day of the month and recalculate if
required.
This brings up two different cases. For example,
assume that:

1. You are in Muharram 1438 payroll period,

and by the end of it you want to move to
November 2016 payroll period. Since
November 1st and Safar 1st coincide,
you have no gaps.

In this case, the payroll period following

Muharram carries on seamlessly. In this
case, you can use the standard
Organization Re-assignment action to
change to a Gregorian-based payroll
area.

2. You are in Rabee’ Al-Thani 1438 payroll

period, and by the end of it you want to
move to February 2017 payroll period.
Since February 1st stands for Jumada Al-
Awwal 4th, you have 3 days of
unaccounted payroll.

In this case, there might be different

solutions depending on your particular
scenario. For example, if you use the
standard Organization Re-assignment
action to a Gregorian-based payroll area,
when you run payroll for February 2017,

Solution
the system will calculate the
unaccounted-for 3 days retroactive to
Jumada Al-Awwal to fill the gap.
If you don’t want to pay for those 3 days
retroactive to Jumada Al-Awwal, as a
workaround, you can extend the end date
of Rabee’ Al-Thani 1438 payroll period to
make it end by Jumada Al-Awwal 3rd.
This workaround assumes that you are
using a 30-day divisor.
Note that such a manipulation may cause
a payroll error in function KNTAG in time
schema TC00. If this happens, you can
comment out the function, as it is used
only by Payroll: Germany according to
SAP note 66576.
You can still use SAP note 1869401 to apply the
30 days divisor logic for a payroll period.
 GOSI basis is calculated based on the first
period salary (i.e. January 2017).
 Please follow SAP note 2253911 for the
customizing required to change the base
(remove housing allowance).
 You can use BAdI
HRPAYSA_EOS_SERVICE_DURATION to
change service duration calculation
according to your expectation “”. For more
options, see the BAdI documentation in
Customizing for Payroll: Saudi Arabia under

 You can also use the class
CL_HRSA_SERVICE_DURATION to calculate
the duration in Hijri.
