Define Generation Rules
In this step, you determine how time wage types are formed fromTIP entries.
The rules to be checked have been determined by the selection rule group for time wage types and the
day grouping
. These rules are checked in the order specified by the sequential numbers assigned to them.
The check is triggered by the procesing type which originates from the
time pair. The other conditions can be divided into three groups:
- Conditions Day:
According to the public holiday class, daily work schedule class, day
type etc., set conditions for wage type generation which pertain to the day.
- Conditions Time:
Specify whether the wage type should only be generated after a certain
number of hours, or if the relevant time pair must come within a specific time interval.
- Control:
You can determine whether the system should carry on checking the rules
after it has found one which applies. It is also possible to generate
the wage type with a fixed value depending on the duration of the time pair, if this rule applies.
Example
- The wage type MM10, overtime 25%, should be generated for processing
type "M" (overtime). The wage type should be generated if the overtime
was worked on a workday and the current day is not a public holiday.
- If the employee works more than two hours of overtime, the wage type
MM10 (overtime 25%) should be generated for the first two hours and MM20 (overtime 50%) for the remainder.
Requirements
The
wage types
which you wish to assign in time evaluation have been defined.
Standard Settings
The standard SAP system contains reference entries.
Recommendation
Count the sequential rule number in increments of 10. This makes it easier to insert further rules at a later stage.
Activities
1. At the start of the evaluation schema, you determined how employees
should be grouped for assigning TIP entries to wage types. Check the assignment in the
Check Assignment of Time Wage Type Selection Rule Group activity.
2. For TIP entries that originated from absences, time wage types are
generated only if the absences are valuated according to the "as if" principle. In the
Absence Valuation: Check "As If" Principle activity, check for which absence valuation rules
the Time wage type selection field must be selected.
In the Define Generation Rules action, set the rules for time wage type selection:
a) Decide which time wage type selection rule group you want the rule to apply to. Enter the group in the
Time WT sel.rule grp field.
b) The rules for time wage type selection can vary according to day
grouping. Decide which day groupings require individual rules and enter the number of the grouping in the Day grouping
field.
c) There can be several rules for the two above groups that need to be
checked. Enter sequential number of the rule in the Sequential number field.
d) Decide from which processing types the wage type should be generated. Enter the wage type in the
Wage type field and the processing types from which the wage type should be generated in the Valid
processing types fields.
e) Specify the days of the week on which the wage type may be generated.
Place a cross for each day of the week in the weekday string, "1" for Monday, "2" for Tuesday, etc.
f) Decide which public holiday class the previous day, current day and
following day may have for this wage type to be generated.
g) Determine the classes of the period work schedule and the daily work
schedule for which the generation of this wage type is allowed.
h) Determine the day type for which the generation of this wage type is allowed.
i) Decide whether the wage type is only to be generated if the TIP entry
lies within a certain interval. Enter this time interval in the Start and End
fields.
j) You should decide whether you want to generate the wage type only if a
certain number of hours exists for the processing type. Enter the value in the Min.
field. If the lower limit corresponds to the number of planned hours on the day, enter "S" in the Symb.
field.
k) You should decide whether you only want to generate the wage type for
the first hours of a certain processing type. Enter the value in the Max.
field. If the upper limit corresponds to the number of planned hours on the day, enter "S" in the Symb.
field. If the lower limit corresponds is to correspond to the number of planned hours
on the day, enter "T", if it should correspond to the number of hours
on the day for 100% employment percentage. Enter a "U" if it should
correspond to the average working hours per day in accordance with the work schedule rule.
l) If you have specified the upper or lower limit, you can stipulate the
processing types for whose totals the condition should be checked. Enter these processing types in the
Relevant proc.types field.
m) If you have defined upper and lower limits and a time interval, you can
determine whether the condition should only apply to TIP entries within the specified interval. Activate the Interval
field.
n) If a TIP entry lies between the start and end times, it is possible to
generate the wage type with a fixed value, that is, regardless of the duration of the TIP entry. Enter the required value in the
Fixed value field.
o) If the rule applies for the TIP entry in question, it is possible to
exit processing for this TIP entry and to continue time wage type selection from the next rule. Activate the Exit rule
field, if necessary.
p) You can exit time wage type selection for the TIP entry if the rule applies. Activate the
Stop time wage type selectn field, if required.
Further Notes
- The fields in the "Conditions Time" area are optional.
- If you have filled the Min. or Max. field, but have not
made an entry in the Relevant proc.types field, the system
refers to the processing type specified in parameter 2 when function GWT is called.
- You can apply the following example for exiting time wage type selection if a generation rule applies:
Your employees are paid according to day records. If an employee works
more than 4 hours, a full day record is paid, otherwise half of the day record is calculated.
You can use fixed values to determine a time wage type with number 1 or 0.5 (displayed schematically) as follows:
Processing types Min. Max. Fixed val. Exit Wage type
S 4.00 1.00 X abcd
S 0.00 4.00 0.50 abcd
If the employee works 5 hours, for example, the first rule applies. The
wage type abcd is generated with number 1 and processing is stopped. If
the employee only works 3 hours, the condition on the lower limit for
the first rule is not fulfilled, so the second rule applies. Wage type abcd is filled with the fixed value 0.5.
Wage type abcd is now available in payroll with the correct number for valuation with the day record.
Note that the sequence of the generation rules is important in the above example.
