You want to implement a customer-specific payroll for a country. For this, you require a country grouping and a cluster ID for saving the payroll results.

Payroll, T500L, country groupings, molga, T500L_CUST, T52RELID, cluster

The list of ISO codes is available at http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes.

Use the country grouping and cluster ID that is specified for your country in the table T500L.  This prevents complications in case cluster IDs that are not listed in it are used for other applications.
However, if SAP later decides to provide a standard delivery for your country, you may have to perform additional actions.
Therefore, you should create as much of your own source code as possible in customer-specific includes and in the customer namespace.  (For example, the payroll program, own wage types, functions, operations, and so on.)
To save the payroll results, always also use the international structure.  Adhere as much as possible to the example of the standard countries.  (That is, make your additions as you would for a standard country, but without the NATIO substructure; see structure PAY99_RESULT.)

In particular for older implementations, you can also use the international structure for Molga 99 and cluster RX for the countries. However, due to the better evaluation options, we recommend that you use T500L as the starting point for each (new) individual country version.


In Release 4.6C, country groupings and cluster IDs were defined for numerous countries in the T500L table. These definitions are also the basis for projects implemented in lower releases. Use these definitions, if you want to develop customer-specific payrolls. The non-numeric country groupings can be used as of Release 4.0 only.

If you require customer-specific clusters for data other than payroll results, use the name ranges reserved in the TRESC table.

To create an entry in the T500L view, as of Release 4.6C, you must use transaction PECLUSTER to enter the relevant cluster ID in the T52RELID table beforehand. In lower releases, you must define the cluster ID as a domain fixed value for the RELID_PCL2 domain.

The T500L table was enhanced with Note 540898. The additions were also added to the list below. You can use the additional T500L_CUST Customizing table to restrict your view of the T500L table.

With Note 608912, new cluster IDs were created and entered in the T500L table, the 'IS' molga was deleted, and the cluster ID for the 'TM' molga was corrected.

With Note 748954, the VG and VI country groupings were added to the T500L table.

With Note 1000674, the ME country grouping was added to the T500L table and the ISO code of the YU country grouping was changed to RS.

With Note 1022651 the RO country grouping was deleted and 61 was created instead.

With Note 1159850, the EH country grouping was added to the T500L table.

With Note 1052406 the GG, IM and JE country groupings were created.

When you implemented Note 1439023, the cluster ID was created and entered in T500L for MOLGA 57.

When you implemented Note 1485037, the cluster ID "MO" was created and entered in T500L for MOLGA MO.

When you implemented Note 1636283, the cluster ID SS was created and entered in T500L for MOLGA SS.

With SAP Note 1673076, the cluster ID PQ was created and entered in T500L for MOLGA PS.

Below, you find the table T500L with all 217 entries:
