Use

You can use this Business Add-In (BAdI) for posting personnel cost planning results to Accounting in Personnel Cost Planning and Simulation.

The BAdI enables you to make customer-specific changes to the start and end date of the posting periods that the system reads from Controlling. In this way you can influence the relationship of cost item amounts to posting periods.

The BAdI is filter-dependent. It is defined as depending on the filter type KOKRS (Controlling Area). In other words you can differentiate between your implementations based on this filter type or you can create implementations for certain controlling areas only.

Requirements

Standard settings

In the standard this BAdI is not implemented. Unless you create an implementation, the SAP system runs the standard code for determining posting periods.

Activities

After calling up the IMG activity, a dialog box appears, in which you can enter a name for the implementation.

If you have already made other implementations for this BAdI, another dialog box appears, in which the existing implementations are displayed. In this case, choose Create, and proceed as follows:

  1. In the dialog box, enter a name for the BAdI implementation in the Implementation field, and choose Create.

    The screen for creating BAdI implementations is now displayed.

  2. Enter a short text for the implementation in the Short text for implementation field.
  3. From the tab index, choose Interface.

    The Name of implemented class field is already filled on the tab page, as a class name was automatically assigned to the implementation when you named it.

  4. Save your entries, and assign the implementation to a development class.
  5. Place the cursor on the method, and double-click to enter method processing.
  6. Enter the code for the implementation between the statements method <Interface name> ~ <Name of method> and endmethod.
  7. Save and implement your code. Return to the Edit Implementation screen.
  8. Save the entries on the Edit Implementation screen.

    Note: You can also create an implementation, and then activate it at a later time. In such a case, end the processing stage at this point.

  9. Choose Activate

    The code you stored in the method will be run when the application program is executed.

Example

In Accounting you use a fiscal year variant with periods of 4-4-5. Although the posting periods have different lengths (4 weeks, 5 weeks), you want to plan monthly amounts for each period. However, the SAP standard calculates the cost item amounts in such a way that they reflect the value for the exact number of days. In the BAdi implementation, set the start date of the posting period to the first of the month and the end date to the last of the month. The SAP system now converts the cost item amounts to monthly values.
