Understanding Payroll Category IDs

You must set up payroll category IDs before you generate the CNAO Shared Information XML file because you must assign the codes to the employee records that you include in the shared information file.

You use the Setup Payroll Category - China program (P75C504) to set up payroll categories. Payroll categories are groups under which you classify employees, such as a classification for managers or a classification for hourly employees. You associate payroll categories to a company and currency in the Setup Payroll Category - China program.

You use the values that you set up in the Setup Payroll Category - China program when you assign a payroll category to employee records in the Employee Record Information program (P75C008). You also associate payroll category IDs to payroll elements in the Payroll Category and Payroll Elements Relation – China program (P75C501). The system writes information about payroll category IDs in the general information XML file and the payroll XML file.

The system saves the values that you enter in the Setup Payroll Category - China program to the Payroll Category table (F75C504).
