The document provides an overview of SAP's Personnel Time Management module. It discusses key infotypes and customizing steps for setting up time quotas, work schedules, public holidays, and substitutions. The training agenda covers absence management, CATS, schema modification, and simulated infotypes for viewing employee time and labor data. Screenshots illustrate examples of personnel subarea groupings, employee subgroup groupings, daily work schedules, period work schedules, and generating work schedules manually and through batch processing.

Data stored in clusters, cannot be queried using ad hoc query.
This causes inconvenience as data from Infotype and clusters can
not be viewed together. SAP solves this problem by providing
simulated Infotype.

If the Shift change compensation field is active, the difference
between two levels of remuneration for a substitution can be
adjusted automatically in payroll.
Example: If an employee normally works the night shift and has to
substitute for a colleague on the day shift, he is still paid the rate for
the nightshift (including bonuses).

55. Quest 1 : What are the basic time recording concepts?
Method 1: Record only deviations to the work Schedule/ Negative
Time Recording/ Exceptions:
This method records only employees time data that exceptions or
.
- 55 -
deviations to the work schedule assigned to employees. Here you
can include the most current data, such as Employee illness,
schedule and record substitutions and enter annual leave for
employees.
Method 2: Record Actual times / Positive time recordings.
This method completely records all actual times, that is, all
transactions such as actual working times, absences and so on.
- 55 -

56. Quest 2 : What is Substitution? Mention their types.
A substitution constitutes working time that is different from the
employees planned working time, and/or working time that is paid at
a rate determined for a different position.. Substitutions are planned
exceptions to an employee's work schedule for a defined period of
- 56 -
exceptions to an employee's work schedule for a defined period of
time.
Substitutions are treated as planned specifications in time
evaluation. There are different types such as
1. Time substitutions 2. Day program substitutions
3. Shift substitutions 4. Personnel number substitution
5. Job Number substitution - 56 -

57. Quest 3 : What is availability and types?
Time period during which an employee must be available to perform
any work that arises. It differs from on call duty in that the employee
must actually be at his work center.
- 57 -
You use the availability to specify whether an employee is available
for other work activities if he or she has been assigned this
availability type. IT2004

58. Quest 4 : What is over time?
Overtime represents working time performed in addition to normal
working time as defined by law. The employee is entitled to
appropriate remuneration in addition to his normal wage or salary
(overtime bonus).IT2005
- 58 -
(overtime bonus).IT2005
Time worked in addition to an employee's planned working time as
defined in the employee's contract, collective agreement, or by legal
regulations. Many agreements assume that times recognized as
overtime are first approved internally.

133. Applicability cont..
Earliest accrual date: corresponds to a date on Infotype 0019 – Monitoring
of Dates. For example, if the employee’s accrual should not start until after
they complete a probationary period of time, you can specify the
date/deadline type from IT0019 here.
• Entry date: Specify a period of time for which the rule should be applicable
- 133 -
• Entry date: Specify a period of time for which the rule should be applicable
based on the employee’s entry date. Keep in mind that this date is derived
from the entry date on IT0000. (See section in this document on Feature
HDATE for more details). If entry date is not relevant, leave the fields blank
or use a greater period for the entry date (01/01/1800 - 2/31/9999, for
example).
• Challenge Group/Degree of challenge: specify details on the employee’s
disability, if applicable.

134. Accrual Period
- 134 -
In the Accrual Period section, select one of the following options:
•Daily: Entitlements are calculated daily. This means the base entitlement for
the year is divided by 365 to calculate the daily accrual.
•Month: Period from first day to last day of the month. This means the base
entitlement for the year is divided by 12 to calculate the monthly accrual, and
the accrual takes place at the end of the month.
•Calendar Year: Period of one year, from 01/01/XX to 12/31/XX. This means the
base entitlement for the year is accrued at the end of the calendar year.

135. Accrual Period Cont ..
•Time evaluation period: Period determined in time evaluation, defined in the Determine
time evaluation period step in the IMG. The accrual takes place at the end of the time
evaluation period.
• Payroll period: Period determined in payroll; valid payroll period of the day to be
evaluated of the payroll area of the employee to be evaluated. The accrual takes place
- 135 -
evaluated of the payroll area of the employee to be evaluated. The accrual takes place
at the end of the payroll period.
• Other period: Individually specified period; period parameters are defined in the Define
period parameters step in the IMG. This period is particularly useful if you have irregular
accrual periods that may begin in the middle of the month. The accrual takes place at
the end of the period.
• Rel. to date type: Period is defined in relation to a date type from the Date
Specifications Infotype (0041). You determine the accrual period using the length field
(for example, the date the employee joined the company, with a period of one month.)

If the quota is based on seniority, you must choose one of the following options:
For exact day: This option will use the employee’s entry date from IT0000 as the key
date for determining seniority. This means any change in the employee’s seniority is
taken into account within the accrual period.
Start/End of accrual period: This option will use the employee’s entry date from
IT0000 as the key date for determining seniority. This means any change in the
employee’s seniority is taken into account at the start of the next accrual period.
- 138 -
employee’s seniority is taken into account at the start of the next accrual period.
Start/End of base period: This option will use the employee’s entry date from IT0000
as the key date for determining seniority. This means any change in the employee’s
seniority is taken into account at the start of the next base period.
Date Type: This option will use a specified date on the employee’s IT0041 record as
the key date for determining seniority. This means any change in the employee’s
seniority is taken into account on the date specified in the date type, with the current
year.
Quota entitlements based on age are handled in a very similar manner – the same
fields apply as with seniority.

139. Accrual Entitlement
- 139 -

140. Accrual Entitlement Cont..
Pro rata calculation means in order to determine the appropriate entitlement based on
the period, the accrual period is compared with the base period of the quota type
currently being processed, and a proportionate accrual entitlement is determined. It
means the total base entitlement of the quota type currently being processed is always
used as the basis for the accrual entitlement.
You can also choose to multiply the accrual by a time balance. If you want to generate
the accrual entitlements on the basis of accountable attendance times, enter either a

the accrual entitlements on the basis of accountable attendance times, enter either a
day balance or period balance in the Multiplication by time balance section.
You can use alternative quotas to manage the capping differences that result from
deduction or from the maximum entitlement being exceeded. Determine whether you
want to store the capping differences and assign the applicable quota types.

141. Transfer Time
- 141 -

142. Transfer Time Cont..
In the transfer time section, you must choose one of the following options:
Upon accrual – Whenever the accrual takes place, it is immediately transferred to the
quota.
Per calendar year – The accrual is transferred at the end of the year, on 12/31/XX.
Per time evaluation period – The accrual is transferred at the end of the specified time
- 142 -
Per time evaluation period – The accrual is transferred at the end of the specified time
evaluation period.
Per payroll period – The accrual is transferred at the end of the payroll period.
Other period – An individually defined period; the period parameter is set in the Define
Period Parameters step in Customizing for Payroll.
Date type – A date type from IT0041 can be specified here as the transfer time.
Transfer rule - This field is relevant for Australia and New Zealand only.

143. Total Entitlement
The maximum entitlement specifies the maximum amount that can be
transferred to a quota type.
- 143 -
transferred to a quota type.
For example, if an employee accrues 7 hours during an accrual period
based on their time worked, and this field is set to 6 hours, only 6 hours can
be transferred to the quota.

178. Quest 1: What is time evaluation?
Time evaluation evaluates the attendance and absence times that have
been recorded for or by your employees. The system uses the
results of time evaluation to form time balances and time wage
types, and to update attendance and absence quotas.
- 178 -
types, and to update attendance and absence quotas.
- 178 -

179. Quest 2 : What are time wage types?
A time wage type is a remuneration specification for bonuses, such
as overtime or nighttime bonus, as well as for employees paid by the
hour.
- 179 -
These primary wage types are selected in time evaluation or when
processing time data in payroll accounting. They are used in payroll
accounting to determine gross pay.
- 179 -

180. Quest 3 : How can you generate absence quotas?
After generation rules have been specified, you can use Report
RPTQTA00 to accrual quota entitlement in advance for individual
employees or a group of employees.
- 180 -
If you want to take advantage of time evaluation functions when
generating absence entitlements, without having implemented all of
time evaluation, you can use the standard schema TQTA.
- 180 -

181. Quest 4 : What is the schema TQTA used for?
It is a special schema used for accrual of absence quotas.
- 181 -- 181 -

182. Quest 5 : What are the most important results of time evaluation?
Time Evaluation Results:
Time evaluation determines Overtime and bonus wage types and
automatically takes account of public holidays, weekdays or
conditions on the duration or time of work performed.
Time evaluation enables you to administrate time accounts, which can
be individually defined. If necessary, it can check to ensure that
- 182 -
be individually defined. If necessary, it can check to ensure that
values do not exceed or fall short of value limits.
Overtime, productive hours, absence time and so on.
Flextime balances
Annual working time accounts.
Time evaluation issues messages when specific situations occur, for
example, If working time regulations are not adhered to. Your can
define your own messages for any situation. You can also order time
evaluation to abort if particular errors occur.
