Threshold Value and Maximum Value for Periods
Use
You can define a threshold value or maximum value for periods and
date-based durations in the selection rule or in the selection class.The employment period calculation functions include two functions for using a threshold value or maximum value:
Threshold value and maximum value in a selection class
If you assign a threshold value or a maximum value in the selection class, the predefined length is used for the total of all durations entered using the selection class.
Training and study periods are to be imputed to a maximum three years for the company pension scheme. In the selection class for these periods, you enter a maximum value of three years.
You assign the values for the selection class in Customizing for Personnel Administration under Evaluation Bases ® Valuation Model ® Define Valuation Model.
Threshold value and maximum value in a selection rule
If you assign a threshold value or a maximum value in the selection rule, the predefined length is used for each individual period or date-based duration selected by the selection rules.
Unpaid absences do not affect the employment period if they are less than three days. However, the total duration of unpaid leave should be deducted from the employment period. In the selection rules, you enter a threshold value of three days.
You assign the values for the selection rule in Customizing for Personnel Administration under Evaluation Bases ® Valuation Model ® Define Selection Rule.
Prerequisites
A threshold value or maximum value is only taken into account for calculation type 1 (Calculation of the duration of an employment period) and calculation type 2 (Calculation of end of employment period).
The SAP System does not use this function for periods calculated using calculation type 3 (Calculation of start of employment period). For more information on the calculation type, see
Features
Maximum Value
The duration above the maximum value is ignored in the selection rule and also in the selection class. If the duration exceeds the specified maximum value, the SAP System reduces the total duration to the predefined maximum value.
The Cut off above maximum amount indicator in the selection rule is always set.
Threshold Value
If the duration is greater than the given threshold value, the selection rule and selection class contain different values.
You can specify whether the weighting factor for the selection class is taken into account before the threshold value or maximum value is created.
The With consideration of weighting factor indicator is set.
Calculated duration: 40 days
Weighting factor: 0.5
Threshold value: 30 days
The weighted duration is 20 days and is therefore below the threshold value.. The calculated period is not evaluated.
(If the indicator was not set, the threshold value duration would reached. The SAP System would then evaluate this period.)
The two indicators (Cut off under threshold value and Only complete calendar units) cannot be used together.
