Make It0008 from Semi Monthly to Monthly

I have a bimonthly payroll of Philippines which is being run from 1st Jan 2014

to 15th Jan 2014 period.

I have inputted salary in IT0008 [say 10,000]

which I assumed is a monthly pay. Thus from 1-15 system shld pay 5000 ideally.

But when I run for poriod 1-15 it pays out entirely 10,000, (as if IT0008

has a pay in semimonthly format)

What factor determines whether Basic is

Monthly/Semimonthly ?

Configuration points

* P.A -> Payroll Data

-> Basic Pay -> Set Up payroll period for collective agreement provision

Payscale type and area is assigned to "ESG" = 3 and "Period Parameter" as

Semimonthly

* P.A -> Payroll Data -> Basic Pay -> Specify

working hours fixed by collective agreement

Payscale Type and Area is

assigned to ESG = 3 ; hours =40 ; Days = 5

*Feature PFREQ is maintained

for Philippines with value

* Feature "ANSAL" for country is set to ASAL .... (Hope this does

not have an impact)

* Also while maintaining master data IT0007 shows

=100.00" ; "WkHrs/period" = 80.00 (semi monthly)

Note my monthly working hrs

is 160 hrs

Am I missing something ?Wat other config needs to be done.

Expecting Gurus to assist

Thank you
