How To Plan a UserCalc#

1. Write a detailed description of what the user calculations needs to do.
   
   For example: A UserCalc is required to calculate vacation pay for Groups A, B and D biweekly-paid employees. Vacation is calculated as 4% of the employee's eligible (vactionable) earnings for that regular pay.
   
   
2. Break the description into logical sections. The following questions can help you to do this:
   
   Section 1
   Who must be processed?
   
   Employees with a GROUP - CODE of A, B and D in the lexicon list called Group_List.
   
   Section 2
   What information is necessary for the calculation?
   
   The 4% vacation pay is defined as a Variable or User constant called VACN- RATE. Vacationable earnings are defined as an element called VACN-EARNS containing all qualified Earnings pay components.
   
   Section 3
   What is the calculation?
   
   Multiply VACN-EARNS by VACN- RATE to be paid out in pay component 256 Vac Pay
   
   
3. Create all necessary ‘Components’ needed for the UserCalc
   

Pay Component	IPPC 256	Vac Pay
Pay Element	IPPE	VACN-EARNS
User Constant	IMVR	VACN- RATE Numeric 0.04
Lexicon List	IMLN	Group List
Variables	IMUC	Not needed for this UserCalc
Global Variables	IMUC	Not needed for this UserCalc

1. Code the UserCalc on the Maintain UserCalc Form (IMUC)
