Processing Class
Definition
A wage type characteristic that controls processing during Payroll.
Use
There are different processing classes for the various processing steps that are performed
within Payroll. During the payroll run, the system processes a wage type in a specific
processing step according to its individual specification in the respective processing class.
The standard system contains processing classes that have different specifications. You
can also create customer processing classes and specifications in Customizing for Payroll
by choosing Basic Settings ® Environment of Wage Type Maintenance ® Processing
and Evaluation Classes ® Maintain Processing Classes and Their Specifications.
Structure
A processing class has different specifications.
Example
In the standard system, processing class 15 determines how a wage type is valuated in
accordance with the principle of averages.
The standard system permits the following specifications, for example, for processing
class 15:
Specification 1: valuation of averages for 3 months
Specification 2: valuation of averages for 6 months
Evaluation Class
Definition
Wage type characteristic that controls processing when payroll results are evaluated and
displayed.
Use
There are various evaluation classes for the different processing steps that are performed
when payroll results are evaluated and displayed. During an evaluation, the system
processes a wage type in a specific processing step according to its individual
specification in the respective evaluation class.
The standard system contains evaluation classes with different specifications. You can
also create customer evaluation classes and specifications in Customizing for Payroll by
choosing Basic Settings ® Environment of Wage Type Maintenance ® Processing and
Evaluation Classes ® Maintain Evaluation Classes and Their Specifications.
Structure
An evaluation class has different specifications.
Example
In the standard system, the specifications for evaluation class 02 determine how a wage
type is printed on a form.
Specification 00: no printing on the form
Specification 01: prints personal payments/deductions
Specification 02: prints wage types included in the total gross amount
Specification 03: prints wage types derived from time-based payments and included
in the total gross amount
Processing Classes
PRCL 01 Assignment to Bases of Valuation PC Rule X010
Object
Processing class
Use
The valuation bases (usually in payment per hour) are calculated from
the basic pay wage types (monthly wages or salary). These bases can be
used to evaluate subsequent wage types (overtime hours, extra pay for
holiday, night, Sunday work).
Syntax
Table T512W
Procedure
In processing class 01, all wage types from basic pay are coded which
should be included in the valuation basis. The formulas for the basis'
of valuation must be carried out for each firm individually in every
installation. X010
Characteristic Values
SAP is unable to describe the specifications of processing class 01. The
users should document these themselves under the object type [Link]
after the rules have been set down. (xx = country modifier, yy =
processing class, n = specification)

Access
PIT X010 P01
Procedure
Calculation rule X010 queries the wage types for processing class 01.
The wage type is used in different valuation bases depending on the
specification for the processing class.
Requirements
Processing class 01 must be maintained in table T512W for all wage
types listed in the "Basic Pay" infotype (0008). If a wage type is not
to be used in a valuation basis, you must set specification 0. Wage
types not listed in the "Basic Pay" infotype (0008) can be transferred
unchanged by the calculation rule by using the employee subgroup
grouping for personnel calculation rule * and specification 0 in
processing class 01. Calculation rule X013 must be processed directly
after X010 in the schema.

Example: Interest Calculation
Prerequisites
In your enterprise, payroll takes place on a monthly basis. You
have created a loan for an employee with the following data:
Loan type Building loan with
payment by installments
Loan amount paid out 10,000 euro
Loan payment January 10 of the current
year
Repayment start date May 01 of the current year
Repayment installment 300 euro each month
The following values are stored in Customizing for the loan type
Building loan with repayment installment:
Debit interest 5%
Interest calculation First period: 03
frequency
Interval: 03
Repayment frequency First period: 03
Interval: 03
The interest for this loan is thus due in the months of March, June,
September, and December.
The repayment installment for the loan type Building loan with
installment repayment is also due in the months of March, June,
September and December. However, the employee must only pay
the first repayment installment for the loan on hand in June, as you
specified May 01 as the start of repayment date. June is the first
month, in which a repayment installment is due for the repayment
pattern for this loan type after the start of repayment date on May
01.
Interest Calculation
Interest is calculated for each payroll period and stored in the
Interest for current period wage type (/LIM). If interest is not due
in the previous payroll period, it is cumulated in the Cumulated
interest wage type (/LIC) until the next due date. When the interest
is due, the Cumulated interest wage type (/LIC) is converted to the
Interest due wage type (/LID).
In the example, the loan is paid out on January 10 of the current
year. This means that only 21 days of interest accrue in this month.
For the first payroll period, interest of 10,000 x 0.05 x 21 / 360 =
29.17 euro accrues (10,000 euro balance, 5% interest, 21 days
interest, 360 days per year).
For the remaining periods up to the first repayment, interest of
10,000 x 0.05 x 30 / 360 = 41.67 euro accrues (10,000 euro
balance, 5% interest, 30 days interest, 360 days per year).
The interest per payroll period is cumulated and due at an interval
of 3 periods.
Wage Types
The following loan wage types arise for the first six payroll periods:

Example of an Imputed Income Calculation
Prerequisites
In your enterprise, payroll takes place on a monthly basis. You have created a loan for an
employee with the following data:
Loan type Building loan with payment by installments
Loan amount paid out 10,000
Loan payment January 10 of the current year
Repayment start date May 01 of the current year
Repayment installment 300 euro each month
The following values are stored in Customizing for the loan type Building loan with repayment
installment:
Debit interest 5%
Reference interest rate 6%
Interest rate advantage Selected
Interest calculation frequency First period: 03
Interval: 03
Repayment frequency First period: 03
Interval: 03
Calculating Imputed Income (Interest Rate Advantage)
For the first payroll period, imputed income of 10,000 x 0.01 x 21 / 360 = 5.83 incurs (10,000
amount of loan, 1% interest rate advantage = 6% reference interest rate -- 5 % debit interest; for
21 days of interest, 360 days per year).
For the remaining payroll periods up to the first repayment, calculation is as follows: 10,000 x
0.01 x 30 / 360 = 8.33.
The interest for each payroll period is cumulated, and is due after 3 periods.
Wage Types
As well as the wage types listed in the Example: Interest Calculation, the following wage types
are created when calculating imputed income.
