Dynamic Daily Work Schedule Assignment in Pair Formation 
Dynamic Daily Work Schedule Assignment in Pair Formation
Use
If the actual hours worked by an employee do not correspond to the working time stipulated in his or her daily work schedule (taking account of substitutions), the assignment of a time event to the previous day does not always achieve the desired result. The HR system therefore provides a further option for forming correct time pairs from time events.
The following example demonstrates why assigning a time event to the previous day does not guarantee correct pair formation in certain cases:
An employee is to work from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on January 2nd and 3rd, 1997, according to the daily work schedule. The following time events are recorded however:
P10 - Clock-in |
01/02/1997 |
05:00 |
P20 - Clock-out |
01/02/1997 |
14:10 |
P10 - Clock-in |
01/03/1997 |
05:50 |
P20 - Clock-out |
01/03/1997 |
14:10 |
The clock-in and clock-out entries for January 2nd, 1997, are assigned to January 2nd, 1997. Since the planned daily work schedule does not end until 6 a.m. on January 3rd, 1997, the clock-in entry for January 3rd, 1997, is assigned to the previous day. This means that the system is unable to form a complete time pair on January 3rd, 1997.
It is clear from this example that it is not always sufficient to refer to the planned working time stipulated in the employee’s daily work schedule. The HR system therefore allows a daily work schedule to be assigned dynamically in pair formation.
Dynamic daily work schedule assignment is only relevant to previous day assignment in pair formation. This dynamic assignment can be controlled in more detail in the environment of time evaluation, where information regarding payment can also be determined .
Features
Certain tolerance intervals are taken into account for the dynamic assignment of daily work schedules. If the first time event of the day is within the specified time frame, a daily work schedule is assigned dynamically.
You can define a time frame for the first time event of the day in the Dynamic Assignment of Daily Work Schedules view (V_T552V).
Please note that only the type for daily work schedule assignment 01 is read for the dynamic assignment of daily work schedules during pair formation.
The table is read with the correct date, the time interval that contains the clock-out entry, and the employee’s daily work schedule grouping and period work schedule. If there is an entry with the type for daily work schedule assignment 01, the specified daily work schedule is assigned to the employee.

Result: According to his or her personal work schedule, the employee should have worked night shift. By assigning the daily work schedule dynamically, the pair formation function is able to assign the employee to the early shift and form time pairs accordingly.
