using the round off operation ROUNDGK100 scenario

the requirement is say 6.15 for absneces and net to be rounded of to 6 and 6.60 for ex to be rounded of to 7.

workaround-the ROUNDGK100 operation can be included in the pcr to address this issue.
---------------



ROUND - Rounding Off Within Current Wage Type

Object

Operation

Use

The ROUND operation rounds off field values in the current wage type.

Syntax

OOOOOFSVVV

OOOOO ROUND Name of operation

F Number to be rounded
blank AMT field (total amount) is rounded
G AMT field (total amount) is rounded
A NUM field (number) is rounded
B RTE field (amount per unit) is
rounded

S Rounding method
blank commercial rounding
K commercial rounding
+ round up
- round down

VVV rounding divisor
the result of this rounding should be
divisible by VVV.

Examples

1. The amount (F=G) is commercially rounded to $ (VVV=100).

2. The number (F=A) is rounded up (S=+) to the the next number
divisible by 10 (VVV=10).

3. An amount is to rounded up to 100, e.g. 100, 200, etc. US dollars.

4. An amount is to be rounded to the next number divisible by 10.

Method

1. ROUNDGK100
2. ROUNDA+10
3. ROUNDG+100 to whole value of currency
RTE/100 divide amount by 100,
e.g. dollars
ROUNDG+100 round to the next number
RTE*100 multiply amount by 100,
e.g. cents
4. ROUNDG-100 ignore cents
RTE/100 divide amount by 100,
e.g. dollars
ROUNDGK10 round to next multiple of 10 dollars
RTE*100 multiply amount by 100
e.g.cents

Sick leave absence type deducting salary issue and changes in config to address the issue

Sick leave absence type when created is deducting salary for the employee and to address this we need to do the necessary configuration in payroll->XX(99 for ex)->absneces->desribe absnece valution rule

2. payroll->XX(99 for ex)->absneces->grpoup absnece for absnece valution

3. payroll->XX(99 for ex)->absneces->valuation of absneces(define and setup counting class )

Issue-Wage Type /565 and /566 (Carry-over for next month) created and work around

this technical wagetype is created if 0009 isnt maintained for employees and hence system created /565 and /566 wagetype and it will reflect in the nxt payroll run and will lead to differences.

if 0009 is checked and corrected this issue can be addressed.

In the Object field, enter HRPU and execute

We can check whether payroll results have been deleted, which payroll results have been deleted, and who deleted them.

if system throws an error when we try to delete results using TCD pu00/Pu01 then we can use report RPUDEL20 to delete the pyaroll results.also check the pu03 for payroll status to check the accounted to and earliest MD change fields.

PCR for OT(Over time) calculation

OT are Additional pay ments and will be paid thru IT0015 we need to write a PCR

say ZOT1 and include that after line P2010 in X000 schema

3 salaried employee

say our basic pay wagetype is 1000

esg grpng for PCR is 3

wagetype is 1000

then

AMT=1001 (here we set the amount- this is ur basic wage type)

AMT/30 ( we divide the amount with 30 days to get daily wage)

AMt/8 (this we get the hourly wage)

AMT*1.25 (here the result is getiing mulitpied with 1.25-depends on business req)

MULTI ANA(amount is multipled with number of hours stored in pa2010 and the result is stored in Amount)

Whats in store for you when exposed to an implementation project

He is trying to share his experiences ,hopes this will be helpful for one deployed in an clean slate implementation project.

Level one training in succinct is giving an overview of SAP modules in Scope(SOW).Giving the core users/end users etc an overview of what SAP does module wise(say SD,MM,FICO,HCM/HR etc)..This could be a day long activity depending on the attendees.

Level 2 -assuming attendees are now familiar with SAP(they now will get accustomed to calling it as S.A.P not SAP:)),this will be submodule specific training given to core users. HCM,for instance will be OM,PA,PY,TM,Recruitment etc.


Subsequent to this activity there will be an official kick off meeting (could be before aforementioned ) depending on the availability of steering committee,PM/program managers from both teams).

Then comes the workshops to gather the business process requirement (BBP workshops),continous interactions with core users to gather requirement about the functioning of business (legacy systems used,identify gaps,FRICE objects identification) and then preparing the document ,which will be outcome of the dicussions and signoff for the same.

FRICE are simply Forms,Reports,Interfaces,Conversions,Enhancement.
Forms could be say leave form that business currently using and this need to be developed using smartforms for ex.
Reports-we could use standard or customise it based on requirement
Interfaces -like they have an external system for time for ex
Enhancement-new infotype needs to be developed or an infotype need to be enhanced-add a new z field.

BBP doc will have the details like

Business Process:
AS-IS
TO-BE
Changes to Existing Organization
Functional Deficits - Gaps (If any)
What is the Approach to cover Functional Deficits
Input/Data required from other Functions (If any)
Output from this function send to others (If any)
System Configuration Considerations
Reports Required from this Business Process
Document/Forms Printed from this Business Process
Data Conversion Consideration
Authorization Specification
Sign Off for this Business Process

Then we will configure system,prepare master data upload and ask user to fill and share.User acceptance testing and then finally going live.

There will be loads of learning and experiences to share at the end of the journey (end of the project).

Assign Transaction Code to a Report

There are several advantages in assigning Transaction Codes to the Reports. One of them is that the users can access the report right from the SAP Menu screen by typing in the custom T-Code or by clicking on the favorite they may have already saved in the SAP Menu. They need not follow a 3-step SE38 procedure anymore. The second advantage is that it makes the SAP HR Security guy’s work easy as he can use this custom TCode to allow/block the access to this Report. In general, the HR Users are not allowed to access SE38 transaction.

Please follow the below procedure to create a Custom Transaction Code for an Ad-Hoc Query. This procedure assumes that you already have a saved query:

•Go to SAP Query transaction SQ01 and choose appropriate User Group (Use Shift + 7 to change the UG)
•Highlight the Query in the list below and go to Query -> More Functions. Click on Display Report Name as shown in the image below.

Displaying Report Name
•The name of the report appears in a small pop-up window. Copy the report name as shown in the image below.

Report Name
•Go to transaction SE93. Type the new Transaction Code to be assigned to the query and hit Create button.
•In the next screen, enter a Short Text for the T-Code and select Report Transaction radio button as shown below. Hit Enter

Creating a Custom TCode for a Report
•In the following screen, enter the report name you have copied from step 3 above in the Program field. You can also enter a variant to start the report with a default variant. Image shown below.

Assigning TCode to Report
•Upon clicking the Save button, you will prompted for a Package. Consult your BASIS person for the correct Package. Next, you will be prompted again to assign the report to a Transport Package. Enter appropriate Transport Package and hit Save button.
•You will receive a confirmation message that the Transaction Code was saved. Run the TCode to test it.

Personnel action type not showing in PA40 TCD

You might some time not get the personnel action type listed in PA40 TCD,in addition to all the config nodes,there is one table T588A -IMG maintainance doesnt exist .
in that t588a there is Transaction type -PA40 and Menu type and menu selection need to be checked from perious config activity.(Change action menu)PM->PA->Customising procedure->Actions->Change Action Menu

After creating entry in v_588b_m the same has to be mapped in T588A for PA40 TCD.

Find the SAP table name from SAP field name

His BI mate incidentally wanted to find a table name from data source which had field only,i wasnt quite sure and so tried to explore and found the way to find it

Go to se15-->ABAP Dictionary-->Fields-->Table Fields--:>Give the field name in selection screen-->Execute (F8)
It will show you list of tables where this field is used.

or

1.open se84.
2.you find abap- dictionary.expand that.
3.under this you find fields.expand fields.
4.click on structure name/table name.
there you give the field name then execute then you find the tables consisting of that particular field.

or

SE11->TABLE DD03L.

SAP Time Public holiday calendar

Lets say the business has 20 days public holidays and we are configuring them using SCAL TCD .
There are three options
Defining public holidays
assigning the public holidays with the Holiday calendar defined

He was wondering how the exact date is assigned after selcting fixed date ,it shows 01-31 days and thanks to his friend ,he was able to figure out it had to manually enterted and not chosen from the list.

Type of holiday is Fixed date chosen and you will find day and month in the public holiday definition.In the day field lets say 5thJan is public holida we need to manually enter 5th and chose Jan month from the list.(THOL-MOTAG)

Hope not to recreate a calendar one more time like he did.:)

SAP server landscape

Client in SAP system as we know is the highest independent entity and it has its own Master and transactional data.

100,200,400 etc.normally we find 800 as IDES(International Demonstration and Evaluation system)

client are simply logical partition of server.Changes made to tables in one client has to be transported for it to effect on other clients like quality,production so forth.

what do we normally find in the project -Sandbox,Golden client,Testing,Production

The above all are just descriptions and will point to an application server- XXX.XX.XXX.XXX

Sandbox is for playing around .
Golden is configration only client and what does that imply -you simply do configration using SPRO TCD.We collect the Transport Request in one project.plz chk spro_admin TCD

Testing client-The changes made in Golden client and TR collected is transported using SCC1 TCD.All the config we did in Golden will reflect now in Testing client.

If there is another QA client we can test else after baseline config and Unit testing and integration testing the requests are moved to Production system.


Hope this is useful.
