• Key Concepts: 
  Cumulation interval is a feature in SAP Payroll that allows you to define the period of time for which payroll results are accumulated. This feature is used to calculate the total amount of wages and deductions for a given period of time. For example, if you set the cumulation interval to one month, then the total amount of wages and deductions for that month will be calculated. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the cumulation interval feature in SAP Payroll, you must first define the period of time for which you want to accumulate payroll results. This can be done in the “Cumulation Interval” tab in the Payroll Configuration screen. Once you have defined the period of time, you can then enter the payroll results for that period into the system. The system will then automatically calculate the total amount of wages and deductions for that period. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up the cumulation interval, it is important to consider how often you need to run payroll calculations. If you need to run payroll calculations more frequently than once a month, then it may be beneficial to set a shorter cumulation interval. This will ensure that your payroll calculations are up-to-date and accurate.
