Payroll Third-Party Remittance(3PR) Evaluation Run in S/4 HANA

[KapilKurapati]

Hello,

In the last month, we converted to S/4 HANA. We have a problem with Payroll Third party remittance processing.

In ECC, we were able to run 3PR evaluation run using PC00_M07_K500 when control record is in "EXIT" status and SAP recommends that it should be in EXIT status, whereas in S/4 it should be in "Release for payroll" status. We have a problem with this prerequisite in S/4. 

SAP recommends that Transfer to FI/CO, and Direct Deposit/Data Medium Exchange programs are run prior to beginning 3PR process. So, to run FI/CO posting, the control record should be in EXIT status, again to run 3PR after this, Evaluation program is expecting the control record to be in "Release for payroll" status, which is confusing.

We thought we can use "Ignore payroll control record" option on the payroll driver program, but this option works only in the Test systems based on the setting in table T000. It is not working in Production.

We are in second payroll run in S/4 now and this issue is impacting our 3PR processing in Production. In the last payroll run, we manually adjusted the control record to allow it to work. We need immediate feedback on this as we have an upcoming payroll run next Monday Nov 11th. Please suggest if we have any solution to this problem or advise if we are missing any step in S/4.

Thank you.
