I want to change the payroll period from 21 st to 20 th cycle to 1 to 30 th in T549q table?

[former_member404578]

If i change that the payroll period of ten days ..i.e 21st to 30 th will be like 10 day period is created...whether i should change after running the payroll or i can go with this ten days partial period..in that case what will be the exact solution? Kindly suggest?

Table T549Q is only one of the many tables related to the Payroll Calendars, as you would see if you were to create a new Payroll Accounting Area.

If it is true that only a few Countries can reaffect an employee mid-period, then Aman's suggestion sounds good, but it does not mention what should happen to the employee from September 21 to 30. What should be the WorkPlaceBasicPay information? What will happen to Time Evaluation and Payroll Calculation for that period?

Ask your Basis Resource if you could have a Sandbox Environment where you could do some tests. If not, try creating the new PAA in your Development Environment and test the reassignment process on a few employees (different scenarios).

Hi Sriram,

Generally speaking, you should NOT change the payroll period Start and End dates once you Go-Live. HOWEVER, there are certain ways to change it. Here, I'm going to suppose that you're going to change from 1st October 2016 onwards. There are two approaches that you can take:

1. Run the payroll till 20th September 2016. Then create a new payroll area and for that payroll area, link it to a Period Parameter which has the periods generated from 1st to 30th of every month. NOW, there is a small hiccup in this plan, namely, the missing salary from 21st September to 30th September. There's really no automated way for this, so you will have to manually enter the wage types with the prorated amounts for the 10 days in IT0015.

2. This scenario is only for countries where you can change payroll area in the middle of an accounting period. Examples of such countries include Finland, Canada and USA. For such countries, you can basically run the payroll till 30th September and then change over the new payroll area on the 1st of October. Please note that very few countries support this though and as such, this solution is not applicable to all countries.

Please only try these solutions in a test system first.

Best Regards,

Aman

Hi Aman,

I have some questions.

You suggested to create a new payroll area, but do you think it would work with either creating a new period parameter or changing the dates of the current period parameter? My client wants to change the week start day from Monday to Sunday for bi-weekly('04').

I've done a quick test (still going) with a new period parameter. More work than I'd like and I haven't even considered time evaluation part yet.

Wonder what would happen if we change the start date of the pre-defined parameters? Are we even allowed to do that?

And I'm assuming that the retro should be prevented once we change the dates of pay period. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Thank you,

Euna

Hi,

You have to change it manually or generate payroll period after period for which payroll has already been run. Manual solution is better.

Thanks
