    Third-party wage types are used in SAP Payroll to record payments made to third parties, such as taxes, insurance premiums, and other deductions. These wage types are used to calculate the net pay of an employee after all deductions have been taken into account. 
    
    How to use it: 
    In SAP Payroll, third-party wage types are created in the “Payroll Area” tab of the “Payroll Configuration” screen. Once created, they can be assigned to employees in the “Employee Master Data” tab. The amount of the deduction is then calculated based on the employee’s salary and other factors.

Additionally, it is important to ensure that the wage type is assigned to the correct payroll area.
