Benefits and Travel Manager

Hi,
In our company we have some type of claims like medical, transport etc where in the entitlement of an employee is maintained under one customized table. and utilization amount by the employee is maintained under another customized table.
We use .NET as front end to apply medical claims.
Let me give an example
Each employee is eligible for 400 dollars every year for medical claims, so in our customized table for medical entitlement we have an year and entitlement amount. Suppose when a staff apply a claim for 20 dollars, the .net first check the entitlement table whether any record for the current year and create a record in the travel manager for 20 dollars and updates the customized utilization table with employee number and the amount. Next time when staff apply for another claim again the same check will be done. dot NET uses RFC function modules to interface with SAP in order to check the eligibility. Our system is working fine with this current customized tables and Customized RFC function modules.
But now we want to move away from the usage of the customized tables for entitlement and utilization maintainence. Is there any way we can tap on SAP to meet this scenarios. Just curious to know how the other companies are maintaining their benefits, that is they make use of travel manager or benefits. I am checking on the benefits module.
Thanks and Regards

Hi there!
I don't have a complete answer for you, but may have some useful information.
We use Benefit Plan and IT0170 Flexible Spending Accounts to store employer paid Medical Reimbursement money. It is controlled with Start/End dates like other infotypes.
As far as posting payments to it, we have outsourced that piece to a third party vendor, but you can store the initial amounts here easily.
To setup the Flexible Spending account plans go to:
SPRO>Personnel Management>Benefits>Plans>Flexible Spending Accounts.
Sorry I can't help with the posting payments or Travel expenses, we don't use that part.
Hope this helps a little.

Report on Cost And Utilization in PM Module

Hi Experts,
I want some help in generating a report called Cost And Utilization in PM Module.
Any body can help me with some documents or if any body created same kind of report in Pm just do provide me some details on how create the report.
The requirement of this report is as follows,
This Report is generated from the service order or the notification which ever is latest on the equipment in the date range given by the user.
In Report I want to calculate the field Estimated Hours.The main problem we are having here is the Hour Meter infobject is of Type characteristic it is not key figure.
Based on the User input Date range the Estimated Hours calculation needs to be done.The Estimated Hours are calculated from Estimated Hours Begin and Estimated Hours End.
For calculating the Begin and End Hours we need to have some fields.The fields required for calculating the Begin and End are,
Initial Hour Meter,Adjusted Hour Meter,Fleet Management Date these three fields are picked from the Equipment Master data for a particular Equipment and the Hour Meter Reading is the latest Meter Reading of the equipment it is populated from the Service Order or Notification which ever is latest in the date ange given by user.
There are some conditions in calculating the Hour Meter Reading Begin and End.
If the Fleet Management Date (Start-up Date on EM) started before the input date Date Range (From-Date), calculate the average usage (in hours) based on the initial hours and
If the Fleet Management Date started after the From-Date, use the Hour Meter (EM) as the Estimated Hours Begin.
If the last PMN (or SO) fell short of the Date Range (To-Date), obtain the Estimated Hours End by applying the average usage to fill the time-gap.
If the last PMN (or SO) fell after the Date Range (To-Date), get the Estimated Hours End by getting the next to last PMN performed inside the window parameter,
Adjusted Hours, if not zero or null, needs to be added to the Ending Hours to achieve the real number.
The example for calculating the above requirement is below,
User Input Date Range: Jan. 1, 2006 - Dec. 31, 2006
Initial Hour (Equipment Master): 10
Adjusted Hours (Equipment Master): 0
Fleet Management Date (Equipment Master): Dec. 1, 2005
1st PM Notification (Feb. 1, 2006): 410
Last PM Notification (Feb. 1, 2007): 2810
Second to last PMN (Dec. 1, 2006): 2410
     Equipment was put into service (12/1/05) before the Date Range, needs to find the Estimated Hours Begin.
     The first PM was performed (2/1/06) exactly two months from in-service date (12/1/05).
     Average monthly usuage from first PMN = (410 - 10) / 2 = 200
     Estimated Hours Begin = 200 + 10 = 210 (estimated Hour Meter Reading on Jan. 1, 2006)
     Average monthly usuage from the last 2 PMN = (2810 - 2410) / 2 months = 200
     Estimated Hours End = 2410 + 200 + 0 (adjusted hours) = 2610 (estimated Hour Meter Reading on Dec. 31, 2006)
     Estimated Hours Total = 2610 - 210 = 2400
If you have any queries regarding the requirement just let me know i will let you know.
Thanks in advance
Bobby

Mahee,
We have maintained all personnel no of the employess working under a particular Maint.Work center in HRMS tab. Employee master data for all Infotypes are maintained in Personnel Management in HR module. So wen the Employee enters Time details of his working hours per day, he has to mention the maintenance order Or it is like a standing order on the time sheet per line item. Wen transfer of working hours will be done on a particular order the entire cost will be reflected in Cost tab page. Since me have maintained different Activity type/Activity price per employee I am confused about the flow of cost...
Ur suggestions were valuable.... hope to get some more clearity...

What are the key benefits and limitations of new pricing model of X5-2?

What are the key benefits and limitations of new pricing model that started with X5 version?

1. Elastic Configurations
Size/price hardware by the number of servers; Fixed configs no longer required
Start with 2 Database Servers and 3 Storage Servers. Incrementally add database or storage servers online.
2. Capacity-on-Demand (CoD)
Upon installation, activate 40-100% of the cores per server and reduce software licenses; Applies to Eighth Rack now too
Activate and license more cores when needed; Active cores may not be deactivated
3. OVM and Trusted Partitions
License software on Virtual CPUs within a VM; Ideal for special-purpose DB options
You can mix different combination of options for different DB on one Exadata.
OVM has no License cost; support is included with premier hardware support
Limitation:
At least 40% of usable cores on the machine must be licensed for Oracle software
Cannot use both OVM and CoD to license less than 40% of cores
A server must be virtualized or non-virtualized – not mixed
A RAC cluster can mix virtualized and non-virtualized servers
4. “Flash Drive” License Metric for EF Storage Server Software
$20K/drive; 8 flash drives/EF server vs 12 disk drives/HC server = 33% higher list
Can transfer licenses between Flash Drive (2 licenses/drive) and Disk Drive (1 license/drive) – part # is the same

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

Customizing Benefits and Payments iview in ESS Portal

Hi Guys ;
I am working on ESS portal.
I want to add new links and textviews in the Benefits and Payments iview. After adding them I want to rearrange their positions with respect to existing fields on the iview.
I tried by opening the preview of iview from
Content Administration -> portal Content -> ESS->iviews ->Benefits and Payments iview.
Then I selected an existing link on the preview of iview and did ctrl + right click but when I select any uielement and click on rearrange I don't get any filed inthe table to rearrange its empty.
Is there any particular node in UI element tree to be selected to rearrange the fieldst?
Please reply I am in a fix.

1) How can employee know when their benefits should start (cant enter start date via ESS)
- It appears that they need to enter a start date but cannot
Typically, EEs are not allowed to enter a start date for benefits coverage. The start date usually depends on the type of enrollment.
If it is a new hire enrollment - the start date for benefits coverage will be the employee start date.
If it is open enrollment - the start date for benefits coverage will be the beginning of the following year (open enrollment is done usually towards the end of the current year - for benefits coverages of the following year)
If it is a generic enrollment (for example - birth of a new child) - the start date will be the beginning date of the corresponding adjustment reason (IT0378 record start date).
2) For insurance enrollment, why does BASIC COVERAGE show ZERO amount. Can we remove if we can?
This is a generic screen used for all the plans and hence it shows ZERO amount. You may choose to customize the code if you want to.
3) We need to relabel some of these plans we set up for HSA - how can we do that?
This can be done by changing the corresponding texts in the benefits configuration. The webdynpro application reads it from there.

Hi,
To change the Salary Statement you must create a copy of standard salary statement using HRFORMS transaction. You can do any changes in this copy. (Select your country gruop or molga)
After you do that you must configure the decision feature to show your own Salary Statement
Go to the SPRO transaction and navigate to:
Personnel Management -> Employee Self-Service -> Service-Spacific Settings -> Benefits and Payments -> Salary Statement -> Form Using HR Forms Workplace (HRFORMS) ->Enter HR Form Name
Expand HRFOR -> RCLAS -> C -> Molga (select you country or include new one) and enter the HRFORM name that you created in the previous step.
To enable or disable links
Go to the se24 transaction
create a new class that implements IF_XSS_SER_PROXY_SERVICE
You need to implement the three methods to enable or disable the service according your needs. You can see the CL_BENEFITS_AREAPAGE standard implementation to get more information.
After you created your class you need go to:
Cross-Application Components -> Homepage Framework ->
Services -> Define Services -> Define Services (Add entries)
And enter your class name in the Proxy Class.
Best regards.

"Your Benefits and Payroll Information" links referencing the wrong URL-ESS

Hi Everyone,
At my project we need to change the underlying URL for the following links found under "Your Benefits and Payroll Information" page.
Other Benefits and Discount Programs
Family Status Change Form for Mid-year Benefit Changes
Other Benefits Forms
Contacts for your Daiichi Sankyo Benefits
As per our project requirements, the under lying URL for each of the above links should be some destination within our intranet. We made this change in the SAP backend, however when we go to the Portal and click on one of the links we are routed to a non-existent URL. See the examples below for a clearer picture of our issue...
Example
Link in the SAP Backend:
https://intranet.cst.com/site/contentEngine/content.cfm?page_content_ID=10
Link that appears in the Browser:
https://intranet.cst.com/site/contentEngine/content.cfm?sap-ext-sid=UdlIJGAn0j9oUqRvdXQAiw%3D%3DW1T29yaXY6w1Opgh68Tu%2Bg%3D%3D%2Fpcd%3Aportal_content%2Fcom.sap.cst.cst%2Fcom.cst.hr%2Fcom.cst.ess%2Fcom.cst.bpc%2Fcom.cst.roles%2Fcom.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service%2Fcom.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service%2Fcom.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_benefits_payment%2Fcom.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_benefits_payment%2Fsap.com%2Fpcui_gp%7Exssutils%2FXssMenuArea%2Fbase&sap-wd-cltwndid=WID1187716517421&sap-accessibility&cm_master_id=7&sap-locale=en&sap-rtl&sap-epcm-guid=E17C87B9D5443FA5D60E8A4091BE470F1F5103DF87581876A294DCD2ACFB6061&page_content_ID=10&sap-wd-renderMode=viewArea&sap-ep-version=7.00.200705080819&sap-wd-tstamp=1187724894684&sap-cssversion=7.0.9.0.0&sap-wd-app-namespace=zzzz&sap-cssurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcst.spcsm.carsenst.com%3A50000%2Firj%2Fportalapps%2Fcom.sap.portal.design.urdesigndata%2Fthemes%2Fportal%2Fsap_tradeshow%2Fur%2Fur_ie6.css%3F7.0.11.0.0&sap-wd-finish-rendering=false
We tried to go around this issue by creating a URL iView and then calling the URL iView from the SAP Backend. So instead of a valid URL we entered the location of the iView (ROLES://...) in the backend. This also, had the same result as before...The URL iView is launched, however the URL iView has the second URL.
Not sure what is causing this...any ideas?
Thanks!
Guy

Christopher,
Thanks for your reply! I created a resource with fields Window Properties populated with "_blank" and a URL specified in the URL of Resource Object field. I then create a Service and assigned the Resource to Link Resource and chose "Direct Url launched in separate window" for the Service Type. I then assigned the Service to the a Subarea.
The result was the link did not show up. When I add the URL to "URL of PCD Page" and "Directory Path" in the Resource area the link shows up but does the above with the URL.
Thanks
Guy
