Family allowance granting is handled by infotype 0160, which contains all the synthetic information needed for this purpose.

No changes are necessary for family allowance calculation.

Family allowance granting is subject to the following constraints:

• threshold date for reference income declaration (by family), which is needed to calculate the allowance amount; this information is associated to the breadwinner.

• age of family member

• availability and time validity of some documents to be provided by the employee, depending on the type of family member.

The Human Resources manager must be informed of the event (or events) that prevent family allowance granting, but he must also allow granting after expiry ("end of entitlement"), if needed.

Expiry dates are handled via a report (RPCSAFI0) which is to be executed monthly because it checks for any employees that are "close to expiry".

The most significant fields in this infotype are:

Currently only sub-type 2 (employee) can be handled;

This is the date in which entitlement to family allowance granting expires.

These two values must be considered separately because, for family allowance granting purposes, remuneration from subordinate employment must be at least 70% of the total income.

In this section you assign an indicator to the document type issued for family allowance granting purposes.

Some companies have to manage information on each family member, e.g. to manage benefits and the documentation that the employee must submit to obtain this further granting.

To this end, infotype 0021 (Create Family /Rel. Person) is used along with infotype 0160 with sub-types 2-3.
