In this field, you can activate buffering in the ABAP program. When you activate buffering, the system stores the relationships (infotype 1001) and rule modules (infotype 1747) in the ABAP program and therefore does not have to read from the database each time they are accessed.
The values for the setting USE_BUF have the following consequence:
Value Consequence
'X' Buffering in the ABAP program is activated
' ' (no entry) Buffering in the ABAP program is deactivated
Dependencies
If buffering in the ABAP program is deactivated, buffering in the shared buffer of the application server (setting USE_SHBUF) must also be deactivated.
The control parameters for buffering are defined in type group PIQRR and begin with the prefix "piqrr_buf_".
Further notes
You can improve the performance of VSR rule checks in the production system by setting up your system so that it buffers the following data:
- Relationships (infotype 1001) between objects of the academic structure
- Relationships (infotype 1001) with linked rule containers
- Rule modules of rule containers (infotype 1747)
Data can be buffered in the ABAP program as well as in the shared buffer of an application server. Data in the shared buffer is available to all users who are logged on to this application server.
It is useful to buffer data once you have gone live and you do not expect to make any more changes to the academic structure and the associated rules. If you are still in the process of setting up the VSR rules, you should not activate buffering.

If this is the case, you must create a special external number range for student numbers derived from business partner numbers, and enter this number range in the setting STNBPEX.
The number range must be an external one and may only be used for this setting. It must not overlap any of the other number range intervals defined in the system.

Use
In this field, enter an RFC destination with a technical user for automatic creation and update.
The RFC destination with a technical user is required for authorization purposes. Users who are authorized to create and change student master data are normally not authorized to create and change student account data. Because automatic creation and update automatically runs in the background when you edit master data, you need an authorization for account data. This authorization is granted by means of a technical user with the authorization to create and change student account data.
The RFC destination must therefore contain the logon data of the technical user.

Use
In this field, enter the default company code group for student accounts. The system uses this company code group when it creates student contract accounts.
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0104
Use
In this field, you define whether the system should save the price of each fee calculation item in the fee calculation documents.
Choose one of the following settings:
Value Meaning
X System will save the item price
" " (no entry) System will not save the item price
Use the save item price entry (value X) only if it makes sense to save the price of each fee calculation item (sessional registration, module booking) in the pricing model you are using.
The table is not used for evaluations in the SAP standard system. The contents could, however, be used for customer-specific invoicing.

In this field, you define the standard waiting list capacity percentage which the system should use if no waiting list place percentage is specified for the module.
Enter a numeric value between 0 and 999 for the standard waiting list capacity.
Dependencies
When the system determines the waiting list places, it uses the optimum capacity of the object it determined as the waiting list level as the basis.
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0109
Use
In this field, you define the standard priority for normal bookings. This is the booking priority which the system automatically assigns until the optimum number of attendees are booked for the given business event, event package or module capacity (depending on the derived waiting list capacity).
Choose a value between 0 and 99 for this setting.
Note
We recommend that you use the same value as defined in Training and Event Management. You can display this value in Customizing for Training and Event Management in the IMG activity Booking Priorities. The entry for group SEMIN and semantic abbreviation NPRIO (default priority for normal booking) is relevant.
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0110
Use
In this field, you define the minimum priority for waiting list bookings. This is booking priority which the system automatically assigns when the optimum capacity of a business event, an event package, or a module (depending on the derived waiting list level) has been exceeded. This booking priority is assigned until the maximum capacity is reached.
Choose a value between 0 and 99 for this setting.
Note
We recommend that you use the same value as defined in Training and Event Management. You can display this value in Customizing for Training and Event Management in the IMG activity Booking Priorities. The entry for group SEMIN and semantic abbreviation MINWL (minimum priority for waiting list booking) is relevant.
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0111
Use
In this field, you define the maximum priority for essential bookings. This is the booking priority which the system automatically assigns when a business event, an event package, or a module (depending on the derived waiting list level) is fully booked. This is the case if the optimum number of attendees are already booked for the business event and an essential booking was made for them.
Choose a value between 0 and 99 for this setting.
Note
We recommend that you use the same value as defined in Training and Event Management. You can display this value in Customizing for Training and Event Management in the IMG activity Booking Priorities. The entry for group SEMIN and semantic abbreviation MAXMU (maximum priority for essential booking) is relevant.
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0112
Use
In this field, you activate the eligibility to move up.
If the eligibility to move up is activated, the system uses the minimum priority for waiting list bookings when it flags the eligibity to move up.
Choose between the following settings:
- Value X: The system uses the minimum priority of a waiting list booking when it flags the eligibility to move up.
- Value " " (blank): The eligibility to move up is not active.
Example
You want to flag students as eligible to move up so that you can generate correspondence for them.
You defined the minimum priority of a waiting list booking as 90. You also activated the eligibility to move up (value X). The system then interprets
- the booking priority value 90 as the eligibility to move up,
- a booking priority value over 90 as a regular waiting list booking.

In this field, you define whether or not the system should automatically assign the appraiser when an appraisal is created. This setting applies for the appraisal dialog transaction (transaction PIQSMFU).
Choose between the following settings:
- Value X: Automatic appraiser assignment is switched off
- Value " " (blank): Automatic appraiser assignment is switched on
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0118
Use
In this field, you can enter and thus restrict the number of infotype records the system updates at once in the HR buffer when you save cohort data.
For example, if you enter the value 300, the system writes a maximum of three hundred infotype records before it forces updating of buffer content. By entering a value here, you can prevent the buffer update table from becoming too large which in turn can lead to a considerable deterioration in performance.
Which value results in the best possible performance when saving cohort data depends on your system and on the type of cohort functionality you most frequently use. You can determine which value is most suitable for your system by running performance tests with different settings.
The default value is 0. This value places no restriction on the buffer table. If you enter a different value, the cohort builder and backup logic response do not change. Only the length of time required for the update changes.
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0119
Use
In this IMG activity you can control, whether you would like to store requirements without a sub requirement in a profile or not. The setting can be made per sub requirement category.
Values:
- "C": Do not store requirements with requirement category "Consolidation" where no sub requirement is assigned in the profile.
- "G": Do not store requirements with requirement category "Subrequirement" where no sub requirement is assigned in the profile.
- "V": Do not store requirements with requirement category "Variable Requirement" where no sub requirement is assigned in the profile.
- "I": Do not store requirements with requirement category "initial" where no sub requirement is assigned in the profile.
If you would like to prevent the system from storing requirements belonging to different requirement categories where no subrequirement is assigned then you can combine the values mentioned above in any order
Dependencies
Example
'GV': The system will not store requirements with requirement category "Subrequirement" or "Variable Requirement".
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0185
Use
In this field, you define the standard grade calculation method. If you do not assign a specific grade calculation method to the qualification you want to impart, the system uses the standard grade calculation method to determine the grades and academic honors associated with this qualification.
Requirements
You have defined and implemented the grade calculation method you want to use as the standard.
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0186
Use
In this field, you define the standard key figure to be used in an implementation of the business add-in grade calculation method.
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0200
Use
In this field, you can optionally define a session group for the module booking.
- If you define a session group, the system displays only the academic sessions in this group in the academic session input help.
- If you do not define a session group, the system displays all the sessions of the relevant academic calendar that have time limit 0100 in the academic session input help.
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0201
Use
In this field, you define the session group you want to use in the academic records application. The input help of the academic record application dialogs will then list only those sessions which belong to the session group you have defined.
Requirements
You have created the required session group. You make this setting in the IMG activity Set Up Session Groups.

Choose the required setting:
- "X": Records Management is enabled.
- " " (blank): Records Management is disabled.
Supplementary Documentation - PIQVALUE 0220
Use
If the value of this setting is 'X', several reconciliation keys are used during parallel processing (mass run) in fee calculation. How many different reconciliation keys are created depends on the maximum number of fee calculation dialog processes. This is independent of the size of each individual package (number of students per package) and of the total number of packages that need to be processed. All of the reconciliation keys used are automatically closed at the end of processing.
Dependencies
In the standard system, the value of this setting is initial and only one reconciliation key is used. With increasing parallel processing (when very many bookings are made in the maximum number of dialog processes on several application servers), problems may arise (duplicate totals records in table DFKKSUM) if two or more parallel processes almost simultaneously create totals records with the same account assignment features. The use of several reconciliation keys solves this problem.
Example

Use
This value defines whether to read the additional account assignments or not for the old documents before the delta posting. Permissible values are:
' '(blank) = The system reads the additional account assignments for the old documents before the delta posting.
X = the system does not reads the additional account assignments for the old documents before the delta posting
Dependencies
Until release CM 6.00 the parameters business area, segment, profit center, measure and grant number cannot be derived directly by the fee calculation program - neither from infotype 1018 nor from the FM derivation rules.
There are two options to fulfill this requirement: - These parameters can be derived in the FICA events. The limitation is that the parameter values entered via the events in FICA documents will not be considered during delta fee calculation (re-calculating the fees of a student). But as long as the values are strictly dependent (can be uniquely derived) on one or more of the FM fields, which are considered in the delta fee calculation, this should not be a problem.
- The second option is to use a substituion for the general ledger documents only. But here again the same limitation as above applies - if you want to change the business area assignment only, a delta run for the student fee calculation will not be triggered unless some other assignment changes as well (like the any of the FM fields).
From ERP2005 a new infotype 1759 (Fee Distribution fields) is provided independently from infotype 1018, which is then freed for its original purpose in HR and this new infotype contains the new values (like business area, profit center and so on) as well.
If you are not using the new Infotype 1759 (Fee Distribution fields) then you need to fill this value with 'X' in order not to read the additional account assignments for the old documents before the delta posting.
Case: If you are still using the infotype 1018 and deriving the values like business area, profit center and so on from FI-CA events and if the value is set to space.
In this case, before the delta calculation is done, already posted documents (old documents) will be read from the database including the new account assignments but for the new documents this information will not be available (as these values are derived later from FI-CA events as explained above). The delta mechanism will then erroneously post the delta even if nothing has changed at all
