Purpose
This program is used to transfer awards data from the HR system. Thetransferred data is stored in the Accrual Engine.
Based on this data, provisions can then be calculated and posted forawards. This is done using transaction SOAACT.
Simulations can also be carried out on the basis of the datatransferred. This is done using the simulation mode in the informationsystem (transaction SOAPSITEMS)
We recommend that you transfer data from the HR system periodically inorder to update the data in the Accrual Engine.
When the data is updated, the number of outstanding awards in theAccrual Engine is also updated.
After the data update, the required provisions can be adapted byrestarting transaction SOAACT.
When the outstanding awards are authorized, the change is logged in theAccrual Engine, in order to guarantee transparency with regard to theprovisions.

Prerequisites
