Define Day
Rules
In this IMG activity, you define the day rules
that you can use when forming counting classes when valuating an absence using
averages or constants.
Day rules allow you to form counting classes or
wage types based on the following conditions set for the day of an
absence:
- Public holiday class or day type of current
day or previous day?
- Does the employee's personal work schedule for
the current or previous day show planned hours?
You can specify several different conditions
for a day rule, and assign them sequential numbers. The R/3 System runs
through the numbers in consecutive order until it finds a condition that is
fulfilled.
Example
1. If your
employees are absent due to illness on a public holiday, you do not want to
pay them the usual rate for public holidays, but the standard rate for a
normal workday.
In the IMG
activity
Valuate absences by constants/averages , you store two wage types
for the absence valuation rule Sickness/Cure. You then assign the
wage types the appropriate day rules.
The R/3 System then chooses the appropriate wage type according to the day of
the absence.
2. You want to
group absences on non-working days in counting class 11, and absences on
workdays in counting class 12.
You create the day rules AT (workday) and AF (day off) to determine the
conditions set for the day:
AT - On workdays
So that the counting class is only formed on workdays, two conditions must be
fulfilled. You store these conditions in a rule without a sequential
number:
a) The day
assigned is day type BLANK
b) There are
planned hours stipulated for the employee for this day, either:
- A valid daily work schedule with planned hours
> 0, or
Remember: Making
specifications for just one of these conditions is not sufficient to determine
a workday. If a day is assigned the day type BLANK, the decision as to whether
or not the employee must work is made on the basis of the planned hours in the
work schedule (are there planned hours specified for the employee on the day
in question or is the daily work schedule OFF). Therefore, the planned hours
in the daily work schedule must be queried as well as the day type.
AF - On days
off
Days off can be characterized by two different conditions that you represent
by assigning the sequential numbers 01 and 02 to day rule AF:
a) Sequential
number 01: The day is assigned day type 1
b) Sequential
number 02: There are no planned hours specified for the employee on the
relevant day
Standard
Settings
There are already day rules defined in the
standard system. The name range reserved for customers is A-Z.
Activities
1. Check
whether the standard day rules cater to your requirements.
2. Define new
day rules if required.
3. To define a
new day rule, choose New entries and enter the name of the
new rule. Enter an identifier from the customer name range A-Z as the first
character.
If you cannot represent the required conditions in one subrule, enter a
subsequent number for the rule.
In order to keep performance times to a minimum, you should number the
subrules such that the rules that most often apply are the ones that the
System runs through first.
4. Specify the
conditions under which the day rule should apply.
Under Condition set for public holiday class, day type, weekday, and
planned hours , deselect those conditions under which you do not want
the day rule to apply.
5. If
necessary, define an additional subrule.
