What is time management status 7? What is it used for?

Time Management status is the link between time management and payroll w.r.t how an employee's time data should be evaluated in payroll. The feature for this TMSTA.

if you want u give accruals based on time evolution this setting has to be done in infotype 0007 means that person should have this time management status

The time management status 7 is used if there is no Payroll module and more over there is no integration with payroll. the same is maintained in the Feature "TMSTA" and in HR master of IT0007.

It is Basically used to define whether Time evaluation Exists in ur Organization and If so Whether Integration exists with Payroll/not.. The entries are maintained in T555V. All these are standard Entries and recommended not to change those...

Possible values for the Time Management status:

o 0 - No time evaluation
o 1 - Time evaluation of actual times
o 2 - PDC time evaluation
o 7 - Time evaluation without payroll integration
o 8 - External services
o 9 - Time evaluation of planned times

Time mgt status 7 is Time Mgt without payroll integration. we set this status in infotype 7. we generally use schema TQTA without payroll integration.

TQTA schema will accrue only ur absence quotas i.e ur leave quota. This is all regarding the Time Mgt status 7, i think this will give u a idea.

What is positive and negative Time management?
Positive Time Management is when an employee has to "Clock-in and Clock-out" each day. There must be a time entry or absence entry for every scheduled work day.

Negative Time Management is when an employee only has to record absences or "variations" to the work schedule - works overtime, works other than regular scheduled hours, vacation, jury duty, funeral leave, etc.

Hourly employees - those paid for each hour worked usually use positive time recording, Salaried employees, paid regular amounts regardless of time worked usually use negative time recording.

The details are as follows :
2 Mechanisms of time recording are available
Positive time recording – Actual times are recorded
This method completely records all actual times, that is, all transactions such as actual working times, absences, and so on.
Negative time recording – Deviations from a work schedule are recorded
Recording Only Deviations to Work Schedules
This method records only employee time data that represents exceptions or deviations to the work schedule assigned to employees. Here you can include the most current data, such as employee illnesses, schedule and record substitutions, and enter annual leave for employees.

SAP provides various Info types for time recording purposes.
All above explanations are correct, however to simplify :
In Positive time, where you need to maintain all in time out time either through Time Recorder or some time it is uploaded after maintaining manually.

Example:
When you record in time as 8.30 am and out time as 19.30 pm. against your DWS 8.30 am to 16.30 pm. applicable on that day, the additional 3 hrs automatically gets into Overtime...whereas if you don't record your in time or out time any day against your X planned working hours in DWS, it means its your absent that day.
Whereas in negative time: You maintain these additional 3 hrs in Overtime Infotype. and absence in 2001 infotype for that pernr.

What is the process of +ve time management, which are all nodes we have to configure, can any body do let me know the process

Config IT 50 and 2011....
and check connections with time recording machines
Give time management status in infotype 0007 as '1'.

An employee with personnel no from an our unit, is appearing in the shift planning, even though the data in the IT 0007 "employee time management status" is "no time evaluation".

Check with different options available in "Time Mgmt status" in IT0007
I am not clear with your reply.The problem is time mgmt status in IT 0007 for this particular pers no is Zero i.e "No time eval", but still this pers.no appears in shift planning.

Is there any Difference between Time Management and Time Evaluation? if yes, then what is it? I guess there's no diff, time evaluation is a report..

Time management can be divided into 3 steps

1. Time Recording
2.Time Evaluation
3. Planning

Time Evaluation:
The recorded time data is grouped and converted to wage types which can be used by payroll for compensation. SAP provides a time evaluation program RPTIME00 for this purpose.
Standard schemas TM00 and TM04 are used for evaluation of time data got from positive and negative time recording approaches.

time evaluation program RPTIME00 also calculates accrual and entitlement for employees
Time Evaluation is accessing or evaluating the of an employee on a daily basis.
The time schema TM04, TM00 is read on daily basis for each and every employee.
and what ever the Time Wage types formed during time evaluation are transferred to payroll thru ZL table, if there is any Time - Payroll integration is there.

I am currently working in a UK implementation on Time management. There are certain statutory absences for UK like SSP, SMP, SAP and SPP. In the system there are already standard entries for all of these. But there is some things called the Occupational leave types , these are OxP leaves.

My question is do we have to create separate absence types for the OxP leave types or the same absence can be used.

In time management do we have county specific absences, i thing some body might have created the same. always you can created the new absence type see whether it is meeting to your requirement or not, then see base entitlement, deduction rule and counting rule for the same

If the company uses TIME RECORDING MACHINE for recording time events, then where it is going to update whether in INFOTYPE of some where else.

Its done using uploading the time data via time event infotype 2011:

In external time recording systems, the time events (such as clock-in/clock-out times) are recorded and then checked against the data downloaded from the SAP system. The data recorded is then uploaded to Time Management in the Personnel Time Events infotype (2011). The time events can be processed further to determine attendance/absence durations.

If the company is using the positive time management, the time pairs(in-out) will be recorded in the 2011 infotype.But you should have well defined interfaces which send the time to SAP.

If your company is using the Negative Time management, then attendances will go to 2002 and any deviations will go to the absences infotype.

I faced one question that the client is not implementing Payroll and it is running by third party at the time what is the use of time management and how can we integrate time management to other payroll.

Pl take a look at the Interface Toolbox for HR ie TCode PU12.

The use of time management is off course not only to feed the payroll! Time Evaluation will calculate and accrue your absence/attendance quotas, process all deductions, additions and transfer from all time infotypes and adjust the quotas accordingly. And then there's TMW time managers workplace, CATS,... so there's more in live then payroll.

[welcomewiki]

What is accrual period?
Accrual period is the period in which you need to accumulate the quota. It depends on the client.

There are various methods available for granting absence entitlements to employees:

1.By manually recording absence entitlements in the Absence Quotas infotype (2006), where absence entitlement is granted to employees individually based on special criteria
2.By setting default values for entitlements when creating records in the Absence Quotas infotype (2006)
3.By automatically accruing absence entitlements. The entitlement determined has to be changed only in exceptional cases.

An addition, two methods are available to automatically accrue time-off credits: The method used for accruing absence entitlements depends upon whether absence entitlement is granted in a lump sum in advance or proportionately after a calculation period has been completed. Where absence entitlement is granted in its entirety in advance, the total entitlement for a subsequent period (such as a calendar year) is accrued at one time in advance. The entitlement is immediately available in the Absence Quotas infotype (2006). The system can calculate the entitlement on the basis of the employee's HR master data, such as age or seniority. If you use time evaluation, you can take account of completed time data from past periods. You must specify for all quota types whether they are to be accrued automatically using time evaluation, or manually, or using the report RPTQTA00 (Generate
Absence Quotas).

What is the Counting rule in Time Management? After uploading of leave i am getting error Counting class of period work schedule not available on some specific date.

Counting Classes are used to define your various Counting rules for your A/A types. You need to define counting rule for each absence type. You can do it through SPRO

TM->TM data Recording & admn->Absence->Define Absence Counting Rule.
Table - T556C.

You have to define Counting Class on this node:

TM-->TM data recording-->Absences catalogue-->Absence counting -->Define Counting classes for Period Work schedule

Counting Rule is different and not related to error which you are getting.
Counting rule defines the rule for counting the attendances / absences.
T556 takes into account: Conditions for the current day, Conditions for work schedule, Condition for planned hours, Condition for absence / attendance, Counting and Deduction rule.

Under Condition for work schedule, you can define Counting class for PWS and DWS class. You need to define a suitable counting class to period work schedule before using it here in this table.

Plz tell me the schema we use in Time management and payroll. tell me the what is the exact use of this rules.

ANS:1 Payroll schema is K000, Time management should be a copy of TM00 or TM04, so you can adapt it to your own need. About the use of rules and schema, you should refer to the standard SAP documentation to get started, It is hard to answer such a generic question.

ANS: 2 US Payroll schema is U000, Time schema can be TM04, TM00, TQTA
PCR's are used for specific functions which needed to be carried out for running payroll and time requirements.

We are implementing Positive Time Management. We are very new in this area and facing some issues in Positive Time Management. We configured Work schedules and Absence types and Quotas.

1. Work Schedules : All Breaks are unpaid breaks, there is no Tolerance Time and All are salaried employees.
We are going to take attendance from Time Recording Terminals. ( like Employee Clock in and Clock Out )

2. Leave Management : We configured all leave types and Quotas.
Note : The problem is we have to do the Time evaluation. When i run the RPTIME00 Report with the help of TM00 Schema. It is showing Error. There is no entry in T549Q( Payroll Periods) I maintained that table also. Later it is Showing . KNTAG K Determine indicator for core night work. It showing this error also.

You need to update the table T510s, and you have to define the processing types,
We should not use the direct Schema TM00, but we have to copy the schema to our Schema (e.g., XM00) and you need to modify the function QUOTA and DAYMO functions and try the evaluation, then you will get the expected results. If you are clear with this or if you are not getting the solution, pls let me know, so that i can help you more.

Q. Based on you inputs i run the Time Evaluation (TM00) and it is working fine (such as " Absences, Absence quotas, Clock in and Clock out entires, Substitutions are effecting). But it is not calculating Overtime.

Here we are capturing the Actual clock in/out's. My requirement is when i maintain the clock in/out in Time Events (2011) then the overtime should get calculated automatically when i run the Time Evaluation.

Now when i run Time Evaluation in Overtime it is showing as "0".

Example:
Shift St Timne : 09:00 End TIme : 17:00
Actual Clock in : 09:00 Clock Out: 19:30
------------------------------------------------------------
Overtime : 02:30
Overtime Rate : Double
I have configured One Attendance type, Counting rule and assined that couning rule to Attendance type. Later I maintained Time types( T555A), Time type determination (T555Z) and Time type processing (l T555Y) and i activated Schema TW15 and Rules TO01 and TO02.

Could some help on the infotypes and tables which are used in negative time management?

The time infotypes which are used for Time Management are as follows:

1. 2001 -> Absence Infotype
2. 2006 -> Absence Quota type Infotype
3. 2002 -> Attendance Infotype
4. 2007 -> Attendance Quota Type Infotype

For negative time management, tou need to specift TIME MANAGEMENT STATUS as '9' in infotype '0007' i.e, Planned working time of your employee.

Could u give the general definition of the below mentionad
1. Time types
2. Taime pairs
3. Time wagetypes
4. Time balances (Day balance, Period balance

Process Flow for SAP Time Evaluation
To the world of a time data-entry person or anyone not thoroughly familiar with SAP's time processing, time management would seem like a simple process. You enter an absence or attendance, give it some hours, and payroll magically spits out a paycheck. Right? Unfortunately, it's not as simple as that. While not everyone in your company needs to know the ins and outs of time evaluation, it is beneficial to have some basic knowledge of the process flow when errors occur or your company adds additional functionality.

There are actually several phases that an attendance goes through before it reaches payroll. When an attendance is entered through IT2002, it is given at least an attendance type and number of hours, yet could contain a range of clock times, premium indicators, cost assignment, or a variety of other information. This alone is not enough information to create a time wage type however.

When time evaluation begins it's processing of an attendance it first has to load the attendance into the time type table (TIP). Function P2002 takes the data from IT2002 and creates time pairs for the day. A time pair can consist of several pieces of data.

The start and end times of the attendance. If none are specified, they are assigned based on the start of the daily work schedule rule and the number of attendance hours plus any breaks.

Pair type/attendance status. The pair type is assigned based on the function that loads the time pair into the schema. Pair type 1 is designated if the attendances have been imported through time recording terminals (P2011) or generated on the basis on the daily work schedule (P2000). Pair type 2 is used if the pair types come from absences (P2002). And pair type 3 is used if, like in our example, the pair types come from attendances (P2002).

Processing type/time type class. Each absence and attendance has a processing type/time type class assigned to it via V_554S_F that will aid in the creation of time types and processing types.

Time event types. Time event types for the beginning time and end times of the time pairs if time events are utilized (IT2011). Example: clock-in, clock-out.

Attendance/Absence reasons.
ALP splits. Alternative payment splits such as substitutions or premiums are loaded into the time pair.
Cost splits. Assignment to differing cost centers is split out in the time pairs in table TIP.
OT and absence pointers.
Number of hours for each time pair.

The next stage in time evaluation will create a time type and processing type for each time pair entry in the TIP. Function TYPES reads the time pairs and references them with customer-defined settings in T555Y and the modifier set by MODIF T to create the time types and processing types. Function TYPES along with T555Y use the following inputs to create time types for each

Personnel Subarea grouping for time recording associated with the personnel number.

Time type determination group set by function MOD, MODIF T =.
Processing type/time type class associated to the time type as assigned by the attendance type from V_554S_F.
Pair type/attendance status assigned to the time pair.

All of these inputs are referenced against T555Y and a processing type (i.e. S = planned work, M = overtime) and time type are generated and stored in table TIP.

The next phase in time evaluation involves setting the day modifier for time wage type generation. This is either done by setting MODIF D= or using the function DAYMO. DAYMO provides more flexibility as it allows you to set the modifier for four day conditions: not a public holiday - MON-SAT, not a public holiday - SUN, public holiday - MON-SAT, public holiday SUN.

Now the time types are ready to become wage types. The standard SAP method for converting time types to wage types is through the Time Wage Type Selection Table, T510S. The table is called using function GWT, generate wage types. GWT can be called for specific processing classes and the outputs can be stored in either the daily time wage types table, DZL, or the daily overtime wage types table, ZML. Table T510S can seem complicated to read but it allows for a very flexible method of time wage type generation in a variety of circumstances. There are several inputs to the table which define criteria for time wage type generation.

The time wage type selection rule group as set by MODIF W=
The day grouping as set by MODIF D= or DAYMO
These two criteria define a time wage type determination rule. The rule is made up of multiple table settings.
Up to four valid processing classes (S = planned time, etc.) are available per rule.
The days of the week, M-F, in which the rule is active.
The public holiday class of the previous day.
The public holiday class of the current day.
The public holiday class of the next day.
The daily work schedule class (working day, off days, etc.)
Specific day types for the wage type to be generated.
You can define time range during which the wage type can be generated (i.e. 19:00 - 30:00 for shift differential)

A fixed number of hours to store in the generated wage type.
When this is completed, the newly generated wage types are stored in either table DZL or ZML. The time wage type contain the following information.
Date of the attendance.
Start and end times of the attendance.
The wage type.
The information type. This is similar to the processing class associated with time types (M = overtime). · Alternative payment splits. These are created by premium indicators or shift substitutions.
Cost center splits.
Absence pointers.
Number of hours.
The time wage types will now become inputs to payroll processing when they are imported into the country-specific payroll driver (RPCALCU0 for the US, for example).

Could someone help on activities of Year end process of Time Management?

The activities of year end on Time Management depend upon the configuration and settings have been done for your organization. When you upload the new patches for year end process, you have to retest all the Business processes for Time Management of your system.

Few other activities are as:
1. Configuration of Public holiday calendar for next year
2. Approve & Transfer all the time for current year if you have year end closer for FI module
3. Generate Work Schedule rule for next year
4. Update your quota

ANS: don't know if you would like to term it as an Year-end process..I would add the Vacation Carryover (accrual of leave balances) to the list.. at most places, the carryover is done during Jan & any accruals/payouts etc need to be attended to...

Can anyone tell, If I want to add Maternity leave then how to create eligibility for infotype? Please explain the steps also.

In Img you can set the eligibility criteria for Maternity leave under the Special Absence Data

In IMG under
Time Management -> Time Data Recording and Administration -> Absences -> Special Absence Data -> Maternity Protection -> Set eligibility for Infotype.
or You can maintain Feature 'MA***' in PE03.

In this step, you can determine whether records of the Maternity Protection infotype (0080) can be created for women only or for men and women alike.
Example Men are not entitled to parental leave in your country. You therefore want to ensure that records of Maternity Protection infotype cannot be created accidentally for a man.

My doubt is which value I have to assign under Molga.
The return value for the feature can be one of the following:
o 0 - allowed for female and male employees
o 1 - allowed for female employees only
o 2 - allowed for male employees only

In the feature MA*** we are assigning 1 for female.But in the special absence data for rule of maternity table the options given by SAP are 1 for male and 2 for female. Why its like that?

In the rule table, it is Gender Key. But in the feature MA***, it is the standard return value.

In the rule of maternity table, it is either male or female i.e. Gender.

In the MA*** feature, the return values are:
1: female only
2: male only
You should use below values for MA***:
o 0 - allowed for female and male employees
o 1 - allowed for female employees only
o 2 - allowed for male employees only

Which means that 1 for femal employees. The rule table has nothing to do with this option (1 for female only or 2 for male only). This return code (1 for female only or 2 for male only) is used for determining eligibility criterion.

How do we configure the following 2 scenarios:

(1) Period work schedule for 2nd and Last Saturday Off and all Sundays Off.
(2) Period work schedule for 2nd and 4th Saturday Off and all Sundays Off.

ANS:1 Same solution is there for both of your threads.

All Sundays off : Create a daily work schedule OFF with planned working hours 0. and assign the same in period work schedule in the last field as it denotes Sunday.

2nd Saturday off : Go to Public Holiday Calendar in time management work schedules

Then create public holiday
Select " With a fixed day from date ".
Select Saturday
Enter "8" in day field.
Enter "1" in month field.
Save the Holiday.
Assign the holiday to the holiday calendar.
Assign the holiday Calendar to Factory Calendar.

In Factory Calendar, tick all the days except Sunday.

Go to display calendar.
It will display the second saturday as off in your calendar for January Month.
If you want to create for all the months, repeat the above process by giving 2,3,4,5,6........12 in the month field.
So that it will show all second saturdays as offs in your calendar.
4th or Last Saturday :

Repeat the above process by giving 21 in the day field and month numbers in the month field.

Another process is also there with the help of "Special days" concept. But the result will be the same.

Thats why go ahead with the above process.
100% you will get the solution.

We have 3 shifts :
8:00 --> 16:00
16:00 --> 00:00
00:00 --> 8:00

However im facing a problem in the third shift if the employee clocks in at 23:55

his tip entries are processed in the previous day under processing type M (overtime), while he is considered absent in the following day.
Note this does not happen if the employee clocks in at 00:00. what should be done in those cases

Did you try using the "Previous Day Indicator" in table V_T550P?
Im not using break schedules, our work schedules have no breaks assigned to it.
check in the 2002 Infotype if previous day indicator is checked ?

What is Attendance & Absences Quota?

Absence Quota:
An employee's entitlement to a certain absence. The quota has a limited validity period, and is reduced by each recorded absence. Attendance Quota: Determines an employee's time-restricted entitlement to certain attendances. One such example is overtime approval. Recording an attendance of this type reduces an employee's entitlement

[welcomewiki]

What is Substitutions?

A substitution is employee working time that deviates from planned working time and/or is paid at a different rate because the employee works at an alternative position. Substitutions allow short-term deviations to personal work schedules, as well as different payment for an employee, to be recorded in the system. Substitutions can be set up regardless of whether the absent person is actually being replaced or substituted for temporarily.

How do we record a Overtime?

Overtime approvals can restrict the amount and the exact point in time when working time is recognized as "overtime." The type and amount of overtime compensation also depends upon this criteria. The normal working time of an employee is used to determine overtime. Normal working time can also be calculated according to the specific time periods used to perform weekly or monthly overtime calculation analyses.

Our client is going for a +ve time management with no time evaluation....if this is the case.... what time mgmt status i have to propose...

My question is they are going for positive time management without time evalution and what status can i propose can i sugest 1 or 0..... what about status 9?? i know status 9 shoud be used only if we using -ve time mgmt... can i use this status 9 when client is going for a positive time management...

For positive Time Management without the time evalution,Status should be 0.This time status is only related to time evalution.I mean how the employee to be evaluated.You cannot use status 9 for an hourly employee.

Please suggest status 0.
Do not use / suggest status 9.

Though they going for a no evaluation i know i have suggest 0 ...what implication it will do if i suggest 1 or 9..compare to 1 and 9 status i will suggest 1 becoz ..as per sap definition 1 is for time evaluation with clock time actual time...

TM status 0 stands for no time evaluation.

1 stands for TE with actual timings.That means for +ve time recording.That is for hourly employees.Because for hourly employees,the actual times are recorded.
TM Status 9 stands for the salaried employees,ie for -ve time recording.

TM status should be specified in infotype 7(planned working time) in the employee master data so for an hourly employee the TM status should be 1 and 9 for a salried employee.

This TM status can also be defaulted for the employees using the feature TMSTA.

Can anybody tell me what the time evaluation do? it puzzled me for a long time. We use negative time recording, recording absence in 2001 and overtime in 2005. I don't know if i should use time evaluation.In infotype 0007,i set time management status 0,1,7,9, all can run payroll correct.I don't know what is the relationship of payroll and time management, and how time management status influence payroll. can anybody emplain me what the time evaluation do? how time evaluation, time management status and payroll work ? what's the difference recording overtime in 2002 and 2005.

ANS:1 Time evaluation is used to evaluate the recorded time datas. To run time evaluation, you need three basic information like Master Record, Attendances & Absences, Planned Working Time and there are four possible outputs after the Time evaluation: Time Wage types, Time Accounts, Messages, Updated Absence Quotas.
So, we need to run the time evaluation to get these output, which will be processed in the Payroll to get the payments. Time evaluation is based on your Time Schema, which is the step by step sequence of your functions.

There are two options to valuate the recorded time, either using Time evaluation driver RPTIME00 or in Payroll driver RPCALCx0.

Time Management status, determine the type of time management you are following like Positive TM, Negative TM, Without integration with Payroll.

Positive Time management is recording all Clock in's and clock out's and Negative Time Management is recording only deviations.

My Question is what are the Infotypes maintained in Positive Time Mgt and what are the Infotypes maintained in Negative Time Mgt, what are the main config changes that has to be made to activate either Positive or Negative Time recording for a company using these Schemas and also in SPRO.

Also what is the significance of the Time Schemas TM00 and TM04 in this regard, is there any specification that either TM00 or TM04 is used specifically for Positive or else specifically for Negative recording, which schema is used for which type of recording.

ANS: 1 Schemas are specific Positive TM00, Negative TM04, Infotypes used 2000, 2001 , 2003, 2050, for time infotype are same for the Positive and negative

ANS:2 for positive time management you need to maintain the time pairs/ events and some tables to define your time evaluation, also maintain 1 in the IT0007
Important Tables need to maintain:
V_T510S - TIME WT SELECTION RULES
V_T510H - PAYROLL CONSTANTS
T554S - ATTENDANCE AND ABSENCE TYPES
V_T55DH - EVALUATION TYPE FOR ATTENDANCES/ABSENCES
V_T554R - DAY RULES
V_T555A - TIME TYPES


Time Schemas:
1. TM00 - Time Evaluation with Personnel Time Events
2. TM01 - Time Evaluation for Work schedule deviation
3. TM02 - Time Evaluation for External services management
4. TM04 - Time Evaluation with-out clock times

ANS:3 For both the negative and positive time management, we need to mainatain infotypes 2001, 2006, 2002, 2007.

The configuration that you need to set is, in the infotype 0007, i.e, planned working time, tou need to maintain time management status as '1' for positive time management and '9' for negative time management.

The "Time Management status" indicator in the Planned Working Time infotype (0007) shows whether all actual times are recorded for an employee, or only exceptions to the planned specifications.
Regarding the schemas :

Time Schemas:

1. TM00 - Time Evaluation with Personnel Time Events
2. TM01 - Time Evaluation for Work schedule deviation
3. TM02 - Time Evaluation for External services management
4. TM04 - Time Evaluation with-out clock times

[welcomewiki]

TM00 : Schema TM00 is based on positive recording of time data, that is, recording all times that count as working time (actual times).



Schema TM00 only evaluates time data with clock times (or full-day records). The main task of schema TM00 is to classify the actual times by comparing them to the planned specifications in the daily work schedule (start and end of planned working time, core times, breaks, and so on).

[welcomewiki]

TM04 : You can use schema TM04 to process attendances and absences that specify a number of hours only, rather than concrete start and end times.

The times stipulated in the daily work schedule are not relevant. Only specifications such as planned hours and minimum daily working time are evaluated from the daily work schedule. TM04 caters both for negative time recording (recording of exceptions to the work schedule) and positive time recording (recording all attendances or actual times).

[welcomewiki]

TM01

Schema TM01 is a standard schema used to evaluate the time data of employees for whom only deviations from the work schedule are recorded.
Schema TM01 is based on the following requirements and objectives:
Schema TM01 forms time balances, time wage types and time quotas. It is processed using the time evaluation report RPTIME00.

The schema imports and processes time data that has been entered online.
It was developed for evaluation of time data which represent only the exceptions to the work schedule. In this case, the times (actual times) which are not part of working time are recorded.

Time data must be entered as clock times and must be full-day records.
The valuation basis for time evaluation is a planned time pair which is generated according to the specifications in the employee’s personal work schedule. The planned time pairs generally correspond to the actual working time. Only attendances and absences entered in infotypes 2002 and 2001 respectively can cause the planned and actual values to differ.

Schema TM01 automatically generates overtime for all recorded attendance times that are outside of the planned working times specified in the daily work schedule. If overtime is entered in the relevant infotype (2005), overtime hours can be approved taking into account overtime breaks.

[welcomewiki]

TM02

The standard schema TM02 is a minimized version with the required functions to generate wage types for evaluating time data for external service providers. The schema is specifically modified to include the requirements for evaluating external services.

The characteristics that differentiate schema TM02 from the other standard schemas are highlighted in the following section. As a result, you should already understand the concept behind the Time Evaluation report (RPTIME00) and schema TM00. For more information, see Time Evaluation.

[welcomewiki]

Evaluate External Employees
The CHECK - SRV function ensures that only employees who are assigned to Time Management status 8 (External Services) in the Planned Working Time infotype (0007) are included in accounting process.

Set Up Wage Types
No balances are determined in schema TM02. Instead, the focus is on setting up the wage types that are to be transferred to Materials Management (MM-SRV).
Integrate the functions for balance formation, if you want to form balances. This makes sense if, for example, you want to set up a compensation account for external employees. Use the standard schemas TM00 or TM01 as your guide.

Evaluate on Hourly Basis
If you do not want to record the clock-in and clock-out times for external employees, you only need to record and evaluate the attendance hours for external employees. You can use the new TYPES function to evaluate time data recorded without clock times.
Use the standard schema TM04 as a guide for modifying the schema TM02 if you want to record time data without clock times for account assignments of external services.

[welcomewiki]

The standard time management info types are:

0007 - Work schedule rule (planned work time)
2001 - Absences
2002 - Attendances
2003 - Substitutions
2004 - Availability (eg. Standby/Oncall)
2005 - Overtime
2006 - Absence quota types
2007 - Attendance quota types (use this also for overtime for positive employees)
2011 - Time Events (viewing of clocking times)
0050 - Time Recording infotype (for employees that you want clock times for)
2012 - Time transfer specifications (can use this for leave uploads)
2013 - Quota corrections

How can i remove a wage type (House Allowance) in infotype 14 from the amount calculated for for time quota compensation wage type in infotype 0416?

ANS:1 IMG path:
Time Management - Time Data Recording and Administration - Managing Time Accounts Using Attendance/Absence Quotas - Processing Absence Quotas in Payroll - Time Quota Compensation

In the node 'Define Time Quota Compensation Methods', i have checked against our key {ESG PSG Comp. method} and surprisingly, the rule field is blank. How is it being valuated then?? Wonder if it's defined in payroll rules?
i got that in view V_T554C wage type /841 is entered for 'Valuation using constants or averages'.
Where do i specify that in /841, transport allowance is excluded?

Check in the rule XPPF. This is where partial period factoring is done.
Factoring is not what i need. I need to exclude some wage types from the calculation of 'time quota compensation'.
Check the Processing Class 1 for House Allowance Wage type. Give '0' in the specification

The client I am working for has a Thursday Off

However Maintenance workers have a staggering off,i.e they work on Thursdays & take some other day as weekly off. My first issue is that if by some chance he takes an off on Thursday,we are unable to mark him as Absent ass the system shows that the person can't be marked absent on a day off.

Secondly i need to configure the system in such a way that only for maintenance workers provision is there to remain absent on thursday & take a weekly off anytime else.

ANS:1 Have created different PWS for your maintenance workers(MW) .Assign the OFF day on the exact Off day for your MW.

I have created a different worjk schedule rule for these workers as they have no fixed weekly off

Now they are able to apply for off on Thursdays. But one more issue is that their weekly off is not paid so number of month days should appear as 26 or 25,but it appears as 30 or 31. How do I go about for this one

ANS:2 The weekly off is fixed on Thursday or not, i think u want to use shift plan for this one it wil be more effective

ANS:3 Have you checked your Day type assignment
1. Checout DWS - Rules for varient - or create for Thursday
2. Assign this to ur Spl Thursday off
If these two were not working you can try with define spl days every week.

ANS:4 Assign the appropriate daytypes so that the person is not paid for those days.

The current scenario is that in Maintenance department has a staggering off & he can take off on any day. He is thus paid for 26 or 27 days depending on the number of weekly offs he takes that month.


Thus if he works for 26/27 days,he gets an attendance bonus of Rs. 100. If he is absent for 1 day,he gets Rs. 75,& rs. 50 for 2 days absenteeism & nothing if absent for more than two days.

The work schedule rule attached to them is All day General Shift since they can take weekly off whenever they want. Now the problem which is happeing is that the payslip shows Total month days as 30/31 instead of 26(due to workschedule rule All Day genaral Shift attached). We cannot change the work schedule rule else if he is absent on Thursday,we are not able to mark him absent as system throws error message. So we have kept All day General shift as work schedule. Moreover the system also considers the weekly offs as absent days & so he does not get attendance bonus i.e it shows total days 30 absent days 4(these are the weekly offs) So no attendance bonus gets paid.

Alternatively the situation should be that the system should show his total days as 26/27 instead of 30/31 & if he doesn't take an off for more than two days,he should get attendance bonus.Also the system should be able to mark him absent on Thursday which is weekly off for others.

This has to be done only for Maintenance Department
83. I have a Vacation quota 40 which has a balance of 32 hrs. Employee takes a deduction from the Quota 16 hrs this week and I am writing the balance of the Quota into wage type 4610. Here is the rule I have written HRS=FR40F, ADDDB 4610. The result in 4610 still shows 32 hrs instead of balance 16 hrs.
try HRS=FR40C

How can we integrate Time Management with Benefits is there any link to integrate it?

ANS:1 there is no integration between benefits and time management but there is intergration between payroll and benefits

ANS:2 I know Payroll integration with Benefits, actually iam working for UK Benefits in this Holiday Buy/sell plan Enroll ment should updates Infotype 2006 but for me it is not updating.so pl. suggest me is there any config setting for this

ANS:3 Holiday Buying/Selling
Use: In the UK, it is common practice that full time employees receive a minimum of 20 days holiday each year (including 8 public holidays). In most cases, the employer offers more than 20 days and may increase the number of days according to years of service up to a definable maximum level.



With Flexible Benefits, employees who are eligible can enroll their holiday plan, to buy more or sell some of their holiday entitlement within a definable maximum number of days.



As the employer, you provide standard holiday entitlement which is maintained in Customizing and will be pre-enrolled as a standard benefit in the Flexible Benefits system before employees make their selections during enrollment.


Integration
Holiday plans are integrated with the Absence Quotas infotype (2006) and the Miscellaneous Plans infotype (0377).


Prerequisites
As the employer, you need to maintain the employee's holiday quota in the Absence Quotas infotype (2006) before the actual enrollments in Flexible Benefits system.
An employee's individual absence entitlement is based on your Customizing settings. Usually, there are two types of time units for absence quota: by day or by hour. If the employee's absence quota time unit is by day, which is maintained in the infotype 2006, they can only buy or sell holiday in days and vice versa.


Features
· Besides maintaining the infotype 2006, you must also define any limitations for holiday buying and selling in Customizing, before setting up the actual enrollments of holiday plan, such as:
¡ Maximum number of holidays the employee can buy
¡ Maximum number of holidays the employee can sell
¡ Maximum value of holiday quota the employee is entitled to
¡ Minimum value of holiday quota the employee is entitled to
· Then, the employee enrolls themselves for the holiday plan options they are entitled to with the transaction HRFBN0001.
· Once the employee finishes the enrollment, their leave quota in the infotype 2006 will be updated, and their option will automatically be saved in the infotype 0377.
In some cases, in order to keep the original leave quota, the HR administrator can maintain a “dummy” quota type with the same quota number as the original leave quota before the enrollment period opens. This “dummy” quota will not be used by the flexible benefits system, but only as a reference for the employee.


Example
One organization implements No Additional Funding Scheme and has implemented NI cost neutrality with the Class 1A NI contributions rate 12.8% for the tax year 2003-2004. This percentage of Class 1A NI contribution rate is defined in Customizing to suit your requirement. To calculate the cost of holiday buying/selling,
§ for the time unit “by day”, holiday cost per day = pre-flex salary / annual working days.

§ for the time unit “by hour”, holiday cost per hour = pre-flex salary / factor (factor = 52 * weekly working hours).
· An employee who has a basic salary of GBP 60,000 and is entitled to 20 days holiday as standard, buys 5 days, then pays GBP 85.24 for the option.
EE’s annual pre-flex salary
GBP 60,000
EE’s entitled holidays
20 days
Pre-enrollment holiday value for 20 days
60,000 / 260 * 20 / 12 = GBP 384.62 per month
Post-enrollment holiday value for 25 days
60,000 / 260 * 25 / 12 = GBP 480.77 per month
Value of adjustment before NI Cost Neutrality
- GBP 96.15
Value of NI cost neutrality
96.15 – (96.15 / (1 + 12.8%)) = GBP 10.91
Value paid by the EE
-96.15 + 10.91 = - GBP 85.24
In this example, the employee has overspent his holiday plan and bought more days, normally, he would be deducted GBP 96.15; due to cost neutrality, the employer will pay less National Insurance. Therefore, an adjustment of GBP 10.91, only GBP 85.24 is deducted from the employee.
· An employee who has a basic salary of GBP 70,000 and is entitled to 25 days holiday as standard, sells 5 days, and eventually the employee is paid GBP 99.45 for the option.
EE’s annual pre-flex salary
GBP 70,000
EE’s entitled holidays
25 days
Pre-enrollment holiday value for 25 days
70,000 / 260 * 25 / 12 = GBP 560.90 per month
Post-enrollment holiday value for 20 days
70,000 / 260 * 20 / 12 = GBP 448.72 per month
Value of adjustment before NI Cost Neutrality
GBP 112,18
Value of NI cost neutrality
112.18 – (112.18 / (1 + 12.8%)) = GBP 12.73
Value paid to the EE
112.18 – 12.73 = GBP 99.45
In this example, the employee sells holiday, and as a result the employer will pay more National Insurance. Due to cost neutrality, the increase in National Insurance is deducted from the amount paid to the employee. The employee will therefore receive a reduced amount GBP 99.45, instead of GBP 112.18.

I have configured time management where the employee clock in and clock out are up loaded in to 2011. But after up loading time events what happens can any one please me some inputs,

ANS:1 I had done a payroll with out time management (status =0) but it had a basic time management where the payroll driver reads IT 2001 and imports the values as absences for LWPs for factoring.( a negetive time management,where TC00 in schema TC00 is commented)
As Tmgmt status =9, I think from IT 2011 it will defenitely check with yr all time management config whlie running payroll for the subschema INN1 (gross to net calculation)

I have configured time management where the clock in and clock out will sit in 2011 and after that we will run TM04 absence quota will get defaulted, but when we run report the report is not showing attendance . if we have maintained 2002, it is not showing for other days

ANS:2 If you want IT 2002 to get updated, create a PCR for your requirement in schema TM04, here you can default the limit for attendence days. Hence whatever data you are maintaining in IT 2002 & 2007, will get updated automatically

ANS:3 You have to check the Time Evaluation using the Transaction Code
PT60, There the time pairs should be updated in the output table DZL.That is the Final output for your Timings ( especially Time wage type related )

Can an employee be assigned to more than one work schedule rule??


Eg: emp A has to come in night shift (NSHFT) for 4 days in 1 week, Late shift (LTSHFT) for 6 days in 2nd week Morning shift (MGSHFT) for 4 days in 3rd week, Regular (RGSHFT) for 3 days in 4rth week.
So even if i create 4 week period work schedule, the days do NOT match WEEK....as per periodic work schedule ie 1st WEEK, 2nd WEEK etc. so, can i have 4 periodic work sch and then create 4 Work schdules for that employee?? how will i use SCHKZ??

ANS:1 Just check this way
While creating Periodic work schedule, call the Work schedules accordingly, for each week.



Define how work schedule should be for each day and for 4 weeks, Call the same periodic workschedule in Daily workschedule Rule.(U have created only one periodic ws) And while giving the ref date( Ex 01.01.2007) for pws, check the start point of pws correctly.(If it is monday-1) so with one
work schedule rule, all the different shifts can be maintained.

ANS:2 Assuming that the otrher days apart from mentined in the post are days off...
1st u need to create the following daily work schedules.. NSHIFT,LTSHFT,MGSHFT,RGSHFT...



In Period work schedule u will define the shifts u want for every week... say week 1 nshft, week 2 under SAME PERIOD WORK SCHEDULE.. Work schedule rule remains same..

ANS:3 Could you clarify if 5th/6th/7th/8th weeks will have same schedule like the first four weeks?
If it is so, you can use PWS for 4 weeks and in each week, specify the DWS for different shifts.It will automatically assign him different shifts in his Personal Work Schedule.
You can not assign same employee more than one Work Schedule Rule.

I understand that one employee cannot be assigned more than one Work Sch.

In the production system we are running Time evaluation for an employee and we are getting the following error in the log under QUOTA and the person for which we are running Time evaluation has changed to different payroll area from his previous payroll area .


" Error entry no.83 Error when creating absence quota
A complex application error has occured"please any idea on what is the error?

ANS:1 Did TE ran properly for this person earlier? How is time management integrated with payroll in TMSTA? Is it for only 1 employee or for a group of employees'?

it ran properly for him before ,this person changed from one payroll area to other payroll area ,it is only for one employee ,not for a group of employees.
Try to debug the processing part of quota... Most probably there might be some problem with the change u did for payroll area.... if u had manually changed the payroll area..
Pls execute Org Reassignment action to change the payroll area. Do not Manually Change the Payroll area if the periodicity of Payroll area is Different.

ffice:smarttags" name="place"> I am working on 6.0. The company has decided to implement only Organizational Management, Time management and Training and Event Management modules. Can any one please tell me if its possible to do this without implementing personnel management??? And how would it be useful???

ANS:1 Assuming that for instance a name and a prename are considered as "Personnel Management" (or personnel administration PA) data, the use of only organizational management OMwill quite limit the advantages.
You could use OM to maintain the organizational chart, but without names on it... might be a bit boring.


But if you use Personnel Time Management PT and Training and Event Management TEM, I assume, that you use PA as well. Or how should this work if you are not able to assign the reported time to one person's ID?
can you tell me if there is any other way??? Or if there is any other way of uploading emp master data?

ANS:2 In brief: use PA.
If you want to store employee personnel data (like names and so on), then you will need the infotypes from personnel administration PA. Of course you could do it by creating customer specific tables (but with this solution you just create an easy version of what SAP already provides; meaning a lot of effort that is already covered if you use PA).

I have read the issue about implementing OM without PA. This can be possible, but if you are going to implement also times and event, you should need PA. If you don´t have PA, you wont have times or event. For Times and Events, is requierement PA and OM.

ANS: 3 As long as u dont process any employees in SAP, PA module may be left... But if u want to process an emp u should hav hired him and that happens in PA... so check the pros & cons and then go for implementing

[welcomewiki]

Could you please explain me where we use time constraint clsses with respect to differend modules (PA,Time Mgt...etc.)

ANS:1 time constraints are used to define the storage of data for an infotype
there three major time constraints tc-1 tc-2 tc-3
like if a infotype has TC-1 then for that infotype there should be a continuous record, there should be no over laps, last record cannot be deleted like this the TC charecterics are defined. you can go through F1 there everything is explained

[welcomewiki]

There are four classes of time constraints:


Time constraint 0
This allows for: * A maximum of one infotype record of the same type and for the same object, to exist at the same period of time
* No changes to be made to the record at all


Time constraint 1
This allows for: * A maximum of one infotype record of the same type and for the same object, to exist at the same period of time
* No gaps to exist between the records
* Some changes to be made to the attributes of the record


Time constraint 2
This allows for: * A maximum of one infotype record of the same type and for the same object, to exist at the same period of time
* Gaps to exist between valid records


Time constraint 3
This allows for: * Multiple infotype records of the same type and for the same object, to exist at the same period of time
* Gaps to exist between valid records. For example, there could be a three-year gap between the validity periods of two infotype records that exist for the same object.

[welcomewiki]

The few remaining ones are:-

Time constraint A :- Infotype exists just once from Jan.1 1800 to Dec.12 9999
Time constraint B :- IT exists for maximum of once from Jan.1 1800 to Dec.12 9999
Time constraint T :- Time constraint is based on subtype or subtype table
Time constraint Z :- Time constraint for time management infotypes -----> T554Y

I want to configure for overtime.


The scenario is as below :-
On Weekday = Basic Pay/208 * 1.25
On Sundays = Basic Pay/208 * 1.50
On Public Holiday = Basic Pay/208 * 2.00

ANS:1 Just write a PCR for your algorithm.
SAP has delivered with sub-schema's namely TW15 and TW30 for overtime after 8hrs/day and overtime after 40hrs/week. Place your rule in one of the above 2 sub-schema's as per your company needs.

My requirement is overtime is applicable after completion of 48 hours in a week.


As told earlier three calculations for three types of days. Can you brief me how I should modify schema to meet the requirement with any example as I am unable to read the coding.


For your info I use negative time management. Time status - 0, only absence is recorded.


When I go to TW15 schema i can findT001 and T002 where and how I should mention the calculation.

ANS:2 TW15 is the sub-schema for overtime more than 8hrs/day.
In TO01 if you notice carefully, you will see the HRS operation which compares whether the employee has completed 8hrs in a day or not.


For a test run, try changing that 8 to 10, save as a different name and run and see whether it works for overtime more than 10hrs/day. Read the help on HRS. It is a very important operation in Time Management module.

Difference between skeleton time type and flex time type

ANS:1 A time account in the standard SAP System in which you manage an employee's payment-related times.
Skeleton time is determined in time evaluation.


Example: Skeleton time in the standard SAP System consists of:
Attendance, absence, and off-site work in an agreed period (defined by start and end of working time)
Overtime hours that exceed approved overtime
Paid break times


FLEX Time: Personnel Time Management (PT)
A working time pattern in which employees determine their start and end times, and employees must work a certain number of hours within a defined period of each day.

[welcomewiki]

Does anyone know what is the meaning of this operation: HRS?IDAHRS

ANS:1 Operation HRS?IDAHRS returns the number of working hours of the employee (contents of field ARBST from infotype 0007, planned working time).

ANS:2 Furthet to Rodrigo,the code compares the value in the Hrs field with that of the planned working time.It does not return the value. It depends upon the work schedule.


So using this operation as you have written it, the operation will actually return < (less than), > (greater than) or = (equal to), depending on whether the variable HRS has a less than, greater than or equal value compared to the daily working hours value from infotype 0007.

Where do we maintain Time constraint assignment to subtypes of an infotype. I am looking to subtypes of IT 0210 ( Tax With holding ) " where do we create the subtypes and their characteristics for this infotype in IMG? I tried in view V_T591A but there is no entry for this 0210 infotype but I can find the time constraint assignment for the rest of the infotypes in this view.

ANS:1 SPRO-->Personnel Management--> Payroll-->Payroll:USA-->Payroll Results Adjustment-->Define Time Constraints for adjustments, select infotype 0210 & maintain

ANS:2 I checked this table earlier but here we can maintain the properties of the complete infotype. Here we can mention the table to use for individual subtype time constraint assignment, but for this particular INFOTYPE 0210 we can not mention the subtype table.

ANS:3 You can maintain the subtype table for 0210 in T777D via SM30/31.

3)how to maintain Maintained infotypes like 2001, 2002, 2006 and 2011, Etc


ANS:1



1. These tables are maintained for time wage type generation. In table T555A, you define a time type which you will be using. In table T555Y, you define the processing type-time type pair for a attendance or an absence accordingly to the processing type-time type class. In table T510S, you define the time wage type selection rule for various conditions of the day, time etc.


2. TW15 is used to calculate overtime for more than 8hrs a day. TW30 is used to calculate overtime for more than 40hrs per week. You can customize the rules TO01, TO02 etc for your requirement.

3. 2001 is used to maintain absences, 2002 is used to maintain attendances, 2006 is used to maintain absence quotas, 2011 is used to maintain time events for which you need to maintain 0050.


ANS:2 As you are going for Positive Time evaluation.(2011 infotype in your question). T555Z is also an important table to be checked
Go through the training material HR311 to have a better understanding about +ve time evaluation.

I have a scenario where the employee can work any 8 hours in a day of 12 hours. where the day starts at 9 am. so for this how can we fix a lunch break, tea break, since there is no fixed log in or log out time. how can we configure for this.

ANS:1 'Dynamic Breaks' can help you in resolving it.

ANS:2 you can configure this in the IMG :
follow the path : Time Management->Work Schedules ->Daily work schedules -> Determine Break schedule.


I have done as follows


Defined a break with no from or to times , and specifying the quantity of time as 30 mins,



But let me know whether this is right or not. how dynamic breaks are help ful in this regard.

ANS:3 Dynamic break means there is no fixed timings for the break taken by the employee. He can take 30 min (in your case) in the entire day. You can also specify this break as paid or un-paid too.

ANS:4 Suppose if you want to give unpaid Tea break after 2 hours of
login for 15 min, don't specify anything in Start & End and mention 0.25
under unpaid and 2.00 under After column.
And for 30 min.Paid Lunch break after 4 hrs, mention 4 under "After" and
0.50 under paid. Make sure to give the same grouping as well as name to all Breaks
with different serial number.

1. Could any guide me on Time types, Time balances and Time wage types?
2. Bay balance, period balance in "base entitlement for absence quota generation"?

ANS:1 Time types represent a semantic
grouping of duration periods.
Standard settings
The standard SAP system contains common time types as standard entries for a personnel subarea grouping.
These standard entries are generally sufficient for day to day processing within payroll.
----------------
In the standard SAP system, the time type determination group for the employee subgroup grouping for personnel calculation rules 1, 2 and 3 has the value 02.
The time wage type selection rule group is assigned the value of the employee subgroup grouping for the personnel calculation rule to read the Time Wage Type Selection Rule table.

ANS:2 Please maintain the following tables for all those:
V_T555A: Used to maintain or add a new time type.
V_T510S: Used to create a selection rule for the time wage type selection.
V_T559L: Used to create a selection rule for quota accrual.

Time Management status is the link between time management and payroll w.r.t how an employee's time data should be evaluated in payroll. The feature for this TMSTA.


if you want u give accruals based on time evolution this setting has to be done in infotype 0007 means that person should have this time management status
The time management status 7 is used if there is no Payroll module and more over there is no integration with payroll. the same is maintained in the Feature "TMSTA" and in HR master of IT0007.


It is Basically used to define whether Time evaluation Exists in ur Organization and If so Whether Integration exists with Payroll/not.. The entries are maintained in T555V. All these are standard Entries and recommended not to change those...

Possible values for the Time Management status:
o 0 - No time evaluation
o 1 - Time evaluation of actual times
o 2 - PDC time evaluation
o 7 - Time evaluation without payroll integration
o 8 - External services
o 9 - Time evaluation of planned times

Time mgt status 7 is Time Mgt without payroll integration. we set this status in infotype 7. we generally use schema TQTA without payroll integration.
TQTA schema will accrue only ur absence quotas i.e ur leave quota.
This is all regarding the Time Mgt status 7, i think this will give u a idea.
