  • Key Concepts: 
    In SAP Payroll, a limit is a numerical value that is used to control the amount of money that can be paid out in a certain period of time. This limit can be set for an individual employee or for an entire payroll run. It is important to note that the limit is not a fixed value, but rather a maximum amount that can be paid out. 
    
    How to use it: 
    The limit can be set in the payroll configuration. It is important to ensure that the limit is set correctly, as it will affect the amount of money that can be paid out in a given period of time. Once the limit has been set, it cannot be changed until the next payroll run. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When setting the limit, it is important to consider the total amount of money that will need to be paid out in a given period of time. This will help ensure that the limit is set correctly and that no money is overpaid. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the limit, as this could affect future payroll runs.
