muneration. Since the minimum remuneration relevance now depends on the
employee's person group, the <ZK>Relevance for Min. Remun.</> field is
no longer necessary. This regulation comes into effect when
subapplication BGMS is activated.
If the <ZK>Relevance for Min. Remun.</> field is set to <ZK>Automatic
Determination</>, it is hidden. If it is filled with a different value,
it must first be switched to <ZK>Automatic Determination</>.
