Enter commuting allowance amounts. Define the data by total amount or by commuting routes for each employee.

Before you can process commuting allowance in the payroll run, you must enter some data that establishes limits on the monthly nontaxable commuting allowance and define the commuting allowance amounts for individual employees.

  1. Update the current statutory allowance on the Variables by Category page (only if the statutory limit has changed).

    • PeopleSoft delivers the default value of 100,000 JPY for the variable CM VR NTAX ALW MX.

    • Select the category CMTX when you access the Variables by Category page.

    • Enter the new value for the variable CM VR NTAX ALW MX on the Values tab of the Variables by Category page.

  2. Enter the commuting allowance data for each employee on the Commuting Allowance page.

Use the Commuting Allowance JPN page (GPJP_CM_PYE_DATA) to enter commuting allowance amounts.

Define the data by total amount or by commuting routes for each employee.
