All wts must be assigned to a wt group dialog

All WTs must be assigned to a WT group

Dialog Characteristics

 All model WTs start with a letter, own WTs, (copies of model WTs), must start with a
number
 You can check and modify the characteristics relevant for payroll when you carry out
the payroll Customizing activities
Permissibility of WTs in Infotypes

 If you want to use a wage type in several infotypes, you have to enter a key for itin
the permissibility tables of the respective infotypes
 When you simply configure a wage type, you can determine whether it can be
entered once or more than once per payroll period. You cannot enter a wage type
several times in the Basic Pay infotype

Permissibility of WTs for Certain Employee Subgroups/Personnel Subareas
You can use personnel subarea groupings for primary wage types to define wage type
permissibility for a specific enterprise structure, or employee sub group groupings for
primary wage types to define wage type permissibility for a personnel structure
 Defining ESGs for primary WTs means that you group your employee subgroups
(ESGs)
 Can use these groups to determine which WTs can be entered for which employees

 Can also group personnel subareas, which enables you to control WT permissibility
for each Personnel Subarea
 When grouping personnel subareas, you can use both ESGs & personnel subareas
(PSA) as the grouping basis, or can limit yourself to 1 of the options

Lesson: Wage Type Characteristics
Can define the following WT characteristics:
 Validity period
 Operation indicator
 Minimum & Maximum WT amount, if applicable
 Whether or not WT amount should be included in basic pay total
 Default units of time/measurement, min & mx number
 Input combinations for number & amount
 Indirect valuation & its characteristics

Indirect Valuation of WTs
Direct Valuation:
 Amount that is to be used to valuate the WT, is entered in infotype manually
Indirect Valuation
 System automatically calculates the WT amount & enters it in the infotype
 System imports & calculates the WT amount from the table
 If valuation table changes, system will automatically change HR master data record
in accordance with start/end date, avoids mass data changes
 System can perform indirect valuation for the following infotypes:
o Basic Pay (0008)
o Recurring Payments/Deductions (0014)
o Additional Payments (0015)

 Can indirectly valuate a WT by specifying a module name & variant
 Indirect valuation means that the system reads the amount from a table & you don’t
have to enter it manually in infotype
 Valuation rule is defined centrally, which means that you do not have to change
master data records when you change the valuation

The module TARIF has four variants (A - D), which have the following meaning:
 A - Valuation is based on the pay scale group and level
 B - Valuation is based on pay scale group/level and specific wage type
 C - Valuation does not depend on pay scale level
 D - Valuation does not depend on pay scale group or level
