Payroll clusters

What are payroll clusters.
Can any one tell me some of payroll clusters. Is it B1, B2. i know these two. if any thing there apart from this please inform me.
What are Cluster directories, I know only CU. what are other Cluster directories.
Please help me.

Hi vamsi,
The HR module utilizes clusters for storing information in a variety of areas. Some of the tables available for storing data clusters are PCL1, PCL2, PCL3, PCL4, and PCL5, as shown below. Clusters provide numerous advantages. For instance, they are best for storing long texts and notes related to infotypes. The monthly payroll results and payroll directory of an employee are also stored in cluster form in table PCL2
PCL1:
TX Infotype texts
TE Travel expenses
TA General data for accounting of travel expenses
PCL2:
ID Interface toolbox directory of interface results
ZL Time wage types and work schedule
RU Payroll results (US)
PCL3:
TY Applicant data texts
AP Applicant actions
PCL4:
P2 Log for RPCALX0 and RPTIME00
U1 Tax reporter forms for US
PCL5:
PY Payroll data for personnel cost planning
CP Planning run data for personnel cost planning
STXL TX Notes related to infotypes
hope it will help you

temp.variable to hold the payroll period
DATA : g_f_pper LIKE pc261-fpper .
DATA : g_f_seqnr LIKE pc261-seqnr.
Cluster Definition.

HR Report category payroll clusters

Hi,
I have a problem in using the report category which i have created for reading data from payroll clusters.
I have attached PNP LDB in my program attributes and have set '900' as the selection screen.
In the new report category which i had created, i have added two select-option fields (PYPERNR and PYABKRS for personnel number and payroll area respectively). I have set the display check box for both the select-options.
But when i execute the report, the select-options doesnt appear by default and even i choose it from further selections tab, it doesnt appear in the selection-screen.
Can anybody let me know if i'm missing out on any steps?
Cheers,
Venkat

Hi venkatasubramanian,
1. what i understood is that u
selected PNP ldb and 900 selection screen.
then u wrote select-options for ur
own two fields, and they are not appearing.
2. i tried the same and its working fine.
report abc.
tables : pernr.
parameters : a type c.
regards,
amit m.

How Data is posted to the payroll clusters ?

Hi gurus,
Can you give me more information on how the data is written to the clusters
by the payroll driver program - RPCALCU0 .
Thanks

The ABAP commands IMPORT and EXPORT are used for management of read/write to database tables PCLn.
A unique key has to be used when reading data from or writing data to the PCLn.
~As found on net.

Delete Payroll results.

Hello All,
Is there any way or any report by which we can delete payroll results for 3000 employees at a time. I tried to use the report RPUDEL20 but this is promting me again for which payroll result shall I have to delete?
Please advice this is very urgent!
Thanks,
Chakri.

There is no Std option to delete multiple Payroll Results. You either have to d it manually one at a time or go for a custom Program. I would prefer the manual option even though it is time consuming. It is always safer to stick to the Std option while dealing with Payroll clusters. Whereas, you will have to spend a lot of time testing the custom Program to ensure nothing else is impacted.

TRANSFER OF PAYROLL CLUSTER FROM ONE SERVER TO ANOTHER

Dear All,
We want to trasnfer payroll clusters from one server to another for selected employee only.
Please tell me the process / program name etc
Thanks in advance
Sanjay Mathane

Hi,
You can try following:
1. Download all wage types from sending system (report H99CWTR0).
2. Upoland wage type and other relevant (e.g. periods) in tables T558B/C (there can be standard program for your country, e.g. HINUULK0 for India).
3. Run payroll with schema INLK (this one for India too) to insert wage types into custer.
Cheers!

Re: cluster table & table cluster & hr clusters

Hi Friends ,
what is the different b/w cluster tables & table cluster? ,
we have different clusters in HR like PCL1 ... what are these cluster tables or table clusters?.
also we have payroll clusters RT, CRT ... what are these?
could you please give some examples?
thanks &Regards

Different Clusters in HR are
PCL1 - HR work areas
PCL2 - Accounting results (TE, payroll)
PCL3 - Recruitment
PCL4 - Documents
The PCL1 contains the following sub areas:
B1 Time Events PDC
G1 Group Incentive Wages
L1 Individual Incentive Wages
PC Personal Calendar
TE Travel Expenses/Payroll Results
TS Travel Expenses Master Data
TX Infotype Texts
Z1 PDC Interface cost accounting materials management
The database PCL2 contains the following sub areas:
B2 Time Accounting Results
CD Cluster Directory of the CD manager
PS Generated Schemas
PT Text for generated Schemas
RX Payroll Accounting Results/International
Rn Payroll Accounting Results/Country Specific (n= HR country indicator) Therefore US = RU
ZL Personal Work Schedule
The database PCL4 contains the following sub areas:
LA Long document for Master data
LB Long document for Applicant data
SA Short document for Master data
SB Short document for Applicant data
RT and CRT as said by sikindir are result table that will fetch the data from the payroll cluster stores in the PCL2 in RX cluster where X is the country version.
Hope this will clarify you

Help needed in UAT testing

Hi
1) I need to do UAT (User Acceptance testing) for Remapping of few wage Types (few are secondary wagetypes and few are Customer specific) .How do i do that? .
2) How to run a G/L wage type report ?
Regards
Bill

Steps:
1.You need to add information in these WTs, e.g. in IT0014 you could add recurring payments or deduction WTs.
2. Run payroll
3. Review the Rumuneration statements to see if your WTs show up or look at the payroll clusters, to see if you see the WTs with the correct payments or deductions

How to find RETRO in a given period

Dear freinds,
Iam doing a payroll report relating to bonus,i would like to check in my coding the retro caculation , iam not sure how we should check the retro calcuation . IF any function module is there
where we can check after reading the payroll result (PYXX_READ_PAYROLL_RESULT) . It would be great help ./
regards
divya

This is not easy to answer and what others have reported here is not cutting it either. First you need to know how payroll results are built and how the retro-status indicator is being used (A, P, O). Then you need to know how the different payroll clusters work, the cluster directory and the result cluster. Just checking for /551 and other retro wage types is not the way to go as these are only represent if there are differences of a certain kind. If you do not understand the structure of payroll results you should avoid trying this.
For experts it is enough to look into HRPY_RGDIR to look for the corresponding results.
For introductions of what you need look for the following:

How to get inper and fpper without seqnr in SAP ABAP HR

Hi,
I'm writing a program to read payroll results from a flat file and need to upload into a ZTABLE i.e., custom table with RT structure. The file does not have seqnr or inper or fpper. Can you please tell me how to get the inper and fpper without seqnr? Is there anyway we can do that?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Abby,
This flat file you are receiving the pay info from....how can you tell which pay periiod it is drawing data from? The INPER-In Pay Period and FPPER-For Pay Period tell you what pay period is involved. For example, an employee turned in some of his hours worked late. The pay this week includes pay for this week plus pay for last week. So pay in Period 37/2009 (INPER) includes some pay from period 36/2009 (FPPER). Thus, you would need to have these differentiated by the sequence number. If you did not know that, you just have a lump sum earning from the flat file with no way to differentiate.
You did not say you were using SAP Payroll, but if you are, suggest you use some of the standard reports - such as Wage Type Reporter or Payroll Reconciliation Report. If you are creating your own ABAP Program, use the payroll function modules such as pyxx_read_payroll_result. These all look at the payroll clusters and extract the data in a readable format.

Creation of customized Wage Type Reporter

Hi,
My client were using the Standard Wage Type reporter i.e.PC00_M11_WTK. Now beacuse of security of not viewing the amounts of the employees , Client has taken away the authorization from the users the standard Tcode.
They want me to preapare the report for wage type -196E,9IPI,9IPC,9IP3,9IP5,9IP6,9IP7,9IP8,/3F1,/3F2,/3F3 AND /3F4. They dnot want the standard report. They want to customized a new report with above mention wage types?
I have already defined the FS to my ABAP HR,
I required your help to know the table from where the amount of the above wage type will pick up?
Please help.
Regards
Sanjib

Payroll results are kept in cluster. You have to access and read the cluster.
But instead of creating a report with abap I can suggest you trying this solution.
Create a payroll infotype by using system standart for the wage types to be reported.
Assign authorization for this infotype to only related employee
Put payroll infotype in info group.
After that employee can have the report by using ad-hoc query.

Total Compensation Statement - BADIs Question

Question:
The total compensation statement is programmed to read off the payroll cluster for the wage types identified in the pay category in configuration.
I noticed there are set of BADIs available for country specific enhancement. Could someone explain the purposes of it? Since wage type could be configured as country specific already, what is the purpose of these country specific BADIs?
Also. If information is NOT stored in the payroll cluster but via a custom infotype, would utilizing these BADI be able to read the information from it? Or would that required a separated program and the BADI functionality won't be able to do them?
These are the BADI delivered...
Read Data on Subcategory Defined by SAP (Pay)
Read Data on Customer-Defined Subcategory (Pay)
Read Data on Subcategory Defined by SAP (Other Compensation)
Read Data on Customer-Defined Subcategory (Other Compensation)
Read Data on Subcategory Defined by SAP (Personnel Development)
Read Data on Customer-Defined Subcategory (Personnel Development)
Read Data on Subcategory Defined by SAP (Benefits)
Read Data on Customer-Defined Subcategory (Benefits)
Read Data on Customer-Defined Category
Thanks,
KN

FYI for anyone interested...
Yes you could use these BADI to redirect it from looking at the payroll clusters to a custom table or infotype. Within the BADI you would need to use the IMPORT values to do lookup and export out the tab values needed. Including what you would like to see on the screen, etc.
I'll create a blog on how to do this when i get a chance www.saphelpbykevin.com

Or Develop as fresh custom report.

Clone&Test tool availability for 4.6C HCM systems

Hi Experts!
We are about to migrate the personnel masterfile from a 4.6C standalone HCM system into the companie's central ECC 6.0 system.
To get rid of the problem with the collision of personnel numbers (numbers from the 4.6C system are already existing for another employee in the central ECC 6.0 system) we wan to use the tool Clone&Test from Accenture (former Pecaso).
Now we have heard from consultants that Clone&Test does only work for source systems of release 4.7 or higher but in product folders we read that the tool would be available for 4.5, 4.6, 4.7.
Has anybody there experiences with that tool and can give reliable advice? Your help is really appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
Günter

Hi Gunter,
We are using this tool from 2 years. It is very useful and helps a lot in data migration from system to system. Also for coping data from Productive system to Quality in case of issue where it is really important to simulate 100% the same issue, for example ECM. It transfers almost all employee data, including Payroll clusters; it transfers all OM, PD, TE data (HRP infotypes). It can anonimize data you transfer using various scenarios.
I really like the tool and it is great help in my work!
We use my SAP ERP 2004.
This year we need to migrate 1 country which uses 4.6C to the system where most countries from group are operating. The plan is that we use Clone & Test for that. As I am not directly dealing with licenses I will check with colleagues do we have confirmation from Acenture that tool can be used for 4.6C..
I will update you as soon as I have the answer.
Best regards,
Ani
