In this step of the IMG, you specify the way in which the system should determine how much financing is required for specific employee groupings.
You specify the following for each employee grouping returned by feature PM003 - Control Assignment to Groupings :
The settings you make will depend on whether or not your HR Funds and Position Management component is integrated with the Funds Management component. In each case, you can specify that the financing required should be determined as follows:
- On the basis of predefined default values
- No financing is required
- On the basis of the results of a simulated
payroll run
- On the basis of predefined default values
- No financing is required
In the IMG step
Define Groupings for Determining Financing Requirements you defined a grouping called 001 - Civil Servant: Simulation. You now want to determine the financing that will be required for this grouping as of January 1, 2000 by simulating a payroll run.
To do this, you enter the key 001 (for Civil Servant: Simulation) in the Grouping field, and the validity period 01/01/2000 through 12/31/9999 in the Start date and End date fields of the table entitled HR-FPM: Definition of Grouping for Origin of Funds Required . Then, in the Funds required field, you select the entry 'Required funds via payroll simulation'.
This will mean that a payroll run will be simulated to determine the financing required as of January 1, 2000 for persons that are assigned to grouping 001 (using feature PM003).
If you determine the financing required for a grouping by simulating a payroll run, you must have defined a variant for the payroll program in the IMG step Define Payroll Program Variant for Simulation .
