In this step, you specify rules for rounding the quota entitlement calculated. You can use a rounding rule in the selection rule for absence quotas, for accrual entitlements, and for quota entitlements from the Absence Quotas infotype (2006).

If you use time evaluation to generate absence quotas, values with several decimal places are often the result of calculating accrual entitlements. Because these values are difficult to deduct from, you can define rules to round entitlements, for example, to the nearest whole or half number.

You set the rounding rules with reference to concrete numbers. You can specify whether

  • You only want the entitlement to be rounded within the given interval or whether the interval should be a rolling interval
  • You want the specified upper and lower limits to be included in the calculation

You can specify several subrules for a rounding rule and differentiate between them by assigning sequential numbers. The system runs through the subrules in sequential order until it finds one that applies.

Example

  1. You have defined a rounding rule to round an accrual entitlement that is greater than/equal to 0.5 and less than 1.5 to 1

    The system calculates a value of 1.335 when it determines the accrual entitlement for an employee; this value is rounded to 1

  2. If the system calculates an accrual entitlement greater than/equal to 1.5 and less than 3, it should be rounded to 2

    You want the rule to be rolled, therefore the following applies for the following intervals

    • 3-4.5 (round to 3.5)
    • 4.5-6 (round to 5)
    • and so on

      The difference between the upper and lower limits always remains the same with rolling intervals, as does the difference between the target values.

  3. You generally want the intervals to be rolled. You want a special subrule to apply for the interval 4.5 to 5.5, however.
    Enter the subrule for the interval 4.5-5.5 with the sequential number 01, the subrule you want to roll with the sequential number 02. The system runs through subrule 01 first. If the rule applies, the special rounding can be implemented. If the rule does not apply, subrule 02 will definitely apply since the rolling intervals cover all possible values.

Requirements

Standard settings

The standard system provides several sample rounding rules.

Recommendation

Note the following if you use rounding rules for accrual periods: When you define the accrual periods you should remember that considerable rounding differences can occur, especially with short rounding periods. SAP therefore recommends that you define long accrual periods if you use rounding rules.

Activities

  1. Define a rounding rule
  2. If you want to define several subrules, enter a sequential number
  3. Enter the upper and lower limits of the rounding interval. If you select the Incl. field, you determine that the value of the upper or lower limit is accounted for in the rounding (greater than/ equal to or less than/equal to).
  4. Enter the value to which you want the entitlement to be rounded
  5. If you want the rounding rule to be a rolling rule, select the Roll. field
