By editing the figures in costing scenarios, you can see how anticipated organizational or pay structure changes will impact personnel costs. To edit scenarios, you can work within Personnel Cost Planning or if you prefer working with a spreadsheet, you can download the scenarios into EXCEL™.

You edit scenarios one scenario group at a time. For example, if your scenario includes four scenario groups, you cannot retrieve all four scenario groups at the same time and edit them. You must select one scenario group to use.

The process of editing costing scenarios does not vary according to the type of scenario you use. The procedures are the same for projected pay, basic pay and payroll result scenarios.

Within Personnel Cost Planning, you make changes at the following levels:

• Cost object level

• Cost item level

You can edit costing figures in the following ways:

1. Directly increase or decrease the value of cost items using a fixed amount or a percentage rate.
2. Increase or decrease the quantity of cost objects assigned to organizational units or cost centers.
3. Add new or deleting existing cost objects or elements.
4. Adjust the scenario period for cost objects or elements.
