  Allowance type is a feature in SAP Employee Central that allows employers to provide additional compensation to employees. This compensation can be in the form of a fixed amount or a percentage of the employee’s base salary. Allowance types are used to track and manage these additional payments, and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as providing additional benefits or incentives. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Allowance types can be created and managed in the SAP Employee Central system. To create an allowance type, navigate to the “Allowance Types” page in the system and click “Create New Allowance Type”. From there, you will be able to enter the details of the allowance type, such as the name, description, and payment amount or percentage. Once created, allowance types can be assigned to employees or groups of employees.

  When creating an allowance type, it is important to consider how it will be used and how it will affect payroll calculations. For example, if an allowance type is set up as a percentage of an employee’s base salary, it is important to ensure that the percentage is accurate and that it will not cause any unexpected payroll discrepancies.
