To set up German Public Sector reports, use the Cross Reference (GPS_WFS_MAP) and Meta Mapping (GPS_WFS_META_MAP) components.
This section discusses how to set up German Public Sector reports.

This task includes entering information at the company level and employee level. This information will be pulled from the database and displayed in the Workforce Statistic report as report field values. Tasks are:
Specifying Default Information for Companies for German Public Sector
This task provides values for EF1, EF2 and EF3 report fields for the Workforce Statistic report, as well as the employer number that is needed for the Family Allowance report.
Specifying Municipality Information for German Public Sector Locations
This task provides value for the EF14 report field.
Workforce Statistic / Family Allowance Page
This task provides values for EF20, EF23, EF25 and EF26 report fields.
Make sure that these values are specified properly so that the report source data can all be rendered and displayed on the report file as expected.
Use the Workforce Statistic - Meta Mapping page (GPS_WFS_MAP_META) to set up dynamic configuration for EF10, EF11 and EF12 report fields.
Navigation:
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Workforce Statistic - Meta Mapping page.

Use this page to configure the layout of the mapping pages for report fields (EF10, EF11 and EF12). The system delivers meta mapping for three report fields, all of which need dynamic configuration.
For each report field, select one or more sections to be displayed on their corresponding pages in the Cross Reference component.
For example, if Job Code Map and Grade Map are selected for the EF10 report field, the corresponding sections, Job Code Mapping and Grade Mapping, will be displayed on the EF10 Ratio page.
Use the EF10 Ratio page (GPS_WFS_MAP_RATIO) to specify source and target data mapping for the EF10 report field.
Navigation:
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the EF10 Ratio page for ratio of employment or service contract.

Note: The sections shown on the EF10 Ratio, EF11 Duration and EF12 Employ Type pages are set up in the Meta Mapping page.
Let’s use the setup data of this screenshot as an example.
For employees who either have JC BBC as their job code AND 0001 and B10 as their salary plan and grade, or JC BBC as their job code AND 0019 and A13 as their salary plan and grade, 2 will be displayed as the EF10 report field value for these employees in the Workforce Statistic report. For those who do not meet any of the conditions, their corresponding report field will be empty.
