Hi Experts,
I need to understand the complete functionality of the Worker's Compensation Report in US payroll and the Step-By-Step process flow.
Can you please help.

Somdeb,
The system will look at the following in order to determine how to build the data to use in the report. It will look first for configuration by organizational unit, then by job, then by position. Our situation was such that we chose to configure the system to use job. Org unit was too general for us and position was too specific for us, as there is a one-to-one relationship between position and employee.
Some of the following may be outdated, but much of it is not.
Workersu2019 compensation reporting is accomplished through the maintenance of a number of tables and the execution of The Workersu2019 Compensation Report.
The system-supplied report can be accessed through the use of a transaction code (S_AHR_61016148) or via the following path:
Human Resources => Payroll => Americas => USA => Info system => Payroll results => Workersu2019 compensation report  
The workersu2019 comp tables that need to be configured are shown below.
Table T513  - Create Job
Table T527X - Create Organizational Unit
Table T5UWC - Create Workersu2019 Comp Code (and text) in each state     
Table T5UWS - Relate each Workersu2019 Comp assessable Wage Type to each State
Table T5U25 - Relate each SAP Job to Workersu2019 Comp Code
Table T5U26 - Relate Org Unit to Workersu2019 Comp State & Workersu2019 Comp Code
Table T513
This table is used to establish new jobs. This table will need to be updated for any new SAP Jobs created before Table T5U25 (which relates SAP Jobs to Workersu2019 Comp Codes) can be updated. The navigation path through the IMG is: Personnel Management => Personnel Administration => Organizational Data => Organizational Assignment => Organizational Plan => Define jobs
Table T527X
This table is used to establish new organizational units. It may not be critical to populate this table because org unit is the default method of workersu2019 comp reporting. If an SAP job isnu2019t related to a workersu2019 comp code, the system will attempt to use the org unit information to determine the proper workersu2019 comp code to use. The navigation path through the IMG is: Personnel Management => Personnel Administration => Organizational Data => Organizational Assignment => Organizational Plan  => Define organizational units
Table T5UWC
This table is used to create the workersu2019 comp codes in use in each individual state. You may determine that youu2019ll use a limited number of the standard workersu2019 comp codes and will update the codes in use infrequently. The navigation path through the IMG is: Personnel Management => Personnel Administration => Organizational Data => Workersu2019 Compensation => Define workersu2019 compensation classification codes
Table T5UWS
This table is used to create the wage types that comprise workersu2019 comp wages in each state. Note that this means when a new wage type is created, a decision will need to be made concerning whether or not it is assessable for workersu2019 comp insurance. If it is not assessable, this table will not need to be updated. If a new wage type is assessable for workersu2019 comp insurance, the table will have to be updated. The navigation path through the IMG is: Personnel Management => Personnel Administration => Organizational Data => Workersu2019 Compensation => Define state workersu2019 compensation wage types
Table T5U25
This table is used to assign each SAP job in each state to the workersu2019 comp code in that state. The navigation path through the IMG is: Personnel Management => Personnel Administration => Organizational Data => Workersu2019 Compensation => Assign Workersu2019 Compensation codes to organizational structures.
Table T5U26
This table is used to assign each organizational unit to a default workersu2019 comp code and state. It is not critical to populate this table with all new org units, as it is used as a default when the system cannot find a relationship between a particular SAP job and a workersu2019 comp code. The navigation path through the IMG is: Personnel Management => Personnel Administration => Organizational Data => Workersu2019 Compensation => Assign Workersu2019 Compensation codes to organizational structures.
