U.K Payroll - IT0088 (SMP/SAP/SPP)

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have been assigned to implement Infotype 88 for a client already using SAP GB payroll but who did not have this infotype implemented initially for some strange reason.

Please can you advise on all the tasks involved in developing IT0088 including the creation of PCR(s)?

Many Thanks

Hi Andrew

IT0088 is part of GBSXP  (Phase 1 and 2 and 3 (RTI)) there have been quite a few changes.  The first thing you need to do is look at the documentation.  All available here

goto http://service.sap.com/erp-hcm

Then ----  Country Information --> Europe --> Great Britain --> Media Centre --> Statutory and Occupational Absences.

You are going to have to look at the current live data aswell and there are some go live features.

I know of another company who used IT0014 and IT0015 as their stat calculator, and they regretted it and took them a good couple of months to implement..

If you need any help, let me know.

I am advising the client I am currently working for to implement IT88 before their RTI implementation. At the moment they are using IT14 & IT15 to make their statutory payments. I believe there is no work around for this scenario and the only way forward is to implement IT88.

Would you suggest the same?

Many Thanks

Absolutely, that's exactly what you need to do. 

Is your client a member of the SAP User Group (http://www.sapusers.org)  Loads of support on the forums there, about RTI and GBSXP for you.

The actual setting of the maternity schemes are quite easy (as long as you have the latest HRSP's)  But you will need to review the GB01 schema to see where GBSXP comes into play (for current and retro)  By the sounds of it, its on a stat scheme anyway, so no 6 months at 100% etc.

I am hoping that the schema still calcs the AWE's....Otherwise when you move to IT88 you will have to do some manual calcs!

I honestly quite surprised that they use IT0014 and IT0015 to make the stat payments, do they offset it?

The amount of development work that must of been done for reporting and offsetting etc, what about the MATB1 details etc.

Good Luck, and if you do need anything else let me know.

I really appreciate your input on this.

I am also surprised that they are making their stat payments via infotypes 14 & 15, I have never seen this practice happening before at a client using SAP GB payroll.

I am not sure if they do offset it, as I am still in the very early stages of analyzing the this major gap.

I may well need your expertise again and will be in touch in the future.

Many Thanks

Hello Gary & Experts,

The client has decided that they do not want to implement IT88 as this would be a lot of work for them. Instead, they have proposed that a user exit/BADI be implemented to fill this gap and they are adamant that this can be done. I'm not sure if implementing a user exit/BADI can bridge the gap of not having IT88 for RTI.

Please advise?

Regards

I strongly suggest moving to IT0088 sooner rather than later.  This RTI from HMRC is a long term plan and SAP are working with them on it.  By not going standard you will have issues down the line when changes are put through for RTI, and not using standard will not be supported by SAP.  Might be worth raising a note with SAP, explaining that you have not implemented GBSXP and see what they say.  Maureen Gregory from SAP the GB Payroll owner might be able to help on that.

As I say, the more standard the better.

Thanks Gary

I am trying to get the client to agree on implementing IT88 but as they are moving away from SAP soon, they do not want to invest in the time and effort for this additional work. They just want to try and be RTI compliant with the non SAP standard system they currently have. I don't think they realize how complicated this could get.

Many Thanks

Hi All,

I have been advised that the client is using XREF for Z-Tables. By implementing IT88, will this have have any impact?

Thanks

Andrew
