Schema TM04 is a standard schema used to evaluate employee time data that is recorded as a number of hours and not using clock times.

Schema TM04 is based on the following requirements and objectives:

Schema TM04 forms time balances, time wage types and time quotas. It is processed using the time evaluation report RPTIME00.

The schema imports and processes time data that has been entered online. Employee working time is recorded in the Attendances infotype (2002).

You can record only exceptions to the work schedule, or all times to be included in the working time (actual times).

Clock times are not required for evaluation of time data. Attendance/absence times must be entered as hours and not as clock-in/out times, and only these hours are evaluated in pair formation. The times specified in the daily work schedule are insignificant. Only entries in hours such as planned working hours or minimum daily working time are evaluated. Checks are not performed against the maximum daily working time specified in the daily work schedule when planned working time and overtime are calculated.

When exceptions to the work schedule are entered, the planned working hours are generated according to the daily work schedule. Recorded absences and certain attendance times are deducted.

All recorded times are seen as working time when overtime is calculated. The following overtime rules apply:

• Overtime begins after x number of hours per day

• Overtime begins after y number of hours per week

• Overtime begins after z number of consecutive workdays.

In schema TM04, you can store rules which refer to the payroll period. These payroll periods can be different for different employees, and do not have to correspond to the time evaluation period.
