Payroll Schemas

Transaction Code: PE01

Menu Path: Human Resources --> Payroll --> Europe --> Great Britain -->
Tools --> Maintenance Tools --> Schemas
Double-clicking on a sub-schema will take you to the maintenance screen for
that schema.
Double-clicking on any of the rules (PCR's) will take you to the rule editor. You
can tell the difference between sub-schemas a rules by looking at the
parameters. The name of the sub-schema can be found in the Par 1 column.
The main schema generally calls all the different sub-schemas. The subschemas will then call the payroll rules. In most cases, when a rule is called,
there will be parameters in the Par 2 or Par 3 columns.
In the main, most sub-schemas are called by the "copy" command.
Schemas, rules and features in SAP use the following line editor commands.
This allows you to move, delete, copy and insert lines. All the commands are
entered in the area used for the line numbers. Overwrite any of the numbers
with the commands shown below. For the commands using 1 letter - hit the
return key once you have entered the letter. For the commands using 2 letters
- hit the return key after the first 2 letters have been entered or after both sets
have been entered.
The most commonly used commands are:
Line
Command

Description

Deletes a line

Insets a line

Moves a line

Copies a line

DD

Indicates the start of a block to be deleted

DD

Indicates the end of a block to be deleted

CC

Indicates the start of a block to be copied

CC

Indicates the end of a block to be copied

MM

Indicates the start of a block to be moved

MM

Indicates the end of a block to be moved

Once you have chosen the block to move or copy, you need to show where to
move or copy it to in the schema. The following commands indicate where
you can copy or move the lines to.
Line
Command

Description

Places the block after the chosen line

Places the block before the chosen line

Remember when calling the PCR from the schema: GEN means that the
wagetype is **** i.e. you haven't specified one and NOAB means that it will
look at any EE Sub-Grouping. If you want the rule to use specific wage types
or groupings, then leave either blank.
Use the print option and VAR (PAR 2) in the schema to output the variable
table during processing.
Position is very important for schemas. Look to see where a similar piece of
processing has taken place. If in doubt, place the rule after the similar data
has been read and processed.

Wishing to retrieve previous payroll period results to be used in a PCR?

You can do so by using the function IMPRE with paremter NN (NN periods
before current payroll period). Also have a look at the documentation of
IMPRE.
An example in using this function is as follows (reading the period 6 months
ago):
D ZERO = NRA IMPRE 6 SUBRC?IMP *
0 AMT = O 1001SETIN A=01SETIN R=3 ZERO= NR ADDWTI1001
