    In this example, you generate time events only until the second-last day of the shift and subsequently run time evaluation. The system generates the error message Employee not at work for one day. You then process the error using Time Management's integrated error handling function.

    This example illustrates the necessity of separating time recording and time evaluation.

    The employee with personnel number 1289 is an industrial worker who works a rotating shift pattern: early, late, night. The last clock-out for the night shift is recorded on the following day. Time recording subsequently thinks that there are two postings that are not in the correct sequence on that day: first "Clock-out" and then "Clock-in".

    Time evaluation can establish the correct logical relationship and assigns the clock-out to the previous day and the clock-in to the current day.

    Note that time events can be generated only for employees whose Time Management status in the Planned Working Time infotype (0007) is 1. Employees who have a Time Management status other than 1 cannot be accounted using positive time management. Report ZTIMECOP issues an error message for any personnel numbers for which actual times are not recorded.

    After the report has run, the system displays a list of all the time events generated.
