Generating Mass Adjustment Reasons 

Use

If a group of employees experiences an organizational change, as a result of multiple identical adjustment reasons must be created, you can follow this procedure to create the appropriate Adjustment Reason records (infotype 0378) in a single step rather than having to create them individually. For example, you may need to generate large numbers of adjustment reasons as a result of restructuring within your organization.

Since the mass generation program locks the relevant employees while creating records, you should consider scheduling it to run in the background when no other processing is taking place, for example, during the night.

Procedure

  1. Choose Human Resources ® Personnel Management ® Benefits ® Group Processing ® Adjustment Reason.
  2. Specify the key date for which you want to generate adjustment reasons.

    3. This date is the validity start date for the Adjustment Reason record.

  3. Specify the employees for whom you want to generate adjustment reasons.

    4. For the selection, you can use either personnel numbers or the criteria in the Additional data area.

  4. Enter both the adjustment reason that you want to generate and a benefit area (since the same adjustment reason can exist in more than one benefit area).
  5. Choose .

    6. A list of the selected employees is displayed. If an adjustment reason record already exists for an employee on the key date, the system displays this and shows the new record that will be created, thereby delimiting the old one.

  6. Select the employees for whom you want to continue with the generation of adjustment reason records and choose .

Result

Adjustment reasons are generated. If generation takes place in the foreground, employees for which Adjustment Reason records are successfully created are marked .
