Use

In this step, you perform four separate tasks. You:

  • Define the names of each of your required QDP Groupings.

    Note:

    You assign employees to your QDP grouping in the subsequent IMG step: Set Up Employee QDP Groupings.

  • Assign a single QDP to each of your newly-created QDP groupings.
  • Specify the first Sunday from which each QDP weekly pattern should be generated.

    This Sunday date must be a date before the start of the validity period.

  • Specify the validity period of the assignment of a QDP to a QDP grouping.

Why assign your QDPs to QDP Groups?

Features are not time-dependant. Therefore, when you assign your employees to QDP groupings using feature GBQDP, this relationship is permanent and time independant.

However, QDP grouping allows you to add time dependency to your QDP/employee assignment. This is important because a certain group of employees may change from one QDP to a different QDP. If you have assigned your existing QDPs to specific QDP groupings, you can delimit these assignments and create new ones. This allows you to process your payroll retroactively, when necessary.

For more information, see Example.

Prerequisites

You must have previously assigned your employees into QDP groupings.

You can assign a QDP to more than one QDP grouping.

Activities

  1. Execute this IMG activity.
  2. The QDP to QDP Grouping Assignment Overview screen appears.
  3. Select the button New Entries.
  4. In the field QDP Grpg., define the names of each of your required QDP Groupings.
  5. In the field QDP, assign a single QDP to each of your newly-created QDP groupings
  6. In the field Sunday Start of QDP, specify the first Sunday from which the QDP weekly pattern should be generated.
  7. In the field Valid From, specify the begin date of the validity period for each QDP you have assigned to a QDP grouping.
  8. Save your entries.

Example

In your organisation, you have a single QDP group BRM1 to which all your waged and salaried employees in a specific location belong. You have also assigned QDP1 to this employee group. QDP1 has the week type Monday to Friday inclusive allocated to it and a start date of 01.01.2000.

Note:

The Qualifying Day Pattern (QDP) represents the seven week days, running from Sunday to Saturday.

For the Salaried/Waged Employees, you only make a single entry in table view V_T5GQDP_GPG:

*BRM1 QDP1 Monday to Friday Qualifying 01.01.2000 31.12.9999

*Table entry does not include Sunday start data

From 01 January 2005, the waged employees agree to work a new four-week rotating shift pattern. With only a single QDP group, and only a single week type allocated to QDP1, you are unable to assign a correct QDP to your waged employees that reflects their new working pattern without also changing the QDP of your salaried employees.

Therefore, you create a second QDP group, BRM2, to which you assign your waged employees. You also assign a new QDP, QDP2, to this new QDP group.You then assign the following week types to QDP2, which mirror the four-week shift pattern:

  • Week 1: Monday to Friday inclusive (MoFr)
  • Week 2 : Tuesday to Friday inclusive (TuFr)
  • Week 3 : Sunday to Friday inclusive (SuFr)
  • Week 4 : Sunday to Thursday inclusive (SuTh)

For the salaried/waged employees, you now make the following entries in table view V_T5GQDP_GPG:

For salaried employees, the table entry remains the same as previously:

*BRM1 QDP1 Monday to Friday Qualifying 01.01.2000 31.12.9999

For your waged employees, you make the following entries:

*BRM2 QDP1 Monday to Friday Qualifying 01.01.2000 31.12.2004

*BRM2 QDP2 Rotating 4-Week Shifts 01.01.2005 31.12.9999

You make two entries for the waged employee group BRM2. This ensures that retroactive payroll before 01 January 2005 for waged employees can be processed correctly, using the appropriate QDP.
