SAP Finance Flagging a Position for Display in the Position Plan

Use

You can use this function to create position plans from your position structure.

Prerequisites

A position must be assigned to a fund which is subject to the position plan so that it can be displayed in the position plan.

Features

Editing of the Position Plan

Use the transaction PPOME (Organization and Staffing Change) to define the information required for creating a position plan. Here you can use tab pages and fields to define the information and links relevant for the position plan in the positions and organizational objects.

Content of Position Plan

In the standard system, all positions of an organization are evaluated for the position plan. However, you can exclude positions from the output of the position plan if necessary. You have the following options:

● At the level of the organizational unit you can exclude positions that belong to particular organizational units. You do this in Customizing using the feature PM012 (relevance to position plan per account assignment). The following organizational units are available:

○ Fund

○ Grant

○ Functional area

○ Funds center

Some other organizational units are available so that you can also map position plans using cost centers or projects:

○ Cost center for mapping the enhanced commitment item with encryption of the functional criteria.

○ Internal order

○ WBS elements

● At the level of the individual position, you can assign a position to a relevance type using the tab page position plan attributes in the transaction PPOME. You can define the relevance type individually in Customizing and specify the following:

○ whether a position flagged with a relevance type should be displayed in the position plan

○ whether the position should be staffed

It is possible, for example, to define the relevance types independently of the position to be filled.

Calculating the Full-Time Equivalents

The following ratio is used to calculate the full-time equivalents in the standard system:

● Planned working time of position to planned working time of the working time group (infotype Working Time (1011) and infotype Employee Group/Subgroup (1013).

If you want to use other methods to calculate the full-time equivalents, you can use the BAdI Determining the Planned Value of an Object in the Position Plan.
