Changing the Hiring Date Without Rehiring
How do I change the hiring date that is wrongly entered without rehiring and changing personnel numbers?
There are three scenarios when you may need to change the hiring date:
1. After payroll is run - when the hiring date is before the actual hiring date.
2. After payroll is run - when the hiring date is after the actual hiring date.
3. Before the payroll is run.
1. Scenario 1: After Payroll is Run (Hiring Date Before Actual Hiring Date)
- Use PA30: Copy actions infotype - action type - incorrect entry, save and exit. Then, use PA30 again to copy actions infotype - action type - correct entry. Now, correct your entries, save, and your date is changed.
2. Scenario 2: After Payroll is Run (Hiring Date After Actual Hiring Date)
- Use PA30: Utilities - change payroll status - delete the "accounted to" field, save and exit. Then, again use utilities to change the entry leaving date, correct the hiring date, save, and exit.

2. What is the difference between App.Range and App.Group?
3. What is the role of Enterprise Structure and Personnel Structure in Time Management and Payroll?

Detailed Explanations
1. IT 0003 - Infotype
- Infotype 0003 stores data on the Payroll status and Time Management status. For example, it stores the date of the last payroll run performed for the employee. The system automatically creates this infotype when the employee is hired and updates it with changes to the payroll past.
2. Application Range and Applicant Group
- Application range classifies applicants according to hierarchical or functional criteria, such as executive employees or salaried employees. Applicant group classifies applicants according to the type of employment contract, like permanent or temporary contracts.
3. Enterprise Structure and Personnel Structure
- Enterprise structure specifies groupings for Time Management, enabling work schedules, substitution types, absence types, and leave types based on a specific personnel subarea. Personnel structure determines permissible work schedules and time quotas for employee subgroups.
4. Relation Between IT 0007 and IT 0008
- The system takes the employment percentage and average working hours from infotype 0007 and suggests them as default values for capacity utilization level and working hours per period in infotype 0008.
5. Job and Position in OM
- A job is a general classification of functions, describing a position. The position inherits tasks and characteristics assigned to the job. Positions can be fully, partially filled, or vacant.
6. Fields in IT 0007
- Work schedule rule, Time management status, working week, employment percentage, daily working hour, weekly working hour, monthly working hours, actual working hours, weekly workdays.

2. In OM, how to get details for a group of employees (e.g., group of Drivers)?
- Identify drivers based on their position and assign different job codes for them.
3. How are Time Management and Payroll integrated?
- Time data from infotype 0007 is used in payroll as the number of hours worked, with integration through schemas.
4. What are the other modules integrated with OM?
- OM integrates with modules like PA, Recruitment, Benefits, Training & Event Management, and more.
5. In TM, if a group of employees gets 10 days of annual leave, what will be the time evaluation status?
- Time evaluation shows details of leave as paid or unpaid based on configuration.
6. Scenario: A, B, C are employees. A and B get basic, HRA, DA. C gets Basic and DA. How to group for allowances?
- Assign wage types for basic, HRA, and DA to A and B, and only basic and DA to C.

- Create a symbolic account, assign it to Salaries GL Account, and complete configuration steps. Check the "Output Log" for errors.
- What is the basis of valuation for wage components like Provident Fund?
- Configure in view V_T511 and read F1 help for field Indirect Evaluation module.
- How to correct a deduction wage type showing a negative value?
