Documentation

Definition

The conversion rule calculates durations or dates for the employment period calculation.

Use

You use the conversion rule to process statutory requirements for the calculation of durations and dates in the system.

Four function modules are grouped into one conversion rule:

• Duration of interval
• Weighting of duration
• Cumulation of durations
• Calculation of a date

The conversion rule is assigned to a calculation process. When a calculation process is evaluated, the assigned function modules are used.

Further notes

When a conversion rule is defined in table T525U (Conversion Rules for the Employment Period Calculation), you must ensure that the different function modules are compatible with each other. If the duration of an interval is only calculated in calendar days, only the days are cumulated and weighted. Conversely, if the calculation uses years, days, and months, all values are cumulated and it may be necessary to deal with a field overflow.

We recommend the following function modules as templates for all function modules used in a conversion rule:

HR_SEN_TEMPLATE_DATE: Calculation of a date
HR_SEN_TEMPLATE_DURATION: Calculation of a duration
HR_SEN_TEMPLATE_SUM: Cumulation of durations
HR_SEN_TEMPLATE_WEIGHT: Weighting a duration
