Further information about the year end will be posted in this thread.
Kindly apply the relevant support package to get the note changes.
Kindly follow the master note, sdn and WIKI, we will update it immediately. We will try to reduce the time lag in the year end page.
These notes should not have been released for customers.
Mid January, I have reported a case, as a customer (Transat AT).
We requested a correction for specific case where an employee is moving into several provinces during a year and getting back into its original province (ON for 3 month, QC for 3 months, ON for 3 months and BC for 3 months).
Employee is paying EI and CPP contribution, in ON, QC and reach the maximum elligible when he returns in ON.
Currently, T4 is not correctly filling the boxes 24 and 26. Box G on R1 is also incorrect.
SAP is working on this issue but we still have some fine tuning to do.
It would also be useful to know when the documents (under "Documentation") were posted.
Vivian Ying mentioned (in an other thread) that the release calendar can be found under: https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/ocs-schedules (or enter service.sap.com/ocs-schedules in the web address box) P.S. SAP has corrected the date shown on the left menu section, but the Master Note for Year End 2013 still mentions Year End 2012.
For more information : http://www.asug.com/events and look on Oct. 31st.
As you mentioned today they should release some OSS notes, is there any chance to get by End of the day?
The combo form will be on paper size legal this year. Check your printer en envelopes if your are printing from SAP.
Try t-code stms_import to see the Year-End Transports, as they are not "regular" transports, and they must be imported into each environment.
On our side (HR-Payroll), we still enter them into our "Transport Log" and document their approvals and dates of applications into QAT and PRD.
P.S. I don't think that we have implemented Note 1896147 yet as it was supposed to affect only Quebec, but our Basis team implemented Note 1947304 and it generated a Workbench transport. Further analysis showed that both transports include changes to program RPCYERKN, and I've mentioned it to our Year-End Lead.
/172 and /173 are credit for the Quebec Health Tax. If you don't deal with Quebec Employee, you don't have to run the utility. The utility is to convert wage types that are included in /156 and /161. There's a list in Jean-François Doré YE update that are in /156, /161 but should not be in /172, /173.
The utility is missing status bar(icons) for the screen. What you can do if needed, just modify the wage type that should be included in /172, /173 at the beginning of your first pay 2014.
But the RCA value for 2014 is 11 138.
There is also an option to use the indexing factor plus a constant, but adding a constant of 1 for everybody would not be correct as other amounts may not need to be adjusted.
I will second Susan. For monthly or semi-monthly payroll periods, the SAP delivered constants for Federal and Provincial Indexing Factor has the appropriate validity period (beginning on January 1st), but it is not adequate for those of us with bi-weekly pay periods.
Every year, after importing the Year-End Note, we modify the validity period of those constants so that their begin date coincides with the earliest "First day of Pay Period 01" of the new year (out of all our Payroll Periods).
a. Search notes with Application area as " PY-CA*"
*, Because, the notes with app area PY-CA-RP / PY-CA-YE will get missed, If you use PY-CA alone.
b. Pl. search the Master note 1905573 , as Versions keep changing for any update and recent version is 12, which was released on 28th.
We have noticed in our system that SAP removed the wage type from Footnote Code 43 (Canadian Forces personnel and police deduction) and re-mapped the wage type to Box 14 on the T4 in 2013.
Code 43 no longer appears and will now need to be re-mapped in our system.
Thank you for posting the info re Canadian Payroll Year-end webex this Thursday. Really appreciate it.
