ECP - Offcycle payroll variant for different Payroll area in same country

[GirieshCM]

Hi Experts,

Hope everyone is fine.

I seek your help in SF ECP requirement. We have a UAE client who has 2 different payroll areas for different company and for both payroll system is ECP. We have different schemas for the companies and it works fine for regular payroll whereas the issue comes while running off cycle payroll, we have defined the program and variants in PCC Step templates but while running the offcycle payroll it fetches other payroll area schema by default.

Later we managed to find a table T52OCV which has the off cycle variant for running on demand off cycle. But the problem here is, the table allows only one variant for a payroll program, since we are using the same program with different payroll area now it is not possible to add the other payroll variant. Can some one help us with an idea if they have faced such scenario or if they have any idea to overcome the issue.

With Regards,

GM

Hi Mithesh,

Thank you for the response. For example, if the country is IN and I have AA payroll area for one Legal entity and BB payroll area for other Legal entity. In ECP, when you run "Offcycle on demand" for one employee belonging to payroll area BB which has different schema but in the table the variant is stored for other schema (i.e. Specific to AA payroll area) then it executes the payroll but the Schema which is getting executed is incorrect.

I have managed to find a work around for the issue. Since it is not possible to add more then one variant for a country, I have written a new PCR which checks the Payroll area while running offcycle and executes the respective schema according to the payroll area.

Hi All,

If you use operation OUTWP PAYSB for finding the payroll area, then you will get an error "No work Center found for date" when there is a back dated termination for the employee. We have overcome the issue by reading P0001 using operation "TABLE".

Giriesh,

Table T52OCV will allow only one entry per application and this table is only used to derive the report name and variant for that application. This table is also used for off-cycle processing in SAP ECC system. Per my understanding, payroll execution will automatically use the values passed to payroll driver and adjust accordingly even if the variant is saved with other payroll area.

Thanks!
