The Internal Table TZP (SAP Library - Personnel Time Management (PT))

The Internal Table TZP

Definition

The internal table TZP is only used in time evaluation. The planned specifications from the employee’s personal work schedule are stored in TZP.

Note

Any substitutions, which overwrite the employee’s personal work schedule, are also taken into account.

Use

The system requires two pieces of information in order to calculate employees’ time balances:

The planned specifications

These stipulate how the employee has to work (according to his/her work schedule).

The actual specifications

These indicate when the employee actually worked.

At the start of time evaluation, the planned specifications - in the form of the daily work schedule - are made accessible in table TZP. The system analyzes each point of time in the daily work schedule, and assigns it a time identifier. The time identifier denotes:

Overtime (time outside of the daily work schedule)

Fill time

Core time

Break

You can insert a PRINT TZP in the schema, after function P2011 or P2000, if you want to display the most important contents of table TZP. If you run the time evaluation report RPTIME00 with the test utilities ON, you can check the values calculated in the log.

Structure

Column/field

Meaning

CLOCK TIME
Time point:
The daily work schedule specifies start times for breaks, core time and so on as decimalized values.
Times outside of the daily work schedule are also taken into account.

CODE

A time identifier is assigned to each time point to describe its place in the daily work schedule. The breaks are taken from the work break schedule that is assigned to the daily work schedule.
Example

Time point

000000
080000

095000
100000
Time identifier
01 Time outside of daily work schedule
02 Fill time
03 Core time
04 Core time break
03 Core time

BLOCK

This field is currently of no significance.

PDBEZ
Duration of paid break
The duration of the paid break period is specified. The time wage types formed from this information are evaluated in payroll.

PDUNB
Duration of unpaid break
The duration of the unpaid break period is specified.

Further values which are accessible in TZP:

PTYP1

Break type 1 is stored in the work break schedule (T550P).
The break type 1 field indicates whether the break is during planned working time or overtime.
The break type 1 can be processed separately using function PBRKS.

PTYP2

Break type 2 is stored in the work break schedule (T550P) and is user-definable.

The break type 2 can be processed separately using function PBRKS. Special break processing can be performed for certain employees or employee groupings.
