This report detects deviations from system-allocated default values in an employee’s General Benefits Information (infotype 0171).
You can search for deviations due to either of the following:
Manual override of default values in the infotype
When a General Benefits Information record (infotype 0171) is created for an employee, the default values for the benefit area, first program grouping, and second program grouping are automatically proposed by features set up in Customizing. These values can be overridden if, in exceptional cases, they are not valid for the employee in question.
Changes in default values determined by the features
The default values for benefit area, first program grouping, and second program grouping that are used when a General Benefits Information record (infotype 0171) is created are determined using features. These features use values stored on other infotypes. A discrepancy occurs if these values change, since the values stored on the General Benefits Information record are not automatically updated.
Selection
You run the report for the current day or a
Period
of your choice.
You restrict data selection using the following parameters:
Personnel number
Benefit area
1st Program grouping
2nd Program grouping
Under
Reason for deviation from default values
, you specify the differences that you want to detect:
If you select
Manual override
, the report finds the relevant default values for each employee on the begin date of their records. It then compares them with the values actually stored on the record in order to identify employees for whom exceptions have been made.
If you select
Change in default values
, the report finds changes in default values for the benefit area, first program grouping, and second program grouping of each employee, in order to identify employees whose General Benefits Information record needs to be manually updated.
Output
The report lists the employees for which a deviation from default values is detected and shows the following information:
The values for the relevant parameters, as stored on the infotype
The values for the relevant parameters, as determined by the feature for the report date/period
The start and end date of the current infotype
The list is displayed in the ABAP List Viewer (ALV) Grid Control, which allows you to change the layout of the list interactively using any of the available fields. For information about the functions of this tool, see ABAP List Viewer (ALV): Grid Control .
