Attendances Infotype (2002) 
Attendances Infotype (2002)
Definition
You can use the Attendances infotype (2002) to store special attendances for employees.
In the Human Resources (HR) component, you can record attendances that define or add to an employee’s monthly work schedule.
A typical attendance is a business trip. The employee is not at his or her normal workplace, but nonetheless is still working for the enterprise.
Attendances are divided into attendance types. Attendance types are subtypes of the Attendances infotype (2002).
Use
The Absences infotype (2001) also includes a special feature: Various entry screens for subtype groups are activated. These screens allow you to enter special data for these attendances. The standard R/3 System includes entry screens for:
This entry screen is used for all absences that do not require any special processing (business trips, for example). Payroll hours and days are also displayed here.
This entry screen can be used for the Attendance For Quota Days attendance type. In addition, the screen includes special fields and additional subscreens to check quota deduction.
When you enter an attendance type with quota deduction, the system checks the existing quotas. The attendance record only be stored if sufficient quotas are available. The system automatically updates the quotas.
In Customizing, you can define the attendance quota types from which a particular attendance type is to be deducted.
When you enter attendance types, the system automatically calculates the number of attendance hours and days, taking the employee’s planned working time and days off into account.
You can overwrite the Hours fields. Unlike absence times, attendance times can extend beyond an employee’s daily planned working time.
Depending on the settings made in Customizing, absences can be recorded with clock times (that is, 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.), or by specifying a number of hours only (that is, 2 hours).
Whether you record hours or clock times for an employee depends on the following:
Whether or not the system generates clock times automatically also depends on the settings made in Customizing.
Contact your system administrator to find out which regulations apply to the absence recording in your enterprise.
Payment Data
There are two methods of entering a payment that differs from an employee’s normal payment resulting from a particular attendance in the system:
You can enter the payment for an attendance directly in the Wage type field. This field can then be queried in Payroll Accounting or Time Evaluation. This field is not used in the standard R/3 System.
