Definition

Parameter "Sort sequence"

This parameter determines the sequence in which the data is output. You can control output by means of the following sort criteria:

8 = tax company
1 = company code
2 = personnel area
3 = personnel subarea
4 = cost center
5 = employee group
6 = employee subgroup
7 = organizational unit

The parameter is seven characters long, so you can choose a maximum of seven sort criteria at once. The sorting sequence is defined by the sequence of the entered sort criteria. Every combination is possible.

Examples:
---------
a) Sorting is to be carried out according to company code, cost
center, employee subgroup and employee group:
Sort sequence .. 1465
The remaining sort criteria are inapplicable and are therefore not
entered in the parameter.

b) default of the parameter:
Sort sequence... 8123
results in sorting according to sequence:
Tax company, company code, personnel area, personnel subarea

The values for the sort criteria are taken from the work center data from the payroll results (table WPBP).
