      Hi Graziela,

       

      We were adding the MMU 2020 W2 BOX 12 configuration with Tax Form Group W068.  The correct amounts and the letter D are showing as expected.  The year 20 is not populating as expected.  Has there been a change related to this configuration?

      We would appreciate any information you might have for our issue.

      Thank you,

      Darci

      Hi Darci,

      Would you please confirm if the year 20 is not populating at all on Box 12? Or is it being populated with an incorrect value?

      Kind Regards,

      Good Morning,

      Since our original message we have found  Box 12 MMU  for the tax year 20 (Tax form field showing as  D20- USERRA 401K) is still not working as it has in the past.  When we produce the W2, the field is now only showing the first two characters whereas in the past it has been showing the first three characters in the W2 Box 12

      Past = D18, D19

      Current = D2.

      We found we could edit the text as 20D- USERRA 401K and then only the 20 showed in Box 12.

      Please let us know if you need any additional information.

      Does anyone experiencing issues with PR-W2 rerun? when we delete our spools and rerun, we could see the job count is very less when compared to original run and only few people have spools created.

      WASHINGTON CARES ACT TAXES TYPE 113 AND 114.

      Hi Team,

       

      We have employee in Washington who are eligible for WA CARES FUND LTC TAX: TAX TYPE 113 & WA CARES FUND LTC TAX ER: TAX TYPE 114.

      BSI has rescinded in TUB 70. Any idea when BSI will re-activate them or do we need to keep these taxes changes as optional rate override in BSI system. 

      Need your input.

      There was a notification from BSI yesterday saying they will reactivate those two tax types. But there was no indication of when they will come through. Our guess is it will be included in TUB 72.

      Graziela Dondoni and team - SAP has released a note 3136513 (BSI: WA cares fund tax updated for tax types 113 and 114) for the WA cares fund.  I believe this note is to reactivate these tax types in SAP. However, what is not clear is do we also need a corresponding TUB from BSI to fully reactivate these tax types.  As of now, these tax types are not active inside the BSI, so even if we reactivate the tax types in SAP and pass it over to BSI, BSI will still not calculate these taxes, right? could you clarify this for us?

      Thanks

      Chandra

      Suneetha Venati the SAP note 3136513 do not have any correction instructions.

      This way, this note cannot be applied in SNOTE transaction as there is no object change to be done.

      Basically this is an informative note.

      Appears that we will all be refunding the WA LTC tax now and waiting for another TUB from BSI to deactivate the tax again.

      Excerpt from article released on 1/27: That tax is now delayed until July 2023. Any premiums collected so far by private and public employers are to be refunded within 120 days.

      Graziela -

      Do you know if SAP will be removing the tax types they added for the WA LTC?  I know we are expecting BSI to release TUB 74 to rescind these taxes, but we are wondering how this is going to work with all the exemptions we have already set up on IT0235.  We know we can take the tax types out of the tax model to stop withholding the taxes, but we aren't sure we won't to undo the hundreds of exemptions we've already set up since WA has stated in the BSI release "Continue to maintain copies of exemption approval letters for workers who’ve provided them".

      Thanks for any input!

      Hello Alicia,

      Please check SAP Note 3136513 - BSI: WA cares fund tax updated for tax types 113 and 114.
      It has been updated with the latest news of WA Cares Fund.

      Sincerely thanks,

      Carlos -

      Thank you for this information, but this does not answer my question.

      I know BSI is rescinding the two tax types -113, 114 - but does this also mean that SAP will remove these tax types from their tables?  We have a large employee presence in the state of Washington and unfortunately we are one of the companies that went ahead to withhold the tax from these employees.  We also have hundreds of employees who got the exemption letter from the state and we had to exempt them on IT0235 so they would not have the tax withheld.  Per the BSI release we should continue to hold these exemption letters so we would like to also hold these exemption set ups on IT0235 as well, but if SAP removes the tax types from the tables how will that work?

      Oh, that's a good question. I hadn't thought of this angle. We also tracked the exemptions on IT0235.

      TUB 74 was released a few minutes ago (or at least I got the email notification a few minutes ago). I just looked through the cover sheet, and despite BSI's notice to customers and SAP's update of Note 3136513, there is no mention of anything for Washington at all in this TUB.

      Is this an oversight on the cover sheet? Are the tax types rescinded or not? It occurs to me that perhaps BSI has elected to spend more time on this due to Alicia's question about what to do with tracking exemptions on IT0235?

      We're in the midst of applying TUB 73 now, which reinstates the taxes, but per direction from our Legal Counsel, we are continuing to leave the taxes out of our Tax Model, so they still won't be collected from employees.

      What a lot of churn! Between last-minute changes from IRS and the same (with reversals) from Washington State, they've been keeping us all hopping!

      We were unfortunately told by our leadership to collect the taxes which we've done for two pay periods now as well as the last minute load of 100's of exemptions to not withhold.  Our plan is to just remove the tax types from the tax model as well.

      This has been a year end for the books for sure!!

      We are located in KY and just applied BSI 73 in test.  When running test payrolls; there is no KY wage or tax being reported or calculated.  Has anyone had the same issue?  thank you.

      Hello,

      We are processing our weekly period 1/2022 payroll and the URME Test run differs from the LIVE run with the Test run matching the wage type reporter total amount.  We have multiple company codes but actually pay from only one.

      We only process garnishments (HR Payee Type 4) in our 3PR and are in a freestanding HCM system.  It appears we have some missing HR Payee numbers when I review the T51RH table and several HR Payees have no HR PAYEE TEXT data.

      We select the Issue Separate Check to Vendor checkbox on each PA0194 record due to a limitation in our FI system.

      I create the FI vendors for our garnishments in our HCM system using FK01.

      I am stumped on what would cause URME itself to work differently for TEST and LIVE runs with TEST matching the Wage Type Reporter total of all our Garnishment WT amounts for the period.

      Any insight is appreciated!

      This is not the proper thread for this question, but I will attempt to answer it anyways.

      When 3rd party was released many years ago, there were issues with linked creditors, adjusting due dates, etc.  Because of this SAP does not recommend running RPURME00 for only one creditor type.  It does not cause issues in simulation, but can cause problems in production runs.

      There is nothing wrong with running 3rd party remittance for only garnishments, but you need to configure the system so it knows that is all it is running for.  You need to deactivate all other wage types from processing through 3rd party, and then you should be good to go.

      If you run 3rd party again in simulation without specifying the creditor type, and turn the log on - you should be able to see what wage types you have set up incorrectly.  While it is good to clean up the HR Payee tables, your first priority should be setting the wage types correctly.

      As far as the HR Payee tables, whomever deleted payees might have done it incorrectly.  If they did, you might still have supporting entries set up for wage type details assigned to a creditor that does not exist.  This is easy to find by adding the creditor back in development with a dummy name, deleting the lower level entries and then deleting the credit.  WARNING - do not ever delete Ceditors that have actually been used in production.  You can stop using them, and reassign the wage types but you need to leave the creditor there as production has entries referring to it.

      Hello,

      We are executing PU19 test runs and receiving a short dump for one tax company on the HR_F_MMREF_1_OH output.    We are on HRSP H0 And EA C1.

      This is the first year for the failing tax company to execute PU19 outputs.

       In the source code, the termination point is in line 679 of (Include)
       program "RPCTRPUT".
       The termination is due to exception "CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER" occurring in
        procedure "PREPARE_ITEM_FOR_TAPE" "(FORM)".
       This exception was not handled locally or declared in the RAISING
       clause in the procedure's signature however.
       The procedure is in program "RPCTRPU0". The source code begins in line 638 of
       (include) program "RPCTRPUT".
      It appears to be looking for a rate conversion but I don't see any rates are contained in the output format.
      Has any else had this issue?
      Thanks,
      Stanette

      In the standard system as currently delivered, when you run the Tax Reporter (PU19) transaction for Form W-2 and you have amounts for a 3-Digit Tax type for example, Tax Type 106, the following dump is generated:

      • Runtime Errors: CONVT_NO_NUMBER
      • Exception: CX_SY_CONVERSION_NO_NUMBER
      • ABAP Program: RPCTRPU0

      ENDIF.

      I would set a break point on the top line that I pasted, which is from the form you provided.  This is where it is blowing up.  Then, you can single step through to see the exact line that is causing you the short dump.

      Once you figure out the line that is causing the short dump, you should be able to look in the variables in prior lines to determine what is trying to be converted.  By doing this, you should be able to isolate what part of the form you are using that is causing the error, and figure out what is going wrong.

      Sorry that this is vague, but this should get you into the magnetic tape structure and subsequently get you to a field in T51T3 that access a tax form group or something like that.

      I am glad to try and help more, but you need to get further along in debug so we have a clue as to what is blowing up.

      Hello Stanette,

      The issue you are facing is caused when there is a delinquent record for the tax rates on table T5UTX.
      In order to correct it, you will have to update table T5UTX manually and then rerun the Sync Tool.

      You may refer to 2550829 - Synchronize Payroll Tax Data Update Error.

      Kind Regards,

      Hi Stanette,

      This is due the overlap for tax type 043.
      You need to change it manually in T5UTX to fix this overlap.
      After this you will be able to run the Sync tool.

      Hi Graziela,

      We have encountered an issue with /Qxx because of the application of OSS Note 3101020, which was released on Dec. 27th 2021.

      We have raised OSS Incident 16164 / 2022 with regards to this issue.  Please look into this at your earliest convenience.

      For example,

      Say, EE has /Q03 in RT and TCRT in last Biweekly period 26.2021, when the OSS note 310120 had NOT been applied yet.

      Also employee's /303 & /603 for FED is already over yearly taxable ceiling $142,800, say $152,800.

      After payroll run for period 26.2021, the note 3101020 was applied.

      Now, in period 01.2022, there is retro back to 26.2021 and the schema (ADDCU function in Final processing) is creating negative amount for YTD /Q03 in TCRT.

      This negative amount is equal to 142,800 minus the YTD /303 in TCRT.  In this case, it would be Negative 10,000 (142,800 minus 152,800).

      Hi Graziela,

      We see that SAP Note 3136613 has been released stating that BSI has decided to reinstate tax type 113 and 114.  Do we know what BSI regulatory bulletin/TUB this will be delivered in?

      We are currently at BSI bulletin/TUB level 64 and are holding off on applying current BSI bulletins/TUBs until the reinstatement of the tax types 113 and 114 are delivered.

      Thank you in advance for your prompt response.

      Hi Carlos,

      Thank you for the prompt response.

      I am surprised and concerned that BSI is releasing the update so late in the month.

      As I state in my comment above, we are currently on BSI Bulletin/TUB 64, therefore have not applied the BSI Bulletin that delivers the OASI max or the BSI Bulletin that delivers the 2022 Federal Tax Tables.  So we are not in compliance with the Feds right now.

      BUT if we were to apply up through BSI Bulletin/TUB 72, we would not be in compliance with taking the WA Cares Fund tax.

      Regards,

      Kelli

      I think the state of the law is currently unclear, pending a decision by the state legislature next week. It has to do with whether or not the governor had the authority to tell employers to stop collecting the premiums or not. For this reason, at the moment some employers are electing to collect the premiums, and some are not. Mine is not, so we have the taxes disabled in our tax model. And, we are waiting for 73 to become available next week before we move the latest TUBs in. We did need some of those TUBs, not only for the Federal withholding changes, but also for the latest PFML rate changes, but as the PFML change already came far too late, we handled that with an override in BTXRATE.

      The main thing that getting TUB 73 in will do is enable you to have a choice about whether you withhold premiums or not (via the tax model), whereas if you put 70 in the choice will not be there -- you won't be withholding.

      We plan to move 70, 71, 72, and 73 in after 73 is released, at which point we'll remove our PFML override from BTXRATE, but continue to control WA Cares premiums via the tax model until we get a determination from the legislature and our legal office. As for the Federal withholding rate change, the actual rates didn't change, but the wage brackets expanded higher, so the net result is that some employees may see a reduction in their withholding once 71 is put into place. That should retro back to the beginning of the year, meaning employees will get a one-time bump in take-home pay, rather than a one-time smaller take-home check. They're less likely to complain about that!

      Hi Matt,

      Yes there is some confusion, though in the Governors statement on 12/23/2021, the state of Washington is following the law and will have to begin collecting money from state employee paychecks as of January 1st.

      I think it was Carlos who responded to this same question earlier, though I can't now find the actual response. He said that the reinstatement of tax types 113/114 would be in TUB 073 and that is scheduled to be released on January 19th.

      I would be glad to try and help you resolve this, but it is tough given the very limited information you have provided.  I think if you would take time to post answers to these questions, it might even help you solve this yourself.

      1. What steps are being processed to create this repetitive error, and where are you seeing it in a spool?
      2. What system are you performing these tests in?  DEV?  QAS?  PRD?
      3. Are you running the utilities in the same system that you are getting the error in?
      4. Did you actually print the test adobe form from the note I gave you or did you just run the step.

      If the issue is in Tax Reporter then have you made sure your configuration is pointing to an appropriate printer set up for Post Script?

      Additional information I found from past issues.

       

      The Device Type names that you have provided are not listed in the SAP Central Note for Printers/device Types

       

      https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/8928

       

      However, you can again re-check this note with your printer model and check what suitable device types should be used. As you will find inthis note:

       

      "Device type definitions are stored completely in tables and can be individually adapted, modified or enhanced. If SAP performs such an adjustment for a customer, it constitutes a consulting service, and is generally charged seperately"

       

      SAP has now released the SAP Printer Vendor Program - https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1130927, printer manufacturers can develop and release device types for their printers.

       

      https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1100779 contains a list of all participants

       

      Information about the support for new printer models is contained in the "Printer Vendor Wizard Note" of the relevant manufacturer. A complete list of all "Printer Vendor Wizard Notes" is available in Note 1097990. If your printer model is not listed in one of these "Printer Vendor Wizard Notes", proceed as described in Note 1103826.

      Hi Graziela,

      I just got this error too, and I noticed that quite a few customers mentioned earlier in this thread having this problem (it is occurring for both tax types 33 and 43). Unfortunately, Note 2550829 seems to be out-of-date. For one thing, the Sync Tool no longer includes "Effective Dates," so everyone is doing "Option 3" all the time with every sync anyway, yet the problem persists. For another, T5UTX cannot be edited directly in SM30, the maintenance view V_T5UTX has to be used instead, so the Note should probably reflect that. And, finally, there should probably be some guidance as to how to properly edit T5UTX, because it's not always clear whether a line should be deleted entirely, have its start date edited (which causes weird artifacts and new rows to be inserted), etc.

      Since so many customers are experiencing this same error, many for the first time after years of problem-free syncs from prior TUBs, it would be helpful if we could see exactly what V_T5UTX for WA 033 and 043 is supposed to look like, since that is the one that seems to be hanging almost everyone up. Or, perhaps this needs to be escalated to BSI, so that they issue a "fix" in the next TUB?

      This is what the error looks like for me:

      Initial%20error%20message

      Initial error message

      And what the sync tool tried to insert:

      Sync%20Tool%20inserts

      Sync Tool inserts

      And what the table looks like before the sync attempt (and after, since it fails):

      V_T5UTX%20WA%20033-043%20overlaps

      V_T5UTX WA 033-043 overlaps

      It's easy to see the incorrect overlaps in 033 and 043 between 1/1/2011-12/31/2018, 1/1/2019-12/31/2019, and 1/1/2011-12/31/9999. I'm assuming that final row end-dated 12/31/9999 should have had a start date of 1/1/2020? But just directly editing that row to change the start date seems to do some weird things. And, since we all have pretty much the same error, this was clearly delivered as a bug by BSI.

      Therefore, I think it would be worthwhile for a Note specific to this WA 033/043 overlap error to be issued with clear, precise instructions on what to do here, since it affects every Washington customer. And, in the short term, what should these tax types look like before we sync the latest TUBs? (For reference, my starting point here is on TUB 066, and I'm trying to apply/sync TUBs 067-073).

      Cheers,

      01.01.2011 and 12.31.9999 for both entries WA tax type 33 and tax type 43.

      After this the Sync tool will be able to update the table accordingly.

      Could you try it and let me know?

      Hello Community,

      This week BSI has released Regulatory Bulletin 73, which reinstated Tax Types 113 and 114 for the Washington Cares Fund.
      Upon the installation of this Regulatory Bulletin on your system and the inclusion of these Tax Types on the Tax Model, the taxes should be calculated with no issue.

      SAP Note 3136513 (BSI: WA cares fund tax updated for tax types 113 and 114) has also been updated with this information.

      Carlos,

      Just a heads-up, in case you didn't see it in the other part of this convoluted thread, but BSI just released TUB 74, and despite their notification that it would rescind 113/114, in fact they are not in the TUB (at least not on the cover sheet, and I have reason to believe the cover sheet is accurate). There's nothing for Washington in this TUB at all.

      Firstly thank you for all your help/contributions. we are facing this below issue.

      As part of uploading 1099 MISC and NEC data to IRS, to create DME files as per latest 2021 updates of IRS from report RFIDYYWT, we were asked to apply notes 3095180 and 3125141.

      Note 3095180 was implemented successfully, but while doing DMEE file uploads as per note 3125141, we are getting below errors:

      "Error in node LOB Code: source field IDWTPARTNER-US_1042_LOB does not exist" for IDWTFILE_US_1042

      "Error in node 3E amount: source field IDWTPARTNER-US_1099INT_BOND_PRM does not exist" for IDWTFILE_US_1099INT

      Any information on this would be of great help.

      Hi Graziela,

      Created High Priority OSS Incident 71690 / 2022 for the following issue.

      Just curious why SAP has not delivered this as standard config.

      Hi,
      /Q01 is correctly included in Box 1 of W2.  (Tax Form Group 0001)
      But /Q03 is not included in Box 3 and /Q05 is not in Box 5.
      i.e. Tax Form Groups 0003 and 0005 do not account for corresponding /Qxx WTs.
      This is leading to incorrect reporting in W2, W2C, W3 etc.

      Every Employee who has a YTD /Q03 or /Q05 in TCRT is impacted.

      We are thinking that SAP should deliver this as standard config.
      Please review as we need this for 2021 W2 run.

      Regards
      Paddy

      Hi Graziela,

      For additional visibility, I am pasting below my response to Zach's comments in OSS Incident 71690 / 2022.

      Hi Zach,
      I agree that the tax - /403 is self adjusting.  But taxable wages (which is the sum of /703 and /Q03) is NOT self adjusting.
      So, when reporting to IRS, should we not be including the total taxable wages.  (Taxable - /703 PLUS Taxable, but not taxed - /Q03).
      By the way, /Q03 is not included in /703.  It is separately cumulated.
      Also, the combined YTD total of /703 and /Q03 count towards the annual ceiling of 142,800 for year 2021.

      Can you please check again based on this information above?  I will appreciate it.
      This should need a legal document.

      Regards
      Paddy

      My understand is that /Q03 and /Q05 were not tied to those boxes is because it is usually added into the /703 etc as these wage types self-adjust. (check the tax configuration) Whereas the withholding wage types do not self-adjust. They expect the employee to true up their withholding when they file their taxes.

      Regards,

      Kevin

      Thank you Kevin for your response.  Hope you are doing great.

      Looking through the payroll results for employees who have wages that are "Taxable, but not Taxed", I am seeing that /703 will self adjust only for Taxable wages.  "Taxable, but not taxed" wages are separately cumulated in /Q03.

      I am also seeing that /703 and /Q03 are cumulatively counted together towards the 2021 annual ceiling of 142,800.

      Is this your understanding as well?

      Regards

      Paddy.

      Hello Paddy,

      To be honest, it's been awhile since I've seen or run across /Q03 and /Q05. If /703 and /Q03 counts towards the 2021 limit of $142,800, then Box 3 should show both wage types; otherwise, Box 3 (based on what you're saying) would only show /703 and be under-reporting.

      I hope that helps.

      Kevin

      Hi,

      Did you make you configuration change to include /Q03 in Box 3 and /Q05 in Box 5 for the W-2? Or is there a SAP note?

      Author's profile photo Padmanabh Srinivas
      Padmanabh Srinivas

      Hi Randall,

      There wasn't any SAP note when I encountered this issue.  I created an OSS Incident.  SAP's response stated that they would provide the config change via SAP note only if we provide them a legal document, which requires that /Q03 go into box 3 of W2 etc.

      So, I resigned myself to configuring that quick change myself.  Fortunately we stopped using that WT which was generating /Q03 and /Q05.  That WT was the only one which was generating /Q03.  So, I didn't have to do anything.

      Regards

      Paddy

      Hello Everyone,

      Hoping everybody is doing well. If you have experience with the issue below, please share it. It would be greatly appreciated.

      Issue – Form CA DE9C is incorrect for Q4 2021.

      Background – We have few employees who were moved from TAXCO-1 to TAXCO-2 effective 11/01/2021. Therefore, for the first month of the Q4, they were in TAXCO-1 and for the remaining 2 months of the quarter, they were in TAXCO-2. Payroll results in TCRT are generated accordingly and the numbers are all correct.

      Impact – When we run the California State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) wage reporting for Q4 2021 for TAXCO-1, we are getting the TAXCO-2 numbers also.

      Example:

      CA Subject Wages in TAXCO-1 company = 100

      CA Subject Wages in TAXCO-2 Company = 200

      Expectation – When we run SUI report for TAXCO-1, we are expecting 100 in TAXCO-1 DE9C form and when we run SUI report for TAXCO-2, we are expecting 200 in the subject wages box.

      Actual Results – We are seeing, the total, which is 300 in the TAXCO-1 DE9C form which is incorrect. TAXCO-2 is correct at 200 in the subject wages box.

      Attempted Fix – We tried to do manual entries for these employees using utility tool, however, the deductions are not going lower than what was withheld in the first company. In our example, manual correction is -200 in TaxCo-1, however, we cannot go more than -100, because this is the amount that was subject wages in TaxCo-1.

      Note - W2 was also impacted due to this issue, however, we are able to fix the W2 issues by using manual entries, however, we are not able to do so for SUI forms.

      Related issues – This is impacting the other fields on DE9C, DE9, and DE3D. We are hoping the solution for above should also fix all these related issues.

      Thanks,

      Mushtaq.

      Hi Team,

      System not calculating employer unemployment taxes for State of South Dakota.

      An employee reside in south Dakota state pays unemployment to south Dakota state. i have configured BTXRATE table and BSI

      BTXRATE:

       

      BSI:

       

      Now when i run payroll for this employee. System is not calculating unemployment for this employee for current year.

      Screenshot of USTAX is given below. SAP system is not sending SD, because of which BSI is not calculating Unemployment for the state of south Dakota. System send only federal and calculate all taxes for Federal except south Dakota unemployment.

      SD 010 $4912.73 (this line is missing).

       

       

      I checked TCR and i dont see any record for SD unemployment for 2022. Screenshot of TCRT is given below. Please take a look and kindly let me know why system is not calculating SD unemployment for 2022.

      Hi Hemanth,

      Check your tax model for SD.  If tax type 10 is present in a tax combo only for "U" (R/W/U) in table T5UTM, then you need to set EE's IT 209 to SD in order for tax type 10 to calculate.

      Regards

      Hello Hemanth,

      I see that on the BSI Override the field "Override Max Wage" is set to 0.00.
      Please make sure that it is filled with the same amount of the field "Maximum Salary" on BTXRATE.

      You may also refer to 2998362 - BTXRATE entry is not being considered on the payroll calculation.

      Hi Susan,

      The mentioned form is a FI Form rather than a HCM Tax Reporter Form.
      As I don't work in FI, I cannot help much here.

      In any case, I was able to locate KBA 2371425. Hope it helps.
      In case it doesn't, my suggestion would be for you to report this scenario for the FI team directly.

      Also, for future issues with a FI delivery, I would recommend you to post the question on the community using a FI tag.

      Hi,

      We are seeing some differences in tax amount for tax type "Payroll Expense Tax" for NY METRO COMMUTER TRANSIT DISTRICT Tax authority NY1P, depending on whether we populate NY1P in  the Work Tax Area field or 'Source Tax authority" field of IT 208.

      Also, retro payroll back to 2021 is creating a short dump if we use NY1P in the source tax authority field, because we have assigned the tax model to NY1P in T5UTE only with a start date of 01/01/2022.

      Please let me know how you are handling this change to tax type 19 starting 01/01/2022.

      Thank you in advance.

      Hi Manish,

      NY1P is an existing tax authority, provided by SAP.  You do not have to create it.

      Just Populate NY1P in Source tax authority field of IT 208 for all of those employees whose Work Tax authority is any of NY03 through NY0E.

      Tax type 19 configuration is already provided by SAP.  No work for you there.

      Only posting to FI needs to be configured for /419 WT.

      Hello Graziela,

      We have a question regarding general instructions for online W2  forms. According to IRS section 2.4- Electronic delivery of form W-2 and W-3 recipient statement, it clearly states that electronic format complies with the guidelines in the document and contains all required information described in the 2021 general instructions for forms W-2 and W-3. For online w2 forms produced by SAP we do not have general instructions printed on back of form.

      So, do we have any plans to provide the general instructions for online W2 forms.

      Issue with /711 wage type.

      From TUB 74 and 75, BSI has activated tax type 11 for "CO, IL, MA, MN, NJ, NY & PA states". We have implemented this TUB and upon running payroll i see only /411 (for $21.00) and /711 is missing in the employee RT. When an employee has supplemental wage types of a positive amount.

      When the same employee has a positive amount of 2600.00 and negative amount of -100.00 in supplemental wage types. System process both and it brings a /711 of -100.00 and error out when we process payroll. Rule where it stops is given below.

      Did you check your TCRT for the YTD /711?

      We didn't want to retro this change because it's more than half of our employee population.  We expected it to act like all other unemployments and auto adjust for the /411 and /711.  It is adjusting for the /411, but it's not creating the YTD /711 that will be needed at the end of the year.

      We have had to retro some employees with the negative issues back to 1/1/2022, but it still doesn't create the /711 YTD entry in TCRT.

      Hi Alicia,

       

      Under regular payroll scenario, system calculates /411 and save this wage type under RT and TCRT. but it does not accumulate /711 in both RT and TCRT.

      As per instruction from SAP, i did retro one employee from 1st pay period of 2022, system did calculate correct /411 (Cumulated in both RT and TCRT). System did calculate correct /711 and cumulated in TCRT.

      We have more than 80000 employees in USA and the only option we have right now is to retro all of them from 1st pay period of 2022.

      This is the same what SAP recommends in the BSI 11.0 Blog that you have sent.

       

      Hope this helps

      Hello,

      We did not have that many employees impacted and most had already reached the FED FUTA 7K wage limit.  We do not have issues as it seems to use FED WT /710 for the calculation.  We did not retro any employees.  There should not be any concerns and this will only apply if the states do not repay the FUTA loan by 12/31/2022.

      According to the configuration i have added both /496, /D96 for Oregon and /499 & /D99 in Table T5US0. now the error is resolved.

      But SAP note talks only about /496 and not /499 (For Massachusetts).

      Please confirm doing the same will resolve the issue for /499 (Massachusetts state).

      Hello Hemanth,

      KBA 2671295 (Payroll error missing entry in V_T5US0) is a generic KBA and the same instructions can be followed if you face the same error for different Tax Authorities and/or Wage Types.

      Sincerely thanks,
      Carlos

      ​Hello All

      We are facing a tricky situation with Deferred Comp Deductions on W-2 and wanted to know anyone faced such issue in the past and if yes, what was the resolution. 

      Employee is working in NY and residing in CT. His base salry is deferred by X percentage and he also have Deferred comp bonus with some Y percentage. Percentages are calculated without any issues. However, the taxable earnings /701 is differing between NY and CT and the same is showing on the W2. We are expecting the taxable earnings for both the states should be same and without deferred comp earnings for both the states and also box 1 should be without differ comp deductions. 

      1. Is our assumption right?

      2. If yes, why the /701 is differing from resident state to work state? FYI, resident state taxable earnings are showing high in our case

      3. if /701 should be different for both states and which state earnings should show on box 1 in w2 is it resident or work state? 

      Early response is much appreciated!

      Thanks!

      Anyone run into the issue for Q1.2022, when running 941 using for current form HR_F_941_21_Q2 that the "Rev June (Q002)" has 2022 for the date (in the future) and in the tax reporter log the field Q002 is 2022?

      Outside of overlaying that variable Q002 with 2021, has anyone run into this?

       

      Regards,

       

      Kevin

      P.S. I wasn't sure if this was the right forum for this question.

      Hi Everyone,

      Do you happen to know how we can configure what appears in Box d (Control number) of the W2  form. We use .pdf for W-2 output.

      Currently the Box d has PERNR.  We want to see if we can change this.

      I will appreciate all of your pointers.

      Thank you.

      Hi Team,

       

      I have issue with Gross up wage types.

      on pay period 01 2022 employee reside and work in state of Colorado. Employee has gross up wage type with an amount for $1500.00. Now taxes including Federal + State (Colorado) + EE social security + employee Medicare is $800.00. Now System adds 1500.00 + 800.00 (taxes) comes out with total gross of $2300.00. System subtract taxes so employee gets a full pay of $1500.00

       

      on 12th pay period (06/01/2022 - 06/15/2022) they changed employee record effective 01/01/2022 where employee reside in Rhode island and work in Colorado. Payroll team request to retro this employee from first pay period and calculate taxes for both Rhode Island and Colorado.

      I set up a reciprocity in BSI which stared calculating taxes for Both Rhode island and Colorado.

       

      ISSUE:

      When we retro back this employee to Pay period 01 2022, We have gross up wage type for $1500.00. Now the total calculated taxes are

      Now taxes including Federal + State (Colorado & Rhode island) + EE social security + employee Medicare is $1000.00. Now System adds 1500.00 + 1000.00 (taxes) comes out with total gross of $2500.00, This happens with USTAX functionality. Now later in schema UTPRI set this back to $800.00 (As in first pay period) and set Rhode Island taxes to $0.00. now total gross becomes $2500.00 - $800.00 = $1700.00 as payment and system retro $200.00 back which is incorrect.

      When UTPRI reset the taxes back, why not it reset Gross up wage type amount as well so we dont have to face this issue. Please let me know if anyone else is having this kind of similar issues or is there a note to resolve this issue.

      Hi Elizabeth,

      The Note is still being put together I believe. SAP has just released a Legal Change Notification about it:

      Hello,

      I am not sure if this is the proper blog to ask the question, if not, please direct to the proper one.

      BSI was planning to release Cyclic H on July 16th as per their site. It was confirmed by them that it was ready but were waiting for it to be certified by SAP before releasing it to their customers. When can we expect SAP to be done with the certification process?

      Thx

      RL

      Hello RL,

      For questions about BSI TaxFactory you can use the blog:

      TaxFactory 11.0 | SAP Blogs

      Regarding your question about cyclic H, I have talked to the Developer and he will clarify this with BSI. Once I get any news I will let you know.

      Hello RL,

      I received an update from Developer.

      SAP didn´t received the cyclic to certify, this is planned to be done still on July. After this, the cyclic will be certified. We reached out BSI as well and they informed the information on their website is subject of changes. You can reach BSI via email if you have further questions.

      Kind regards,
