AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING INFOTYPES
In addition to the above infotypes, the following infotypes have been amended to reflect additional features for GB:
0002 Personal Data
o An additional filed ‘National Insurance (NI) Number’ field hasbeen added for GB.
o The given field is used to store NI no for an employee, which is automatically transferred to IT 0069. The NI no cannot be changed or altered in IT 0069 but has to be updated via IT 0002.
o An additional filed ‘National Insurance (NI) Number’ field has been added for GB.
o There is another UK specific field, which the standard screen 2044 doesn't show, but screen 2008 (usually used for applicants in the UK) does. It's the field "sexual orientation", which is stored in Infotype 3346 (same way as working time directive fields from 0016 are stored in 0280).
0008 Basic Pay
o In cases where the flexible benefits for Great Britain (GB Flexbens) has been implemented, a push button ‘flex salary’ is displayed in IT 0008 along with the other standard elements.
o This helps to view the pre-flexible benefits and post-flexible benefits salary for an employee enrolled in FBP.
0016 Contract Elements
o It has been amended to store beneficial loans and working time directive for the employees.
o The calculation method indicator in beneficial loans indicate the method of calculation (average or precise calculation method) to be used while calculating tax benefit that an employee uses on receiving an interest-free or cheap loan (beneficial loan) from an employer.
o If the WTD indicator is opted out, it indicates the employee has agreed to work more than the stipulated 48-hour average weekly limit.
A special note on working time directive fields in IT0016: Whilst they are displayed in IT0016, they are actually stored in IT0280. Whilst 0280 cannot be processed directly in PA30/PA20, it is important to know, where you find these fields, e.g., when creating an ad-hoc query or writing a custom report. The data is in database table PA0280, not PA0016.
0045 Loan
o Two additional fields have been added:
§ Loan category
§ MIRAS indicator
o Loan category field is used to specify the kind of loan that the user has taken, while MIRAS indicator is used to specify whether the loan was eligible under MIRAS scheme (mortgage interest relief at source) or not.
o However, MIRAS scheme was withdrawn post April 6, 2000 and hence, this indicator needs to be left unchecked.
