Maintaining Partial Day Absences 

Use

In the R/3 Human Resources (HR) component, partial day absences are absence periods within the employee’s planned working time on any given day. In other words, the employee is absent during part of his or her planned working hours, but is at work the remainder of the scheduled time.

The absence types that are stored as partial day absences are specified in the settings made in Customizing.

Partial-day absences include:

Procedure

1. Choose the Absences (2001) infotype and enter a permitted subtype or absence type for recording a partial day absence.

2. Enter a time period.

3. Select a processing mode.

4. Check the validity period of the record.

You can only enter partial-day absences for one day.

5. Specify the absence time or hours.

6. Choose Enter.

When you enter absence hours, the system automatically calculates the missing clock-in and/or clock-out times according to the settings made in Customizing. The system also references the planned working times in the daily work schedule and takes any substitution data into consideration.

If you enter times that are outside planned working time, the system automatically corrects them.

7. To integrate the absence data in other R/3 System components, maintain the Accounting/Logistics specifications as required.

For more information on Activity Allocation and Cost Assignment, see Integration with R/3 Controlling.

8. Save your entries.

Result

The partial-day absence is now recorded for the employee.
