Calculating Length of Service 

Use

You follow this procedure to calculate service according to algorithms set up in Customizing and record the results of the calculation on the Retirement Plan Valuation Results infotype (0565).

Prerequisites

If your organization determines employee length of service by means of the hours-counting method, you must ensure that information about hours on the Retirement Plan Cumulations infotype (0602) is complete. Prior to each seniority calculation, you therefore need run an extraction of payroll cumulations for a period in time that ends on the service calculation date.

Procedure

  1. Choose Human Resources ® Personnel Management ® Benefits ® Retirement Plans ® Calculation of Service.
  2. Specify the key date for which you want to calculate length of service.
  3. Specify the employees for whom you want to run the calculation.

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

  4. Specify the plan(s) for which you want to run the calculation.
  5. Choose .

Result

Service is calculated for the period between the current and last calculation key date, as inferred from the most recently calculated results stored on the Retirement Plan Valuation Results infotype (0565). The following amounts are then added to the calculated difference in service to give the new service amount:

The new result is stored on the Retirement Plan Valuation Results infotype in a new record that is valid calculation date.

If service for any grandfathered plans is stored on the infotype, this is automatically carried forward to the new record.

A log appears when the calculation is complete.
