Over payments dealt with SAP can be complex to calculate and difficult to manage. The following document provides some useful tips and insights into how over payments can be dealt with, both in the Indonesia and in other country versions of SAP.
SAP is a retroactive accounting system, i.e. it will automatically re-calculate an employee’s pay if any pay data on their personnel file is changed retrospectively. This means that SAP automatically calculates and reclaims over payments unless there is a manual user intervention.
The way that SAP deals with an overpayment depends on the amount and timing of the overpayment.
If the net overpayment is small enough that it can be fully reclaimed through the employee’s normal wage, then SAP will automatically reclaim it. SAP will recalculate and refund an employee’s pension and tax contributions, providing the employee does not have an emergency tax code and the overpayment is being reclaimed in the same tax year.
