Define Counting Classes for the Period Work Schedule
In this step, you define counting classes for your period work schedules, which
are used to valuate attendances and absences. You can query the class in
Define Rules for Absence Counting.
Use different counting classes for period work schedules with very long daily
work schedules (10 hours) and many days off. In this case, more than 1.00
leave days is calculated for each workday.
Example
According to a company ruling, one day of leave should be calculated per
workday for a particular employee group. Assign counting class 1 to this group's
period work schedule. Another employee group is to be credited with 1.25
leave days for each workday. Assign counting class 2 to their period work
schedule.When you maintain counting rules, you must define a separate rule
for each class.
Requirements
You have set up period work schedules.
Standard settings
The standard SAP system contains a number of sample period work schedules
with different counting classes.
Recommendation
Please note that this value is used to determine payroll days for all attendance
and absence types.
Activities
1. Check the existing entries and add entries if required.
2. Enter 1 in the Counting class field for the time being.
3. Decide which counting class should be assigned to each of your period work
schedules.
Counting class for period work schedule
You can use the class for absence and attendance counting to specify different methods of counting according to the period work schedule.
Examples
Employees assigned to a work schedule with 4 working days per week and 10 working hours a day are credited with 1.25 leave days for
each workday. In other words, they receive the same amount of leave entitlement as employees who work a 5-day week for 8 hours a day.
1.00 leave days per workday are deducted for these employees. Since the work schedule is based on the period work schedule, you can use
the valuation class of the period work schedule as a feature to distinguish between employees who work 4-day weeks and those who work
5 days.
Employee Subgroup Grouping for Time Quota Types
An employee subgroup grouping for time quota types is a grouping of employee subgroups for which the same absence and attendance
quota types are defined.
Personnel Subarea Grouping for Time Quota Types
A personnel subarea grouping for time quota types is a grouping of personnel
subareas for which the same attendance and absence quota types are
defined.
Rounding rule
Specifies how values determined by the SAP R/3 System should be rounded.
You can use rounding rules in absence counting or in automatic absence quota
accrual, for example.
Lower limit of rounding interval
Determines the lower limit of the rounding interval.
Use
If you select the Incl. field, the value of the lower limit is included in the calculation (greater than or equal to).
Examples
You want to set a rounding rule that states that an accrual entitlement greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than 1 should be rounded to
the value 1. The rule should apply to a rolling interval.
Enter 0.5 as the lower limit and select the Incl. field. Enter 1.5 as the upper limit and leave the Incl. field blank. Enter 1 as the target
value. If you want the rule to apply to all intervals, select the Roll. field.
Inclusive interval limit for rounding
Specifies whether the upper or lower limit is included in the calculation.
Use
Select the field if you want the values to be included in the calculation:
· The lower limit (greater than or equal to)
· The upper limit (less than or equal to)
Upper limit of rounding interval
Determines the upper limit of the rounding interval.
Use
If you select the Incl. field, the value of the upper limit is included in the calculation (less than or equal to).
Examples
You want to set a rounding rule that states that an accrual entitlement greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than 1.5 should be rounded
to the value 1. The rule should apply to a rolling interval.
Enter 0.5 as the lower limit and select the Incl. field. Enter 1.5 as the upper limit and leave the Incl. field blank. Enter 1 as the target
value. If you want the rule to apply to all intervals, select the Roll. field.
Target value for rounding
Specifies the target value for rounding (that is, the value to which the absence or attendance is rounded).
Use
If you use a rolling interval, the target value for rounding is determined as follows: The value of the length of an interval is added to the
target value.
Examples
You want to set a rounding rule that states that an accrual entitlement greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than 1.5 should be rounded
to the value 1. The rule applies to a rolling interval.
Enter 0.5 as the lower limit and select the Incl. field. Enter 1.5 as the upper limit and leave the Incl. field blank. Enter 1 as the target
value. If you want the rule to apply to all intervals, select the Roll. field
The length of the interval is 1.0. The next interval is the interval from 1.5 - 2.5 with a target value of 2, the following interval from 2.5 - 3.5
with a target value of 3, and so on.
Roll rounding interval
Specifies whether the interval should be rolled, that is, whether the rule for the interval should also apply to all following intervals.
Examples
You want to set a rounding rule that states that an accrual entitlement greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than 1.5 should be rounded
to the value 1. The rule should apply to a rolling interval.
Enter 0.5 as the lower limit and select the Incl. field. Enter 1.5 as the upper limit and leave the Incl. field blank. Enter 1 as the target
value. If you want the rule to apply to all intervals, select the Roll. field.
The length of the interval is 1.0. The next interval is the interval from 1.5 - 2.5 with a target value of 2, the next from 2.5 - 3.5 with a
target value of 3, and so on.
