Creating Personnel Calculation Rules

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create a customer-specific personnel calculation rule

Personnel Calculation Rule Attributes

A user interface with options to create, source text, attributes, documentation, display, and change rules. Buttons include Create, Display, and Change. Source text options are ES grouping and Wage/time type.

The personnel calculation rule editor enables you to display and maintain personnel calculation rules. You can access the personnel calculation rule editor under Tools in the Payroll menu (transaction PE02).

Personnel calculation rules are processed according to the employee subgroup grouping and the wage type.

Attributes of Personnel Calculation Rules

A image with Attributes detailing Program Class (C Payroll, T Time Management) and Country grouping (*, 01, 02, ... 99). Person responsible marked as changes only by them. Administrative data fields left blank.

Personnel calculation rules are assigned by their attributes to a program class. This means that the personnel calculation rules are used either in Payroll or in Time Management.

The responsibility of maintaining personnel calculation rules can be assigned to a specific employee. In this case, all other employees are only able to display the rule.

Administrative data for a personnel calculation rule provides the following information:

The date and the time when the rule was created
The date and the time when the last change was made
The name of the person who made the last change

Rules Displayed as Structural Graphics

Flowchart depicting wage type processing in SAP HR. Wage types are imported to LRT using the rule X006. Processing classes and specifications handle errors, apply formulas, and group employees for calculations.

Structural graphics display the source text as lines and nodes linked in a hierarchical structure. You can display and change the source text in the graphics mode.

The source text elements and decision operations are color-coded. Decision operations are displayed in a color different from the one used for the other operations.
