24 PY Payroll 24.1 PY-AU Australia 24.1.1 PY-AU-NT Net 24.1.1.1 Payroll Australia: Payment Summary 2004 Payment Summary related changes for 2004 include the following: - Printing Labels with Group Certificates - Validity Dates for the Australian Country Modifiers - Payment Summary/ETP Summary Listing Report (RPCL01Q0) Printing of Labels While generating the Payment Summary for the employees, you now have the option of simultaneously generating their address labels. The labels will the printed in the same sequence as the Payment Summary. There is a new section Label Print Options in the Payment summary/etp summary Report (RPCP01Q0), in which you can select the label specifications. For generating these labels, the report for Payment Summaries makes use of the Label Printout with Country-specific Address Editing report (RPLADR00). Note The default address printed by the Payment summary/etp summary Report (RPCP01Q0)depends on the Determine employee's address feature (13ADD) configurations. You however, have the option of specifying the order of priority by which, the report should check for the employee address. For example, check for Temporary Address first and if not found, print the Permanent Address of the employee. The system obtains the information from the Address infotype (0006). Note - While generating the Payment Summary, the Payment summary/etp summary Report (RPCP01Q0) prints the address valid as of the current system date, or the address that is valid in the period for which, you are generating the Payment Summary. The address printed in the labels however, will always be the last address. Validity Dates for Australian Country Modifiers There is now the option of creating multiple Group Tax Employer or ABN for a Personnel Area/Personnel Subarea (PA/PSA) combination. Earlier, you could only specify one ABN for a PA/PSA. The system differentiates these multiple ABNs based on their Start Date and End SAP AG 1
Date. If there are multiple ABNs within a selected period, the Payment summary/etp summary Report (RPCP01Q0) will henceforth, generate multiple Payment Summaries for the employee(s). There is a new table view Australian Country Modifiers (Assignment of company feat.) (V_T5QGP) that you can use to specify the validity date of the ABN for a PA/PSA. This table is an enhancement of the existing table Personnel area, business subsection (Australia) (T5QOP). From this support package onwards, the following functionalities will make use of the data available in the table view Australian Country Modifiers (Assignment of company feat.) (V_T5QGP): - Payment Summary - Termination Workbench - Superannuation - Remuneration Statement (Pay slip) Note - There may be a situation where you want to change the country modifiers for a previous period, for which you have already generated either the Payroll or the Payment Summaries. In this case, you will need to either run the payroll once again or regenerate the Payment Summary, depending on the requirements. You would also need to notify the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) that you are withdrawing the previously issued Payment Summary and submitting a new Payment Summary. - While generating the pay slip, the system will henceforth, read the new table view Australian Country Modifiers (Assignment of company feat.) (V_T5QGP). If you have a customized pay slip, you must ensure that they refer to the new table instead of the existing table Personnel area, business subsection (Australia) (T5QOP) Manual Generation of Payment Summary records in the Payment Summary infotype (0626) When you manually create the Payment Summary records, you must create them only for one ABN at a time. If you try to create a Payment Summary record for a period having multiple ABN's the system will display an error message. Payment Summary/ETP Summary Listing Report (RPCL01Q0) The output of this report used to earlier list the Personnel Number and the Employee Name together, under one column. The report now lists these under two separate columns. Effects on Existing Data Validity Dates for the Australian Country Modifiers For the purpose of migrating the existing data from the table Personnel area, business SAP AG 2
subsection (Australia) (T5QOP) to the new table Australian Country Modifiers (Assignment of company feat.) (V_T5QGP), you have been provided with a sample program (code). Ensure that you migrate the data to the new table before running any of the following functionalities: - Payment Summary (including the module pool for Payment Summary infotype (0626) - Payroll - Remuneration Statements (Pay slip) - Termination For more information on data migration, refer to the Note 694343. Warning - As the table Australian Country Modifiers (Assignment of company feat.) (V_T5QGP) is a client dependent table, ensure that the data is updated in all the clients. - Ensure that the data maintained in the table view Australian Country Modifiers (Assignment of company feat.) (V_T5QGP), for generating Payment Summaries, is the same while generating the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) file. A change in the data, between the two periods may result in a discrepancy. Effects on Customizing - Printing Labels with Group Certificates You can configure the Determine employee's address feature (13ADD) through the IMG under Payroll Australia -> Group Certificates / Payment Summaries -> Maintain Certificate / Summary format -> Maintain Subtype for Employee Address. - Validity Dates for the Australian Country Modifiers The table Personnel area, business subsection (Australia) (T5QOP) has been replaced with the new table view Australian Country Modifiers (Assignment of company feat.) (V_T5QGP) in the IMG under the following: - Payroll Australia -> Group Certificates / Payment Summaries -> Maintain Certificate / Summary format -> Maintain Employer Details - Payroll Australia -> Group Certificates / Payment Summaries -> Maintain Tax Tape Format - Payroll Australia -> Superannuation -> Creating Superannuation Funds -> Define Special Fund Rules -> Link Fund Modifiers See also For post installation instructions, refer to the Note: 694343.

24.1.1.2 PY-AU-NT-TX Tax 24.1.1.2.1 Payroll Australia - Tax on Lump Sum Payment in Arrears There is a change in the method of calculating tax on the Lump Sum Payments (LSP), paid retroactively to an employee. These changes are as specified by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), in the documents NAT 3348 and NAT 7905. The retrospective taxation method in Payroll Australia was earlier based on the Across financial year and Within same financial year timelines. The new taxation methods are based on the timelines: - Across 12 months This method is used when the LSP arrears is for a period older than 12 months from the current payment period. The calculations are as per the NAT 3348. - Within 12 months This method is used when the bonus or other LSP arrears is for a period less than 12 months from the current payment period. The calculations are as per the NAT 7905. The Payroll Accounting Australia schema (Q000) and sub schemas for tax and retrospective tax now compute tax on LSP according to the new calculation methods. Payment Summary reporting The system displays the information on LSP arrears only in the Payment Summary form that is generated by the Payment Summary 2001 onwards report (RPCP01Q0). - When the LSP arrears are equal to or greater than AUD 400 the system adds the: - LSP amount against E under the section Lump Sum Payments (whole dollars) - Tax withheld on LSP under the section Total Tax Withheld - When the LSP arrears are less than $400, the system adds the: - LSP amount under the section Gross Payments. It is not added to the section Lump Sum Payments (whole dollars) - Tax withheld on LSP under the section Total Tax Withheld See also - For post installation instructions, see Note 626989. - For more information on NAT 3348 and NAT 7905, refer to the website of the Australian Taxation Office.
