Scope and Purpose of the Article

This document can be used as a First Step to understand how a payroll schema controls a payroll driverprogram. The exercise detailed here gives a basic understanding on how to Create and Edit a schema, andhow the payroll driver program responses to changes made in the schema.

Pre-requisites

The readers are expected to have a good understanding of Payroll process in SAP. Basic knowledge offollowing objects is helpful.

1. Payroll Area

2. Payroll Control Record

3. Payroll Driver program

4. Schema (Editor)

Create a Schema

The Payroll schema we are going to create is for an Organization TEST.

Country grouping chosen is Australia.

Naming Convention used is as follows:

Z To represent a customer schema

T First letter of the company name

nn A unique sequence number

Step1: Create schema ZT01

In this exercise we are going to copy SAP standard Payroll Accounting schema for Australia (Q000) into acustom schema ZT01. You can choose to copy any standard schema X000 where X stands for the Countrycode. For example U000(USA), D000(Germany), etc

Transaction: PE01.

Provide standard schema name, copy that into ZT01. The steps involved are explained with the screen shotsbelow.

Attributes for schema ZT01 is created automatically. Country grouping is assigned based on that of theparent schema and program class is by default C for Payroll. You can choose Country grouping * if it isapplicable to All Countries.

Step2: Edit schema ZT01

Transaction: PE01.

Edit schema ZT01 to comment the line which calls the Payroll Initialization subschema QIN0.

Subschema QIN0 is to initialize the payroll program. Comment the line COPY QIN0. A star in column D is tocomment a line in the schema editor.

Save schema ZT01.

Copy Payroll Initialization schema QIN0 to ZT02.

Schema attributes are created automatically.

Step4: Edit schema ZT02

Transaction: PE01.

Edit schema ZT02 to uncomment the line CHECK ABR if it is commented. Save schema ZT02.

CHECK ABR function performs the tasks:

1. Checks if the payroll period is set according to the schema.

2. Check if the payroll area has been released for payroll. If not, the payroll area is excluded.

3. Checks if there are future payroll results for the employee. If yes, payroll is not run for thisPersonnel number.

COPY ZT01 - ZT01 is copy of main payroll schema Q000, where call to Initialization schema QIN0 iscommented.

Create payroll control record

Transaction: PA03.

Payroll area chosen in this exercise is S1 TEST Payroll area

Set the Payroll control record status to Released for Payroll and Save.

Current Pay period is 13/2007 as per the control record.

Run the Payroll Driver

To run the Payroll driver program, Transaction PC00_ Mxx _CALC can be used. xx is the Country groupingcode. For example PC00_M13_CALC is transaction to run payroll program for Australia.

The SAP standard payroll driver program is RPCALCX0, where X is the Country code. For example driverprogram for the USA is RPCALCU0, for Australia it is RPCALCQ0, etc. This can be executed as any normalreport program as well, using SE38 or SA38 transactions.

The Variant is set as in below screen shot.

Payroll driver is set to run for period 15/2007 for the given personnel number. Payroll area is S1 and payrollschema used is ZT00.

Execute the program.

Payroll log with Error message is displayed. Payroll period requested (15/2007) is incompatible with theperiod set in Payroll Control Record (13/2007).

Note: If Test Run(no update) check box is selected in the payroll driver selection screen, this instructs thedriver program to skip the check for control record. A simulation run will take place without any regard for thecontrol record.

Let us edit the schema to skip the check for payroll control record.

Edit schema ZT02

Transaction PE01, Enter ZT02, Edit Source Text.

Comment the line CHECK ABR. It is meant to check the Payroll Control record (PA03) for compatibility incase of real time payroll run.

Save the schema.
