Update Category

Definition

Controls the update of the remuneration amount from the process steps to the entitlement, liability, offsetting and disbursement amounts for the remuneration items.

Use

For every detail line in a remuneration, the calculation of the result amount in the individual amount fields ( example: Update ) is controlled by using the update category

The update category defines whether none, one, or several of the following amounts in the remuneration item are to be updated or not:

  • Entitlement

  • Liability

  • Offsetting

  • Disbursement

The basic permitted update categories are assigned to each process step. The detail lines for a process step are checked accordingly.

In exceptional cases, updating results can be dependent on the previous commission case or the triggering method.

The update categories (all possible combinations) are delivered with the commission system. SAP recommends that you do not change them. Maintenance takes place in Customizing.
