• Key Concepts: 
  A cumulation identifier is a unique identifier used in the SAP Payroll (PY) component to identify a cumulated wage type. It is used to group together multiple wage types into one total amount. This allows for easier calculation of taxes and deductions, as well as simplifying the payroll process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The cumulation identifier is used to group wage types together in the payroll process. This is done by assigning a unique identifier to each wage type that needs to be cumulated. The cumulation identifier is then used to calculate the total amount of the cumulated wage types. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a cumulation identifier, it is important to ensure that all of the wage types that need to be cumulated are assigned the same identifier. This will ensure that all of the wage types are correctly grouped together and that the total amount is calculated correctly. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The cumulation identifier can also be used in other SAP components, such as Human Resources (HR) and Financial Accounting (FI). It can be used to group together different types of payments or deductions, such as bonuses or taxes, and calculate the total amount for each group.
