SAP Finance Pay Increase for an Employee

Use

You use this process when an employee is supposed to receive a pay increase. The run for automatic commitment creation updates the financing requirement for the employee automatically. This way you can recognize possible budget overruns immediately.

Prerequisites

Commitments were already created in the system for the employee.

Process Flow

...

...

1. An employee should receive a pay increase. You change the employee’s basic pay.

When you change the master data, the system flags this person for refinancing. Usually the system administrator schedules the program for the automatic creation of commitments in Customizing of Position Budgeting and Control to be executed periodically. This is to ensure that the program determines the new financing for all objects that were flagged for a refinancing automatically and on a regular basis.

2. If you want to check the updated financing requirement directly, choose the info type Financing Status. In the financing overview you can see the commitment documents that were saved in the system before the master data was changed. For more information, see Financing Status.

3. If you want to update the commitment data, choose create commitment.

If you have changed the master data of several people and want to update the commitment data directly, it is more efficient to manually initialize the commitment creation in the Position Budgeting and Control menu.

4. If the pay increase leads to an overrun of the relevant budget, the person responsible for accounting receives a message in his workflow inbox. A message is also recorded in the message log of the particular commitment run. The employee is locked for payroll until the responsible person for accounting has made enough budget available.

5. When you activate the recording of personnel cost savings in Customizing of Position Budgeting and Control, you can evaluate the financing increases in detail. For more information, see Financing Adjustments.
