Hello Mike,
I have 2 questions :
1. What is your recommendation to minimize the tedious process
to do regression testing every time when support packages are
applied especially when there are modified/custom sub-schema,
functions etc. ? 2. What is the best practice to keep the up with the support packages
that impact localized payroll at the same time trying to minimize the impact of the other
HCM/FI modules belonging to different system owners who are not keen to upgrade because of the work to re-test ? Thank you. Regards
Kir Chern

Hello Mike: Regarding configuration of payroll calendars, 1. how far into the future should calendars be generated? 2. is it correct that the "current" calendar year payroll calendar should not be re-generated? 3. is there a correct time of year to create and change payroll calendars? 4. if the settings of payment models change, is re-generation of payroll calendars required? 5. do you have tips and tricks in this regard? Thank you for offering this product. Kind regards, Darcy Cogdell

Hi Mike, Regarding infotype 0014 and 0015 and overtime premium pay: We are required to ration across regular rate hours, non-discretionary bonus earnings which are processed using infotype 0014 and 0015 for the purpose of calculating overtime premium pay. Other than ABAP code, what would you recommend? Thank you, Darcy Cogdell

Hi Mike, Regarding staying informed and up-to-date with SAP improvements: It seems that those attending the entry level classes, provided by SAP, learn of new solutions. What is the best way to keep up with new functionality and new solutions rolled out by SAP when not at the entry level? Thank you, Darcy Cogdell

Hi Mike. If we run global payroll for different countries in the same system what would your recommendation be for setting up the bank keys for a new country or when upgrading with new support packages: 1) adding keys to transport and sending the transports to the productive system 2) transfer keys into each system (Developer->Quality->Production) 3) Or would it depend on differences from country to country? Thanks in advance. Hanne

How do you handle late master data changes after payroll processed but not yet completed> Do you use PU01 to delete the results and reprocess? Are there other options?
