SAP Finance Job Index (Infotype 1513)

Definition

The job index describes which office or service of a public administration a person works for or what their position is.

Use

The job index is used to assign descriptions to elements of the position plan (persons, positions or budget structure elements) in the public sector.

The correct job index is determined from a combination of the pay scale valuation of a person, position or budget structure element (BS element) and organizational dimensions. The job index is derived on the basis the entries you made in Customizing of Position Budgeting and Control.

For more information on determining the valid job index key, see the implementation guide (IMG) of Position Budgeting and Control in the area Organizational Management for Public Services.

Structure

The following fields are available in the job index tab for editing the organizational plan:

· Subtype: The subtype is only displayed if a subtype was created in Customizing of Organizational Management. Using a subtype means that, for example in the army, a position can receive different job indexes depending on whether the position is relevant for the national army or for a defense alliance.

· Grouping with main group and subgroup: In input help, you can insert the values you created in Customizing of Position Budgeting and Control. You only require main groups and subgroups if the existing organizational dimensions personnel area/personnel subarea and employee group/subgroup are not suitable for deriving the job index.

· Job index (interval): In the input help, the program lists all the job index keys it determined using the entries in Customizing of Position Budgeting and Control.

Integration

The program reads the pay scale valuation of the job index key from the infotypes basic pay (0008) for persons and planned compensation (1005) for positions.

The position inherits the main group and subgroup from the relevant organizational unit.

Example

You can use this infotype to assign the job index description tax inspector to a processor in the finance ministry and the description detective chief inspector to a processor in the police.
