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.
