The difficulty most customers find is that it is very hard to decide on what values to use for each instance. Our
recommendation is to configure meaningful values for most of the wage types that are input manually. You might only

Processingclasses
Processing classes are used during payroll calculations. There are numerous processing classes and the principal ones
should be known to you as a payroll consultant. Look at the SAP standard wage types starting with a letter to see which

Creatingnewwagetypes
Remember that when creating a new wage type it is always better to copy an existing wage type which is very similar in
characteristics to your new wage type. Using this method, will ensure that all the relevant table entries will get copied as
well.
