Evaluation classes are used post-processing of payroll. Take a look at the SAP standard wage types to see the most important evaluation classes.

Cumulation classes are used in payroll processing. In simple terms they can be likened to buckets which amounts are added to. Each cumulation class corresponds to a specific technical wage type. The technical wage type is always a value of 100 more than the cumulation class.

The cumulation class 1 (total gross) gets processed during payroll as /101. for example
