Schema
6. Click Execute

Check the results

Once you have executed an off-cycle payroll run, you also need to:

• Execute an off-cycle bank transfer.
• Post off-cycle results to GL

The process is similar to that of regular payroll run in SAP
