Configuring IT 0008 (Basic Pay) for automatic loading of pay scales

Question

I have hourly employee’s that are on Hourly Pay Scale and salaried employees on pay grade. How do I configure my IT0008 to make this automatic when I am creating a record for a specific employee?

Answer

This is controlled in the feature TARIF where the return value must have the form xx/yy/z, in which xx is the pay scale type, yy the pay scale area, and z the planned remuneration type. The planned remuneration type can be ‘S’ to enable selection of pay grade values from table T710, ‘P’ to enable default values from the Planned Compensation Infotype  of the EE’s position. If a there is no value selected for the planned remuneration type in the feature, the selection will come from table T510 which is the Pay Scale table.
