Integration with Time Management (SAP Library

Integration with Time Management

Purpose

You use this component to calculate time wage types in Payroll, such as bonuses for overtime, night work, or work on public holidays. The time wage types are formed on the basis of time data information. They are used to form employees’ gross wage.

Implementation Considerations

The component acts as an interface between the Payroll component and the Time Management component. The Integration with Time Management component is supplied with time data from the Time Data Recording and Administration component and with time wage types from the Time Evaluation component.

If you only use the Time Data Recording and Administration component, you can use the Integration with Time Management component to evaluate the employee-related time data information and to determine the time wage types. If you also use the Time Evaluation component, the Integration with Time Management component imports the time wage types determined by Time Evaluation. The Integration with Time Management component determines provisional time wage types for periods for which time evaluation cannot deliver current results (due to a payroll run being moved forward, for example).

Features

The time wage types determined, such as hourly wage, overtime wage, and bonuses, form the specifications for the financial valuation of work performed further on in gross payroll.

In the case of working times that have no specified attendance or absence times, it is assumed in the standard system that the employee has worked according the planned times from his or her work schedule.

When selecting time wage types, the system can automatically take account of conditions on the duration or time of an activity, public holidays, or weekdays.

Cost accounting information can also be assigned to the time data. Payroll passes on this information to the wage types formed. This enables the personnel costs resulting from the time data to be made available to Cost Accounting.
