Can you guide how to configure this.

Hi,

V DA is based on both Consumer price index & Basic . Even on the allowance grouping model. what you have to do at all: Just mention the basic percetage, the additional amount to calculate the DA, if there is any along with that you give the per rupees increse effect.

Now you run the batch programme of DA. Which will calculate the wagetype & update it into basic pay.

Hope this helps....

Bingo...

Hi Ajay,

Pls tell us why you need to run batch input program every time .

Will it not take consideration in Payroll?

You are working with Variable DA...right? Now this will depend on the change of place, as well as change in basic...if u don't run the batch programme then you have to manually calculate the differences each & every time. Which will be not possible for me if I am running a payroll for 4500 employees....

Thank u Ajay,

In my requirment DA is not calculated based on Basic.

We have 2 locations which comes under different zones

1) at one location DA calculated as

Current Month DA = Customer Price Index (Old) of 2 months prior to the payable month *1.25 (Rate is Rs.1.25 Per point)

2) at another location DA calculated as

Current DA = Last month DA + Differnece Points * 6 (Rate is Rs.6 Per point)

Please suggest me how to proceed...

Thanks & Regards
