Termination Transaction (PC00_M40_TERM)

Use

Use the Termination transaction (PC00_M40_TERM) to determine the amount payable to an employee at the time of termination. This transaction determines the amount payable against:

• Notice Pay
• Gratuity
• Superannuation
• Leave Encashment
• Reimbursements

When executed, the Termination Transaction (PC00_M40_TERM) updates the relevant records in the Additional Payments Infotype (0015).

You can select the wage types that the transaction must update while updating the Additional Payments Infotype (0015). For more information, see the IMG under Payroll India → Termination → Define Infogroups.

The transaction also creates a batch session to delimit relevant infotype records of the employee. You can process this batch session from Batch Input Monitoring Transaction (SM35) and disburse the payments in the subsequent payroll processes.

Features

Initial Entry Screen

In the Initial Entry screen, you enter information such as the:

• Personnel Number of the employee being terminated
• Reason for termination

For example, the reason for termination may be because of Resignation - N0, Retirement - N1, or a Voluntary Retirement - N2 of the employee. You can configure the different reasons for resignation in the IMG under Payroll India → Termination Workbench → Configuring reasons for notice.

• Date on which the employee submitted the notice for resignation
• Leaving Date

Termination Transaction (PC00_M40_TERM) computes the Leaving Date for the employee based on the Notice Date and the Notice Period. You can change the Leaving Date calculated by the system.

Note

• You can configure the different periods of notice in the IMG under Payroll India → Termination Workbench → Determine Periods of Notice. For example, the Notice Period for an employee in a supervisory grade may be two months, and the Notice Period for an employee in the Managerial grade may be three months.
• You can maintain the Notice Period details for an employee using the Contract Elements Infotype (0016).

Termination Payment Details Screen

In the Termination Payment Details screen:

- **Continuous Years of Service:** This section displays the number of years of employee service used for computing Gratuity and Superannuation. You can change the years of service displayed in the Gratuity or Superannuation fields.

- **Leave Encashment:** This section displays details on the employee's Leave Entitlement and the Leave Availed by the employee. Based on the details maintained, the Termination Transaction (PC00_M40_TERM) computes the amount payable to the employee as Leave Encashment. You can change the information displayed in the Leave Encashment section.

- **Payments/Deductions:** This section displays the computed values of the wage types affected by a termination process. For example, Stitching Charges Wage Type (M281), Gratuity Wage Type, and a Voluntary Retirement Wage Type. You can change the values calculated by the system.
