RHLRIFU0PBS - Reduction in Force Registers
RFUMSV00 - Advance Return for Tax on Sales/Purchases Vendor Master (General Section)This documentation is copyright by SAP AG.
Purpose
In the Federal Government, layoffs are called reductions in force, or RIFs. While the word "RIF" certainly has negative connotations, it also has another side as an objective system that determines how employees may compete to stay in the organization when employment reductions are necessary. The RIF process is focused on the rights of employees to remain when job cuts are made.
The law provides that OPM's RIF regulations must take into account four factors in releasing employees --1) tenure of employment (e.g., type of appointment); (2) veterans' preference; (3) length of service; and (4) performance ratings. The Reduction in Force report generates both the competitive area and level registers which place employees in retention order based on the four factors listed above. Employees are released from the competitive level register in the inverse order of their retention standing.

Features
Selection
The RIF report uses the standard selection screen from the logical database PCH. In order to run the RIF registers, the plan version of the organizational structure and the organizational unit involved in the RIF must be entered as parameters. The reporting period should always be "Today" or a key date, presuming that the date the report is executed is the date of the RIF. The evaluation path is O_S_P, which allows for all the positions and employees within an organizational unit to be evaluated during the RIF processing.
There are additional RIF report settings on the selection screen that allow the user to further specify processing options. These options are described below.
Register Type
The user can choose to run either the master or competitive level register. The master register displays a ranking of all employees in the competitive area using the OPM retention factors. The competitive level register displays a ranking of employees in the competitive area by competitive level using the OPM retention factors.
Competitive Area
The register can be run for a specific competitive area within an organization. The area can be specified using this selection parameter to generate a master or competitive level register consisting of only the positions and employees in the specified competitive area.
Competitive Level
The register can also be run for a specific competitive level. Since the competitive level is a breakdown of levels within a competitive area, the competitive area of that level must also be specified as a parameter.
Show Tenure Group 0 Employees / Vacant Positions
The user also has the option of displaying tenure group 0 employees and vacant positions on the register.
Earliest Appraisal Date
The earliest appraisal date can also be set on the selection screen. This will be the cutoff date for the retrieval of appraisals, any appraisals before this date will not be used for determining an employee's performance credit.
Override SCD (Service Computation Date)
The user has the option to override the service computation date calculated by the RIF report with a date type from Infotype 0041 "Date Specifications". If this option is selected, the date type that is selected will be used to override the service computation date for all employees that have the specified date type in Infotype 0041. This can be used in case the SAP system does not calculate the correct SCD due to special circumstances or the customer wants to use a different SCD for a specific employee.
Absence Type(s) Used for Evaluating Leave Without Pay
The federal rules for calculating the length of service were summarized earlier in this document. The amount of leave without pay directly affects the length of service for an employee. SAP recommends that the customer maintain only one leave without pay absence type for RIF purposes, however if the customer needs to use more than one absence type they can specify the absence type(s) to evaluate using this parameter. Note: If the customer chooses to use different absence types for the evaluation, they must override the standard SAP Calculation Process with new selection rules for each absence type. This parameter is used to help determine whether or not a calculation process needs to be evaluated for an employee. If an employee lacks certain data records his SCD is always the hire date (Ex. New hire).
