in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The automated process includes the following components:
Calculating benefit entitlement amounts
Clearing social deduction amounts
Preparing periodic payment amounts
Performing a new calculation if services are changed
Performing the net calculation and preparation of billing documents as the basis for the payment run.
Payment of the benefit amounts calculated is performed using the payment run in the component Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.
In SAP ERP, the SAP menu and Customizing activities for Social Services have been incorporated in the menu and Customizing settings for the application component Public Sector Management (PSM). To access the menu and Customizing settings for Public Sector Management, you must activate the mandatory business configuration sets (BC sets) for Enterprise Extension Public Services (EA-PS).
Social services processing, on the basis of social applications, social service plans and social deduction plans, takes place in the SAP Customer Relationship Managment (SAP CRM) System. The data required for calculation and billing is replicated from here to SAP ERP. The functions in SAP CRM are based on the additional mandatory business function Social Services — Benefit Calculation (CRM_IPS-4S_1)
.

The functions described in the following are only available if you have activated the business functions available for Social Services in both the SAP ERP and SAP CRM Systems.
Replication of Social Services data between SAP CRM and SAP ERP allows you to display the benefit and net amounts and the resulting overview of periodic payment and deduction amounts in a social service plan. Bidirectional data replication betweeen the two systems is supported as follows:
Header and item data for social service plans (SSP) and social deduction plans (SDP), the transaction history, status information and business partner and contract account data is replicated from SAP CRM to SAP ERP. The system combines SSP and SDP data as SXP data.
The amounts from the entitlement and gross payment calculation and net calculation are transferred from SAP ERP to SAP CRM where they can be displayed in the SAP WebClient UI.
During the entitlement calculation, the system calculates the entitlement amounts for the entitlement items in a social service plan and creates a corresponding gross entitlement amount document for subsequent processing. It also creates the deduction amounts in an associated gross entitlement document for each social deduction plan.
During this calculation, the system determines the gross payment amounts from the entitlement amounts that are to be paid regularly on a due date and creates a corresponding gross payment document for subsequent processing.
If a payment notice is updated, the new payment determined takes account of any existing gross payment documents and calculates any over or underpayments or adjusts future payment amounts.
The net calculation bundles gross payment items according to logical payment criteria (payment family, payment frequency, due date, payment recipient) in a corresponding net calculation document. The net calculation document contains the entitlement amounts to be paid out and any deduction amounts entered for a beneficiary.
In the CRM WebClient UI you can use the Net Display
function to simulate the amounts determined by the net calculation before the net calculation documents are generated.
During billing, you generate the corresponding billing documents on the basis of the net calculation documents. Payment items in a billing document are adjusted or extended so they are suitable for the posting data used in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) (for example contract account category, main and subtransaction). Billing documents support the program runs that can be executed in the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable component for Payments or Revenue Distributions.
