Features

  • You can use this service in various applications:

    • As a standalone Web application, Time Calendar . You can use this application to provide your managers with an overview of employees’ availability in their area of responsibility.

    • As part of the Leave Request application. The employees in a manager's team can find out about planned leave and the other absences of their colleagues.

    • As part of the Approve Leave Request application. This application enables managers to find out about the leave employees in their team have planned before they approve individual leave requests.

  • The Team Calendar comprises a calendar that displays an overview of employee absences for the team. The following information is displayed:

    • Full-day absences that have been posted to the Absences infotype (2001). Such absences are displayed in the application with the status, Absent .

    • Several partial-day absences exist for one day. This can include posted absences and requested leave. Such absences are displayed in the application with the status, Multiple Absences .

    • Leave requests that have not yet been approved. This includes new requests and requests for changes to be made. They are displayed in the application with the status, Sent . Absences with this status are only displayed if you implement the Leave Request application.

    • Requests for absences to be deleted. This includes absences that have already been approved that an employee would like to cancel. They are displayed in the Web application with the status, Deletion Requested . Absences with this status are only displayed if you implement the Leave Request application.

      The various statuses are highlighted using different colors in the application.

  • You can click on an entry to view detailed information about a particular absence.

  • The Team Calendar enables you to display Absences (infotype 2001) and Attendances (infotype 2002). This means that you can also display records of the Attendances infotype (2002) that have the quality of an absence in your company, such as participation in training courses.

    Note Note

    Customizing for the Team Calendar is very similar to Customizing for the Leave Request application and some of the same tables are re-used. If you implement the Leave Request application, all absences that employees are allowed to request are also displayed in the Team Calendar . You can also display additional absences that employees are not allowed to request.

    End of the note.

  • The application uses the request database, which is also used for processing leave requests, to determine employees’ attendances and absences:

    • If you implement the Leave Request application, requested leave is also displayed in the Leave Overview .

    • Even if you do not implement the Leave Request application, the application reads records from the Absences infotype (2001) and the Attendances infotype (2002) using the functions of the request database.

  • You can test the display function of the application. The Test Report for the UIA Interface for Leave Requests ( RPTARQUIATEST ) enables you to do this. For more information about the tools used in the implementation phase, see Maintaining the Database and Testing in the documentation for the Leave Request application.
