**Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental**
Environment
- Compensation Management
Resolution
- This is used when setting up budgets where different groups of employees have different budget %. An example of this is where a company has employees in various Countries. The budget for US is 5% for Canada is 6% for UK it is 4% and you have managers who have employees across the countries.
- The calculate the budget by employee, then add all the employees budget on the managers form together and this will create the total budget for the manager.
Setting Up Groups
- Please refer to oursolution on how to set up groups.
- Example Group as seen in xml:
< budget-calcuseFor="salary" budgetOn="merit" familyName="GMAC" mode="PercentOfCurSal" basedOn="group" includeIneligible="false" prorating="false">0.0</budget-calc>
- UI or import file based budgeting tool which allows the managers to determine budget for group of employees
- To set via UI go to template > Plan Setup > Plan Details > Budgets

- Does NOT work with EC Integrated Plan Templates
- Person must belong to one group only
