record during each phase.
14. Released Payroll:
At this stage, the Payroll Control Record is set to
"Release for Payroll".
Past and present HR Master Data is locked for those
particular employees. However ,future dated changes
in master data are permitted in your SAP system.
If the payroll is released from the "Exit" stage, the
system rolls into the next payroll period, increases the
payroll area period number by 1 in the Payroll Control
Record (for example, from period 01/2008 to 02/2008).
15. Start Payroll:
You execute the payroll run for one payroll area, for the
payroll period defined in the Payroll Control Record.
If errors occur, you will get a list of employees rejected
during the payroll run. The system has stored the
employees rejected during the payroll run in
something called "Matchcode W".
16. Corrections:
At this stage, the Payroll Control Record is set to "Released
for Correction".
Past and present HR Master Data for those particular
employees is now unlocked for corrections.
Once you have made the appropriate corrections, you need
to Release Payroll and Start Payroll usingMatchcode W,
which will only select the employees that were rejected
during the previous payroll run.
You can cycle between the "Corrections" and "Released
Payroll" stages as many times as necessary.
17. Exit Payroll:
At this stage, the Payroll Control Record is set to Exit
Payroll.
Past and present HR Master Data for those particular
employees is now unlocked in your SAP system.
The payroll run is closed off for the particular
period. You cannot go backwards in respect to payroll
results.
