Hi,
In your scenario two ways you can validate the data.
1) Before the data reaches into SAP system ie in XI system during Mapping or before mapping i,e in Adapter Module in the Sender side
2) this option, is in the receiver applications side. ie. Validations will be taken care in the SAP system i.e in ABAP server proxy code.
Generally, it is prefer to more business critical validations in the Application System ie Receiver Application System (ABAP Server Proxy)
In this, you can have more flexibility of the validations as you are validating some of the SAP payroll informations as Personal ID etc.
Based on the complexity and flexibility of the requirement, you can either do this in the XI (if XI, ie Sender Adapter Module or Mapping) or in the ABAP proxy
