Hi Experts,

Please let me know the difference in terms of functionality and role in payroll of the below tables:

T549Z ( Calender for payment model) v/s T54C1 ( Calender for cumulation)

Thanks in advance.

Ravi,

Payment models are used to define the periods for Infotype 14 (recurring payments) records. This may be useful if you pay employees more often than once per month. For example, you may have a payment model to define a payment to be made on the first payroll of the month, only. The payment would not be made on the second payroll of the month.

Cumulations define how payrolls are accumulated in the various totals (month, quarter, and year). For example, if you pay monthly, you may want the January, February, and March payrolls to cumulate to form the first quarter payrolls. You have to configure this table in order to define this requirement. You could also define the first quarter as the February, March, and April payrolls, if the table is configured that way.

T549Z is not just for IT14 payments. In our shop it lets us figure out what Payroll Month our Bi-Weekly Pay Periods are in and we use it in combination with T549X to determine whether some of our Benefit Plans should have a payroll deduction in that period or not. T54C1 tells us what dates Payroll is scheduled to be run, what date it is posted to FI and what date the Employee get's his paycheck.

So different shops use them in different ways.
