• When a personnel number is rejected in the payroll run, the system sets the Payroll Correction indicator in infotype 0003 (Payroll Status) for that employee1.
• When a personnel number is subject to master data changes in the correction phase, the system also sets the Payroll Correction indicator in infotype 0003 (Payroll Status) for that employee2.
• The Payroll Correction indicator means that the payroll results of the employee need to be recalculated in the next payroll run3.
• Therefore, the system uses the Payroll Correction indicator in infotype 0003 (Payroll Status) to identify the personnel numbers whose payroll results need to be recalculated in the next payroll run. References =

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, time wage types are selected during the payroll process. This selection is performed in the payroll subschema using the function GWT (Generate Wage Types). The time wage types are selected based on the processing type of a TIP entry1. Specifically, the TC00 schema (Wage Type Generation International) is used for this purpose2. References = 2, 1

The status of the payroll run can be viewed using the payroll control record. The payroll control record is used to control individual stages of the payroll run, including the release of the payroll, the correction phase, and the exit of the payroll run. During a payroll run, the payroll control record status prohibits changes to master data and time data that affect the payroll past or present1. References = SAP Help Portal, SAP Learning

 Factoring in SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA is used when an employee did not work for the whole payroll period, then a partial remuneration is calculated during the payroll run1. Factoring is used in the following cases: To reduce payments made to an employee because he or she joins, leaves, or is absent from the company during a period. To calculate remuneration for an exact period because of substitutions, changes in basic pay, organizational reassignments, or changes in the personal work schedule1. Therefore, the scenarios that cause factoring to occur when they happen in the middle of a pay period are when an employee has a basic pay change (Option B) and when a different work schedulerule is assigned (Option D). References = 1

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, processing classes determine how wage types are processed during the payroll run. Each processing class has its own specifications, with which each wage type is processed in a different way1. Specifically, processing class 10 is used to determine whether and how wage type amounts are to be reduced2. This means that if a wage type should be considered for factoring, it would be associated with processing class 10. References =

To define the time/measurement unit for a wage type, you need to maintain the Time unit / measurement field in the Wage type characteristics table (V_T511) in Customizing. This field determines the unit of measurement for the wage type, such as hours, days, or months. You also need to specify the Input combination field, which controls whether the wage type can be entered with an amount, a number/unit, or both. References = Wage Types | SAP Help Portal, Do not enter units for wagetype in an infotype15 | SAP Community

•  Conditions Day: This section specifies the days when the rule applies. Weekdays are highlighted, indicating the rule applies on weekdays. Public holidays (PH) are not highlighted, meaning the rule is not applicable on public holidays.
• Conditions Time: This section doesn't have any selections, so there are no time-based conditions for selecting the time wage type.

Therefore, considering weekdays are highlighted and public holidays are not, the only condition that aligns with selecting the time wage type isNOT on a public holiday.

• In the payroll period in which the absence begins (B): The system compares the cut-off day with the start date and the end date of an absence record1. If the cut-off day is later than the end date, the system continues with the standard absence valuation process1.
• On the actual dates in each affected payroll period ©: If the cut-off day is earlier than the start date, the system transfers the absence to the corresponding carry-over wage type, which is saved in an internal table for absence valuation in the next payroll period1.
• In the payroll period in which the absence ends (E): If the cut-off day is between the start date and the end date, the system splits the absence into two records: One record is from the start date to the cut-off day, for which the system continues with the standard absence valuation. The other record is from the cut-off day to the original end date, which the system saves in the carryover wage type and will evaluate in the next payroll period1. References =

The correct order to carry out the payroll process is as follows:

• Start payroll. The system calls up a country-specific payroll program and performs payroll using the values you entered in the payroll program1.
• Check result. You check whether payroll has run correctly, or determine where errors have occurred. If desired, you can obtain a detailed payroll log1.
• Exit payroll. You exit the payroll run and set the payroll area to “exit”. This locks the payroll area for the current payroll period and prevents any changes to the payroll-relevant data1. References = 1: The Payroll Process | SAP Help Portal

 The following infotypes are evaluated for factoring in payroll: Actions infotype (0000), Organizational Assignment infotype (0001), and Absences infotype (2001). These infotypes are used to determine an employee’s exact remuneration, the remuneration amount is multiplied by a partial period factor1. References =

 The function DAYMO (Day Grouping for Time Wage Type Selection) can use four parameters: PAR1, PAR2, PAR3, and PAR4. These parameters are used to specify the day grouping for time wage type selection, which determines how the entries of table T510S (Time Wage Type Selection) are checked for different types of days, such as working days, Sundays, and public holidays. The parameters are defined as follows:

• PAR1: Day grouping for working days
• PAR2: Day grouping for Sundays
• PAR3: Day grouping for public holidays
• PAR4: Day grouping for other days

The values of the parameters are numerical codes that correspond to the entries in table T510S. For example, if PAR1 is set to 1, then the function DAYMO will check the entries of table T510S that have the value 1 in the field Day grouping for time wage type selection. If no entry is found, then the function DAYMO will check the entries that have the value 0 in the same field. If PAR1 is set to 0, then the function DAYMO will check only the entries that have the value 0 in the field Day grouping for time wage type selection.

The function DAYMO is usually called in the subschema TC00 (Wage Type Generation: International) or TC04 (Wage Type Generation International for Time Evaluation Without Clock Times) before the function ZLIT (Cumulate Time Wage Types), which reads the time wage types from table ZL (Time Wage Types) and cumulates them according to the cumulation class and the cumulation wage type. References =

 Absences are processed during regular payroll runs using country-specific schemas. The absence valuation is carried out by the rule I015. This procedure consists in the multiplication of the number of the wage types generated from the function PAB by their amount per unit and it is showed in the internal table of the IT payroll1. Therefore, to include absence hours in the PARTA table, the wage type must be defined in absence valuation rules. References =

When processing a wage type in SAP Payroll, if there is no requirement to differentiate between employee subgroup groupings, you would leave parameter 3 blank when function PIT calls the rule to process the wage type1. This is because parameter 3 in the PIT function is typically used for relative time unit, and if set to ‘X’, it would mean WPBP for each time unit1. However, in this case, since there is no differentiation needed for employee subgroup groupings, parameter 3 should be left blank. References =

In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, WPBP is both a function and a table. As a function, WPBP (Import work center and basic pay data) is used to transfer master data on the work center and basic pay for the payroll period to internal table WPBP1. The basic pay wage types are stored in the internal table IT1. If all the fields of the table WPBP are the same during the entire payroll period, this table will contain one record1. As a table, WPBP is filled by the infotypes Actions (0000), Organizational Assignment (0001), Planned Working Time (0007), Basic Pay (0008), and Cost Distribution (0027). It contains important organizational and payment-relevant data, and different partial period parameters2.

 The Payroll Status infotype (IT0003) stores data on the Payroll status and Time Management status of an employee. It is created and updated automatically by the system during the hiring action, time evaluation, payroll run, or changes to the payroll past. The infotype contains fields that control the retroactivity of an employee’s time evaluation and payroll runs, such as:

• Earl.pers. RA date: Sets the exact date back to which the system can run retroactive accounting.
• Earliest MD Change: The program recognizes whether and when payroll must be repeated to take master data changes into account.
• MD Change Bonus: To perform retroactive Accounting in connection with bonus accounting.
• Payroll Correction: If the personnel number has been rejected or data has been changed in the correction phase. These fields determine how far back the system can go to recalculate the employee’s payroll results based on the changes made to the master data, time data, or payroll data. Data stored in this infotype should be changed only in exceptional cases, as these changes will affect the employee’s payroll processing and/or retroactive accounting. References =

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, the function used to select the time wage types for table DZL is GWT (Generate Wage Types). This function processes the entries of table T510S (Time Wage Type Selection), which contains the wage types that can be selected and the conditions that must be met for the selection of a wage type1. The function GWT is called in the schema (TC00 Wage Type Generation International or TC04 Wage Type Generation International for Time Evaluation Without Clock Times for Payroll, or in the standard time evaluation schemas1. References =

 The calculation rule X018 is used to calculate the average of the wage type based on the cumulative values stored in the AMT and NUM fields. The operation X018 divides the AMT field by the NUM field and stores the result in the RTE field. This operation is usually performed after the cumulation of the wage type values using the ADDCU operation. The X018 operation is relevant for the valuation of time wage types according to the principle of averages, which is used for payroll and leave valuation. References = Payroll Operations, Payroll Schema, SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, Free SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA Certification Sample Questions and Answers, Work Schedule Rule

 In SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, the function that generates time wage types on the TIP table is GWT (Generate Wage Types). This function processes the entries of table T510S (Time Wage Type Selection), which contains the wage types that can be selected and the conditions that must be met for the selection of a wage type1. References =

• Pnn:This option lets you specify a particular wage type using its number (e.g., P0008 for basic pay). This gives you precise control over which wage type the PCR will process.
• GEN:This option tells the PCR to process all wage types found in the Input Table (IT). It's useful when you need the rule to work with a range of wage types without specifying them individually.

Why the other options are incorrect:

• NOAB:This is a valid parameter but its primary function is to prevent a PCR from running multiple times for the same employee subgroup. It doesn't directly control which wage types can be accessed.
• ABART:This represents the Wage Type (Lohnartin German). While wage types are a core part of payroll processing, the ABART parameter itself doesn't directly specify which wage types the PIT function will access.

 The subschemas of the payroll main schema X000 are processed in the following order:

• XBDO: Edit basic data
• XTOO: Gross remuneration (Time Management)
• XAL9: Factoring and storage
• XEND: Final processing12 References =

• The retroactive accounting depth of SAP payroll is the earliest date from which the payroll results can be recalculated due to changes in master or time data.
• The retroactive accounting depth is determined by the following settings:
• The system uses the latest of these three settings as the retroactive accounting depth for each personnel number. For example, if the personal retroactive accounting date is 01.01.2024, the payroll control record date is 01.02.2024, and the hiring date is 01.03.2024, then the retroactive accounting depth is 01.03.2024. References =
