Documentation

Definition

You use this setting to control whether when a cumulation point is reached, the accrual entitlement is calculated pro rata in relation to the base period, or whether the total base entitlement is always used as the basis for the accrual entitlement.

Use

You can choose between the following settings:

  • Pro rata calculation: When the cumulation point is reached, the accrual period is compared with the base period of the quota type currently being processed, and a proportionate accrual entitlement is determined.
  • No pro rata calculation: When the cumulation point is reached, the total base entitlement of the quota type currently being processed is always used as the basis for the accrual entitlement.

Dependencies

Example

You want to make your employees' annual leave available to them at the start of the year. In Customizing, the base entitlement is set to 30 days for the calendar year. If an employee's employment percentage in the Planned Working Time infotype (0007) changes in the course of the year, you want the entitlement to be changed in line with this percentage value. You have created a reduction rule for this purpose. At the end of each month, you want the change in the employment status to be checked for the entire calendar year. You have therefore chosen a monthly accrual period.

Instead of the annual leave entitlement being reduced to a monthly basis, you want the recalculated entitlement to replace the previously determined value. To do this, you use appropriate specification for the quota type.

To reproduce this example, you choose the No pro rata calculation option.
