Integrating Time Management in Your Enterprise’s Organizational Structure

Use

In the Time Management component you can group employee subareas and personnel subareas according to areas of responsibility. Special processing rules can then be defined for these groupings.

This concept allows you to combine several personnel subareas in one grouping so that the same working time provisions apply. This helps to reduce the amount of time involved in entering the work schedule arrangements valid in your company. This concept also allows you to represent special rules for small personnel subareas, employee subgroups, or even individual employees in the SAP System.

Integration

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).

Features

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

Define different work schedules

Assign special rules for availability and substitutions

Permit only certain attendance and absence types

Specify special processing rules for time data evaluation and payroll, for example

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

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.
