Structure

The SAP System uses the following formula to calculate the partial period factor:

(Planned working time or flat rate period working time – absence) ¸ divisor

All of this formula’s parameters are time entries that must be based on the same calculation unit. The following calculation units exist:

The parameters for the factoring formula are available in table PSP (Personal Work Schedule) in all three calculation units. In the personnel calculation rule, the calculation unit of the individual parameters is indicated by the above letters.

SSOLL contains the value for planned working time in hours, and ASOLL contains the value in work days.

When calculating the partial period factor you must specify the period that should be used:

If a WPBP split indicator exists for a basic pay wage type, you should use a partial period as the calculation basis. In this case, the period of each partial period is used as planned working time. In this case a "T" is set before the calculation formula parameters in the personnel calculation rules.

If there is no WPBP split indicator or if it is not relevant to the proportional calculation of remuneration, use the whole period as the calculation basis. For example, this is the case for recurring payments/deductions or additional payments. In this case, the period of the whole period is used as planned working time. A "G" is set before the calculation formula parameters in the personnel calculation rules.
