  • Key Concepts: 
    Payroll periodicity is a feature of the SAP Payroll (PY) component that allows you to define the frequency of payroll runs. It is used to determine when payroll runs should be executed and how often they should be run. This feature allows you to set up different payroll periods for different employees, depending on their individual needs. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use payroll periodicity, you must first define the payroll period in the system. This can be done by going to the Payroll Periods tab in the PY component and selecting the desired period. Once the period is defined, you can then assign it to an employee or group of employees. This will determine when their payroll runs will be executed and how often they will be run. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When setting up payroll periodicity, it is important to consider the needs of each employee or group of employees. For example, if an employee works on a part-time basis, they may need a different payroll period than a full-time employee. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all employees are assigned the correct payroll period so that their paychecks are accurate and timely.
