Hi,

Name of a module that valuates wage types according to certain criteria. Modules can be similar to a wagetype group.The following descriptions of the diverse options can be used for wagetypes in the following infotypes:

Basic Pay (0008), Standard Wage Maintenance (0052), Recurring Payments/Deductions (0014), Additional Payments (0015)

For some modules, the type of valuation depends on the specification of the module variant.

Some of the indirect valuation modules available in the standard system are:

o TARIF, PRZNT, ANSAL, INVAL etc.

These are mostly country dependent or industry dependent variants. In India mostly we use INVAL, also TARIF, according to the module requirement.

For e.g.

INVAL - Indirect Evaluation Module Variant for India

There are four module variants for INVAL:

1. A - This calculates the value of the wage type as a fixed amount.

2. B - This calculates the amount as a percentage of a base wage type

added to a fixed amount. More than one such amount, with same or

different percentage of the base wage type, can be calculated for an

INVAL wage type. In this case, the amount that will be Indirectly

Evaluated will be the sum of all such calculated amounts, added to a

fixed amount. For example, for the wage type M230, the different

INVAL B amounts are

a) 10% of MB10

b) 30% of M220

c) Fixed amount of Rs.1000

In this case, the INVAL amount for the wage type M230 will be the

sum of a, b and c.

3. C - This calculates the amount as a percentage of a base wage type

subject to a maximum limit. More than one such amount, with same or

different percentage of the base wage type, can be calculated for an

INVAL wage type. In this case, the amount that will be Indirectly

Evaluated will be the sum of all such calculated amounts, subject to

a maximum limit. For example, for the wage type M230, the different

INVAL C amounts are

a) 10% of MB10

b) 30% of M220

c) Limit of Rs.5000

In this case, the INVAL amount for the wage type M230 will be the

sum of a and b subject to a maximum of c.

4. D - This calculates the amount as one or any combination of the

following INVAL Module variants based on Basic salary slabs:

a) Fixed amount

b) Percentage of a base wage type added to a fixed amount

c) Percentage of a base wage type subject to a maximum limit

In the SAP system, INVAL D can be configured as only INVAL B or C.

Once the percentage of the base wage type is calculated, the result

is multiplied with a factor. This resultant amount is then added to

fixed amount or is compared with a maximum limit. For example, the

INVAL module variant for the wage type M210, for an employee who

falls in the Basic Salary slab of Rs.10,000 - 12,000, is INVAL C.

The INVAL amounts are:

a) 10% of MB10

b) 30% of M220

c) Multiplication factor of 50%

d) Limit of Rs.7000

In this case, the INVAL amount for M210 for the employee is the sum

of a and b, multiplied by c and the result is subject to a maximum

of d. If you want to configure the wage type as a fixed amount for a

particular slab, the wage type is configured as INVAL B. In this

case, the percentage of the base wage type is multiplied with the

factor of 0% and then the fixed amount added to the result. For

example, the INVAL module variant for the wage type M230, for an

employee who falls in the Basic Salary slab of Rs.15,000 - 25,000,

is INVAL B. The INVAL amounts are:

a) 100% of MB10

b) Multiplication factor of 0%

c) Fixed amount of Rs.5000

In this case, the INVAL amount for M230 for the employee is the

value of a, multiplied by b and the result added to c. In this case,

the INVAL amount will be the fixed amount of Rs.5000.

I am aware of 1 module name and variant that is indirect valuation if you are talking in reference of wage type valuation.

This is stored in V_T511 table against the wage type.

A module that valuates wage types according to certain criteria. The following descriptions of the diverse options can be used for wage types in the following infotypes:Basic Pay (0008), Standard Wage Maintenance (0052), Recurring Payments/Deductions (0014), Additional Payments (0015).

The module variant specifies the module for indirect valuation.

I would suggest you to check the old threads and SAP library for the more on this.
