[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am currently testing out the Enterprise Compensation Management functions and had completed till the stage of "Approved" the compensation process of a particular person "Miss Jenny Tan" for Salary Adjustment.

However, i met issue when trying to use T-code: PECM_CHANGE_STATUS (Change Compensation Process Status) to change the status from "Approved" to "Active".

Salary adjustment of Miss Jenny Tan on 01.12.2010 could not be activated

Message no. HRECM00MASTERDATA009

Moreover, it shows another error message which is to "Enter a quantity" which i don't understand where to place the quantity.

Enter a quantity

Message no. PG071

Which i turn unable me to Update Basic Pay from Planned Compensation using T-code: PECM_UPD_0008_1005 "Update Basic Pay from Planned Compensation"

I hope someone can help me out with this, as i have been trying to figure this out for quiet some time:(

Thank you for your kind assistance.

Regards.

Did you plan the increase in MSS or did you create the IT0759 in PA30? If you created in PA30 - did you put a value in the amount field? Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question, but the activation relies on the amount and not the percent field. If you plan in MSS, either input will calculate the other, but in PA30 you have to manually hit the calc buttons up top for the system to do that. You can put any number in the % field you want, but the system will use the amount field during the activation.

Hope this helps,

hi

Usually quantities are used for LTIP's where you would have a stock grant,

can you check if your plan is of type LTI

check Compensation Plan Config node or T71ADM02 and see if it is of Comp Category is of type 4( LTI grant)

Hi,

Since I cannot see the configuration you have already done, please review step by step the creation of this compensation review. First, go to the IMG: Personnel Administration --> Enterprise Compensation Management --> Compensation Administration --> Compensation Plans and Reviews --> Define Compensation Plans, you should have created a plan for this salary change - we will call it "Merit" - with a Category "1-Salary Adjustment". "Merit" should be assigned to a Review (2011) and an Item in the next steps (MR11) so you now have a "Merit 2011" item. You can now assign Item Attributes to set an effective date for "Merit 2011". Use Compensation Plan Attributes and Compensation Plan Payroll Data so that "Merit" is assigned to a wage type.

When IT0759 is created you should have the effective date entered from the item "Merit 2011", the amount and currency. When running PECM_CHANGE_STATUS, you should make sure to run as of the effective date of the Review item and select the correct Plan. You should then be able to change the status from In Preparation to Submitted, from Submitted to Approved and Approved to Activated.

You should be utilizing MSS for the manager to enter the pay adjustment information and I have left those steps out, but you should be able to set up the Plan, Review and Item, make the appropriate entries manually via PA30 and then use PECM_CHANGE _STATUS to activate and automatically create the IT0008.
