The logical database provides several selection criteria. These are divided into the following three groups:

• Person selection

• Sorting the person selection

• Data selection

The person selections define the set of personnel numbers which are to be evaluated.

The following list contains some of the options for person selection:

• Personnel number
• Person selection period

• Period-determination/payroll area

• Period-determination/payroll period

• Period-determination/payroll year

• Period-determination/indicator
• ... and 30 other selection criteria.

You can also use the Matchcode function key to select persons. When you select this function, a list of available matchcode IDs is displayed.

Selected employees are processed in ascending order according to personnel number or matchcode. You can use the Sort function key to sort employees according to name or organizational assignment criteria.

In the data selection field, you can define the period for which infotype records are to be evaluated. Although the entire infotype history is loaded into the main memory during data retrieval, the system only processes those infotype records which are either partly or completely within the data selection period.

• Period determination

You can also define the data selection period using a time period determinator.
