Definition

A numerical character string that is used to determine the
delimitation sequence.

Supplementary Documentation - ABG_STR 0001

Use

This parameter enables you to determine the criteria according to which the payroll journal is delimited.

You can choose the following criteria:

Company code
' Personnel area
' ' Personnel subarea
' ' ' Cost center
' ' ' ' Employee group
' ' ' ' ' Employee subgroup
' ' ' ' ' ' Organizational unit
' ' ' ' ' ' '
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

The parameter is seven characters long. Each character is assigned to a delimitation criterion, eg. character 1 for the company code, character 2 for the personnel area, etc.

Procedure

You can determine the delimitation sequence by assigning priorities to the individual criteria within the parameter.

The delimitation criterion with the highest priority is given priority 1. Please find the appropriate column for the delimitation criterion you require, and enter a 1. Now find the delimitation criterion with the second-highest priority and enter a 2, etc.

Data within the first delimitation criterion is then delimited according to the second criterion as well.

If you do not require certain criteria for your program run, do not make any entries for them.

In the standard SAP program, this parameter has been set as follows:

1234567
Delimitation sequence..... 123

This results in data being delimited according to company code, personnel area, and personnal subarea.

Examples

You need to delimit data according to company code, cost center, employee group, and employee subgroup.

Solution:

1234567
Delimitation sequence..... 1 234

The remaining delimitation criteria are irrelevant in this case, so you simply make no entries for them in the parameter.
