Define All Default Values (SAP Library - HR Funds and Position Management)

Define All Default Values

In this step of the IMG, you define all the default values that are used to classify FTE budgets .

Unlike the IMG step

Define Values per Pay Scale Classification , you use this IMG step to define all default values (i.e. you are not necessarily restricted to defining values for a specific work area).

There are 2 ways in which you can define default values:

You define a default value in conjunction with a distribution key (in this case, you do not enter anything in the Expenditure type field) and in this way define the average pay for a pay scale group.

You define a default value or a percentage value in conjunction with an expenditure type and in this way define the default value for an allowance assigned to a position.

Note:

If HR Funds and Position Management is not integrated with Funds Management, you do not need to specify any expenditure types or distribution keys.

Requirements

You must have defined expenditure types in the IMG step Define Expenditure Types.

If applicable, you must have defined distribution keys in the IMG step Define Distribution Keys for Default Values .

If you want to define default values for special pay scale groups, you must have already defined special pay scale groups in the IMG step Define Special Pay Scale Groups.

Activities

You need to create a new entry for every default value. To do this, proceed as follows:

1. Specify a country grouping.

2. Choose New entries.

3. Select a pay scale type, pay scale area, and CAP grouping (employee subgroup grouping for collective agreement provisions) in the appropriate fields.

4. In the Pay scale group field, enter the pay scale for which you want to define a default value.

5. Specify a validity period.

6. Enter the default value in the Amount field, and the corresponding currency keyl in the Currency key field.

When you do this, please remember:

Either

enter a distribution key in the DK field and do not enter anything in the Expenditure type field
or

enter an expenditure type in the Expenditure type field and also enter a default value or percentage value.

7. Enter the default value in the Amount field, and the corresponding currency key in the Currency key field.

8. In the Time base field, enter the period of time to which the default value applies.

9. Choose Save.

Recommendation

Never change default values during a financial year - this might mean that the budgets of budget structure elements with the status Released might be exceeded.
