Definition

The process number is used in the ELENA reporting process for the unique identification of an employee. The number is composed in the same way as the pension insurance number.

Use

The pension insurance number stored in infotype 0013 (social insurance) is used as a priority in the ELENA process. A process number to be entered in this field is only provided for employees who do not have a pension insurance number.

If the process number is to be changed to a pension insurance number at a later stage (for example if changing from a pubic sector employee to an employee), the pension insurance number is entered in the Pension Insurance Number field. The process number is then no longer required, but does not necessarily have to be deleted.
