Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP)

Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP)

Purpose
Personnel Cost Planning focuses on all a company’s personnel costs, wages, salaries, and
employer contributions to social insurance, for example. This component enables you to
determine current personnel costs as well as experiment with and project future costs. You can
also work with costs that are not directly personnel related. You can, for example, calculate
education and training costs as well as the cost of providing leisure activities for employees.

Integration
So that you can install Personnel Cost Planning, you must:
· Maintain the organizational structure in the Organizational Management component.

Integration with the Organizational Management component enables you to take

organizational changes as well as changes in headcount into consideration in your planning.
This is of particular importance if you are planning a reorganization or a change in headcount
in your organization.
· Maintain a job index which includes all the positions which exist in your company.
· Assign all positions to organizational units within the organizational structure.
This means that you must create a record for the Relationship infotype between the position
and the organizational unit (relationship A/B 003).
· Maintain the Cost Planning (1015) and, if necessary, the Working Time (1011) infotypes,
if you want to calculate the costs for vacant positions. This applies to all three planning
bases: Planned compensation, basic pay and payroll results.
· Install the Controlling (CO) component, if you want to include Personnel Cost Planning
calculation results in overall budget planning.
· Install the Personnel Administration and Recruitment components, if you want to use basic
pay and payroll results as calculation bases.
You must assign a holder (employee) to each position you maintain. This means that you
must create a record for the Relationship infotype between positions and the employees
(relationship A/B 008).

If you do not install the Personnel Administration component and so cannot assign
holders to positions, you can set a switch in Customizing which determines that the
system handles any positions which are not occupied as vacant positions. Note,
however, that this setting affects other areas in Personnel Management and Training
and Event Management.
· If you use planned compensation or basic pay, you must:
- Create and maintain records for the Vacancy infotype (1007) for positions
- Set up the Vacancy infotype (1007) in Customizing accordingly.
· If you want to work with cost centers, you must:

6 April 2001
SAP AG Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP)
Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP)

- Install the Controlling (CO) component

- Assign organizational units to cost centers (relationship A 011)

The inheritance principle applies when assigning organizational units to cost centers.
This means that an organizational unit inherits the cost center assignment of the
organizational unit it is subordinate to, unless you have explicitly assigned it to
another cost center.
- If positions are not assigned to the same cost center as the organizational units they
are subordinate to, you must assign them directly to the relevant cost center
(relationship A 011).

Features
This component also takes vacant positions into consideration and so, as compared to traditional
cost planning tools, offers extremely precise planning capabilities.
This component also offers an array of display options. You can:
· Download cost data into EXCEL™ spreadsheets.
· Display cost data and plan scenarios as 3-dimensional bar charts in SAP Business Graphics

Cost Items

Cost Items

Definition
In Personnel Cost Planning the different categories of costs that contribute to the cost of
maintaining a staff - for example, wages, salaries, or employer contributions to pension plans -
are called cost items.

Structure
Cost items are based on one of the following sources of information:
· Wage elements, set in Personnel Planning
· wage types, set in Personnel Administration

Integration
The source of information you use depends on which of the following types of costing scenario
you are using:
· Projected pay
· Basic pay
· Payroll results
If you work with projected pay scenarios, cost items are based on wage elements. If you work
with basic pay or payroll results scenarios, cost items are based on wage types, and possibly
wage elements.

The wage elements in Personnel Planning and wage types in Personnel

Administration are not affected by any work you do in Personnel Cost Planning.

SAP AG Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP)
Cost Object

Cost Object

Definition
A cost object is any object to which you can assign or attribute personnel-related costs such as
salaries, benefits, and so on. The system, in turn, uses cost information to perform calculations.
Costs may be assigned to:
· Organizational units
· Work centers
· Positions
· Jobs
· Employees
You identify the costs associated with these objects in different ways. For objects that
originate in Personnel Planning - organizational units, work centers, positions and jobs -
you assign wage elements using the Cost Planning infotype (1015).
For employees, you assign wage types in the Personnel Administration component.

Wage Elements

Wage Elements

Definition
Wage elements originate in Personnel Planning, and they are the different categories of cost that
contribute to the cost of maintaining a staff. For example, wages and salaries, employer
contributions to pension plans, and employee health and insurance benefits are all examples of
different wage elements.
The different wage element categories, and default amounts for each, are user-defined through
Customizing, in the Wage Element table (T77KL). You can use wage elements to represent any
type of cost. For example, many clients use wage elements to represent the cost of training and
educating staff, since these costs cannot be tracked through payroll records.

Use
You apply wage elements to objects using the Cost Planning infotype record, in the Organization
and Planning module of PD. You can create and maintain Cost Planning infotype records for
organizational units, work centers, positions, and jobs. You can also have more than one Cost
Planning infotype record for a particular object, to record other information like salary surveys.
(For details, see
In each infotype record, you can identify up to eight different wage elements, to specify costs for
the object you are working with.
When you enter a wage element in a Cost Planning infotype record, you can perform one of the
following:
· An indirect evaluation
This means that you accept the default amount set for the wage element in Customizing.
· A direct evaluation
This means that you manually enter an amount that applies only in the current infotype
record.

Integration
It is by reading the wage element amounts entered in Cost Planning infotype records that the
system is able to calculate projected pay, in Personnel Cost Planning.

You must not confuse wage elements with wage types. Wage elements originate in
Personnel Planning, and are set up for Personnel Planning purposes only. Wage
types originate in Personnel Administration and Payroll Accounting, where they are
used in personnel records to establish basic pay information and to calculate payroll.

Cost Planning Infotype (1015)

Definition
The Cost Planning infotype stores the data required by the system to calculate a cost scenario
based on project pay.
This infotype allows you to enter information about each type of cost that contributes to labor
costs, for example, employer contributions to pension plans, employee benefits, wage and salary
information, and so on. This infotype is normally appended to individual jobs or positions.
However, you can also append the information to work centers or organizational units.

You normally append cost data to an organizational unit or a work center only when
there is a fixed or lump sum of money that cannot be applied to individual jobs or
positions. For example, a sum could be allocated to an organizational unit for
employee bonuses, or to a work center to fund social activities.

The different types of cost are called wage elements. You can enter a maximum of seven wage
elements for each cost planning infotype record you create. (You define the wage elements when
you set up your system. They are stored in the Wage Table T77KL.) For each wage element
entry, you must identify the following:
· Name of the wage element
· Amount of the element (either carried over from the Wage Table or you can enter a
different amount)
· Currency
· Time frame (a monthly contribution, or a yearly adjustment)
As soon as wage elements are brought into Personnel Cost Planning, they are referred to as cost
items.
The Cost Planning infotype is only relevant if you use the Personnel Cost Planning component
and within Personnel Cost Planning. This infotype is used when you use projected pay as the
basis for your cost calculations.

Actual Costs

Actual Costs

Definition
Actual costs are the physical costs that have been incurred, in this instance, for maintaining a
staff. For example, the salaries and wages that have been paid to the employees.

Use
When working in the field of costing, you typically want to determine the status of costs –the
actual costs – before you can project future costs.
To determine actual personnel costs, you should develop scenarios using either basic pay or
payroll results as a source of data. These two sources give the most accurate indication of actual
costs.

SAP AG Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP)
Cost Planning

Cost Planning

Purpose
Cost planning is carried out by developing and comparing different costing scenarios. A scenario
contains a set of calculation results. The results may represent actual, previewed or projected
costs, over a specified period of time.
The financial data used to perform scenario calculations may come from the following sources:
· Projected pay
· Basic pay
· Payroll results

Process Flow
The information souce you use depends on whether you want to work with actual costs, or to
project future costs. However, once cost data is brought into Personnel Cost Planning, the
system does not differentiate between sources. It handles all types of information in the same
way.
Costing data is extracted according to the organizational units within an organizational
structure. Consequently, you can focus a scenario on a certain area of your firm by including
only certain organizational units in a scenario. You can also subdivide scenarios so that they
contain separate, self-contained calcuations for different areas of your firm, for example,
branches or subsidiaries. This is achieved using scenario groups.
Once you create scenarios, you can edit the figures to further experiment. The system
responds by recalculating the scenario according to each change you enter.
When you are satisfied with a scenario, you can transfer it to CO, to incorporate it into budget
planning.

Previewing Future Costs

Previewing Future Costs

Use
It is possible to “preview” future personnel costs, by developing scenarios using the current or
actual costs, as a basis for calculating future costs.
Previewing future costs and projecting future costs are not the same thing. When you preview
costs, you are in effect assuming that the factors that contribute to costs - the number of
employees, the pay structures - stay the same. When you develop a projection, your calculations
can include organizational changes, as well as other amounts that are not typically identified in
personnel/payroll data, for example, training requirements for specific employee groups.
Typically you develop cost previews using either basic pay or payroll results as a source of data.
If you use payroll results, you have the option of using historical payroll, or simulating a payroll
run in the future.

Features
Some customers consider cost previews to be a statement of target costs. If you retain scenarios
from one planning period to another, you could compare the target with the actual results (when
they occur), to determine how accurate your previews were. In fact, for controlling purposes it is
recommended that you do actual/target comparisons in the middle of the planning period.

Projected Pay

Projected Pay
Definition
Projected pay is one of the three sources of costing information you can use in Personnel Cost
Planning.

Use
Use projected pay if:
· You want to develop cost projections that consider the following:
- Organizational changes
- Pay structure changes
- Personnel development strategies, such as training
· You do not use the Personnel Administration and Payroll Accounting components

Integration
With projected pay, the system uses data that originates from within PD only. The system can
extract this data from the following sources:
· Cost Planning infotype (1015)
· Work Schedule infotype (1011)
The system bases its calculations solely on the data stored in the Cost Planning infotype. In this
instance, the system assumes that a full work schedule is worked. You should maintain the Work
Schedule infotype so that any partial weightings, applied to work schedules in the Percentages
field, can be included in the calculations. If both infotypes are used, the projections are more
accurate.

Projecting Future Costs

Projecting Future Costs

Use
The goal of Personnel Cost Planning is to allow your firm to do comprehensive planning of
personnel costs. This is best achieved when you use projected pay as a source of data.
Projected pay provides more freedom to identify costs that personnel systems typically cannot
handle. For example, a manufacturing company may frequently have to replace equipment and
therefore have to retrain its employees. This company might want to include the costs of
retraining its staff in personnel costs.
If you use projected pay, your projections can include:
· vacancies
· organizational changes (that affect organizational units, work centers, jobs, and
positions)
· other amounts that are not typically identified in personnel/payroll data (as in the example
stated above)
Projecting costs and previewing future costs are not the same thing. When you preview costs,
you are really assuming that the factors that contribute to costs - the number of employees, the
pay structures - stay the same. When you project costs anticipated changes can be included in
the calculations.

Features
Some customers consider cost projections to be a statement of target costs. If you retain
scenarios from one planning period to another, you can compare the target with the actual results
(when they occur), to determine how accurate your projections were. In fact, for controlling
purposes it is recommended that you do actual/target comparisons in the middle of the planning
period.

Starting Projected Pay Scenarios

Starting Projected Pay Scenarios

Prerequisites
Start new projected pay scenarios when you want to work with a new set of costing figures. This
could occur, for example, when you want to calculate costs over a different period of time, or
perhaps you want to work with different organizational units, a different plan version, and so on.

Procedure
1. On the main Personnel Cost Planning screen, choose Planning ® Create ® Projected
Pay.
The Planning Basis for Projected Pay screen appears.
2. Enter data as required. For more information, see Starting Personnel Cost Planning
[Page 16]
3. Choose Execute.

Result
The Change Personnel Costs: Overview Organizational Units screen appears, displaying
calculations results for the selected organizational units.

The system automatically inserts the original cost calculations in the Reference value
column.

April 2001 21
Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP) SAP AG
Basic Pay

Basic Pay
Definition
Basic pay is one of the three sources of costing information you can use in Personnel Cost
Planning.

Use
Use basic pay if:
· You want to determine actual results
· You do not have time to process a payroll result scenario
· You do not require the level of detail provided by payroll results

If a planned pay raise has already been recorded in the Master Data component, you
can use basic pay to project future personnel costs.

Integration
With basic pay, the system mainly uses the data that originates in the Personnel Administration
and Payroll Accounting components as a basis for its calculations, although, it also uses
information from the Personnel Planning and Development component.
Basic pay identifies the amount paid to an employee. This is established by assigning wage
types to an employee in the Basic Pay infotype (0008) in the Personnel Administration
component.

Although wage types may represent any type of cost incurred to hire an employee,
for example third party payments, basic pay is only concerned with amounts paid to
employees.
However, the cost stated is not as accurate as payroll results since variable costs, for example,
overtime or employee bonuses, cannot be included in calculations. These costs are not fixed,
and must be calculated for each payroll run.
Planning information is used when the system detects a position vacancy. Because no employee
is assigned to this position, there are no wage type assignments, and therefore no employee
data.
At this point, the system uses information contained in the Cost Planning (1015) and Work
Schedule (1011) infotypes to determine costs for the period of the vacancy.

Starting Basic Pay Scenarios

Prerequisites
Start new basic pay scenarios when you want a new set of costing figures. This could occur, for
example, when you want to calculate costs over a different period of time.

Procedure
1. On the main Personnel Cost Planning screen, choose Planning ® Create ® Basic pay.
The Planning Basis for Basic Pay screen appears.
2. Enter data as required. For more information, see Starting Personnel Cost Planning
[Page 16].
3. Choose Execute.

Result
The Change Personnel Costs: Overview Organizational Units screen appears, displaying
calculations results for the selected organizational units.

The system automatically inserts the original cost calculations in the Reference value
column.

April 2001 23
Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP) SAP AG
Payroll Results

Payroll Results
Definition
Payroll results is one of the three sources of costing information you can use in Personnel Cost
Planning. Payroll results provides the most accurate means to determine actual cost.

Use
Use payroll results if you require the most accurate figures.

Integration
With payroll results, the system uses information that originates from the Payroll Accounting
component to perform calculations.
You can access payroll results for Personnel Cost Planning in the following ways:
· You can plan future personnel costs using actual payroll results.
See: Working with Actual Payroll Results [Page 27]

· You can plan future personnel costs using simulated payroll results.
See: Working with Simulated Payroll Results [Page 25]

Because of the amount of information involved, scenarios using payroll results can
be time consuming.

Working with Simulated Payroll Results

Purpose
This process describes how to send simulated payroll results to Personnel Cost Planning without
creating actual payroll results or posting documents.

Process Flow
1. Execute the payroll reporting run for posting documents to accounting (report
RPCIPE00).
You can access this report by choosing: Human resources ® Payroll ® Subsequent
activities ® Per payroll period ® Report ® Posting to accounting ® Execute run.
This report creates the simulated posting documents and provides you with the

number of the posting run.

To send simulated payroll results to Personnel Cost Planning, you must maintain the
following parameters:

Field Parameter Simulation parameter

Create document T
Simulate payroll X RPCALCx0

x = country indicator

You do not have to enter a variant. If you do not specify a variant, the system will use the
standard settings to run the relevant payroll accounting program. In all cases, the system
will copy the input parameters for the payroll period and person selection from
RPCIPE00. Access these settings by choosing Cost Planning from the selection screen.
For more information on creating simulated payroll reporting documents for posting to
accounting, see the SAP library, Transferring Payroll Results to FI/CO ® Creating
posting documents.

If simulated payroll results exist for Personnel Cost Planning for a period, you can
overwrite them at any time with new simulated results or actual payroll results. If
actual payroll results exist for Personnel Cost Planning for a period, however, these
can no longer be overwritten with simulated payroll results.

Result
Simulated payroll results are sent to the Personnel Cost Planning database, PCL5, and can be
used for planning based on payroll results. In this instance, the system has not created any
actual payroll results or posting documents.

Working with Actual Payroll Results

Working with Actual Payroll Results

Purpose
This process describes how you can use the payroll accouting and posting to FI/CO functions to
send actual payroll results to Personnel Cost Planning.

Prerequisites
You must have performed a payroll accounting run.

Process Flow
Once payroll accounting has been run, you can:
1. Execute the payroll reporting run for posting documents to accounting (report
RPCIPE00). You can access this report by choosing: Human resources ® Payroll ®
Subsequent activities ® Per payroll period ® Report ® Posting to accounting ®
Execute run.
All the different types of document creation support the Personnel Cost Planning
component. To send payroll results to Personnel Cost Planning, you need to set the Cost
Planning data parameter. In this instance, you should not set the Simulate payroll
parameter. You can access these parameters by choosing Cost Planning on the
selection screen.
For more information on creating payroll reporting documents for posting to accounting,
see the R/3 library, Transferring Payroll Results to FI/CO ® Creating Posting runs

Result
The posting documents are created in accordance with the document creation type you chose. At
the same time, this data is sent to the Personnel Cost Planning database, PCL5, and can now be
used to create payroll results scenarios.

Editing Scenarios

Editing Scenarios

Purpose
By editing the figures in costing scenarios, you can see how anticipated organizational or pay
structure changes will impact personnel costs. To edit scenarios, you can work within Personnel
Cost Planning or if you prefer working with a spreadsheet, you can download the scenarios into
EXCEL™.

Process Flow
You edit scenarios one scenario group at a time. For example, if your scenario includes four
scenario groups, you cannot retrieve all four scenario groups at the same time and edit them.
You must select one scenario group to use.
The process of editing costing scenarios does not vary according to the type of scenario you use.
The procedures are the same for projected pay, basic pay and payroll result scenarios.
Within Personnel Cost Planning, you make changes at the following levels:
· Cost object level
· Cost item level
You can edit costing figures in the following ways:
1. Directly increase or decrease the value of cost items using a fixed amount or a
percentage rate.
2. Increase or decrease the quantity of cost objects assigned to organizational units or cost
centers.
3. Add new or deleting existing cost objects or elements.
4. Adjust the scenario period for cost objects or elements.

You gain access to the items you want to edit using the different view options
available. For more information on view options, see the following:

Changing Individual Cost Item Values

Prerequisites
You can increase or decrease the value of a selected cost item, and apply the change to every
cost object where the cost item is assigned. Such changes are applied on a percentage basis. If
you want to specify an absolute amount, see Changing a Cost Item Overview [Page 38]

The change does not apply to cost items that were originally expressed as a
percentage figure, for example, an employer contribution to a pension fund.
Changes made to cost item amounts do not affect the original wage elements in PD or wage
types in PA on which cost items are based.

Procedure
1. On the Change Personnel Costs: Overview Organizational Unit screen, choose Goto ®
Cost items ® Change
The Change Cost items dialog box appears.
2. Enter data as required
3. Choose Change

Result
The system changes the value of the cost item, and recalculates the scenario according to the
change.

If you want to work with cost items globally, it is helpful to see an overview of all cost
items. For further information, see Changing a Cost Item Overview [Page 38]

Changing a Cost Item Overview

Changing a Cost Item Overview

Prerequisites
You can review a list of cost items, and make edits while viewing the list. Working with a cost
item overview is helpful if you want deal with cost items as a group.
The cost items shown in the list vary according to the type of scenario you are working with, as
follows:
· Projected pay scenario

The cost items in the list represent every wage element that exists in the system.
· Basic pay or payroll results scenario

The costs elements represent every wage type and wage element that were referenced
in the scenario.
The overview window contains two entries for each cost item. You can use the first entry for
editing. The second entry is for reference purposes, so that you can compare cost item values.
You can enter changes as follows::
· In the Validity fields, change the scenario period.
· In the Amount field, change cost item amounts or percentages
The changes you enter affect the current scenario only.

Changes apply only to objects for which cost item values are derived through an
indirect valuation. Changes do not apply to cost items for which values are derived
from a direct valuation (for example, cost items based on wage types).

Procedure
1. On the Change Personnel Costs: Overview Organizational Units screen, choose Goto ®
Cost Items ® Overview.

Editing Cost Item Scenario Periods

Editing Cost Item Scenario Periods

Prerequisites
You can change costing figures by adjusting the scenario period of the cost items assigned to
cost objects.
The scenario period shows the length of time that the costs associated with a cost item are
included in a scenario. So, by reducing the scenario period, you reduce the costs associated with
the cost item.
When you edit scenario periods, the system “splits” the period so that there are two entries in the
table. The first entry shows the adjusted scenario period. The second entry shows the time
leftover from the original scenario period entry. To see the impact your change has on costs,
delete the second entry.

Procedure
1. On the Change Personnel Costs: Overview Cost Object screen, double click on the
object whose cost items you want to use.
The Change Personnel Costs: Cost item per Cost Object screen appears.
2. To change the scenario period for a cost item enter dates in the Start date and End date
columns.
3. Press ENTER.

Results
The system creates two entries in the table. To remove the second entry, see Deleting Cost

SAP AG Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP)
Adding Cost Objects

Adding Cost Objects

Prerequisites
You can add fictitious cost objects to a scenario, to represent the costs of objects that do not yet
exist.
To work with fictitious cost objects you must:
· Provide an object ID and name to represent the object
· Define costs for the object by adding cost items
The fictitious cost object exists only in the current scenario, and the original organizational plan is
unaffected.

It may be faster to change the quantity of a cost object. Changing the quantity of an
object makes sense if the costs you want to add are very similar to an existing
object. For further information, see Editing Quantities of Cost Objects [Page 44]

Procedure
1. On the Change Personnel Costs: Overview Cost Object screen, choose Edit ® Create
The Insert Cost Object dialog box appears.
2. Enter an object type, a ficticious and unique object ID and short text description
3. Choose Insert

The system warns you that the cost object is new you should maintain the cost items.
4. Confirm the system message

Result
The system saves the fictitious cost object. You can now add cost items to the ficticious cost
object, to define costs. For more information, see Adding Cost Items to Cost Objects [Page 39]

April 2001 43
Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP) SAP AG
Editing Quantities of Cost Objects

Editing Quantities of Cost Objects

Prerequisites
Adjusting the quantity of a cost object is one way you can adjust the costing figures.
Quantities are derived from the weights established in the Work Schedule infotype, in PD. Work
schedules state the average number of hours worked by a position, organizational unit, work
center or work schedule group. Normally, work schedules apply on a 100% basis, meaning that
the full schedule is worked. This is shown as 1.00 in Personnel Cost Planning (if you use the drill-
down feature).
By changing the weighting figure to 2.00, for example, you can indicate that the costs related with
a position should be doubled. By changing the weighting to 0.5 you indicate that costs for a
position should be cut in half.
Editing by quantity is helpful if, for example, a position becomes part-time, or you foresee a
period of time when a lot of overtime must be worked.

If you want to add costs to a scenario to represent new persons, it is also possible to
create fictitious objects. For further information, see Adding Cost Objects [Page 43]

Procedure
1. On the Change Personnel Costs: Overview Organizational Unit/Cost Center screen,
double click on the organizational unit or cost center you want to use.
The system lists all the cost objects associated with the organizational unit or cost center
selected.
2. Locate the cost object for which you want to edit the quantity
3. For the desired object, change the figure in the Number column.
4. Press ENTER.

Result
The system recalculates the scenario group according to your entry.

Editing Scenario Periods of Cost Objects

Editing Scenario Periods of Cost Objects

Prerequisites
You can change costing figures by adjusting the scenario period for the cost objects in a
scenario.
The scenario period shows the length of time that the costs associated with a cost object are
included in a scenario. So, by reducing the scenario period, you reduce the costs associated with
the object.
When you edit scenario periods, the system “splits” the period so that there are two entries in the
table. The first entry shows the adjusted scenario period. The second entry shows the time
leftover from the original scenario period entry. To see the impact your change has on costs,
delete the second entry.

Procedure
1. On the Change Personnel Costs: Overview Organizational Unit/Cost Center screen,
double click on the organizational unit or cost center you want to use.
The system lists all the cost objects associated with the organizational unit or cost center
selected.
2. Locate the cost object for which you want to edit the scenario period
3. For the desired object, to change the scenario period, enter dates in the Start date and
End date columns.
4. Press ENTER.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Purpose
Troubleshooting helps you to understand what went wrong if:
· You get unusual calculation results
· The system omits positions from scenario calculations
Troubleshooting also enables you to correct these problems.

If you get unusual calculation results

· The system may have omitted employees from a scenario calculation. This occurs when
the relationship between a position and an employee (relationship A/B 008) is not 100%
allocated. (You can apply weightings to the relationships you define between objects.)
· Distorted results occur if the parameters you enter to start a scenario do not make sense.
For example, you select objects for a scenario by naming a Planning period. You must
also provide a Period indicator, to specify the length of time for which calculations should
be calculated. If you select a two-month timeframe for the Planning period, and then you
select “annual” for the Period indicator, you get distorted results.
· You can calculate wage elements in Personnel Cost Planning, and wage types in
Personnel Administration daily, weekly, monthly, and so on. When you create Projected
Pay and Basic Pay scenarios, you can also calculate the scenarios daily, weekly,
monthly, and so on.
The calculation periods of wage elements and wage types may not match the calculation
period for a given costing scenario. When this occurs, the system does a conversion.
The conversion rates are stated in table T777L.
If your scenario results seem unusual, the conversion rates in table T777L may not be
correct for your firm. If so, edit the conversion rates.

If the system omits positions from scenario calculations

A position must either be held (have an assigned holder) or be vacant to be included in scenario
results.
Your organizational plan may include new positions that do not have holders. The system does
not include these positions in scenario calculations unless you create a Vacancy infotype record
(1007) for the positions.
If your company does not use the Vacancy infotype, then you must set a switch in Customizing,
so that the system treats all unoccupied positions as vacant. For details, refer to the Personnel
Planning and Development section of the IMG.

Display Scenarios

Display Scenarios
Use
This function allows you to display the calculation results using one standard screen (The Display
Personnel Costs: Overview Organizational Unit screen). This screen appears no matter which
source of data – projected pay, basic pay or payroll results – you use.
The system displays the data using a tabstrip. The tabstrip is made up of the following tabs:
· Organizational unit

The system displays all the organizational units that are included in your scenario group
together with the cost data per object.
· Cost center

The system displays all the cost centers together with the cost data.
· Cost object

The system displays all the cost objects that are associated with the organizational units
and cost centers in your scenario group.

Features
The display area for each tab is small and therefore, the system cannot display all the data at
once. However, you can select the information displayed in each tab and by choosing Choose,
you can use the Drill-Down Feature [Page 51] to view the cost object and cost item data stored
behind each object.

Additional Display Features

Interfaces with SAP Business Graphics and Microsoft Excelä allow you to work in a graphic or
spreadsheet environment.
The SAP Business Graphics feature shows both reference figures and actual figures in three-
dimensional bar graphs, making it easy to see the differences between the two. It is also easier
to see trends among the different organizational units or cost centers you are working with.

Drill-Down Feature

Drill-Down Feature

Use
The tabstrip displays the Personnel Cost Planning screens include a drill-down feature. This
means that you can view the underlying details of an item in the table by selecting and choosing
the element.
For example, assume you are working in the Display Personnel Costs: Overview Organizational
Unit tabstrip, and that you are viewing scenario data according to organizational unit. You can
select a particular organizational unit. When you do so, the display changes so that it shows
costs for each of the cost objects assigned to the selected organizational unit.
The Cost Object tab always shows the underlying cost items, when you drill-down on a cost
object.
To “drill-up” to a previous display, choose Back.

Displaying Scenarios/Scenario Groups

Displaying Scenarios/Scenario Groups

Prerequisites
You display scenario groups to review their contents. You cannot perform any editing in display
mode. If you want to edit scenario group contents, see Change Scenario [Page 35].
Display mode in Personnel Cost Planning includes a special feature that allows you to combine
calculation results from a scenario’s different scenario groups, into one calculation.
This feature is not available when you change scenarios, since separate scenario groups are
required for the transfer of information to Controlling (CO). However, viewing combined totals
may be interesting.
Display mode also lets you choose how costing information is presented. Costing figures can be
presented according to Cost Items [Page 10] or cost object [Page 11], or given in overall totals.
Alternatively, you can request all three.
The system presents the information in a report format.

Procedure
1. On the main Personnel Cost Planning screen, choose Planning ® Display
The Display Scenario Group screen appears.
2. Enter the data required to identify your scenario and choose Display.

Result

April 2001 53
Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP) SAP AG
Displaying Data by Position Costs

Displaying Data by Position Costs

Use
The display by position costs feature allows you to sort information in the top table, so that costs
are presented according to position. (The system identifies positions in the first column of the
table.)
This is useful for example, if you require a position-oriented display when you compare two
scenarios that have different sources of costing data.
Projected pay scenarios do not include employees, while basic pay and payroll result scenarios
do. Therefore, a meaningful comparison of different types of scenarios is problematic since you
cannot carry out an employee-to-employee comparison. However, every employee should be
related to a position. So, by switching the display to position costs, you can carry out a
comparison on a position-by-position basis.
You can select how you want to display position costs. The options are as follows:
· Detail
The table identifies costs for a position by providing a separate entry for each factor
involved in the calculation of the position’s cost. Separate entries appear if:
- The scenario period for the position is split.
- There are objects related to the position, and these objects are factored into
calculations for the cost of the position. For example, the table shows the employee
related to the position. It also shows the job related to the position, if the position’s
cost data was inherited from the job.
· Overall
The table identifies costs for a position by providing a single entry that summarizes all
factors that contribute to a position’s cost.
You cannot edit an entry for total costs.

Scenario Comparison

Scenario Comparison

Use
The ability to compare figures in different scenarios is central to the task of planning for future
personnel costs. Personnel Cost Planning handles comparisons in two ways. You can work with:
· A single scenario
· Two scenarios
Single Scenario
When you work with a single scenario, the window display shows two sets of figures – adjusted
and original.
The system shows figures from the original scenario calculation under the heading Reference
value, on the far right. One column to the left, the system dynamically adjusts the figures, as you
make changes. That is, every time you change the figures, the system re-calculates the scenario
for you.
In this way, you can compare the original scenario figures with adjusted figures. You can also
save the adjusted figures as a new scenario, if you wish to keep them.
Two Scenarios
You can retrieve two scenarios at the same time. Both sets of figures are shown side-by-side in
the window, allowing you to make a visual comparison. You can, for example, select one
scenario with payroll results, and another that includes a salary survey [Page 59]. Alternatively,
you can select one scenario with actual results, and another that shows target (projected) costs.
The system shows figures from the second scenario in the Reference value column. Figures
shown in this column can be expressed as absolute figures (normal numbers), or as percentage
figures by selecting a style. The percentage reflects the difference between the two scenarios.

Features
Personnel Cost Planning can also present scenarios in bar graphs, using SAP Business
Graphics. Graphics is particularly helpful in identifying costing trends. This feature is available
when you work with one or two scenarios.

Salary Survey

Salary Survey

Definition
Salary surveys refer to any type of salary, wage, benefit, and other workplace pay statistics that
are collected from various sources, and compiled together for analysis and distribution.
Salary surveys are often conducted by professional associations, and other similar organizations.
Results are often published, and they can also be purchased.

Use
You can retrieve survey results into Personnel Cost Planning to use in comparisons with costing
scenarios.
This is helpful since you can see how your company’s personnel costs compare with the industry
at large. From there, you can determine if, for example, you pay too much for a certain job or too
little, or if other companies provide better benefits packages, and so on.

Working with Surveys

Working with Surveys

Purpose
You can use salary surveys to determine, for example, how your company’s personnel costs
compare with the market average.

Process Flow
You can work with salary survey data in Personnel Cost Planning in different ways.
For example, you can:
1. Enter survey data.
2. Create a costing scenario using the survey data.
3. Retrieve a second costing scenario to use for comparison purposes.
You can also:
1. Create two separate plan versions, with one version containing the real cost planning
information, and the other salary information
2. Create separate scenarios for each plan version
3. Retrieve both scenarios for comparison
Enter Survey Data
You must enter salary survey data manually.
The system handles data entry of survey data through the Cost Planning infotype (1015). When
you create Cost Planning infotype records for positions, jobs, organizational units, or work
centers, you must assign the information to a subtype or a subcategory.
You can designate certain subtypes to hold information from a certain survey. So then, a single
position may have two or three different Cost Planning records at one time. One record would
contain the wage element information that reflects the actual situation, and the other two records
could contain data from two separate surveys.

You can customize the subtypes in Cost Planning records to suit your needs. For
details, refer to the Personnel Planning and Development section of the
Implementation Guide.
Create Costing Scenario
You develop a costing scenario for the survey data by creating a scenario using projected pay as
an information source. Be sure to specify the correct Cost Planning subtype in the Salary surveys
field of the Planning Basis for Projected Pay window. (Survey data is stored in designated
subtypes of the Cost Planning infotype.)
Load Second Scenario
While the survey scenario is open, use the load reference scenario option to retrieve a second
scenario, that you want to use for comparison.

Integration with Controlling (CO)

Integration with Controlling (CO)

Purpose
The Personnel Cost Planning component only handles personnel-related costs. However,
personnel costs are only one type of cost incurred by an organization. The Controlling
component on the other hand, can handle and create cost projections for the other types of
costs.
The Personnel Cost Planning component provides the Controlling component with the personnel-
related costs, so that they can be included in the overall financial plans and budgeting forecasts.

Prerequisites
Before you can post cost planning results to Controlling, you must:
· Ensure that your system is properly configured so that integration between CO and
Personnel Cost Planning is active.
· Assign cost centers to the organizational units, and, if required, to the positions in your
organizational plan.
For more information, see Assigning Cost Centers in Personnel Planning [Page 67]

Process Flow

You can transfer any scenario irrespective of the data source – projected pay, basic pay or
payroll results.
1. Create a plan scenario using one of the three cost planning methods
2. Edit your plan scenario until you are satisfied with your cost planning (optional)
3. Release your plan scenario. The system checks that your scenario is consistent and that the
cost elements and cost centers exist.
4. The system determines the necessary CO fiscal years to match your plan scenario's
planning period.
5. Only once the plan scenario has been released can you post the data to CO
6. Select a plan scenario together with the fiscal year and the controlling area and post the data
to CO
7. You can check the status of the scenarios in the release administration feature to see
whether the data has already been posted or is still waiting to be posted.

Result
The costing scenario data is transferred to Controlling and can be included in the overall
budgeting and financial plans.

Assigning Cost Centers in Personnel Planning

Assigning Cost Centers in Personnel Planning

Use
You must assign cost centers to the organizational units, and, if required, to the positions in your
organizational plan, for the transfer of costing scenarios between CO and Personnel Cost
Planning to take place.

Cost centers are usually assigned to organizational units. However, the cost center
for a position may not be the same as its parent organizational unit.

Integration
The principle of inheritance applies to cost center assignments. This means that an
organizational unit “inherits” the cost center assignment of its parent organizational unit, unless
you specify another cost center. Positions also inherit the cost center assignments of the
organizational units where they are assigned, unless you specify otherwise.

Prerequisites
To assign cost centers, you must provide the following information:
· Cost center code,
· Controlling area code

Activities
You assign cost centers by creating Relationship infotype records between cost centers and the
organizational units, and if required, the positions in your organizational plan. You can do this in
Detail Maintenance or Simple Maintenance.
You can limit the cost centers that can be selected, by setting a default controlling area. Because
you must provide both a cost center code and a controlling area code to identify cost centers,
setting a default controlling area limits the cost centers that can be selected.
You can set default controlling areas in Personnel Planning in the following ways:
1. You can set a default controlling area in table T77S0, item PPINT.

The system automatically applies the default to all organizational units, except where you
define an Account Assignment infotype record or a Relationship infotype record.
2. You can identify a default controlling area for selected objects using the Account
Assignment Features infotype.

(This is done in Detail Maintenance.)

Relationship infotype records always override any defaults set. Default controlling areas set in
Account Assignment Features infotype records override the default set in T77S0.

Relationship Infotype (1001) [Page 69]

Account Assignment Features Infotype (1008) [Page 70]

68 April 2001
SAP AG Personnel Cost Planning (PA-CM-CP)
Relationship Infotype (1001)

Relationship Infotype (1001)

Use
The Relationship infotype allows you to define, or describe, the inter-relationships that exist
between the different objects you work with in PD.
For example, you indicate that a employee or user holds a position by creating a relationship
infotype record between the position and the employee or user. You help identify the
organizational structure at your firm by creating relationship infotype records between the
different organizational units that exist. You identify the tasks that the holder of a position must
perform by creating relationship infotype records between individual tasks and a position. And so
on.
Defining and maintaining relationship infotype records is an essential part of setting up
information in PD. Without relationships, all you have are isolated pieces of information.
You can create and maintain numerous relationship records for a single object. For example, it is
likely that one organizational unit could have relationship records with several other
organizational units, numerous positions, a work center, and so on.

Integration
There are many types of relationships that are possible between different objects. Each individual
relationship is actually a subtype, or a category, of a relationship.
Certain relationships apply only to certain objects. So, when you create relationship infotype
records you must select a relationship that is suitable for the two objects involved. For example, a
relationship that could be applied to two organizational units may not make any sense for a work
center and a job.

The Allowed Relationships of Object Types report (RHRELAT0) documents the

relationships that are suitable for different objects. The Relationship Infotype screen
also includes an Allow.Relationships button. When you choose it, a dialog box
displays a list of suitable relationships.

Prerequisites
You must decide which types of relationship records you require.

You must create relationship records when you work in Detail Maintenance.However,
when you work in Simple Maintenance and Structural Graphics, the system
automatically creates certain relationship infotype records.

Features
Personnel Planning includes a standard set of relationships, when the system is installed. You
can select from these, although it is also possible to create other relationships.

Account Assignment Features Infotype (1008)

Account Assignment Features Infotype (1008)

Use
The Account Assignment Features infotype applies to organizational units and positions, and the
infotype serves the following purposes:
1. Plays a role in the assignment of cost centers to objects
You need cost center assignments if you plan to use the Personnel Cost Planning
component.
2. Allows you to enter default settings helpful for Personnel Administration
These default settings help facilitate a more efficient integration of Personnel Planning
and Personnel Administration.

Features
Cost Center Assignments
This infotype allows you to specify cost center-related default settings for organizational units and
positions. These default settings, in turn, help the system to suggest appropriate cost center
assignments for objects.
Setting defaults makes sense since they help to prevent people from entering inappropriate or
contradictory information.
Cost centers are determined according to a combination of different pieces of information, for
example, company codes and controlling areas. By setting defaults for these items, you can
control or guide the cost centers that can be assigned to objects.
The principle of inheritance applies to account assignment defaults. For example, the defaults set
for an organizational unit are inherited by underlying organizational units, as well as positions
assigned to the organizational units.
If you do not want to setup defaults using the Account Assignment infotype, it is also possible to
enter a single default for all organizational units, in Customizing.

Personnel Administration Defaults

This infotype allows you to apply a personnel area to an organizational unit or position. Personnel
areas are used to derive several different default settings that, for example, pertain to payroll,
authorities, and so on.
The inheritance principle applies to personnel areas. This means that employees automatically
inherit personnel areas assigned to organizational units and positions, unless you specify
otherwise.
This presents the following advantages for Personnel Administration users:
1. Building up personnel area assignments is faster, since you don’t have to assign
personnel areas to each employee.
2. Users are less likely to make mistakes, since the system suggests the inherited values.
Specifying personnel areas presents an added benefit for customers using Personnel
Planning and Personnel Administration together. Each personnel area has a company
code assignment, and company codes are one of the factors used to determine cost

Account Assignment Features Infotype (1008)

centers. (Personnel Administration may require cost center assignments so that payroll
charges can be charged back.)
This means that if you specify a personnel area, it is not necessary to complete the rest
of the infotype.

Releasing Scenarios
Prerequisites
Release scenarios when you are satisfied that a scenario reflects projected costs as accurately
as possible.
When you attempt to release scenarios, the system automatically checks all cost center
assignments, to ensure they are valid and determines the fiscal year to match the planning
period. If any errors are detected, you cannot release the scenario until all the errors have been
corrected.

Procedure
1. On the main Personnel Cost Planning screen, choose Planning ® Release.
The Releasing a Plan Scenario screen appears.

Use
In Personnel Cost Planning, you can calculate personnel costs based on the organizational
structure by creating scenario groups which are grouped and administered in plan scenarios. If
you have assigned cost centers to your organizational units, positions and employees and also
assigned wage elements to the cost items, you can then use this data as plan values in CO.
If you release this data in HR, the system checks the consistency of the cost centers and cost
items and due to the planning period, the system must also determines the corresponding fiscal
year in FI/CO. In CO, you can display all the HR plan scenarios that have been released. As a
rule, only those plan scenarios that are being used as plan values are displayed.

See also:
Business Process: Personnel Cost Planning (Release Smaller than 4.6A) [Page 79]

Integration
Here we assume that at least on system is of a release smaller than 4.6A.

Functions in the HR R/3 System

· Create a plan scenario
Before you can transfer personnel costs to CO, you must have created a plan scenario.
When you do this, you must make sure that you have maintained a cost center
assignment for your organizational units, positions and employees. You must also assign
all your wage types and wage elements to cost items.
· Edit a plan scenario
Independent of the data selected, you can change and adapt the plan scenario.
(optional)
· Release plan scenario
You need to release a plan scenario so that CO can access it. The system has to
determine the fiscal year in which the planning period falls and validate the existence of
the wage and cost items. If the data is inconsistent, you cannot release the plan scenario
and must edit the data again.

Functions in the CO R/3 System

· Transfers the planned personnel costs contained in the plan scenario into plan values.
In accordance with the cost centers and cost items, the costs distributed and posted to
FI/CO periods. You can only transfer one controlling area per transfer. When you transfer
the data, you must also specify the CO version in to which the data is to be transferred.

Description
The prerequisite for integration is that the master data – cost center and cost item – is distributed
from CO into HR. All the read and validation accesses take place locally in the HR system.
When you release a plan scenario, the system validates the cost center and cost items locally.
The relevant CO fiscal year is defined by the CO system. This only applies if the CO system is
release 4.0 or higher. If the CO system is of a release lower than 4.0, you must replicate the
fiscal year variant in the HR system.
Once the plan scenario has been released, it can be transferred into CO. The transfer from HR to
CO takes place in the CO system. Before you can do this however, you must first create the
scenarios to be released in the HR system. The data contained in the plan scenario selected, is
then transferred from HR into CO and then posted to FI/CO. The posting is then confirmed in the
HR system.
