Report Participation: Changes in General Benefits Information

Trigger:

There is a need to report on deviations from the system allocated default values in an employee's general benefits information file, infotype 0171.

 

Business Process Procedure Overview

This report detects deviations from system-allocated default values in an employee's General Benefits Information (infotype 0171).

You can search for deviations due to either of the following:

· Manual override of default values in the infotype

When a General Benefits Information record (infotype 0171) is created for an employee, the default values for the benefit area, first program grouping, and second program grouping are automatically proposed by features set up in configuration. These values can be overridden if, in exceptional cases, they are not valid for the employee in question.

· Changes in default values determined by the features

The default values for benefit area, first program grouping, and second program grouping that are used when a General Benefits Information record (infotype 0171) is created are determined using features. These features use values stored on other infotypes. A discrepancy occurs if these values change, since the values stored on the General Benefits Information record are not automatically updated.

You run the report for the current day or a Period of your choice.

You restrict data selection using the following parameters:

· Personnel number

· Benefit area

· 1st Program grouping

· 2nd Program grouping

The report lists the employees for which a deviation from default values is detected and shows the following information:

· The values for the relevant parameters, as stored on the infotype

· The values for the relevant parameters, as determined by the feature for the report date/period

· The start and end date of the current infotype
