Understanding Payroll Elements

You must report payroll categories (employee classifications) and payroll elements (payment types), and report the link between the payroll categories and payroll elements. The system uses the associations to link types of employee classifications, such as management, to employment payment types, such as salaries or bonuses.

You use the Setup Payroll Category program (P75C504) to set up payroll categories. If you completed the setup for the CNAO Shared Information XML file, the payroll categories exist in your system. If you did not complete the setup for the shared information file, complete that setup before continuing with the setup described in this section.

See Entering Payroll Category IDs

You use the Setup Payroll Elements program (P75C505) to set up payroll elements. Payroll elements are types of payments for payroll, such as salaries and bonuses. You specify a payroll element ID and description. The system saves the values that you enter to the Payroll Elements table (F75C505).

After you set up payroll categories and elements, you use the Payroll Category and Payroll Elements Relation - China (P75C501)Payroll Category and Payroll Elements Relation – China program (P75C501) to associate the payroll category ID with the payroll element IDs. The system saves the data that you enter to the Payroll Category and Elements table (F75C501).
