Benefits Enrollment

I managed to define a set of standard plans(default/automatic), but somehow, a " spouse insurance" plan is showing up on an emplyee(single employee) default plans.
I still want tha "spouse plan" ( insurance plan)to be default for employees, but only to married employees and not single.
How do i make the distinction?
Please advise me.
thanks.

Hello,
Spouse Insurance Plan is given employees who have eligible spouse. An Employee can only enroll in Spouse Insurance Plan if an Employee has valid spouse on IT0021. In configuration Benefit Coverage variant & Benefit Coverage rule table,you define Read data for Spouse & Domestic partner. Hope it helps,
Kind Regards

CUSTOMIZED BENEFITS ENROLLMENT FORM NOT PRINTING PROPERLY

Hi there,
I customized the benefits enrollment form HR_BEN_ENRO and I am trying to print the form in HRBEN00CEWB but only the first page is printing and not all the plans are showing up even if th employee is enrolled in more than one plan.I dont know on what basis its getting the information and showing up.When I do a print preview of the form in SE71 the form shows up all the pages but when i goto transaction HRBEN00CEWB its not printing all the pages.Its just printing the first page even in print preview.i didnt modify the standard program.I modified the form and assignmend to the print program in the config.Any solutions??Please help
Karthik.

May be because the Main window is placed halfway in the second and third page. If you are using a single page may be you have restricted other windows by specifying conditions "only on first page".
To rectify this you can copy the first page into second page and altering the position of the main window. Now assign the next page of first page as second and next page of second page as second page itself.
Revert back if you have doubts.

Converting Warning Message to Error Message in Benefits Enrollment Screen

Hello SAP,
How to convert Warning Message to Error Message in Benefits Enrollment Annual Enrollment Screen.
Warning Message: No beneficiaries selected for plan XXXX.
As per my requriement, there is one warning message which is popping up when all the plans total donot count to 100 %. At that time we need to show a Error message instead of Warning Message. Now warning message is displayed.
Reason: Insurance plans require error message when beneficiaries donot total to 100%
My question is in which message class or in which Table these messages are maintained and how to modify it.
Thanks,
Sankar Narayana

which badi you are using?
You cant use all methods to raise a error message
for example
Error_table of the method CHECK_DEPENDENTS of user exit PBEN0032 should
olny be used to raise configuration errors. Please use
CONSISTENCY_ERRORS to display any error message[move the content of
error_table to consistency_errors and clear the error_table inside the
method CHECK_DEPENDENTS].

OAB/OSB Oracle Advanced/Standard Benefits Enrolling Issue manually.

Hello Everyone - The issue I am about to list below maybe peculiar in ERP nature and I think it will get lot of Benefits Guru thinking as it has got me(tho I am no Benefits Guru).
First, lets get basic nuts and bolts in place about the environment,
1. We are using Oracle 11i for just HR with functionality of payroll and benefits as suitable to client.
2. Payroll is outsourced, maintaining benefits is outsourced.
3. Deciding if it is OSB or OAB is bit tricky here, as parts of both are used.
4. Only one Life Event - 'UnRestricted' is used.
5. Benefit Programs, Plans, Options are built just as it is in outsourced Benefits Portal.
6. Activity Rate is built and attached to Payroll Elements. This maintains the correct information for employee benefits and this information is pushed to outsourced Payroll for deductions.
7. Open Enrollements were done in NOV.11 FOR THE year-2012.
8. No Benefits or Payroll concurrent processes are executed in Oracle.
9. New enrollments and changes to current enrollments are done via Benefits Service Center-->Non-Flex Program form.
Now that we have established the ground, lets detail out the issue,
10.A new plan is created for LTD as of Jan.01,2012. This plan falls in a Plan Type. We just have one single Benefit Program. Variable Rate Profile and Standard Rates for LTD plan started as of Jan.01,2012.
11. Eligibility Profile is created for this plan based on only Age band, e.g., 1-20..21-29...etc.
12. Variable Rate Profile is built as per the age band and attached with above Eligibility Profile. Details of important information for Variable Rate profile is as the following,
- Employee Payroll Contribution
- Aftertax
-Monthly
- Multiply By
- Rates
Calculation Method - Multiple of Compensation
Multiplier - .07
Operator - PER hUNDRED
Comp. Factor - Monthly Salary
Rounding COde - Round to Nearest Hundreth
13. Standard rate details are as below,
- Calculation Method - Flat Amount
- Enter Value At Enrollment is selected.
Values for Min,Max,Increment,Default is enter
No other information on any other form is enter.
Lets come to the issue now, please keep in mind that Non Flex Program form is used via Benefits Service Center to execute below situations,
============================================================================================================
Situation 1-
Client wanted to put employees on this plan from Jan.01,2012 BUT is not able to because the pay period start date for Jan.01,2012 falls on Dec.19,2011. As plan is created on Jan.01,2012 so it is not allowing to enroll employees on Jan.01 so instead they are enrolled as of Jan.02,2012(pay period start date for second period 2012).
Questions 1-
Is it ok to start them on Jan.02,2012? Does that mean employees are not covered for one day? Is it possible to change the start date of the plan, variable profile and standard rate before or on Dec.19,2011? OR can we force to enroll employees from Jan.01,2012?
===========================================================================================================
Situation 2 -
New employees are created after January 2012 and and benefits administrator tries to enroll them on the plan. Employee start date falls in middle of the pay period start and end date hence while enrolling a system error pops up that employee assignment is not active as of the pay period start date. This is true so as a workaround, these employees are enrolled on the plan from the next pay period from the date of joining.
Question 2 -
Is this expected functionality in benefits? IF it is then is there a way to enroll employees on the benefit plan as of the joining date, without worrying about the pay period start date?
===============================================================================================================
Situation 3 -
Different behavior on non flex program form for just one employee who has been with the company for 2 years on full-time basis. When tried to enroll this employee on the LTD plan, a pop-up window appears with all rate options setup as per the variable rate profile. If a rate is selected from this list than it defaults the amount in the Defined section of Amount Tab. While for everyone else, when enrolling them on the Plan, no pop-up window appears and the benefits administrator can enter the Amount in Defined section.
Question 3 -
Is this an expected functionality? Can someone please shed some light on why this is happening and how to fix it?
=============================================================================================================
Thats all I have for now and I really need advice on the 3 situations above. I have hit the road block and not sure how to proceed.
Looking forward to the post replies.
Thanks in Advance.

- This depends on your business case. Product feature wise, all are possible options. Some easier than others. You can control when the coverage starts and when the employee starts paying in separate codes. So, one can be different from the other.
===========================================================================================================
Situation 2 -
New employees are created after January 2012 and and benefits administrator tries to enroll them on the plan.

Question 2 -
Is this expected functionality in benefits? IF it is then is there a way to enroll employees on the benefit plan as of the joining date, without worrying about the pay period start date?
- The only requirement in OAB is that the person should be available as of the life event occured date. Of course in case of a new hire, you cannot write any data before the start date of the person. this needs to be handled via correct configuration. If you want the employees to get enrolled from the next pay period, chose appropriate rate and coverage start date codes.===============================================================================================================

Benefits Enrollment (SAP 5.0 ECC)

After proccessing all customizing steps I'm unable to enroll a benefit insurance plan. The error message "No entry found in the adjustment authorization table" appears. Any idea's what might be missing?
Any documentation regarding benefits would be very helpfull!

You need to setup the Adjustment Grouping/Reasons and Adjustment Permissions for the corresponding plan type in the IMG (Benefits > Flexible Administration > Benefits Adjustment Reasons). Hope you have setup these and created IT0378 record for that personnel assignment.
What I doubt is the adjustment reason for that Insurance Plan Type doesn't have the 'Add' Permission checked in the 'Define Adjustment Permissions' step.
Also you can check Benefit Administration >Enrollement > Benefit Offer page at <<http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/7e/8a66ff545711d1891c0000e8322f96/frameset.htm>> for further info.
Please get back if this doesn't resovle your issue.

Doubt in Benefits enrollment..unable to see all available plans

Hi Friends...
To enroll my employee in Benefits program , At first i select the employee and an appropriate plan offer.But i could nt able to see all the available plans for which the employee is eligible.The system is not displaying automatically the eligible plans for the employee.
Please let me know where i have done the mistake.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
sairam

Hi Vikram,
I think you would not maintained some of the eligibility criteira.
Kindly recheck the same.
Also, if you still have a problem, and you know debugging knowledge(or can get it from someone), just do a debug on the tcode, and do a breakpoint on 'statement' "message" . This shall bring you the the place where the error is being created, and then you can find exact reason / table for the cause of error.
hope this helps.

Benefits enrollment for a single employee without spouse

Currently on ECC6 (ERP 2005) and EP7......We have an enrollment reason for "anytime" reasons and within that, several plans are offered, one of which is spouse life insurance. On the backend, this works fine (ie. via PA20/30) however, for the ESS side of things, we seem to have an issue.....
Now, first off, for a single person, this would cause an error message to pop up saying the spouses' date of birth could not be determined (used in the insurance calc, I suppose) since the person did not have a spouse. Doh! Sooooo we applied a note that implements a BAdi and removes the error.
(notes applied:
- 861657 Missing spouse information during benefit enrolment
- 1012001 BADI Correction for ERP 2005 )
Problem now however, the error does not show, but the user STILL has no plans offered to them. If we add a spouse, viola...they all show up. If we keep the person without a spouse and simply remove that plan from the enrollment....still no plans offered.
Ideas?
(posted in the HCM forum as well)

Found and fixed ! Additional notes had to be applied....
Note 999510 - ESS:webdynpro application do not display any benefit plan
and the main one that fixed it....
Note 973390 - No Benefit plans are displayed for Adjustment Reason
Hope this helps others!

Reg:- Customization of ESS Benefits Enrollment Overview page

Hi All,
I have a requirement to customize the Overview page of Add/Change Dependants and Benefeciaries. I need to change the text of the buttons, "New Father", "New Mother", "New Child" and "New Emergency Contact". I have imported the ESS Business Package into NWDS.
The problem is, I do not know the exact DC used to make changes to these changes. Can someone help me on the same? Please provide me the DC which is being referenced in this scenario.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Pavithra,
Youc an use the FPM view to edit the texts of buttons. Just Go to the iview where you want to change the text in Content ADMIN--> Portal Content. Right click and preview it. After previewing use CTRL+Right Click by focusing on the button. There you can change the name of button.

Mass benefits enrollment upon cost change

We have a custom interface that passes employee plan deductions (plan and amount) to ADP. It's a relatively standard ABAP-coded interface that passes any changes through IDOCs.
Now a provider raises their plan costs. I enter the new costs into IMG, but this does not automatically create any new benefit infotypes. However an employee's current IT167, 168 etc infotypes now reflect the new costs. But as it is the current infotype and not a new record, none of the new deductions would get picked up by the interface to ADP.
How have you seen this done in the past? The only solution I can come up with is to use the same code we have for benefit plan conversions to do a mass conversion into the same plans, or a similar custom utility to create the new infotypes as of the cost change date (and thus raise the IDOC change pointers for the interface).
Thanks, Vlad

Looks like the custom ABAP program kicks-off only with a change in a infotype. I do not prefer creating new infotypes or new plans (when plan costs changes).
I would trigger the ABAP program if there are changes to cost rules tables.

ESS Benefits open enrollment - Issue

Hi,
When we click on the benefits open enrollment link, we do not want some of the plans to be displayed to the ess user. Is there any way to control it ( SPRO or BAdI ).
Env - EP 7.0, ECC6.0
Thanks,
Ravi

I posed the same question to an ESS consultant who responded with the following:
"The plans presented in benefits enrollment (PZ14) and Participation Overview (PZ07) are list output from ABAP. You can go into the program and select or exclude some of them based on certain criteria. I've seen customers extend the Plan infotype to add a flag field to make it configurable to show, not show a given plan."
Since specific instructions weren't given, I wouldn't consider the issue answered.
However, I can provide the following work around:
Due to the fact that different populations have different open enrollment period timeframes, and all populations have been configured under one benefit area...we decided to create an "Open Enrollment Adjustment Reason" for each group instead. Thus, the Adjustment Reason permissions will only display the plans we want the employee to see via ESS. Prior to the open enrollment period for the population, we will run the Mass Adjustment Reason report to create IT378 for all relevant employees. The OE offer will appear as another Adjustment Reason under the Enrollment service in ESS.

Regd:Benefits Open Enrollment Issue

Hi SAP,
I have problem in Open Enrollment which is in ESS.
We have used the Portal Navigation for designing the Navigation instead of Homepage Framework.
When we were using Homepage frame work the open Enrollment works fine(ie) it will be highlighted when the period is opened and it will be glared when the period is closed.
But now after changing the navigation design it is working fine when the period is open but its not getting blared or disabled when it is closed instead it gives me the error.
I need to make it disable when the period is closed.
Is there any configuration that I have to do.
Please put me some light on it.
Its very urgent.
