Function documentationConfigure Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Claims

 

You can customize the FSA Claims application to suit your business needs. The self-service (XSS) adapter for Employee Self-Service (ESS) uses the HR: Field Properties (V_T588MFPROPS) view to retrieve user interface (UI) fields, such as mandatory, visible/invisible, and enabled/disabled. You can customize or personalize fields that are made visible using this view. You cannot customize or personalize hidden or disabled fields.

Note Note

The table in the HR: Field Properties view is referenced by several applications, so changes to this view are not ESS-specific.

End of the note.

Features

Personalized Screens

Employees can use implicit personalization options supported by Web Dynpro ABAP, such as hiding fields and setting default values to the input fields. These personalization changes are stored in the system until the administrator or the employee clears the personalization.

Changing the Layout

You can change the application using the following:

  • Configuration Change

    Administrators can change the arrangement of user interface building blocks (UIBB) in the guided activity floorplan (GAF) configuration, and they can add or remove fields in the UIBBs. This layout change is applicable to all users of the system and all clients.

  • Customization

    Administrators can run the application in administration mode and change the arrangement of the UIBBs, hide the fields, and so on. These changes are applicable to all users at client level.

Mapping a Backend User to a Personnel Number

Map a back-end system username to a personnel number (PERNR) in the HR system, using the Communication (0105) infotype, subtype 0001. When employees use the application, the appropriate PERNR displays.

Enabling the Concurrent Employment (CE) Scenario

To enable concurrent employment (CE), you must do the following:

  • Activate the Activate Concurrent Employment Customizing activity to make the following entries in View V_T77S0:

    • Group: CCURE

    • Sem. Abbr.: MAINS and GSVAL = X

    For more information, see Customizing for Personnel Management under Start of the navigation path Personnel Administration Next navigation step Basic Settings Next navigation step Basic Settings for Concurrent Employment End of the navigation path.

  • Register the FSA Claims application as a CE application using the table view, Group definition settings for ESS CE applications (V_T7XSSCE_GRP).

    For more information, see Customizing for Employee Self-Service (Web Dynpro ABAP) under Start of the navigation path General Settings Next navigation step Concurrent Employment (CE) / Global Employment (GE) Next navigation step Assign CE / GE Group Definition Settings to ESS Applications End of the navigation path.

Concurrent Employment Popup

When the application starts, an initial screen loads first. The central Web Dynpro component, Central Service: Concurrent Employment Assignment Selection (HRESS_C_PERNR_SELECTION) provides interface view (PERNR_SELECTION_MAIN). This interface view can be included as the initial screen UIBB in the component configuration for your floorplan manager (FPM) applications.

To use this application, include this interface view as the initial screen UIBB in the application’s component configuration. This component configuration and initial screen provide the CE dialog box for a CE employee, which displays in a CE-enabled system. The application is registered as a CE application using the view, Group definition settings for ESS CE applications (V_T7XSSCE_GRP). This component configuration also ensures that data tracking is enabled for the application.

Application Title Handling

The system uses the Component Configuration for FSA Claims (HRESS_CC_BEN_FSA_CLAIMS_OVP) to configure the title of the FSA Claims application based on the following:

  • CE scenario

In a CE scenario, the application title is concatenated with the grouping text of the selected personal assignment for the employee or administrator on the CE dialog box.

Example Example

In the CE dialog box, the manager selects the “Line Manager for FWS – Mr. Peter James” grouping text, and clicks to continue. The title of the application appears as FSA Claims: Line Manager for FWS – Mr. Peter James.

End of the example.

  • Non-CE scenario

    The title of the application is FSA Claims by default.

On the detail screen the system creates the application title using a combination of the subtype text from the T7XSSPERSUBTY subtype table, and the operations performed by the employee (for example, create, read, update, and delete).

Example Example

If the manager edits a mailing address record, the application title appears as follows:

  • In a CE scenario: Edit Claim: Dependent Care, Line Manager for FWS – Mr. Peter James

  • In a non-CE scenario: Edit Claim: Dependent Care

End of the example.
Track Data

As an administrator, you can track applications for their usage and you can use SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BI) to gather reports on this data. For more information, see BTracking.
