Determine Work Time Event Types

In this step, you determine which posting types are allowed for your employees.

Example

You want one employee group to be able to use all options offered by the time recording system - that is, they should be able to enter off-site work themselves at the time recording terminal - whereas anotheremployee group should only be allowed to make clock-in and clock-out entries.

You want another employee group to be able to post the start and end of orders.

Standard Settings

In the standard SAP R/3 System, the relevant table only contains one grouping indicator with all known time event types.

Note

You can make the settings in the Personnel Time Events section or the Plant Data Collection section.

Recommendation

If you do not want to make a distinction between different employee groups, you should leave the standard settings as they are. This ensures that no enhancements have to be made if new requirements arise.

Activities

1. Decide which time event types your various employee groups should be allowed to enter at the subsystem

2. Create a separate personnel time event type group for each employee group, and assign the allowed time event types

Further Notes

The functionality described above is often supported by the front-end time recording system or PDC system. If this is the case, you do not have to make a further distinction the Time Management system.
