In this step, you define your budget periods. The budget period is the period during which you want to implement the salary increases or distribute the bonus/shares.

Example

In the third quarter of each year, you plan your salary increases and bonus payments for the following year. In this instance your budget period could, for example, be 2003 and its validity period would be from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003.

Requirements

Standard settings

The SAP R/3 System contains sample budget periods that you can copy or use as a basis for creating your own.

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you set up your budget periods to include the actual payment date. For example, if you plan on paying out the bonus for calendar year 2003 on March 31, 2004, your 2003 budget period should be defined as 01/01/2003 - 03/31/2004, or as 04/01/2003 - 03/31/2004.

Activities

  1. Determine which budget periods you require in your organization.
  2. Choose New entries or Copy.
  3. Enter an identifier for your budget period, this can be a year or a name of your choice.
  4. Enter a start date and an end date for each period.
  5. If you want currency conversion to take place on a specific date, enter this date in the Key date field.

    If you do not enter a date in the Key date field, the system will use the system date; that is, the date on which you change the budget values.

  6. Save your entries.
