Temporary Generation of Work Schedules

Scope of Functions

When you record time data for an employee, information is imported from the work schedule to facilitate data entry, and to allow you to check the validity of the data. Time Evaluation also imports the work schedule. In previous releases, you could not edit or evaluate time data if the work schedule for the desired period had not yet been generated.

This process made an administrator's work more difficult. For this reason, the work schedule is now generated automatically.

The automatically generated work schedules are not saved to the database. To improve system performance, continue to generate work schedules for a specific period as you have previously done.

Effects on Customizing

In Customizing, define how the system is to react in such a situation, in the Set Work Schedule Rules and Work Schedules step. You can choose one of the following settings by using the automatic generation field:

• The work schedule is generated automatically, and a message is displayed (this is a standard setting, and now applies to all entries)

• The work schedule is automatically generated, but no message is displayed

• The work schedule is not generated. As in previous releases, an error message is displayed, and the current transaction is cancelled
