You can define whether the system should carry out control checks for infotypes using the test procedure; you can also define those infotypes and their subtypes for which control checks should be carried using the test procedure.

This test procedures function for infotypes is particularly pertinent when the system needs to check the integrity of data entered by employees.

You define the infotypes, for which the system should carry out a control check in Personnel Administration customizing: Tools ® Authorization Administration ® Special Authorizations in Personnel Administration ® Test Procedures ® Create Test Procedures or Assign Infotypes to Test Procedures.

You normally process the Test Procedures infotype (0130) using a program, not manually. You can use Report for Time Leveling (RPTAPPU0). This is a muster report which implements a control for a test procedure for time infotype records that have already been entered.

Mr. Mackintosh enters his own time data in the system. The absence and attendance data should go through a control test procedure. Mr. Mackintosh must have the authority to write to infotypes that are relevant for time recording and must also have the authority to read the Test Procedures infotype (0130). He can only enter time data for the period after it has been released following a test procedure.

Mrs. Wong, who is Mr. Mackintosh’s superior, has the authority to write to the infotypes that are relevant for time recording and the infotypes that are relevant for the Test Procedures infotype (0130). At the end of a time evaluation period she checks the data using a time evaluation report and releases it. The release date is automatically set to the date at the end of the period checked.

Mr. Mackintosh can not change any data for the previous period.

However, his superior can still change data records that have been released.
