Valuation Model (SAP Library - Personnel Administration (PA-PA))

Valuation Model

Definition

The valuation model defines an evaluation of selection classes.

Use

Note

The valuation model is a Customizing setting for the calculation of employment periods. To make the required settings, work through the Valuation Model section in Customizing for Personnel Administration under Evaluation Bases ® Calculation of Employment Period. We recommend that you work through the steps in the defined sequence. Take particular note of the Draft Valuation Model step.

You use a valuation model to define how employee data in the individual infotype records is evaluated when the employment period is calculated. The SAP System selects the relevant periods using the selection classes and accompanying selection rules that are assigned to the valuation model.

Example

To determine the employment period for the company pension, you need the following information from the SAP System.

Training and study periods from the Education (0022) and Time Specifications/Employment Period (0552) infotypes
Active periods with capacity utilization level from the Actions (0000) and Basic Pay (0008) infotypes
Unpaid absences from the Absences infotype (2001)

For the company pension you need a valuation model with selection classes and rules which select all relevant periods from the above infotypes.

In the valuation model, you define the evaluation for each individual selection class. To do this, set up the following functions in Customizing for Personnel Administration under Evaluation Bases ® Valuation Model ® Define Valuation Model.

Weighting periods in the evaluation

Threshold value and maximum value for periods

Priority of periods

Determination of interruption periods

Integration

The following graphic shows the link between a valuation model, the assigned selection classes, and the accompanying selection rules. The above functions for employment calculation are used for some selection classes and rules.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Each valuation model is assigned to a calculation process or to a process step in the calculation process. This step can be found in Customizing for Personnel Administration under Evaluation Bases ® Employment Period Calculation ® Calculation Process ® Assign Valuation Model and Rounding Rule to Process Step. The assignment of a rounding rule to the valuation model is not obligatory.

Note
