Calculating Cash Advances

An employee can be paid a cash advance of 50 percent of basic salary (CASHADV), which one must pay back in installments over five months.

The calculation rule is Base × Percent:

  • Base is the earning element BASSAL—base salary.

  • Percent is set at the payee level.

The generation control CM GC RSLV ONCE prevents the allowance from being paid more than once if period segmentation occurs. Generation control also ensures that the allowance is paid only once per year.

Note: The CASHADVR deduction with the formula DED FM CASHADVR that calculates 20 percent of the goal amount enables the employee to pay back the cash advance.
