The time evaluation schemas evaluate employees’ time data using personnel calculation rules.

The time evaluation report (RPTIME00) evaluates employee time data that has been recorded in time infotypes or at time recording terminals. The time data is evaluated for each employee on a daily basis. RPTIME00 initiates processing for each day, which carries out processing steps that depend on the employee and the day being evaluated, and the type of time data that has been recorded. The processing is stored in a schema.

A schema is made up of a number of different processing steps. It specifies how the steps are to be carried out and in what order. The sequence in which the steps are carried out is highly significant. In a number of cases, the system bases further processing on the values that have been determined in the previous steps.

The standard system supplies schemas that cover a wide range of functions. You can use them as a model and customize them to suit the specific requirements of your company. The three schemas set different requirements of the time data being evaluated, and also follow different evaluation strategies.

Which schema you should use depends on several factors. By choosing a schema, you are not obliged to use one particular method of processing time data. You can copy functions from another standard schema into the one you have chosen to work with, and customize the method of processing as you wish.
