Definition

The list is sorted and compressed according to this entry.

Use:
This parameter defines the sequence for sorting (and compressing) data. Each parameter column stands for a sort criterion. The 'sort criteria' parameter is used to determine the meaning of the columns.

The individual columns have the following meaning (from left to right):

  • G - Municipality
  • A - Payroll accounting area
  • B - Company code
  • W - Personnel area
  • B - Personnel subarea
  • A - Employment status

Example:
1. Entry: 123000 Sort according to municipality, payroll area, company code
2. Entry: 201003 Sort according to company code, municipality, employment status

Check:
Each of the numbers 1 - 6 may be used only once.
0 may be set as often as desired.
The numbers must start with 1, and be assigned in ascending order.
The sequence can be set as desired.

Examples: 1234567
1234500
0120000
2134506

Definition

The list is sorted according to the specified features.

The meaning of the individual columns from left to right is as follows:

  • 1st character: 'G' SI group
  • 2nd character: 'S' SI body
  • 3rd character: 'A' Payroll accounting area
  • 4th character: 'B' Company code
  • 5th character: 'W' Personnel area
  • 6th character: 'B' Personnel subarea

Procedure

Enter a number between '1' and '6' to define the sort sequence of the sort string (e.g. SI body). If a particular sort string should not be taken into account, enter '0'.

The numbers '1' to '6' may be assigned only once. The number '0' can be set as often as required. Strings are sorted in ascending order starting with '1'. The order of the numbers can be assigned at random.

Do not use blanks.
