The selection class is a combination of selection rules that are evaluated in the same way.
Note
The selection class 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
We recommend that you work through the steps in the defined sequence.
You use the selection to group together selection rules to be valuated in the same way.
Example
In the SAP System, you can store the leave absences in different absence types. If you want to include all types of absences in an evaluation, you must define a selection rule for each absence type.
You can group together these selection rules in a
Leave Absences
selection class. This means that you can then define an upper and lower limit (maximum value or threshold value) in the valuation model for all leave absences.
The following graphic shows that the selection class
Leave Absences
contains two selection rules. Both selection rules evaluate the
Absences
infotype (2001), however, they select different absence types (different subtypes).
You create your selection classes and assign them to the respective selection rules in Customizing for
Personnel Administration
under
.
Caution
Within a selection class, you can enter only selection rules without a weighting factor or only selection rules with a weighting factor.
If a selection class contains selection rules with a weighting factor, no generated periods can overlap when the selection classes are evaluated.
The
With weighting factor
indicator is not related to the weighting with the numerator/denominator combination for the selection class. Instead, it shows whether the selection rules within a selection class have a weighting factor. Weighting using the selection class is independent of the weighting of individual periods in selection rules with the
With weighting factor
type.
You define the evaluation of the assigned selection classes in the
valuation model
. For more information, see Customizing for
Personnel Administration
under
Here you can define the following evaluations:
You can assign a weighting factor to a selection class.
This weighting factor is then used for all periods that are grouped together in this selection class. The weighting factor for the selection class is not dependent on the
With weighting factor
indicator. For more information, see
Weighting Periods
.
You can define a standard upper and lower threshold for the selection class.
For more information, see Maximum Value and Threshold Value for Periods .
You can group together selection rules that are decisive for the interruption relevance of the selection class and flag this selection class as
Interruption-relevant.
For more information, see Determination of Interruption Periods .
You can define a priority for particular selection classes within a valuation model.
This means that you specify which period takes precedence when periods overlap. For more information, see Priority of Periods .
