reimbursement eligibility amounts maintained here override the eligibility
determined by the employee’s 
Pay Scale Grouping for
Allowances.
Use
The system uses the details in this infotype while processing an employee’s reimbursement claims. This infotype is used by the following functionalities:
· Flexible benefit package
· Claims
The entries maintained in this infotype are used to determine an employee’s eligibility for a particular reimbursement claim. Payments against reimbursement claims, however, are not made through this infotype.
Eligibility maintained in this infotype is not the prorated amount. It is the total employee eligibility for a particular reimbursement component and is valid for a particular period. You can maintain the validity period in the IMG activity under Payroll India ® Reimbursements, Allowances and Perks ® Claims ® Maintain Salary Year and Period End Treatment of RAP.
You have maintained an employee’s eligibility for medical reimbursement as INR 15,000 that is valid for one year. In this case, the employee can make medical claims only upto an amount of INR 15,000 within the specified one year.

benefit package (transaction P16B_ADMIN) to structure the salary
components of his or her compensation. Depending on the configuration of the
salary component in the IMG
activity under Payroll India ® Flexible Benefit
Package ® Salary Components
® Define Salary
Components, the system updates the following infotypes:
¡ Individual Reimbursement infotype (0589)

Integration
Claims Processing
You can process the
reimbursement claims of an employee through HR-IN: Disbursement of claims module pool program
(HINCREMP).
The system
determines the wage type associated with the Claims component based on the employee’s Allowance
Grouping .The wage type is indirectly evaluated to determine the eligibility
amount assigned to the Allowance Grouping for the particular claim. The system
then checks if the wage type is maintained in Individual
Reimbursement infotype (0589). If the wage type exists here, the amount
associated to the wage type overrides the reimbursement eligibility amount
determined by Indirect Evaluation.
When an employee makes a claim, the system validates the claimed amount against the balance reimbursement eligibility for the validity period.
The approved claim amount is stored in either:
● Additional Payments infotype (0015)
In this case, employee receives the amount during the next regular payroll run.
● Additional Off-Cycle Payments infotype (0267)
In this case, employee receives the amount during an off-cycle payroll run.
