Posting Time Tickets to Incentive Wages

Use

Time tickets must be posted to incentive wages so that the relevant employees can be remunerated on the basis of their performance. This affects particularly those employees who work in piecework or premium wages.

Integration

The generated time tickets can then be processed in the time ticket maintenance transaction in incentive wages.

The results of incentive wages are read in SAP Payroll from the relevant wage types, and then transferred to SAP Controlling (CO).

Prerequisites

The time tickets have already been generated in pair formation and saved to table WST in cluster B2.

The posting of time tickets to incentive wages is set up in the Maintain Settings for Pair Formation step in the Customizing section of the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Personnel Time Management .

In the above step, you can decide whether the posting of time tickets should:

  • Be deactivated

  • Take place when time tickets are generated

  • Not take place until time evaluation is run

The relevant field must be activated in the Post PDC Time Tickets step.

Features

Before a day is processed, the status of table WST is frozen so that it can be compared to the status after processing. The comparison shows that new time tickets have been generated, or that time tickets that had already been posted have been changed or deleted. On the basis of this comparison, time tickets to be added or deleted are placed in the interface table IFT2 in cluster B1. New time tickets are entered as copies in the table. A deletion entry and a create entry are generated for time tickets that were changed.

When the time tickets are actually posted, the time ticket generated earlier is deleted on the basis of the deletion entries in table IFT2. New time tickets are supplemented by the target times from Logistics. The target times are determined from the confirmed quantity. The labor utilization rate is calculated from the actual and target times using the calculation rules specified in incentive wages. The time ticket is indicated as "generated," and the entries in table IFT2 are deleted.

If a time ticket that is to be deleted or changed has been changed manually, an error message is generated in table ERT in cluster B1. The entries remain in table IFT2. The time data administrator can correct this inconsistency by using the error handling function from the Time Management pool.

An error is also generated if validation in incentive wages is not successful. In this case, the work time events on which the validation was based must be corrected. Corrections can also be carried out using the error handling function from the Time Management pool .
