PRINT is an useful Operation for understanding what the payroll is calculating doing line by line
PRINT - Print Out the Current Work Table Entry(Courtesy-SAP Documentation)
The operation does not change the values for the wage types and variables(Courtesy-SAP Documentation)
we will understand the use of the PRINT Operation with the help of an example
for the purpose of understanding, we are only limiting this to X013 Rule.
Assumption is ,we know its best practise to copy standard and rename it.
Before
PE02 TCD=X013 PCR
Table IT has /001 as 30000
double click processing and on a particular wagetype- double click on /001
we cannot see the output of each line
we can see the result in OT by clicking on OT
This is where the use of PRINT Operation comes handy
Same rule after adding PRINT Operation
we run the payroll and go to log
IT has /001 as 30000
expand processing and Double click on /001
Now we can see the calculation after each line don’t we?
RTE=TSDIVP .ie. 195.50
DIVID ARR ie. 30000/195.50=153.45
ADDWT=153.45
TIP: PRINT there is Operation and Function .So how do we /system know its Function or Operation is like below
PE04 TCD
When we click Display we can see PRINT prefixed by OP which means its operation and if prefix with FU then its function
I Hope this helps understanding the purpose of PRINT Operation and trust me it’s extremely useful PAYROLL OPERATION.
