Purpose
You can use this pre-report to generate lists in the subsequent reportthat are sorted according to the country and postal code of the relevantemployee.

The following subsequent reports, for example, are possible:

• RPCEDTD0 (Remuneration statements)


• RPCKTOD0 (Payroll accounts)


• RPCD3MD0 (DETR Messages)


• RPCTXMD0 (Employment tax statements)


• RPCAVAD0 (BAV Value of entitlements)


• and so on

Description
The settings options of a report that uses the logical database PNP (HRmaster data) to determine employee data do not usually include sortingaccording to the postal code of the respective employee.
This pre-report enables this type of sorting as follows:
the addresses of the selected employees are determined
the personnel numbers are sorted (for example by country and postal code
)
the subsequent report is accessed by this sorted personnel number list

Prerequisites
You need a variant for the subsequent report (for example, to restrictemployees to a particular payroll area). However, this variant may nothave a search help.

Features
For multiple address types (permanent residence, temporary residence,and so on), the featureADDRS determinesa sequence in which the employee addresses used for sorting are searchedfor.
The report can also be installed in a Process model of theprocess manager instead of the subsequent report. However, thepersonnel number sorting is only valid for the respective subsequentreport. Additional reports in the process manager must, where necessary,also be replaced by appropriately accessing the pre-report.

Selection
In the Parameters group box, make the necessary settings.

Report Name
Enter the subsequent report whose output is to be sorted according tocountry and postal code (for example, the remuneration statementRPCEDTD0).

Variant Name
Enter a subsequent report variant (for example, for choosing the form inthe remuneration statement) directly, or use the Maintain Variantpushbutton to create a new subsequent report variant.
If you directly enter a variant, all the variants of the subsequent repo
rt to be accessed are available in an input help.
You can also use the Maintain Variant pushbutton to access thesubsequent report (with the selected variant) to look at the additionalvariant data, to maintain to check it.
After ending the subsequent report you return to the pre-report.

Sort Sequence
Sorting by reports that use the logical database PNP is usually inascending order according to personnel numbers or also according to datafrom the Organizational Assignment infotype (PS0001). You can usethis parameter to also use the fields of the Addresses infotype(PS0006) for sorting. You can use the Change pushbutton to changethe sort sequence.
Sorting specified in the subsequent report variant is also taken intoaccount, but only after the sort sequence in the pre-report. Sortingaccording to ascending personnel numbers is always last, even if this isnot specified.
Example:
The pre-report has the sort sequence 'LAND1/PSTLZ' and sorting accordingto employee subgroup is specified in the subsequent report variant. Thelist is then sorted in ascending order according to country, postalcode, employee subgroup and personnel number, in this sequence.

Output Device
For accessing in the batch, the output device is chosen according to theuser profile of the user in which the job was started. You can use thisparameter to override this.

Key Date (Optional)
The address valid on the key date is searched for. If there is no entryin this field, the current date is used (SY-DATUM).

Report Category
You can enter the Report Categorythat is used in theADDRS feature todifferentiate between various subtype sequences for formatting addresses
. The report category name is usually composed of characters 3-6 of therespective report name.
Example:
Remuneration statement RPCEDTD0 => report category CEDT
You can use the Maintain Feature pushbutton to maintain theADDRS feature.
