The new SAP Payroll Control Center add-on provides a new approach in which potential issues are pointed out in real-time by the application rather than payroll administrators digging through information and trying to find issues themselves. With this functionality, payroll administrators only need to focus on issue solving and this saves your payroll professionals a lot of valuable time.

• Payroll data verification and reconciliation is manual, cumbersome and takes too long
• Disparate reports make it difficult to get clear insight
• Analysing what cause inconsistencies is a pain
• Dividing the work within the team is challenging

This check flags employees that work and live in different countries in the current payroll period (infotypes 1 and 6).
• Payment option exists
This check flags employees that are missing a given subtype of infotype 9 in the current payroll period. If the
subtype is not set it will default to zero.
• Duplicate earnings in infotypes 8/14/15
This check flags employees that have the same wage type in infotypes 8, 14, or 15.
• Employment Percentage = Utilization
Copyright NGA Human Resources. All rights reserved.
22
23. Examples for Post Payroll Checks
• Count Employees Paid
This check counts employees paid for this and the previous payroll period. If a threshold is configured it will show
the payroll area only if the difference is above that threshold (in %).
• Wage Type Between Limits
This check looks for a given wage type between limits, with employee grouping as optional parameters. It can be
used for any number of business checks, such as “employee has a wage type”, “low retro calculation”, “high net
pay” etc.
• Wage Type Exists for Employee with Given Status
This check looks for a given wage type for an employee with a given employment status, with employee grouping
as optional parameters. This can be used to check for existence of a wage type if an employee has a given status,
e.g. terminated employees with pay.
• Wage Type Variance Between Periods Above Threshold (%)
This check returns all employees where the variance in a given wage type is larger than a given percentage
between this and the previous period. The base value (100%) is taken from the previous period. This check will
only use actual results for in-period = for-period.
• Wage Type Variance Between Periods Above Threshold (absolute amount)
This check returns all employees where the difference in a given wage type is larger than or equal to a given
amount between this and the previous period. This check will only user actual results for in-period = for-period.

“Minimize
Manual effort”
The solution helps us to
minimize manual
processes currently in
place for auditing. This
solution is very
impressive!
“Solves big
pain points”
Great new innovation!
Reconciliation is a big
issue and this can really
solve it. The outlook to a
‘payroll process control
center’ is great. This can
fully automate our process
and help us to get rid of
an excel based process.
“Saves millions”
If this solution helps us
to reduce just 1% of
our total payroll
processing time this
would already save
millions!
