Maintaining General Absences 

Use

In the Human Resources (HR) component, general absences are absences that do not require any special processing.

General absences include:

· Time Off for Marriage

· Illness without Continued Pay

· Unpaid Leave

The following section describes the maintenance process for full-day absences. Note: Special functions are activated when Maintaining Partial Day Absences.

Procedure

  1. Choose the Absences (2001) infotype and enter a subtype or absence type for a general absence.
  2. Enter a time period.
  3. Select a processing mode.
  4. Check the validity period of the record. Correct it if necessary.
  5. Choose Enter.

    6. The system automatically calculates the entries in all of the fields on the screen, except the Time field.

    Depending on the settings made in Customizing, the system issues either a warning or error message if the "from" or "to" date of the record falls on an employee’s day off.

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

    7. For more information on Activity Allocation and Cost Assignment, refer to the Integration with Controlling section.

  7. Save your entries.

Result

A general absence is now recorded for the employee.
