In this step, you specify which groupings the time evaluation driver should use to access certain tables when processing a particular personnel number. The tables referred to are three central rule tables which control:

  1. Time wage type generation (table Time wage type selection rule)
  2. Absence valuation (table Valuation of absences)
  3. Balance formation (table Processing type and time type).

The groupings for a personnel number are set according to aspects of the employee's organizational assignment.

They are set in personnel calculation rule TMON using operation MODIF. The rule is called using function MOD.

Example

Different regulations should apply for generating time wage types for hourly wage earners than for monthly wage earners. Hourly wage earners are assigned the value '1' for the employee subgroup grouping for the personnel calculation rule, monthly wage earners have the value '2'.

Requirements

You have defined employee subgroup groupings for the personnel calculation rule.

Standard settings

  1. In the SAP standard delivery, the selection rule group for time wage types 01, 02 or 03 is assigned to the employee subgroup grouping for the personnel calculation rule 1, 2 or 3. This means that you can define different regulations for wage type generation for different calculation rule groupings in the Time wage type selection rule table, see Time wage type selection.
  2. The value of the employee grouping for absence valuation for reading the Valuation of absences table is set to '01' in the standard system, regardless of the employee subgroup grouping for the personnel calculation rule. The table is read during wage type generation in order to decide whether a time wage type should be formed in time evaluation for a particular absence, see Time wage type selection.
  3. The value of the time type determination group is set to '02' in the standard system, regardless of the employee subgroup grouping for the personnel calculation rule. The time type determination group is evaluated in Assign time types and processing types.

Recommendation

One value per schema is usually sufficient for the time type determination group, i.e. organizational differences are unimportant. The standard value of '02' may have to be changed. This is the case if you have to make modifications in the Processing type and time type table, using a value from the customer name range for the time type determination group. You make this decision in the section Assign time types and processing types.

Activities

  1. Decide whether you wish to use other organizational criteria to define regulations for wage type generation, absence valuation and time type determination, other than the employee subgroup grouping for the personnel calculation rule.
    The fields in the Organizational Assignment (0001) and Planned Working Time (0007) infotypes are examples of additional criteria. This data can be read in time evaluation if you set the appropriate parameters for operation OUTWP.
  2. Copy personnel calculation rule TMON to ZMON. Customize ZMON for your groupings for the personnel calculation rule: create decision trees depicting the organizational criteria which you want to use to differentiate your employees. The three groupings are set in the individual branches using operation MODIF. The parameters have the following specifications:
    • "W" - time wage type selection rule group
    • "A" - employee grouping for absence valuation
    • "T" - time type determination group
  3. If you use more than 3 employee subgroup groupings for the personnel calculation rule, add additional rules based on the groupings 1-3.
  4. Change the name of the personnel calculation rule from TMON to ZMON GEN.

Further notes

  • Function MOD may only be used in the initialization block (between functions BINI and EINI).
