• Key Concepts: 
  A substitution record in SAP PY-JP Japan Payroll is a record that is used to substitute the values of certain fields in the payroll calculation. It allows for the substitution of values from one field to another, such as from a wage type to a different wage type. This can be used to adjust the payroll calculation for specific employees or groups of employees. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Substitution records can be created in SAP PY-JP Japan Payroll by navigating to the “Substitution Records” tab in the payroll configuration. From there, you can create a new substitution record and specify which fields should be substituted and what values should be substituted for them. Once the substitution record is saved, it will be applied to all payroll calculations that use the specified fields. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating substitution records, it is important to ensure that the values being substituted are valid for the field they are being substituted into. For example, if you are substituting a wage type value into a field that only accepts numerical values, you must make sure that the wage type value is a valid numerical value.
