Question { Honeywell, 29260 }

What is retro-active accounting? How do we get it done?

Answer

Retroactive accounting

If you change HR master data in a period for which the
payroll has already been run, the payroll must be run once
again for this period using the current values, so the
results will be updated based on new source data. This
action is known as retroactive accounting.

If you do any changes in an infotype that is relevant to
retroactive accounting, the Earliest MD Change field in the
Payroll Status infotype (IT0003) is set to the start date
of the changed infotype, this way retroactive accounting is
automatically triggered up to this retroactive accounting
date when the next payroll run is performer. For example,
after a salary change in Basic Pay infotype (IT000.



Payroll area and control record

Payroll areas are used in SAP HR to group together
employees for whom payroll is run at the same time, and
also to set the dates for the payroll period. Employees
from different employee subgroups can belong to the same
payroll area.


Personnel Management -> Personnel Administration ->
Organizational Data -> Create Payroll Area Payroll area is
set for each employee in Organizational Assignment infotype
(IT0001). You can use feature ABKRS to set default value
based on enterprise and personnel structure.


PE03 transaction or SPRO path:
Personnel Management -> Personnel Administration ->
Organizational Data -> Check Default Payroll Area For every
payroll area must be created Control Record, which controls
the individual stages of payroll. It locks master data and
time data so no changes can be made during the payroll
process. Control record sets current payroll period and
defines the earliest possible retroactive accounting date
for each payroll area.

Payroll period determines the period for which a payroll is
run. The length of payroll periods can differ, for example,
it can be a month, a week, or fourteen days.

REMEMBER: The payroll period which is set in control record
must be 1 period before the period in which you want to go
live with your SAP HR Payroll.
The lock of master data is valid for past and present
payroll data. Changes that affect future payroll runs are
still possible.
To maintain control record use transaction PA03or SPRO path:
Personnel Management -> Personnel Administration ->
Organizational Data -> Create Control Record .

Retroactive accounting limit date


Earliest possible date for change of payroll related master
data could be set in various places. Payroll program need
to have concrete retroactive accounting limit date. It
determines the exact date until which master data and time
data can be changed in the payroll past based on the
following values:
in payroll area (date specified in appropriate control
record): Earliest possible retroactive accounting period
employee (Payroll Status infotype IT0003): Earliest
personal retroactive accounting date
Employee hiring date

Question { HCL, 27288 }

what is the configuration part in ESS/MSS being SAP HR
functional consultant. what r the responsibilities ...

Answer

ESS - Employee Self Service is an web enabled tool used to
update their own datas by the employee itself.
MSS- Manager Self Service is an web enabled tool used for
Managers to take report or update the datas of subordinate.
This will give you a comprehensive idea:
To implement LEAVE REQUEST &APPROVAKL, both ESS and MSS are
not mandatory. But ESS is required.However this
functionality is developed to be avaialable in MSS also if
a client wants have both ESS and MSS. Without MSS, the
business flow of Leave request would be in ESS is like
this:
1. An employee wants to take two weeks of leave. He or she
accesses the Leave Request Web application. He or she sees
in the Team Calendar that other team members also have
leave at the same time. Nonetheless, he or she requests
leave for the planned period.
2. The leave requires approval. The system automatically
determines the approver responsible and lists the name in
the Web application. If required, the employee can
overwrite the name of the approver.
1. The employee's request is stored in the database of
leave requestswith the status Sent.
2. Once a day, the RPTARQEMAIL report (Leave Requests: Send
E-Mails) is run in the background. The system sends an e-
mail to the appropriate approver for the requests with
status Sent that require approval. The e-mail notifies the
approver of the steps required.
3. The approver accesses the Approve Leave Requests Web
application from the Universal Work list.. The application
provides the approver with a list of all the leave requests
that require his or her approval.
4. The approver selects the employee's leave request. After
checking the Team Calendar, the approver realizes that the
employee's leave request cannot be approved since it would
mean there would not be enough team members at work for the
period in question.
5. The approver writes a note in which he or she states why
the request has been rejected. He or she then rejects the
request.
6. The RPTARQEMAIL report sends an e-mail to the employee
notifying him or her that the request was rejected. The
employee accesses the Leave Request Web application. He or
she selects the request in the Absence Overview. He or she
sees in the note the reason why the request was rejected.
7. The employee looks at the Team Calendar and finds a
period in which no other team members are on vacation. He
or she changes the period of the request. The employee
specifies the change in period in the note.
8. The RPTARQEMAIL notifies the approver of the request by
e-mail. This time the approver can approve the request.
9. The request receives the status Approved in the
database. The RPTARQEMAIL report sends an e-mail to the
employee notifying him or her that the request was
approved.
10. The system processes the requests further according to
their status:
11. The RPTARQPOST report (Leave Requests: Post) writes all
requests in the database that have the status Approved to
the Absences (2001) or Attendances (2002) infotype.
12. The system may not be able to post the requests to the
infotypes if, for example, they collide with other infotype
records. These requests are given the status With Errors.
13. The RPTARQEMAIL report sends an e-mail to the relevant
time administrator to notify him or her that the requests
were unable to be posted.
14. The time administrator accesses the RPTARQERR report
(Leave Request: Process Posting Errors). It lists the
requests with errors.
15. The time administrator analyzes the error situation in
the backend system.
16. If he or she can solve the cause of the problem and
save the data record in the infotype, he or she uses the
RPTARQERR report to set the request to Posted.
17. If the problem cannot be solved, because the employee
has other commitments at the time, for example, the time
administrator rejects the request.
18. The RPTARQEMAIL report sends an e-mail to the employee
notifying him or her of the change in status of the request
(in ESS)

while simultaneously reducing the number of time-consuming
