Challenge (Infotype 0004) 

The data contained in the Challenge infotype (0004) is used in order to be able to fulfill the legal obligations with regards to the contributions for severely challenged persons.

If the history for the Challenge infotype (0004) is to agree with the history contained on the ID card for severely challenged persons, then we recommend that you delimit the infotype in accordance with the data on the ID card.

Challenge Data

You can use the Challenge Group, for example, to distinguish between challenged trainees and challenged persons who have completed vocational training. These groups are stipulated by statutory regulations. The system proposes the challenge groups with their official abbreviations.

As the Degree of Challenge, enter the percentage for the severe challenge in accordance with the Severely Challenged Persons Law.  In order for the system to accept the entry of additional vacation for severely challenged persons, a challenged level of at least 50% must exist in the Challenge (0004) infotype.

The Credit Factor stipulates the credit with respect to positions reserved for severely challenged persons in accordance with the Severely Challenged Persons Law.

The Type of Challenge enables you, for example, to distinguish between challenged persons with unlimited or limited working capability.

The system uses the date in the ID Date field to create the directory of severely challenged persons. The infotype record end date is used to display a list of severely challenged persons who receive payments.

If a person loses his/her severely challenged status, it is legally possible to include this person in the list for severely challenged persons three months after the ID has expired.

To do this, delimit the infotype record using a date that is three months after the ID card’s expiration date.

Issuing Authority

Here you enter information on the authority that certifies the challenge, such as the official agency, the date on which the challenge certificate was issued and the reference number of the certifying authority.

Second Issuing Authority

If a second issuing authority has also issued a challenge certificate for the person concerned, then you can also store details on the second issuing authority in this infotype. Make entries in the same fields for this issuing authority as for the first issuing authority.
