Mass benefits enrollment upon cost change

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
