Enhanced personnel cost savings

The function for personnel cost savings was enhanced in order to provide additional information in the application log and to reduce the number of document items/line items created. With the personnel cost savings, you can identify the reason for or type of the cost saving. You can now classify personnel cost savings based on different data, such as the account assignment, in accordance with personnel cost saving categories.

The personnel cost saving categories define whether personnel cost savings and the corresponding funds blocks are created. You can also use them in reporting as selection criteria. By defining an amount limit that can be derived from diverse data such as the personnel cost saving category, you can now only create such personnel cost saving categories that exceed a certain amount. Report Clear Personnel Cost Savings (RHRFPM_DIFF_DEL) for the mass clearing of personnel cost savings was parallelized.

Availability control for organizational changes

If a person is assigned to a different position during an organizational change in Personnel Management without the budget object changing, it is possible that the budget is exceeded during a process when the commitment processor is run when budget is used up and the availability control is active. This budget overrun is only temporary and is corrected with the next payroll run. If you are using the Budget Control System (BCS), you can avoid messages from the availability control. To do this, you must activate implementation FMAVC_ENTRY_FILTER_SMPL_HRPBC in Business Add-In (BAdI) Enhance Filter Settings for the AVC (FM) FMAVC_ENTRY_FILTER.

Application log

You can now use the application log. This reporting supports you in analyzing errors from the commitment processor. You can now map the known reporting in a SAP List Viewer structure and process these using the methods of list processing in most parts of the application. Moreover, you can adjust the output of your requirements in Customizing. You can enhance the list output with customer fields. Two message extractors are provided to support you in filling the fields which you can enhance. You can group the messages to make reporting clearer. By choosing a suitable selection of groups, you can assign messages in accordance with their relevance.

New reporting functions enable you to group the application log with the commitment run so you can solve PBC error messages more easily and efficiently.
