Payroll Organization configurations
Some basic settings must be 

made in Customizing to be able to run payroll in the SAP HR HCM System.

1. A period parameter and a date modifier are assigned to each payroll area. The period parameter determines whether payroll is run monthly, quarterly, weekly or for several weeks.

2. Payroll periods must be generated for each combination of period parameters and date modifiers assigned to a payroll area.

3. Date modifier links the additional date types with a payroll calendar.

4. Control records must be created for every payroll area. This control record controls the individual stages of payroll.

Payroll Control Record
A control record must be created in Customizing for each payroll area before it can be used. To Maintain Personnel Control Record use transaction PA03.

The payroll control record has the following functions:

1. It locks the personnel numbers, for which payroll should be run, so that master data cannot be changed which might affect payroll data when payroll is being run.

2. If the master data for the personnel number is being changed for which payroll is run, it locks the payroll for that time, so that nobody can run the payroll during this time

3. You can also get information on what is the next payroll period for which regular payroll should be run, up to what date is retroactive accounting carried out, and what status does the payroll currently has.

Payroll Process
When payroll is run master data and time data changes are not permitted. Also, payroll must not be run during master data maintenance. This can be controlled by payroll control records.

Phases available during payroll run

• If the function Release Payroll is selected from the menu, it locks the personnel number attached to the payroll area under consideration. Thus, it will not allow any changes to info types for this personnel number. Though changes that affect the future are still permitted. This function must be executed before starting payroll.

• If Check Result is selected, it doesn’t allow you to start payroll for the payroll area concerned. This way, you can check the payroll result, as nobody can change the payroll result.

• If Corrections is selected, lock-on master data and time data records for the selected payroll area are released. You can make changes in infotypes for personnel numbers having selected payroll area.

AWS services can offer an organization tools such as compute power, database storage, and content delivery services.

AWS launched in 2006 from the internal infrastructure that Amazon.com built to handle its online retail operations. AWS was one of the first companies to introduce a pay-as-you-go cloud computing model that scales to provide users with computing, storage or throughput as needed.

AWS offers many different tools and solutions for enterprises and software developers that can be used in data centers in up to 190 countries. Groups such as government agencies, education institutions, nonprofits, and private organizations can use AWS services.

How AWS works

AWS is separated into different services; each can be configured in different ways based on the user's needs. Users should be able to see configuration options and individual server maps for an AWS service.

PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web development. It was originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994; the PHP reference implementation is now produced by The PHP Group. PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page.

JavaScript often abbreviated as JS, is a programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification.JavaScript is high-level, often just-in-time compiled, and multi-paradigm. It has curly-bracket syntax, dynamic typing, prototype-based object orientation, and first-class functions. 

What is JavaScript?

JavaScript is a text-based programming language used both on the client-side and server-side that allows you to make web pages interactive. Where HTML and CSS are languages that give structure and style to web pages, JavaScript gives web pages interactive elements that engage a user. Common examples of JavaScript that you might use every day include the search box on Amazon, a news recap video embedded on The New York Times, or refreshing your Twitter feed. 

Incorporating JavaScript improves the user experience of the web page by converting it from a static page into an interactive one. To recap, JavaScript adds behavior to web pages.

What is JavaScript used for?

JavaScript is mainly used for web-based applications and web browsers. But JavaScript is also used beyond the Web in software, servers and embedded hardware controls. Here are some basic things JavaScript is used for:

1.     Adding interactive behavior to web pages

JavaScript allows users to interact with web pages. There are almost no limits to the things you can do with JavaScript on a web page – these are just a few examples:

• Show or hide more information with the click of a button
• Change the color of a button when the mouse hovers over it
• Slide through a carousel of images on the homepage
• Zooming in or zooming out on an image
• Displaying a timer or count-down on a website
• Playing audio and video in a web page
• Displaying animations
• Using a drop-down hamburger menu

2.     Creating web and mobile apps

Developers can use various JavaScript frameworks for developing and building web and mobile apps. JavaScript frameworks are collections of JavaScript code libraries that provide developers with pre-written code to use for routine programming features and tasks—literally a framework to build websites or web applications around. 

Popular JavaScript front-end frameworks include React, React Native, Angular, and Vue. Many companies use Node.js, a JavaScript runtime environment built on Google Chrome’s JavaScript V8 engine. A few famous examples include Paypal, LinkedIn, Netflix, and Uber!

3.     Building web servers and developing server applications

Beyond websites and apps, developers can also use JavaScript to build simple web servers and develop the back-end infrastructure using Node.js.

4.     Game development

Of course, you can also use JavaScript to create browser games. These are a great way for beginning developers to practice their JavaScript skills.

Why use JavaScript over other programming languages?

Aside from the unlimited possibilities, there are many reasons for web developers to use JavaScript over other programming languages:

• JavaScript is the only programming language native to the web browser
• JavaScript is the most popular language
• There’s a low threshold to get started
• It’s a fun language to learn

For more reasons, see our blog on why JavaScript is the best coding language to learn.
