For 2012 to 2013, the UK Year End legal changes for each version are to be included in the following pack levels:
| Version | Pack Level | Planned Release | Actual Release |
| SAP_HR EnhP6.04 (EA-HR EnhP 605) | 44 (21) | 19.01.2012 | 18.01.2012 |

| SAP_HR ECC 6.0 (EA-HR EnhP 602) | 78 (57) | 19.01.2012 | 18.01.2012 |
| SAP_HR ECC 6.0 (EA-HR ECC 6.0) | 78 | 19.01.2012 | 18.01.2012 |

| 4.6C | I4 | 19.01.2012 | 18.01.2012 |
Check your current Patch level and compare it to the above. We would recommend that you are as close to this as possible to reduce the amount of changes required during Year End.
Master Note = 1660205 - SAP_HR CLC-GB Jan 2011-12
List of notes included:
|
The P60 SAP script form for 2012 cannot be implemented via a manual application of note 1668275 alone, since the form HR_GB_P60_2012 is not included as an attachment as for the P11D, P14 and P60 Data Mailer scripts.
The only way to obtain the P60 SAP script for 2012 is to apply the entire relevant support pack:
4.6C = I6
470 = D1
500 = 97
600 = 80
604 = 46
If it is not possible to implement the above Support Packs in time to produce the Year End report, the following should be completed:
- carry out the manual updates included with OSS note 1677128
- reactivate structures P08_P60_N, P08_P60_R and P08_P35_R
- implement OSS note 1668275.
In addtion, for SAP versions 4.6C and 470, application of OSS note 1683760 (see below) may be necessary if the appropriate HRSP's have not been applied (I7 and D2 respectively). This note updates the namespace in table T50BS for 2011-2012 which is required for the submission of the XML file to HMRC.
If the following error is produced when submitting the Year End XML:
| Nr | Error Type | Description | Location |
| 7,515 | business-rule | The submission of this document has failed due to departmental specific business logic in the Body tag. Invalid Tax Year. | Period End |
| 6.010 | schema-validation | Your submission is not in the correct format - please contact your software supplier and quote Error Code 6010 | IRenvelope |
this note should be applied and the submission reprocessed to see if the issue is resolved.

NI categories F,G,H,S (COMPS) phased out from 06.04.2012
From 6 April 2012 contracting out of the additional State Pension on a defined Contribution (DC) basis will no longer be possible.
Schemes which contract out on a DC basis include occupational Contracted -out Money Purchase (COMP) Schemes, DC sections of a Contracted-out Mixed Benefit Scheme(COMB), Appropriate Personal Pension (APP) Schemes and APP stakeholder schemes.
For employers operating COMP schemes the 2011-12 tax year will be the last tax year National Insurance (NI) category letters F, G, H, and S should be used. From the 2012-13 tax year, these category letters and the NI rates they represent will be invalid and should not be entered on forms P11 and P14 for tax years after 2011/12. The relevant 'not contracted-out' rate and corresponding NI category letters should be used instead

A new report RPUNICG0_IT0069 has been created to delimit infotype 0069 records from 06.04.2012.
This report identifies the employees assigned with obsolete NIC categories and replaces them with the corresponding valid categories as listed below :
- F to A
- G to B
- H to R
- S to J
|
Once the changes have been moved to the test environment, test the following scenarios:
- run the new report RPUNICG0_IT0069 and confirm that all employees formerly on NI categories F, G, H and S have been transferred to categories A, B, R and J from 06.04.2012
Ensure that prerequisite OSS note 1659913 has already been installed.

Current Behaviour: when employees have more than one car in the year one of which has negative taxable benefit due to excess regular payments, the excess regular payments are used to reduce the tax benefit against the other cars.
Expected Behaviour: the excess regular payments should not be offset against other cars as the regular payments are car specific.

- create a new company car and confirm that the new fuel
type "Diesel/Electric Hybrid" is available for use. N.B.
this will require changes in DEV system to be transported
through to test.

- confirm that employees making excess regular payments do not have these payments offset against additional cars on the P11D report.
