This IMG activity enables you to change the sequence in which the subtypes of infotype 0006, Addresses, are read for address formatting.

You need only perform the instructions in this IMG activity if you do not want to use the subtype Permanent address (1) in the standard system as a basis for address formatting.

The subtype or sequence of subtypes for address formatting is determined by means of the feature ADDRS. There is a standard entry for this feature with the decision criterion "Report class". This determines that address formatting within a report takes place on the basis of the subtype Permanent address (1).

The following options are available for changing this standard entry for the remuneration statement report class (CEDT):

  • Instead of the subtype Permanent address (1) you can specify another subtype 8Such as Postal address (5)) for address formatting for report class CEDT.

  • You can also determine a sequence of subtypes for address formatting for report class CEDT. When address formatting takes place the system uses the highest subtype in which there is data on the employee in question.

Please note that in addition to the decision operation "Report class" you can also use all other decision operations belonging to the feature structure Decisions. For example, you can use field VARKY to control address formatting for individual forms.

GENERAL NOTES ON CHANGING FEATURE

When changing feature ADDRS, please note the following:

  • The report class (field RCLAS) for the remuneration statement is "CEDT". If you want to structure a decision using the report class for the remuneration statement, you must enter "CEDT" as a variable key.

  • If you want to format addresses for specific forms you must set up a corresponding decision using field VARKY. The form name for the remuneration statement 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 remuneration statement in addition to the form name.

  • The subtype Permanent address should not be omitted when the feature is changed but rather be included at least as a last entry in a sequence of subtypes. This avoids the remuneration statement being printed without an address if there is no data on the employee for the other subtypes specified with higher priority in the feature.

EXAMPLES

Example 1:

You want address formatting to be carried out for the remuneration statement using the subtype Postal address (5). To achieve this you must make the following entries:

        D    RCLAS

****        &ADDRS=1,

CEDT        &ADDRS=5/1,

This entry determines that the subtype Postal address is used for address formatting for the report class for the remuneration statement ("CEDT"). If there are no data records in this subtype for the employee, the system uses the subtype Permanent address (1), which should be included in a sequence of subtypes at least as the last entry.

Example 2:

Your company uses two different remuneration statement forms ("ZF01" and "ZF02"). You want to use the subtype Postal address (5) instead of Permanent address (1) for address formatting for form "ZF01". To achieve this you must make the following entries:

        D    RCLAS

****            &ADDRS=1,

CEDT        D    VARKY(4)

CEDT ZF01            &ADDRS=5/1,

CEDT ****            &ADDRS=1,

To format addresses for specific forms you can use the field VARKY. You must specify the report class for each entry for this field. In your second-last entry you must specify that the subtype Postal address (5) is to be used for address formatting. If there are no data records on the employee in this subtype, the system uses the subtype Permanent address (1), which should be included in a subtype sequence as the last entry at least. The last entry is used to determine that the subtype Permanent address (1) is to be used for address formatting for all other forms belonging to report class "CEDT".

ACTIVITIES

Use feature ADDRS to change the sequence in which the system is to read the subtypes of infotype 0006, Addresses for address formatting.
