In this step, you maintain the assignment types used in infotype Global Assignment Details (0710), which enables you to store all the necessary assignment information. Per default, the currency conversion rule is set for all countries. However, if you want to assign a specific rule to a country, choose Exchange rate and select the applicable rule.

You can specify whether the following data are allowed for the selected global assignment by going through the relevant steps:

  • COLI providers
    This table, which you have to maintain in the activity Define COLI Providers, enables you to use the factor of the correct COLI provider in infotype Compensation Package Offer (0706) according to assignment type.
  • Status sequence
    This table, which you have to maintain in the activity Define Assignment Status, enables you to streamline the global assignment process according to your company-specific needs. You should use the existing set as is:
    • Planned - Submitted
      Following a business need, a global assignment is planned and submitted to the responsible approver.
      The status Planned must be the first status in the sequence.
    • Submitted - Approved
      Once the global assignment has been submitted, it must be approved by the host-based manager.
    • Submitted - Declined by Manager
      The global assignment has been rejected by the host-based manager.
    • Approved - Accepted
      The global assignment has been approved by the host-based manager.
    • Approved - Declined by Employee
      The global assignment has been rejected by the employee.
    • Accepted - To be activated
      The global assignment has been accepted by the employee. To take effect, it must be activated and all the necessary items must have been completed before the activation.
    • To be activated - In Progress
      The assignment period has started and the employee now works as an expatriate.
      This combination is needed to trigger the assignment activation.
    • In Progress - Completed
      The global assignment draws to an end and the employee needs to be repatriated.
  • Family status
    This table, which you have to maintain in the activity Define Family Status, enables you to restrict the assignment type to a specific family status. For example, short-term assignments are not likely to involve dependants.
  • Exchange rate
    This table, which you have to maintain in the activity Currency Conversion Rules, enables you to link a country to a specific conversion rule. If you do not define any rules here, the default rule set a the assignment type level will be used.
