This step explains how to change the sequence in which the subtypes of infotype 0006, Addresses, are read for address formatting.

You need only carry out this step if you do not want to use the subtype 1, Permanent address, that is supplied in the standard system as a basis for formatting addresses in every case.

The subtype or sequence of subtypes processed to format addresses is determined by feature ADDRS. There is a standard entry for this feature with the decision criterion "report class". It determines whether a report formats addresses according to subtype 1, Permanent address.

You can change this standard entry for the report class for the payroll account in the following two ways:

  • You can specify a different subtype for use in address formatting for report class "CKTO" instead of Permanent address (1) (such as Postal address (5)).

  • You can specify a sequence of subtypes for formatting addresses in report class "CKTO". When address formatting takes place, the system uses the highest subtype in the sequence which contains data on the employee.

Please note that you can set up decisions with all other decision operations in the feature structure as well as with decision operation "Report class". For example, it is possible to control address formatting for individual forms using field VARKY.

GENERAL NOTES ON CHANGING THE FEATURE

When changing feature ADDRS, please note the following:

  • The report class (field RCLAS) for the payroll account is "CKTO". If you want to set up a decision using the report class for the payroll account you must enter "CKTO" as the variable key.

  • If you want to format addresses for specific forms you must set up a decision accordingly using field VARKY. The form name for the payroll account is stored in field VARKY. Please note that when setting up the decision in the variable key, you must specify the report class for the payroll account as well as the form name.

  • The subtype Permanent address should not be omitted when the feature is changed, but instead should be included at least as the last entry in a sequence of subtypes. This removes the chance of a payroll account being printed without an address if there are no data records on the employee for the other subtypes which have a higher priority in the feature.

EXAMPLES

Example 1:

You want to format the address for the payroll account using subtype 5, Postal Address. In order to achieve this you must enter the following:

        D    RCLAS

****        &ADDRS=1,

CKTO        &ADDRS=5/1,

This entry specifies that subtype 5, Postal address is to be used for address formatting for the payroll account report class ("CKTO"). If there are no data records on the employee for this subtype, the system uses subtype 1, Permanent address, which should at least have been included as the last entry in the sequence of subtypes.

Example 2:

Your company uses two forms for payroll accounts ("ZK01" and "ZK02"). You want the system to use subtype 5, Postal address instead of subtype 1, Permanent address to format the address for form "ZK01". To do this you must make the following entries:

        D    RCLAS

****            &ADDRS=1,

CKTO        D    VARKY(4)

CKTO ZK01            &ADDRS=5/1,

CKTO ****            &ADDRS=1,

To format addresses for individual forms you must use field VARKY. You must specify the report class for each entry in this field. The second last entry determines that subtype 5, Postal address is to be used to format the address for form "ZK01". If there are no data records on the employees for this subtype, the system uses subtype 1, Permanent address, which should have been included at least as the last entry in the sequence of infotypes. The last entry determines that subtype 1, Permanent address, is to be used to format addresses for all further forms in report class "CKTO".

ACTIVITIES

Use feature ADDRS to change the sequence in which the subtypes of infotype 0006, Addresses, are read when formatting addresses.
