Use

For more information, see the implementation guide (IMG) of Position Budgeting and Control under Automatic Commitment /Budget Creation ® Settings for Automatic Commitment/Budget Creation® Settings for Individual Modules ® Data Collector ® Settings for the Detail Variant.

Integration

Maintaining the data basis is one of the requirements for the creation of commitment.

Features

· Organization and Staffing

Position Budgeting and Control uses the existing Organizational Management structures. You can define the financing requirements of a position using the infotype Planned Compensation in the organizational structure. The program determines the financing requirements of vacant positions on the basis of Personnel Cost Planning, that is Personnel Cost Planning evaluates the infotype Planned Compensation in this case. You can also determine the financing requirements using other infotypes, for example, user-defined infotypes.

Only vacant positions are taken into account in the commitment run.

When the financing requirements of a person are determined, there are two possibilities: either the position is occupied or a person is financed without a position. The financing requirements are also calculated on the basis of Personnel Cost Planning. The payroll simulation can be used for this. It is also possible to determine the financing requirements on the basis of the master data (infotype Basic Payments) without using payroll simulation. However, SAP recommends that you use payroll simulation to guarantee the consistency of the data in the system and to increase the accuracy of the financing requirements determined.

You can find more information under Determining Financing Requirements for Positions.

You can find more information on how Organizational Management works under Organizational Plan Mode.

· Maintaining the planning results
