This infotype uses the salary and pay scale structures to create planned compensation data at the job and position level. The system uses the information stored to suggest default values for the Basic Pay infotype (0008).

When you maintain an employee’s basic pay record, you can use the Planned Compensation infotype (1005) to suggest default values that are based on pay grade or pay scale data stored for the job or position occupied by the employee.

If the pay grade data is maintained, the system checks the amount entered in the Basic Pay infotype (0008) against the salary range specified for that pay grade in the Pay Grade table.

The Planned Compensation infotype (1005) is divided into three planned compensation types:

• Pay grade
• Pay scale
• Direct

You can store information from the salary structure, such as the pay grade and pay grade level. You can enter the pay grade and pay grade level that the job or position is to be assigned to. The system suggests the salary range, that is the lowest and highest amount that will be paid for the job or position and the reference salary.

You can store information from the pay scale structure, such as the pay scale area, type, group, and level. The system then suggests the minimum and maximum salary or wage for the job or position.

You can enter the minimum and maximum amounts paid for a job and position, the currency and the unit of time. Use this planned compensation type if you do not have a salary or a pay scale structure.
