• Key Concepts: 
  Coverage grouping is a feature of the SAP Benefits module (PA-BN) that allows employers to group their benefits plans into categories. This allows employers to easily manage their benefits plans and make changes quickly and efficiently. Coverage grouping also helps employers to better understand the costs associated with each plan, as well as the coverage levels for each plan. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use coverage grouping, employers must first create a coverage group in the SAP Benefits module. This can be done by selecting the “Create Coverage Group” option from the main menu. Once a coverage group has been created, employers can then add plans to the group and assign coverage levels to each plan. Employers can also assign costs to each plan, which will be used to calculate the total cost of the coverage group. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a coverage group, it is important to consider how many plans will be included in the group and what type of coverage levels will be assigned to each plan. It is also important to consider how much each plan will cost, as this will affect the total cost of the coverage group. Additionally, employers should ensure that all plans in the coverage group are compatible with each other, as this will help ensure that all employees are able to access the same benefits.
