Documentation
Definition
In this field, you specify the key date used to calculate seniority.
The length of seniority is calculated from the difference between the key date of the current year and the date the employee started working at the company.
Use
If an employee's seniority is to be determined for a particular date, then any change in the seniority is taken into account within the accrual period. The resulting accrual entitlement is then calculated proportionately according to the different base entitlements.
If you use a date type from the Date Specifications infotype (0041) to determine the key date, the system uses the current year, and not the year specified in the date type. If, therefore, you determine the key date in 2000 and the date type specifies June 15, 1998, the system uses the key date June 15, 2000.
Procedure
Examples
An employee has a change in seniority that is relevant for quota accrual during an accrual period. This change is to be taken into account at the start of the next base period. To do so, activate the End of base period option.
Further notes
For more information on determining an employee's entry date, see the documentation on function module HR_ENTRY_DATE.
