Calculating Benefit Reductions

Calculation of benefit reductions has been fully integrated in the gross entitlement calculation and the gross payment calculation. Reduction amounts are listed in the gross entitlement document as reduction items with negative amounts. Note the following special features regarding the reduction calculation exit to be defined:

A benefit reduction is only allowed in the system if the total produced by the reduction amounts and the associated entitlement amounts in an entitlement period is not negative.
Retroactive reductions are displayed as under or overpayments with a positive amount in the gross payment documents. Reduction amounts are negative for regular payments.
You define the tax category for reductions in a BAdI implementation. In this BAdI (BADI_PSSC00_GE_TAX_CATEGORY), you can also define the tax category for entitlement amounts and in doing so separate this from the entitlement calculation exit.
Archiving of benefit reductions has been fully integrated in the existing SXP and NCD data archiving.
