Integrating Time Management in Your Enterprise’s Organizational Structure 

The Time Management component is closely integrated in the organizational structure of your enterprise.

When working with Time Management, it is therefore essential that you maintain certain master data infotypes for your employees. One of the most important infotypes is Organizational Assignment (0001), which contains data on the organizational units to which the employee is assigned within the enterprise (personnel area, employee subgroup, and so on).

It is possible to group employee subgroups and personnel subareas for certain tasks. Special processing rules can then be defined for these groupings.
On the one hand, this concept allows you to combine several personnel subareas to one grouping and assign them the same working time provisions. This helps to reduce the amount of time involved in entering the work schedule arrangements valid in your company.
On the other hand, this concept allows you to represent special rules for small personnel subareas, employee subgroups, or even individual employees in the SAP system.

You can use the groupings of employee subgroups and personnel subareas to:

When your system is customized, working time models are defined for the different groupings and adapted to suit each grouping’s special features.

The following employee subgroup and personnel subarea groupings can be used in Time Management:

Employee subgroup grouping

For time quota types

 

For work schedules

 

For personnel calculation rules

Personnel subarea grouping

For attendance/absence types

 

For time quota types

 

For work schedules

 

For daily work schedules

 

For substitution and availability types

 

For attendance/absence counting

 

For time recording

 

For premiums

Employee groupings for time evaluation

For time wage type selection

 

For time type determination

 

For dynamic daily work schedule assignment

 

For checking value limits

 

For automatic absence quota accrual

Time Management-related employee groupings for Payroll Accounting

For absence valuation

 

If you encounter frequent error messages, this may be due to the fact that the organizational structures stored in the system are not being taken into account. For example, it is not possible to assign a work schedule to an employee in a particular personnel subarea if the work schedule has not been defined for this personnel subarea.
