Unit 1
Lesson 1
Current Payroll Process
LESSON OBJECTIVES
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

● SAP Payroll – The Best Payroll Solution

- Comprehensive Payroll System
- End-to-End Payroll
- Retroactive Payroll Built in
- Global System
■ Country Specific functionality delivered
- Configurable and Customizable
- Beautiful Front End
- Easy Guided Activity Processing
Figure 1: Current Payroll Process – SAP Payroll Processing
Menu: Human Resources → Payroll → REGION → COUNTRY → Payroll → . . ..

Release Payroll - Calls the next payroll period. Includes payroll areas "released for payroll" in
the control record. Personnel records lock so that no past and present payroll data can be
changed
Start Payroll - If you are in a productive run, these parameters are filled in; if in a test run,
enter the fields below:
● Payroll Area - to determine the exact payroll period (a different payroll period can be
entered).
● Personnel numbers - by ranges or by payroll areas (in the Org.Assignment infotype).
● Schema - to determine general program control - U000 in a US-specific schema.
● Forced retroactive accounting date - if applicable, must be entered to force retroactivity if
configuration changes have been made.
● Other options - Test Run, Display Logs.
Corrections - Unlocks the personnel records for maintenance until status reset as “released
for payroll”.
Check payroll results - You can freeze the current payroll status and prevent master data
from being updated by setting the control record to “check payroll results”.
Exit Payroll - When you exit payroll, the program records are re-released for maintenance, and
the next payroll period can be called. You can exit only if payroll accounting has been
successful for all personnel numbers included (shown by search helps W selecting no
numbers).
Figure 2: Current Payroll Process – Managing the Control Record
The control record has the following “organizational” functions within payroll accounting:
● It determines the current payroll period with exact dates, and defines the payroll past for
retroactive accounting recognition.
● It prevents master data and time data from being changed during the payroll run. This lock
applies to past and present payroll data, whereas changes can still be made to data in the
payroll future.
● It specifies the earliest possible retroactive accounting period for each payroll area.

Lesson: Current Payroll Process
Menu:Human Resources → Payroll → Americas → USA (Canada) → Tools → Control Record.
Figure 3: Current Payroll Process - Pre-Payroll Process
Cannot run any payroll reporting reports because payroll results do not exist. Information
from simulations is very limited
Figure 4: Current Payroll Process – Running Payroll
Menu: Human Resources → Payroll → Americas → USA (Canada) → Payroll → Start Payroll.
The payroll driver is a country-specific program. However, the data necessary for running
payroll is the same in all countries.
The payroll area must be called in the payroll period section of the report driver to select the
appropriate pay period. In a testing environment, the pay period being run may differ from the
current period as defined by the Payroll Control Record.
The payroll area must always be used in the Selection section of the payroll driver screen.
Payroll may also be run for specific personnel numbers.
In the general program control section, payroll reasons are entered for off-cycle processing as
well as off-cycle run identifiers, if necessary. The main schema for processing must be
entered. A live run can be converted to a simulation run by selecting Test Run.

If changes have been made in payroll configuration in the payroll past, forced retroactive
accounting must be selected .
Figure 5: Current Payroll Process – Payroll Calculation
The payroll log is available immediately following the processing of payroll if the Display Log
option is selected on the payroll driver screen. The log shows the detailed processing of
payroll including the operations processed within personnel calculation rules. The payroll log
is the primary tool for trouble-shooting configuration errors in payroll processing.

Lesson 2
Payroll Control Center Overview
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Run Payroll Using the Payroll Control Center
Figure 8: Payroll Control Center Overview
If you use the existing process, you cannot start verifications until Payroll has started and
Payroll results exist:
● Wage Type Reporter
● Payroll Recon Report
● Payroll Journal
Payroll Control Center

Can be used with On Premise SAP HCM or with Employee Central, and is easier for new
Payroll Managers and Admins to train on.
Issues can be identified and Fixed before starting payroll. Gives users the ability to build their
company policy checks into the Payroll run (Existing ABAP Developer are able to do this).
Visibility to important Key Performance Indicators and Policy deviations. There is a huge
visibility increase over end to end payroll as well as a huge time savings in End to End Payroll.
Full Payroll Process can be run in front end. This allows for:
● Financial Posting to Accounting
● Data Medium Exchange - Payments to Employee's (Pre-DME and DEM)
● Check Printing

With the New process using the Payroll Control Center, a majority of the work to identify and
fix issues with Payroll has been pushed to Pre-Payroll (One-Click Monitoring). So these can be
addressed before releasing control record and allows much more time to resolve issues after
they are identified.
Note:
Starting in 2H 2020, we now support simulating posting with test payroll results in
monitoring payroll processes. This adds more value to monitoring payroll
processes.
SAP Delivers two roles to be used with the Payroll Control Center. These are Payroll Manager
and Payroll Administrator.
For the new Payroll Control Center SAP kept the following in mind:
● The best Payroll is one you don't see.
● A brand new front end is created to Run Payroll.
● Improved data quality.
● Majority of the work can be done Pre-Payroll.
● Allow for complete transparency in Payroll Process. Key Performance Indicators and
Validation Checks are built in.

Figure 23: Helpful Tip!
In the previous version of the PCC, in order to get completed processes to show in the Payroll
Control Center you need to select Show More. If you hover over the button then it will tell you
the date that it is current to. You may have to click Show More many times depending on the
date you want shown.
The standard logic uses current system date and will show completed processes for the last 2
months.

Unit 2
Lesson 1
Payroll Results Declustering
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Explain Payroll Results Declustering

Payroll Results Declustering: Myths & Misconceptions
● The Declustering functionality is not new – (available since EHP4), what is new is the
creation of pre-payroll declustered results, making PCC Validations possible during
monitoring
● You do not need to decluster ALL Payroll tables
● You do not need to decluster PAST Payroll tables
● Declustering does NOT replace clustered payroll results
● Declustering will NOT affect existing payroll reports and results
Figure 30: Payroll Results Declustering
Clustered Results live on PCL2 and are created by RPCALC**

SAP translates these clustered results via a report such as PC_PAYRESULT
Now with declustered results, it means that we can go and look at these results on a table and
select them directly

Lesson: Payroll Results Declustering
Figure 31: Payroll Results Declustering: P2RX_RT
Tables HRDCT_TPY_RGDIR and HRPY_RGDIR are important to identify results, payroll area,
period and if it is for a retro - then it is important for your developer to know as they build
checks
Links tables such as P2RX_RT with the payroll area, period etc. via a single sequence number.
Entries created on P2RX_RT are for both test and regular payroll.
Figure 32: Payroll Results Declustering: HRPY_RGDIR
Every time the test payroll results are created for an employee, the previous existing test
results are replaced. No history of test payroll results or versioning is possible

Unit 2: PCC Configuration
Figure 33: Payroll Results Declustering: HRDCT_TPY_RGDIR
Figure 34: Payroll Results Declustering: Country Specific Declustering
● Country Specific Declustering

- Define Declustering settings for country
● Select the tables to decluster
- Only the ones needed for your validations
● Ability to set DB connection
- Decluster to separate HANA DB for example

Figure 35: Payroll Results Declustering: P2RX_EVAL_PERIOD
Make sure to decluster table P2RX_EVAL_PERIOD.

Country Independent → not accessed through IMG.
● - Cluster ID CU on Cluster Table PCL2
Configure through SM30

● - V_T77DCT_OPTION → Turn on first
- V_T77DCT_REG → Select table

Maintain user name for batch processing. Setup the ID with the authorization used for the
batch processing jobs. Reports will run under authorization of this user.
Important Authorization Objects:
● P_PYD_AAUT: This authorization object decides whether a user can use this report
● S_BTCH_NAM: This authorization object decides whether a user is allowed to schedule a
job where a different user (the so-called "authorization user") is used to perform the
authorization checks for one or more job steps.
For example, the user starting PY on the front end does not need authorization for running
payroll in the back end.
Human Resources → Payroll → International → Tools → Payroll Control Center → Admin
Transaction Report.
Here you define the user name that you will use to authorize the daemon jobs you're running.
The batch user name you specify here must have the authorizations for running the reports
included in the Payroll Control Center process steps. As a result, when a payroll manager
selects Run Payroll, for example, on the frontend UI of the Payroll Control Center, the daemon
jobs are running in the background using the authorizations of the batch user.

Lesson: Payroll Control Center Background Jobs
Note:
There are additional background jobs in PYC_ADM_TRANSACTION not shown
here.
● Delete Team Configuration lock entries
● Maintain Policy Configuration lock entries
● Maintain Process Configuration lock entries
Figure 40: PCC Background Jobs : PYC_ADM_TRANSACTION part 2
Maintain recurrence for daemon job PYD_DAE_PROCESS , it is recommended that you set a
short interval, for example, 1 minute.
A daemon job is a program running in the background without requiring user input. When the
payroll manager presses a button on the frontend UI, such as run payroll, the predefined
daemon jobs run in the background at the predefined frequency to ensure that payroll is run.
We recommend using Busy Waiting to ensure the job is active during the 1 minute interval.
If you do not turn on this process, nothing will happen when you start a process in the Payroll
Control Center.
If Busy Waiting is not selected then the job will start by the next job recurrence, 1 minute later.

The purpose is to delete temporary data that has been produced during the use of the Payroll
Control Center. The interval time should not be too short
PYD_REGULAR_WRAP_UP - starts 3 individual jobs:
● PYD_DELETE_EXPIRED_SESSIONS
Delete expired user sessions. Data removed includes filters set by the user during the session
● PYD_DAE_REGS_REORG
Deletes daemon registrations (use cases and events) that have been processed already by
the regular daemon job. It is always scheduled as part of the regular wrap-up jobs by the
Admin Transaction Report (PYC_ADMIN_TRANSACTION)
● PYD_SHADOWS_REORG
Shadows are used to hold information about selection objects, for example PERNRs, that can
be used to start a process step instance for a subset of the original selection.
When a process instance is closed, a shadow is no longer used and can be deleted. This report
does the deletion.
Cleanup obsolete statuses and runtime information for the PCC database tables such as
expired user sessions. The wrap up jobs are listed on the table PYD_D_WT.
Figure 42: PCC Background Jobs : PYC_ADM_TRANSACTION prt 4

Maintain a user list for master data maintenance even if the control record is released for
payroll. If the payroll control record is locked, the users in the list have authorization to
change master data. On Table PYC_D_EE_MDCA is where one can see the assignment
between PERNR and PROCESSOR. This is used to identify for which employees on which a
processor can make master data changes. Although the payroll control record is in status
"released" for payroll.
Generate general process ID. This ID is used by the system to allow the Payroll Control Center
to display any errors with a PCC step related to payroll related reports on the front end UI. The
HR Process Workbench (transactions PEST and PUST) has similar functionality and this is
using that Process ID to allow the PCC to use this same type of functionality
This ID is used by the system to integrate the Payroll Control Center with HR Process
Workbench (transactions PEST and PUST). Using the general process ID, all standard and
customer reports enabled for the HR process management can pass their status information
(error status of selection objects and workflow container) to the Payroll Control Center.

Maintain Database Access Options. Decide how the database should be accessed – standard
is to use JOIN in SQL
Maintain General Settings. Decide whether attachments are allowed in the PCC and how big
the file size can be. Maximum excel rows when exported
After all the items are setup you will see background jobs run to support the Payroll Control
Center start. Some will start after executing specific steps on the front end, for example,
Execute KPI Instances and Execute Check Instances. To look up the jobs, go to transaction
SM37 and search by the ID that you used in transaction.
Be aware of spool request limits. See SAP Note 16354

PCC Configuration — General Information

Once pre-requisite setup is met, PCC Configuration will involve:
● Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) – View analytics of payroll results
● Alerts/Validations – Search for policy deviations or errors in your payroll
● Processes – Setup monitoring, production, posting, off-cycle, etc.
Note:
An Alert is a term that comes in other names. Validations, Validation Checks,
Checks and of course Alerts are one and the same! Likewise, a KPI is often
referred to as Analytics in documentation or even the system.
Note:
What is the difference between an alert and KPI? The alert is a set of structured
logic that allows the system to determine there is a problem, diagnose the
problem, provide a solution that an administrator can then fix! A KPI is just data
that is presented to the Payroll Managers to be analyzed to determine if the
payroll run was successful.
Simplified Configuration is the term we use for how PCC is implemented. The majority of
common KPIs, alerts and processes are supplied once business functions are enabled. The
configuration has you setup PCC’s structure in the back-end and finalize configuration using
the front-end interface.
Note:
It is recommended that you view the RDS/Best Practice documentation on all out-
of-box alerts and KPIs. Then review these with your customer. Do they make
sense, which ones should be implemented? Which ones need to be tweaked (such
as a threshold amount for a gross pay alert)? What is missing and needs created?
https://rapid.sap.com/bp/ is the URL to find Best Practice documentation for
Payroll Control Center.
The tools used to configure PCC are a decision point for you and the customer:
● IMG – access many Customizing activities to set up PCC such as creating Data Sources
and Data Source Types for KPIs/Alerts.
● PYC Configuration Workbench (CWB) – A one single point of entry to configure PCC
objects and entities (KPIs, Alerts, Processes), considered best practice over using the IMG.
● Manage Configuration – an application within the front-end PCC interface that allows you
and the customer to configure/maintain alerts and analytics.
Existing Setup - KPIs & Validations

This has been completed for us in this class

● KPIs, Alerts & Processes are setup in the training system using Simplified Configuration
and primarily the IMG.
1. Simplified Configuration
Simplified Configuration uses two delivered front end user interfaces to do some of the
configuration. Consultants complete configuration in the development system and then
transport configuration to productive system.
Payroll process manager creates policies and processes in the production system on the
front end using configuration wizards found in PCC.
Figure 50: Key Performance Indicators
Key Performance Indicators or KPIs give us statistics about our payroll run. There are four
types of KPIs that can be setup in the PCC in the latest version
High Level Steps to Create a New KPI
Figure 51: High Level Steps to Create a New KPI
High Level Steps to Create a New KPI as outlined in table above

Design the KPI – what will it show and how will you find the appropriate data from the system?
As mentioned previously, consult the RDS/Best Practice documentation on all out-of-box
alerts and KPIs. This with involvement from the customer will help determine what needs
tweaked/added/created!
This has been completed for us in this class
1. Create the ABAP code for the KPI in a CLASS and METHOD

a. Copy the delivered class CL_PYC_EXAMPLE_KPI_EE_NUM or

CL_PYC_EXAMPLE_KPI_AMT_CHART and write your logic
2. Create the details for each KPI (Create Data Source Types)
a. Define the details of the KPI such as Input & Output (Delivered PYP_KPI_RESULT &
PYP_KPI for output)
3. Group all of your KPIs into a Class (Classify Data Sources)
a. Can create folders to organize and sort
4. Assign your group of KPIs to your Monitoring/Production Payroll process (Define

Processes)
5. Simplified configuration automatically defines the variable (PYP_PROC &

PYP_PROC_INST) that are related to each of your KPIs (Define Data Source Instance).
Step 1 for New KPI — Create the ABAP Code
Figure 52: Step 1 for New KPI — Create the ABAP Code
● Transaction Code = SE80

● Copy from an existing SAP delivered or RDS ABAP Class
- Ex: CL_PYC_EXAMPLE_KPI_AMT_CHART
● Update logic in the system
Step 2 for New KPI — Create the KPI Details
Figure 53: Step 2 for New KPI — Create the KPI Details

● Create the data source type with the information about our KPIS
● We will enter the run time class that was created in Step #1 that contains the logic
● Make sure the type category is KP for Key Performance Indicator
● Specify a short and long description
Step 2 for New KPI (cont) — Input & Output
Figure 54: Step 2 for New KPI (cont) — Input & Output
● Configure the input & output requirements for this KPI

- Input is usually PYP_PROC & PYP_PROC_INST
- Output will be the PYP_KPI_RESULT parameter delivered by SAP
- Output detail will be PYP_KPI which is delivered by SAP
- Do not need “status change reason of result parameter types” as this is only for alerts
- Do not need “asgmt. of semantic category” as this is only for alerts

Step 2 for New KPI (cont) — Icon for KPI
Figure 55: Step 2 for New KPI (cont) — Icon for KPI
We assign the Icon for the KPI.

Find PCC KPI Logo using SAP Icon Explorer website which shows list of standard icons:
https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/iconExplorer.html

Step 3 for New KPI — Group the KPIs Together
Figure 56: Step 3 for New KPI — Group the KPIs Together
● Create a “Class” which contains folders to group KPIs on the screen

● Assign Data Source Types from Step #1 within the folder
- Data source types contain the logic in the form of an ABAP Class (Run Time Class)
- Inform the system that the "Type Category" for this field is a KPI.

Key Performance Indicator Results
Figure 57: Key Performance Indicator Results
The folders configured in Step #3 which contain the data source instance in Step #2 form the
KPIs for our process
Step 4 for New KPI
Figure 58: Step 4 for New KPI
● The Class or group of KPIS are assigned at Process level when we create the process

- KPIs for Monitoring Process

- KPIs for Monitoring Process
● Group of KPIs comes from configuration “Classify Data Sources”
PCC Configuration: Alerts/Validations

Alerts/Validations
Figure 59: Alerts/Validations
● PCC Alerts or Validations can be anything that you want your payroll team alerted to
● It can be an error, a policy deviation, or just informational.
High Level Overview
Figure 60: High Level Overview
● Design and spec out your alert - What will it show and how will you get the data?
1. Create the ABAP code for the KPI in a CLASS and METHOD
a. Copy the delivered class such as CL_PYC_CHK_AMT_GT_SAMP and write your logic.
Can use the ones delivered in the RDS if that is part of your implementation
2. Create the details for each alert (Create Data Source Types)
a. Define the details of the validation such as Input & Output

i. Input is typically PYP_PROC & PYP_PROC_INST
ii. Output or what is returned is usually PERNR but can be something else
iii. Create the detail screens that the Administrator will see when this validation/alert
is assigned to them
iv. Create the status reasons that the Administrator can set for the validation/alert
when it is not an issue
3. Group all of your alerts into Classes (Classify Data Sources)
a. Each class in this configuration will be a folder
b. The previous PCC screens used the “Folder” functionality within this configuration
node but that is no longer the case
4. Assign your group of alerts to your Monitoring/Production Payroll process (Define

Processes or Simplified UI)
5. Variables are then automatically defined and related to each of your validations through
Simplified Configuration.
Step 1 for New Alert — Create the ABAP Code
Figure 61: Step 1 for New Alert — Create the ABAP Code
● Transaction Code = SE80

● Copy from an existing SAP delivered or RDS ABAP Class
- Ex: CL_PYC_CHK_AMT_GT_SAMP
● Update logic

Step 2 for New Alert — Create the Details for Each Alert
Figure 62: Step 2 for New Alert — Create the Details for Each Alert
● Similar setup to KPIs, but for our validations

● Create the Data Source Types with the details
- Tell the system in the “Type Category” field that this is for a policy check
Validations - Configuration of Input and Output
Figure 63: Validations - Configuration of Input and Output
● Configure the input requirements for this alert which is usually the process and process
instance
- Variables such as wage types or filters for specific groups come from the programming
● Configure the output or result that will be returned for this alert (Usually PERNR)
- Create list of reasons why this alert is acceptable (No resolution needed)
- Choose the detail screens that the Admin will see for these alerts
● Configure semantic reasons – we will typically use the following:

Validations - Configuration of Detail Screens
Figure 64: Validations - Configuration of Detail Screens
The details of what is shown on the Admin details screen is defined in configuration from an
ABAP Class in the “Create Data Source Types” activity within the step “Define Result Detail
Types/Parameter Types”. Use what is delivered by SAP

Validations - Detail Screen Output
Figure 65: Validations - Detail Screen Output
Step 3 for New Alert — Group Alerts Together (Simplified)
Figure 66: Step 3 for New Alert — Group Alerts Together (Simplified)
● Create groups of alerts

● Each process is assigned a single class for KPIs, but for alerts we can assign multiple
classes or groups
Step 4 for New Alert — Assign Alerts to Process (Simplified)
Figure 67: Step 4 for New Alert — Assign Alerts to Process (Simplified)
● Similar to KPIs, Alerts are also assigned at a process level, but there is a dedicated IMG
folder for this - Assign payroll policies
● Group of alerts come from previous configuration configuration “Classify Data Sources”
- This holds all of the validations within this class
Process Step Templates — SAP Delivered Configuration
Figure 68: PCC Process Configuration: Process Step Templates — SAP Delivered Configuration
This activity has the logic for the standard programs

● PYP_V2 are for the new PCC screens
● Can define whether a step is auto started and auto confirmed, or whether user has to
manually go in and start/confirm this step
● May need to come and build logic if you have custom steps or processes that you want to
build into your PCC process

Helpful Tip!
PCC Simplified Process Configuration: Simplified Configuration

Simplified Configuration
Figure 70: Simplified Configuration
● Two authorization objects are delivered with Simplified Configuration

- P_PYC_POL — Used to control access to policies on the front end (Policy Types)
- P_PYC_PYP — Used to Control access to processes on the front end (Process Types)
● Simplified Configuration is delivered within Payroll International —> Payroll Control Center
part of the IMG under its own Node
● Simplified Configuration was released in 1611 in Support Pack 29 & 30 (Business Function
HCM_LOC_CI_92: Business Function PCC Simplified Configuration)
- Release in Support Pack 29 and Conversion Tools released in Support Pack 30
● Process Context is required to use Simplified Configuration since we are no longer going
into configuration to pass the values
● Provides two front end SAPUI5 screens that allows more user friendly configuration and
cuts down the number of steps
- Process Configuration (hrpy_pcc_conf_1)
- Policy Configuration (hrpy_pcc_conf_2)
● Allows payroll managers to dynamically pick the validations, KPI groups, team members, &
generate the PCC date without the need for transports and IT intervention

● SAP has provided tools to move existing configuration into the Simplified Configuration
framework
Naming Convention for Policies and Processes
Figure 71: Naming Convention for Policies and Processes
● Simplified Configuration creates the Processes use a naming convention that is defined in
the IMG activity “Define Process and Policy Namespace” plus a date and time stamp
- Ex: ZPROC + 2016 09 19
● Make sure to use a good description for the Process Name to be able to clearly
differentiate different processes
Define Process
Figure 72: Define Process
● Selecting Payroll = Define Process Instance Parameter Values

● Selecting Policies = Picking which Validation Classes we should use (System will
automatically run Define process Instance)
● Team = Picking the Administrators
● Analytics = Picking which KPI Classes we should use (System will automatically define
data source instance)
● Recurrence = Define Process Instance has been merged into the Recurrences item on the
front end
- hrpy_pcc_conf_1
Note:
*The Generate Process Steps has been merged into the configuration of Define
Process Types
Define Policies
Figure 73: Define Policies
● You just create a group and then pick which validations are within that group
- hrpy_pcc_conf_2
High Level Overview (Simplified)

Design and Create Processes for your organization (Monitoring, Production PY, FI Acct)
1. Define the Process Template (Same as non simplified) - BACKEND
a. Use Payroll Area (Instance parameter) and Period (Time Parameter) as set
parameters
b. Define business version (New PCC screens or old) - Should use new (002)

c. Define the Category (MO, PP, OT)
d. Define the steps within this process template (Start Payroll, Run Payroll, Posting
Simulation) which are delivered by SAP
2. Define Policy Types - BACKEND
3. Define Process Types - BACKEND
4. Use Simplified UI to enter specifics - Front End
a. Define Payroll Area
b. Select Alerts
c. Select Administrators/Team
d. Select KPI group
e. Select Dates
Step 1 — Define Process Templates
Figure 74: Step 1 — Define Process Templates
● Create the Details for your process template

- Business Version
- Category
- Event Handler
- Steps involved in the process
V_PYD_D_PT& V_PYD_D_TY

The “Step Group Template” activity was used in the old PCC Process but is no longer used –
so you can just create a dummy value
Step 1 — Define Process Templates (cont)
Figure 75: Step 1 — Define Process Templates (cont)
Step 2— Define Policy Types
Figure 76: Step 2— Define Policy Types
● Create groups of policies/alerts that makes it so different PCC processes can have
separate groups of alerts

Step 3— Define Process Types
Figure 77: Step 3— Define Process Types
● Create the Details for your process

- Country
- Authorization name range
- Administrator Group
■ From T526
- Event Handler Enabled
- Program names and variants
- Period Parameters
- Groups of Policy Types

Step 4 — Simplified UI
Figure 78: Step 4 — Simplified UI
● Payroll Area
● Alerts/Policies in Process
● Team/Administrators
● Analytics/KPI Tiles
● Recurrences/Dates available in PCC
Helpful Tip!
● Before Simplified Configuration/Process Context we needed to enter data source
instances manually into the system and it was sensitive to how it was entered
- The PYP_PROC needs to be entered in all CAPS in your data source instance
configuration for it to work correctly
■ Z##_MONITORING_POLICY and not Z##_monitoring_policy
- Do not enter commas or dollar signs in your data source instance configuration
■ 10000 and not 10,000/$10000/$10,000

Helpful Tip!
Make sure your control record is not in “New” status or you might get an issue during
Monitoring where the test payroll result are not created properly.
Note:
This issue occurs only when CHECK ABRS is activated in the payroll driver
Helpful Tip!
If you are seeing unexpected results (Ex: Declusted results not being created) make sure to
check the spool log.
In some cases even though the activity completed successfully you may still have a message
to look into.

Helpful Tip!
Be careful of having entries in “Data Source Instance” configuration that do not have any
parameters set. This will result in a blank KPI tile for ALL PCC entries. It is not easy to identify
it when this occurs if you have a lot of configuration.
The results of the returned validations and KPIs are stored on the database table
PYD_D_RESO using the data source instance that you have defined.
This table stores the PERNR and also stores the administrator assigned the issue as well as
the status of the error message

Setup and Run Production Payroll Process Configuration

Understanding PCC Configuration: Production Payroll — High Level Overview
1. Execute your Payroll using a Front End
2. Setup your Payroll Process
a. Start Payroll - Release control record
b. Run Payroll - RPCALCX0
c. Simulate FI Posting - RPCIPE00
d. Initiate Policies (Payroll Data Validation -Run logic for Checks and KPIs)
e. Monitoring (View KPIs and Assign Validations to Administrators)
f. End Payroll - Exit Control Record

● SAP Delivers standard configuration (Step Template IDs) to start processes and programs
such as the control record and the payroll driver that you can use
- Setup is same as Monitoring, but we need to have different steps
- We use the same setup exactly for the Initiate policies and monitoring steps
Understanding PCC Configuration: Production Payroll
Figure 83: Understanding PCC Configuration: Production Payroll
Note:
Make sure to set your production payroll up correctly in the process template
configuration
● Need to set the category as PP (Productive Payroll)

Understanding PCC Configuration: Production Payroll (cont)
Figure 84: Understanding PCC Configuration: Production Payroll (cont)
● SAP Delivers Step Template IDs to be used with production payroll

● Make sure to set the correct sequence number
- Want to Start Payroll before we run payroll or we will get an error!
Production Payroll: Tip!
Figure 85: Production Payroll: Tip!
● Certain steps (Ex: Posting Simulation) require manual confirmation

- User needs to click confirm button in order to proceed to the next step
● In the case of Posting Simulation you may want to look at the details first before
proceeding which is why it does not automatically move forward

● The delivered logic for whether a process will automatically start and confirm is within
“Define Process Step Template”.
● You can view the “Payroll Process Step Template Attributes” folder for a particular Step
Template ID to see if it set to auto start and confirm.
● DS Allowed specifies whether a step allows additional activity, for example starting the
payroll run for erroneous employees only.

● Use parameter PYP_INTERVAL (Interval for parallel execution) as needed.

● Specifies how many people will be grouped into one job run for Payroll
- Ex: If PYP_INTERVAL = 100 and there are 1000 employees that you need to run payroll
for, the system will trigger 10 jobs of the payroll run
● You have to be assigned an alert in order to update data when the control record is locked.
● Your user ID also has to be assigned on the “Maintain user list for master data” which is
assigned in transaction PYC_ADM_TRANSACTION - PCC: Admin Transaction Conf.

● PYC_D_EE_MDCA is the assignment between PERNR and PROCESSOR to be able to

update master data when control record is in “Released for Payroll” status
Note:
The assignment occurs after the Monitoring step is started. If you are getting
an error that the control record is locked then try to un-assign and reassign the
error in the Monitoring step.
● Make sure you save a separate variant for your posting simulation than for your live
posting run in the RPCIPE program.
● Make sure you call the posting simulation variant in your production process when you run
PYC_STEP_GES.
● The payroll program (RPCALC#0) will work correctly for the same variant for Monitoring
(Simulation) and Production Payroll, but not Posting.

● Use Step Template ID PYP_V2_ASYNC_BATCH_BASE in your configuration to call a report

such as the Wage Type Reporter.
● You can then define the program and variant when we “Generate process steps”.
● Output can be shown on front end PCC screen.

Setup and Run Post Production Payroll Processes

Understanding PCC Configuration: Process Context Functionality
Figure 91: Understanding PCC Configuration: Process Context Functionality
● In Business function HCM_LOC_CI_88 Delivered in Support Pack 25 in February 2016 SAP

delivered report PYC_GENERATE_PROCESS_CONTEXT that allows you to automate the
manual configuration in the “Define Data Source Instance”
- For more information see SAP Note 2234541 - Payroll Control Center: Process Context
- SAP Delivers the program mentioned above at IMG location shown in the figure.
● This is optional functionality, but recommended
- Pre-requisite for Simplified Configuration
Understanding PCC Configuration: Process Context Functionality (cont)
Figure 92: Understanding PCC Configuration: Process Context Functionality (cont)

● Mapping Monitoring & Prod Processes is necessary for the process context functionality
so that if a validation is resolved in Monitoring then this is passed to the production
process to avoid repeated work
- This is because with process context the process and productive processes have
different check instances.
- Without process context they share the same payroll area so they can be linked.
● This requires data source types that are setup for process context specifically.
- The only acceptable inputs if you are using process context are PYP_PROC &
PYP_PROC_INST.
● You can use the same ABAP Classes used without process context, but the programming
needs to pass parameters such as the following in the code
- Payroll Area*
- Period*
- Personnel Area/Personnel Subarea/Employee Group/Employee Subgroup/Cost
Center
Note:
*Payroll Area & Period are stored in configuration so our ABAP developers can
pull back the existing values without needing to hard code in programming

● Once you set it up correctly, then the SAP standard program can be run and it will create
all of the “data source instances” for you.
Understanding PCC Configuration: Convert Processes to Simplified Configuration
Figure 95: Understanding PCC Configuration: Convert Processes to Simplified Configuration
● SAP has delivered programs to convert non simplified configuration setup to simplified
configuration.
- Process context must be used
● These needs to just be run one time to convert the processes and policies from non
simplified configuration to simplified configuration.

Understanding PCC Configuration: Post Payroll

1. Execute your Post-Payroll processes using a Front End
a. Posting to FI
i. Payroll Posting – Create Posting Documents
ii. Release Posting Documents
iii. Post Documents to FI
b. Bank Transfer
i. Pre-Data Medium Exchange (Pre-DME)
ii. Data Medium Exchange (DME) for Direct Deposit
c. Check Printing
2. Take a look at the delivered configuration to start programs that you can use
● Standard Programs for Financial Posting that should be used
- RPCIPE00 – Create Posting documents
- RPCIPDEL – Delete Posting documents
■ Needed in case you re-run the “Create Posting Documents” step because you can
only have one live posting run
- RPCIPA00 – Release Posting documents
- RPCIPP00 – Transfer Posting documents
● Need to save a variant of each of these programs listed above that will be passed to the
PCC

Post Payroll: Tip!
Figure 98: Post Payroll: Tip!
● Make sure you save a separate variant for your live posting than for your simulation
posting run in the RPCIPE program.
● Make sure you call the posting simulation variant in your production process when you run
PYC_STEP_GES.
● The payroll program (RPCALC#0) will work correctly for the same variant for Monitoring
(Simulation) and Production Payroll, but not Posting.

We use the front end user interface to create new periods
Understanding PCC Configuration: Off Cycle Payroll — Introduction
Figure 100: Understanding PCC Configuration: Off Cycle Payroll — Introduction
Beginning in Q3 & Q4/2017 you can now process off cycle payrolls using the Payroll Control
Center which gives us additional payroll flexibility.
A new user interface (hrpy_pcc_oc_1) has been delivered for off cycle payments for processes
such as correction payrolls & regular period on demands (Paying an employee Early).
Understanding PCC Configuration: Off Cycle Payroll — Technical Requirements

Support Pack required = HRSP 41 for EHP8 for initial release and newer functionality is
delivered in HRSP 47
● Business Function to activate

- HCM_LOC_CI_100 - Payroll Control Center: Off-Cycle Enablement (Reversible)

● Netweaver Gateway to enable
- PYC_OFF_CYCLE_SRV - Payroll Control Center - Manage Off-Cycle Payrolls
● Service to activate
- hrpy_pcc_oc_1
● SAP UI version 1.44+ is required otherwise the functionality will not work correctly
Understanding PCC Configuration: Off Cycle Payroll
Figure 101: Understanding PCC Configuration: Off Cycle Payroll
SAP has released specific step templates used for off cycle payrolls and off cycle payroll
follow-up activities that we can use in our PCC processes
Understanding PCC Configuration: Off Cycle Payroll (cont)
Figure 102: Understanding PCC Configuration: Off Cycle Payroll (cont)
We should use the Time Parameter BONDT for off cycle processes as we are processing a
single date and not a period

The functionality for bonus payroll in the Payroll Control Center is only available for Employee
Central Payroll customers using point to point replication from Employee Central.
For Off-Cycle payments and corrections the employee master data needs to be entered as
needed and then we can use the new UI to run an off cycle. For example if an employee needs
to be paid for a bonus and you do not want to wait for the next period we can do a correction
run to pay them, but first we need to enter the amount to be paid.
Then we can use the new UI to pay the employee

Once they have been run we can view their pay statement and view the payroll results.
For correction payrolls and regular period on demand the follow up activities are tracked and
must be done via the PCC Manager user interface in the same way that we have processed
existing processes.

Error Management - List of Administrators (Non Simplified)
Figure 121: Error Management - List of Administrators (Non Simplified)
Default implementation of admin list uses table T526. In the configuration step for
PYC_STEP_GES we define the SBMOD for the Administrator group.
List of Administrators Tip!
There is an ability to override the standard implementation of the Administrator list using
T526 but it requires using a BAdI. There are notes in the BAdI implementation on other
possible use cases for how you might want to use this. Not all customers may use T526.
Simplified Configuration — List of Administrators Tip!

Administrators are handled differently if you are using simplified configuration.
● Simplified Configuration uses the Business Object Processing Framework (Transaction
code BOBF)

Unit 3: PCC Roles
- Transportable Business Objects

■ PYC_PROCESS_MAINT_REQ and PYC_POLICY_MAINT_REQ
- For the Administrator list select and click on PYC_PROCESS_MAINT_REQ
■ Open node elements
- Select PROCESS_MAINT_REQ_ADMIN
- Here you see the table PYC_D_BO_PMRA
- Click on it -- Show the content
● BOBF supports a test mode on the PYC_PROCESS_MAINT_REQ node.
Error Management - List of Administrators (Simplified)
Figure 123: Error Management - List of Administrators (Simplified)
Simplified Configuration Allows the list of administrators to be defined using the front end
user interface.
Error Management - Team Errors
Figure 124: Error Management - Team Errors
Administrators can proactively assign errors to themselves. This is a separate UI5 screen
(different link) and we will use this in this class.
Set to Resolved — Helpful Tip!

● “Set to resolved” is used by the administrator to say an alert is correct. For example,
Someone gets a bonus putting them over the threshold for Net pay over 10K. We talk to HR
and decide the bonus is correct. We set this person as “Set to Resolved”.
● Alerts set to resolved during monitoring should not appear during production payroll
- You don't have to rework if you fix and resolve issues during Monitoring.

Relevant Authorization
Figure 129: Relevant Authorization
The new Authorization concept using P_PYD_INST (Payroll Data Source Instance) as of EA-
HRRXX 608 SP15 offers newer functionality.
This contains 3 different fields within this authorization object that you have control over:
● Field P_PYD_IAUT - Payroll Data Source Framework
● Field P_PYD_INST - Payroll Data Source Instance ID
● Field P_PYD_RDT - Payroll Data Source Result Details Type

Figure 130: Payroll Administrator & Payroll Manager
This authorization object is used to control access to data source instances, with possibilities
for fine-granular configuration based on the exact user role. Payroll Process: Generate
Steps → Transaction PYC_STEP_GES.
This program creates data source instances for us with the naming convention we define in
the Prefix of Process Authority ID field.
P_PYD_INST - Payroll Data Source Instance

Field P_PYD_INST - Payroll Data Source Instance ID
Each Process, KPI, & Policy Deviation/Error is assigned a data source instance in
configuration
Gives granular control:
● Which processes & KPIS managers can see
● Which validations administrators can see
● The Instance ID controls authorization to that data source instance

P_PYD_INST
Field P_PYD_RDT - Payroll Data Source Result Details Type
Administrator Example:
Can Admin see the Employee Information screen? Some Admins can and others cannot.
Figure 133: Payroll Control Center
The authorization assigned to your User controls what you can see in the Payroll Control
Center. For example, the user on the left can only see processes starting with 4P* and the
user on right can see all processes.

Figure 134: Data Source Instance
This authorization object is used to control access to data source instances, with possibilities
for fine-granular configuration based on the exact user role.
Authorization object P_PYD_INST gives us Micro level control of data source instances, for
example:
● A certain user can only see KPIS
● A certain user can only see Validations we setup that begin with ZPA and not ZPY
Allows us to create different groups that see different things

Unit 6
Lesson 1
Fiori Launchpad & HR Renewal
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Describe Fiori Launchpad Use and Navigation

Integration Overview
This unit describes integrating the Payroll Control Center on the front end. In our exercises we
are directly launching the PCC from the back end system, but in a real world scenario we
launch the PCC from the same place that end users do their tasks. Depending on the direction
of your organization this will differ.
This Unit examines different integration options, or where to launch the PCC from.
● On Premise functionality
● Cloud functionality
PCC Integration: Fiori Launchpad Tiles
Figure 155: PCC Integration: Fiori Launchpad Tiles
There are role and process based tiles. These are launched directly into the Payroll Control
Center.
This functionality was released in February 2016 in Support Pack 25.

Figure 156: Fiori Launchpad Tiles (continued)
There is a unique Tile for each process and each role:

● Monitoring
● Production Payroll
● Post Payroll
Users can create custom groups.

Roles control which tiles a user can see.

Unit 6
Lesson 2
Employee Central
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Recall Differences Between Employee Central Payroll and SAP Payroll
Figure 163: SuccessFactors Employee Central vs SAP Payroll
There are two ways to use EC and Payroll - with SAP Payroll or with ECP
Figure 164: SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll vs Payroll
Integration Overview - ECP & EC with SAP Payroll

Employee Central is always the system of record.

All HR events, including hiring or termination, are managed in EC.
Payroll relevant data is either replicated to Payroll or maintained in EC via UI “Mashups”.
The payroll administrator can execute all relevant payroll runs via the Payroll Control Center
which is embedded in Employee Central.
The employee accesses the pay statement in Employee Central, which is directly taken from
the Employee Central Payroll system.
The payroll information is sent from Employee Central Payroll to Financials. The posting into
accounting can be done automatically by using corresponding jobs if an SAP ERP Accounting
system is integrated by standard SAP interface technology (ALE).
Figure 165: SuccessFactors Employee Central
Fields need to be mapped between systems

Lesson: Employee Central
Figure 167: Integration
Payroll Control Center Integrated Directly into Employee Central — Launch from EC
New functionality for Q4 2017: Similar to the recently released end-to-end payroll hire,
customers can now include two more events in this guided process, Address Change and
Termination of an employee. Once configured (per country, event and required infotypes or
Mashups), the Home Page tile Complete Payroll Tasks allows HR/Payroll Administrators to
see at a glance, a list of all employees who might require additional payroll-related data, and
directly process them.
Figure 168: Integration
Configuration within EC
You must complete further steps to link your EC and ECP/SAP system, for more information
see the ECP Admin guide.

Payroll System Assignment
Figure 169: Payroll System Assignment
Configuration within EC
Every user using PCC also needs to have a payroll system assignment set within EC, for
further information see the ECP Admin guide.

Derive certain reports such as Paid Overtime, Paid Illness, and Payroll Results Overview
The output of the Payroll Results report in Advanced Reporting depends on which wage types
you selected in customizing activities when you configured Payroll Results Export as well as
which key figures you have selected in the report template.
Payroll Results Overview Reports:
● Gross
● Net
● Deductions
● Paid Overtime Report
● Paid Illness Report

Gross payments broken up by cost center. Overtime payments in a period by cost center.
CAN Cost Center OT
The reports are able to provide the payroll results according to a particular date. For example,
with a retro-calculation; you can provide the original amounts for a report date before the
retro-calculation and also the adjusted amounts for a report date after the retro-calculation.

Employee Central Payroll Overview and Product Scope

Overview
SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll Overview
● Hosted by SAP Cloud/Basis
● Cloud Model
● Global Offering
● Limited Customization
● No Middleware beginning in Q2 of 2016
- Point to Point Contact
Product Scope
Different level of extensibility/configurability compared to on premise SAP Payroll. ECP has
higher level of standardization.
● Allowed
- Configure schemas and rules
- Build custom payroll functions and payroll operations
- Create payroll reports
● Not allowed
- Core modifications (SAP Code changes)
- Enhancement spots in SAP Code
● Cannot use the following on Premise functionality with ECP
- SAP Benefits
- SAP Workflow
● Limited Scope of SAP Time Management
● EC custom fields can be used to replicate additional information to the corresponding ECP
Infotypes
● ECP uses a different version of BSI for tax calculations in the United States
- BSI TaxFactory SaaS
- BSI eFormsFactory

Figure 181: ECP Time Management
Figure 182: Countries for ECP
EC Payroll leverages HCM Payroll, but it is not the same.

EC Payroll has higher level of standardization than HCM Payroll.
Modifications of SAP source code are not permitted (basic cloud quality)
Extensibility options are limited compared to HCM on premise
EC Payroll is not a back door hosting option for on-premise functionality.
On-premise Time Management, Benefits, Org management etc. cannot be fully used with EC
Payroll. Instead, EC Payroll uses respective EC functionality (or 3rd party certified by SAP).
There is no “Lift & Shift” from HCM Payroll to EC Payroll. It is a new implementation best
described as "carve out & migrate".

Best Practices!

Figure 187: Payroll Processes & Key Performance Indicator
● Delivered Configuration for end to end Payroll

● Payroll Manager role:
- Monitoring
- Production Payroll
- Posting to Finance
● Key Performance Indicators
● Easily add additional processes and steps to delivered configuration, for example:
- Third Party Remittance
- Check printing
Figure 188: Payroll Processes - Delivered Processes

Lesson: Delivered RDS Content & Partner Content
The delivered configuration comes with each of the processes and steps within that process.
The RDS has the following naming convention for the delivered configuration starting with
YK_SMB.
Figure 189: Copied RDS ABAP Classes
Each KPI & Validation has a source Object Type that starts with the naming convention /
SMBERP/CL. We should copy this into the customer namespace such as Z_SMB_CL which is
shown in the RDS documentation. In our test system this week we use the naming convention
ZCL. Each KPI and Validation has data source type configuration which links the ABAP with
the validation/KPI.
Figure 190: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Figure 191: Employee Statistics/Payroll
● Total gross pay

- This KPI is to show the amount of money (gross /101) paid to all employees this pay
period compared to the past regular pay period
- ABAP Class = Z_SMB_CL_PYC_PY_KPI_EE_NUM
● Number of employees with gross pay
- This KPI is to show the number of employees who have WT /101 that is not zero

- ABAP Class = Z_SMB_CL_PYC_PY_KPI_EE_NUM_D

● Difference between periods in gross pay
- This KPI is to show the difference (as a percentage) in the number of employees who
have WT /101 that is not zero.
- ABAP Class = Z_SMB_CL_PYC_PY_KPI_AMT_D_CH
Figure 192: Finance Integration
● Payroll Posting runs in PCP0 not posted

- This KPI is to check whether there are any payroll posting documents that have either
been forgotten to be transferred to finance, or have failed to transfer there due to a
technical issue (like an update error in SM13)
- ABAP Class = Z_SMB_CL_PYC_FI_KPY_DOCS
● Check if finance period open
- This KPI is to show where a required finance posting period is not yet open. This helps
to ensure the relevant finance team are communicated to prior to production payroll
running to open the relevant finance period. This is particularly useful if the customer
uses month end accruals
- ABAP Class = Z_SMB_CL_PYC_FI_KPI_PERIODS
● Net Pay amount from /559 wage type compared to GL Account
- This KPI will check the posting amounts from a GL account (000061000) to match the
Results table - RT. The deliveredKPI looks at a single WT (/559), but customers can
change it to look at a range of wage types for their reconciliation
- ABAP Class = Z_SMB_CL_PYC_FI_KPI_NET_GL_R

We recommend using automatic activation, but this can also be done manually. The solution
contains configuration templates with ABAP Customizing,therefore the configuration can also
be performed automatically by using SAP Best Practices solution builder (= ABAP add-on
that allows implementers to select, personalize and activate business processes in the SAP
system).
The Configuration Guide - Getting Started describes all activities that need to be performed in
order to activate the automated content, from system and tool setup to activation of
automated business content and validation.
Automated activation is recommended if you implement the business processes in a new
system or client or if you evaluate the business processes in a sandbox environment.
Automated activation is the fastest way to get the new business processes up and running,
typically within a few hours.

Manage Configuration Overview

Manage Configuration is a tool found within the Payroll Control Center interface which allows
implementation consultants and customer administrators to configure validation rules &
analytics for payroll. What makes this useful is the configuration is no longer based on an
ABAP run-time class found only in the back end. For consultants this means you no longer
need a specialist in ABAP to create new alerts and KPIs, and for administrators you no longer
need to submit a ticket.
Note:
If using Manage Configuration, all ABAP based validation rules & KPIs are
considered legacy and are not compatible with the Manage Configuration
application. Although you may migrate existing legacy configurations it comes
with limitations.
There is a consideration that must be made before going with the Manage Configuration tool.
Many consulting firms provide their own specialized sets of alerts and KPIs based on the
legacy ABAP run-time classes. These may help lessen the scope required to implement as
they come in packages. However, most of these pre-configured packages are not compatible
with Manage Configuration and would have to be recreated in the application.
When setting up payroll processes (e.g., One Click Monitoring or Production) you must choose
whether the alerts & KPIs will be based on legacy formatting or Manage Configuration.
Hint:
You cannot use both legacy and Manage Configuration setup in the same process
– You must choose one or the other. For all net new customers, Manage
Configuration is considered the go-to when implementing PCC.
Enable Manage Configuration

The Manage Configuration application has a few pre-requisite switches and updates that must
be enabled to work in the tool.

1. Check current SAP release

a) SAP_HR and EA-HR must be on release 608
b) SAP_UI is updated to 7.54
c) SAP_GWFND is on 740 with the latest patch
2. Activate Business Functions through transaction: SFW5

a) HCM_LOC_CI_109
b) HCM_LOC_CI_107 (milestone switch enables all PCC mandatory business functions)
3. Activate SAPUI5 web services through transaction: SICF

a) /sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/
● hrpy_pcc_lib_v7
● hrpy_pcc_ckp_v1
● hrpy_pcc_ctl_v1
b) /sap/bc/ui2/app_index
4. Activate OData NetWeaver Gateway services through transaction SPRO: SAP NetWeaver
> Gateway > Administration > General Settings > Activate and Maintain Services
a) PYC_CFG_SRV
b) PYC_CFG_VR_SRV
c) PYC_KPI_CONFIG_1_SRV
5. Setup SAP security authorizations

a) SAP Authorization Object: P_PYT_CFG (Manage Configuration application access)
b) Specific Manage Configuration authorizations if required

Lesson: SAP Best Practice Content - Manage Configuration
Table 1: Manage Configuration Authorizations

Activities in Manage Configuration Required Authorization Settings

● P_PYT_AUT – 01 (Display)
View and edit KPIs ● P_PYT_CAT – KP (KPI Configuration)
● P_PYT_AUT – 02 (Edit)
6. Setup Role-Based Permissions (if integrated with SAP SuccessFactors)

a) Navigate to Admin Center > Set User Permissions > Manage Permission Roles
b) Select role to be assigned permissions and navigate to Permission > User Permissions
> Payroll Control Center > Manage Configuration Access
Note:
This allows you to access the tool in PCC, but it still must be enabled
through back-end setup outlined in this procedure.
Manage Configuration - SAP Best Practices

SAP’s Best Practices (BP) and SAP Rapid Deployment Solutions (RDS) are a catalog of
solution packages to support the SAP Business Suite. Think of the SAP Best Practices as a

packaged box of puzzle pieces; we provide them to you and you put it together, for the
customer.
You can access the solution packages from this website: https://rapid.sap.com/bp/
You will need your SAP User-ID to be able to download the content that is provided. Once
logged in, you can do a search for Payroll Control Center to see the relevant package. Just
note that the PCC package is not exclusive to Employee Central Payroll, it may be used for
non-ECP customers as well.
As mentioned in this unit, ABAP based KPIs or Validation Rules are considered legacy since
the introduction of Manage Configuration. SAP does have a solution package for legacy
validation rules, which this course’s PCC configuration is centered on.
The Manage Configuration RDS package can be found here: 3143779 - SAP Best Practices for
Payroll Control Center - Based on "Manage Configuration Application" - SAP ONE Support
Launchpad
This link is an SAP Note and requires an SAP User-ID to login as well. Once accessed you may
find supporting documentation, pre-requisites, and the installation steps for customers that
opt into Manage Configuration.
Manage Configuration - SAP Best Practices Pre-requisites

● Apply SAP Note (3048619) containing the upgrade to SAP_UI 754
● Apply SAP Note (3133485) that contains enhancements to the PCC framework to simply
configuration
● Apply SAP Note (3139074) that contains further corrections or applies support package
103 (A3) or higher
Note:
Keep in mind, these pre-requisites are for the SAP Best Practice solution
package! The Manage Configuration pre-requisites have been outlined earlier in
this unit.
If the pre-requisites are met, you must now install the SAP Best Practice package. Instruction
documentation may be found in the SAP Note (3143779). Too summarize the instructions,
you are essentially setting up a transport request of the pcc_sbp_impl_transports_final.zip file.
Once the package is installed, the following is provided as part of the PCC Manage
Configuration framework:
● Default logic classes for Validation Rule types and KPI types
● Validation Rule Types
● KPI Types
● Pre-configured Validation Rules and KPIs

Figure 201: New SAP Best Practices PCC Delivery Scope
Figure 202: SAP Best Practices Manage Configuration Package
46 validations and 15 KPIs are offered out-of-the box with the SAP Best Practices package.
These KPIs and Rules are international with a slight United States focus.
The following tables will now display the specific Validation Rules and KPIs are that provided.
You will notice some have been designed with the US in mind. Understand that each of these
Alerts and KPIs are not set in stone as configured -- You may update them in anyway desired.
