You can use the Integrating Time Management with Other R/3 Components to record time data that can also be used and processed by other R/3 components.

You can also transfer time data from other systems. This is especially the case for the time data from the Time Sheet (CATS). You can also transfer time data from front-end time recording systems or external time management systems.

You can use Integrating Time Management with Other R/3 Applications to carry out the following:

• Assigning personnel costs to Controlling objects (such as cost centers, orders, and so on.
• Allocating activities in Controlling (CO)
• Calculating working hours for external services
• Transferring time data from Time Sheet (CATS)
• Transferring time data from a time recording system
• Transferring time data from an external time management system

Time data recorded in the Time Sheet can be transferred to Time Management. In this way, quotas can be accrued and deducted from this data in Time Management. The time data can also be prepared for Payroll (PY).

Cost assignments recorded in Time Management are further processed and valuated in Payroll (PY). The personnel costs determined can also be transferred to Controlling (CO). There, the Controlling objects recorded are debited accordingly.

Activity allocation specifications recorded in R/3 Time Management are transferred to R/3 Controlling. Internal activity allocation is carried out based on the pay scales located there.

You can manage time data concerning any employees from external companies who perform work for your enterprise using the Time Management component. Costs for work performed by external employees depends upon the following:

• Working time (evening hours, public holidays, and so on)
• Qualifications of the person doing the work
• Type of work performed
• Any agreed upon contractual conditions

Personnel time events (such as clock-in/clock-out entries) or employee expenditures (such as cafeteria or service station data) are recorded on front-end time recording systems. This data can then be transferred to R/3 Time Management and further processed there.

Time data recorded in external time management systems can also be transferred to Time Management and further processed there.
