 The operation ADDWT is used to transfer wage types to an internal table. An internal table is a data structure that can store multiple records of the same type. The operation ADDWT can be used in personnel calculation rules (PCRs) or schemas to manipulate wage types. The syntax of the operation is:

ADDWT&XXXX

where XXXX is the four-digit wage type number. The operation will add the wage type XXXX to the internal table IT, which is a predefined table that contains all the wage types for the current payroll period. The operation will also perform some checks and validations, such as:

• If the wage type XXXX does not exist in the payroll cluster, the operation will create it with the default attributes from the wage type table T511.
• If the wage type XXXX already exists in the internal table IT, the operation will add the amount and number fields of the new wage type to the existing one, unless the wage type is cumulative or additive.
• If the wage type XXXX is cumulative or additive, the operation will create a new line in the internal table IT with the same wage type number, but with a different line counter.
• If the wage type XXXX has a time unit, the operation will convert the time unit to the payroll period unit, using the conversion factors from the table T510S.

The operation ADDWT can also be used with modifiers, such as:

• N: to suppress the creation of a new wage type if it does not exist in the payroll cluster.
• K: to keep the original attributes of the wage type from the payroll cluster, instead of using the default attributes from the wage type table T511.
• A: to add the wage type to the internal table IT without any checks or validations.

 Before running a payroll in SAP HCM Payroll for SAP S/4HANA, you need to perform certain activities. These include:

• Generate Payroll Periods: Payroll periods are essential as they define the frequency of payroll runs. They could be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc., depending on the organization’s policies.
• Create Control Records: Control records in SAP HCM Payroll are used to control the payroll status of an employee or a group of employees. They ensure that no changes can be made to master data or time data affecting the payroll past or present during a payroll run1.

Creating organizational units and assigning cost centers to positions are not directly related to the configuration needed before running a payroll. They are more related to the organizational structure and cost accounting respectively.

Operation ADDWTE* is used to add a wage type to the results table (RT) with a specified amount and number. The wage type can be either a constant value or a variable from the input table (IT). The operation can also be used to modify an existing wage type in the RT by adding or subtracting the amount and number. The operation has the following syntax:

ADDWTE*nnnnnAmmmmmB

where nnnnn is the wage type, A is the operator (+ or -), mmmmm is the amount or variable, and B is the number or variable. For example:

ADDWTE*1000+1000.00

This operation adds wage type 1000 to the RT with an amount of 1000.00 and a number of 1.

ADDWTE*1000+VARGB

This operation adds wage type 1000 to the RT with an amount of VARGB and a number of 1.

ADDWTE*1000+1000.00-2

This operation adds wage type 1000 to the RT with an amount of 1000.00 and a number of -2.

ADDWTE*1000-VARGB

This operation subtracts VARGB from the amount of wage type 1000 in the RT and leaves the number unchanged.

 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 =
