Definition

The calculation process contains all functions required to calculate an employment period.

Use

Note

The calculation processes for the employment period calculation are defined by SAP. If you use a standard calculation process, it is not necessary to define a new calculation process. If required, you can override the attributes for an SAP calculation process. It is only necessary to define a new calculation process if you carry out customer developments.

The individual calculation processes determine the type of employment period calculation. Each calculation process refers to a specific element of the calculation of an employment period, for example:

A calculation process can contain one or more process steps. Each process step contains a valuation model. If a calculation process does not contain a process step, the valuation model is assigned directly to the calculation process.

The calculation process corresponds to the subtype of the Calculation of Employment Period infotype (0533). When you create a record for this infotype, enter the required calculation process.

Structure

For more information on calculation processes, see Customizing for Personnel Administration under Evaluation Bases ® Calculation of Employment Period ® Calculation Process ® Define Calculation Process. These calculation processes are country-dependent. This is because a calculation process usually refers to one country only and cannot be used in other countries.

In this step, you can create your own calculation processes in the customer name range. If you define your own calculation processes, the key for the process should start with x , y , z or 9 . It is not usually necessary to define your own calculation processes because you can use a standard SAP calculation process.

Example

You want to determine the period of employment for your employees for the company pension scheme. You use the calculation process ISVY (Length of Service) to calculate the employment period and, if necessary, you can override the attributes.

You make the following settings in Customizing for Personnel Administration ® Evaluation Bases ® Calculation of Employment Period ® Calculation Process ® Override Attributes for Calculation Process.

The conversion rule calculates periods or date specifications in accordance with statutory or collective agreement regulations. A conversion rule is already assigned to each SAP calculation process.

A function module for the additional logic is required in the following cases:

In this case, the function module controls the relationship of the process steps with each other. The function module also defines the further processing of the results from the individual process steps.

The function module is called by the SAP System if you choose Run Calculation in this infotype. If the Store result indicator is flagged, you can save the result of the calculation in a record in the Calculation of Employment Period infotype and, if required, use it in other processes. Depending on the definition in the Result type field, the result is displayed as a duration or key date .

Note

The function module for the additional logic for the calculation process must return a duration or key date as the result.

If the indicator in the Individual override for valuation model is set, the input fields for a different valuation model are shown in the Calculation of Employment Period infotype (0533). If you enter a different valuation model, you override the valuation model that is assigned in Customizing for Personnel Administration under Evaluation Bases ® Calculation of Employment Period ® Calculation Process ® Assign Valuation Model and Rounding Rule to Process Step.
