Assignment Assistant 

Use

The assignment assistant can be used when assigning employees and requirements using Requirements Matchup as well as from the Assignment View. The assignment assistant appears as a dialog box called Breakdown of Requirements Assignment.

You can specify assignment dates and options with the Assignment Assistant.

Assignment Data

Here you specify the interval in which an assignment is to take place.

To specify these entries, you can access a shift abbreviation that determines the desired working time.

You can, however, enter any interval of your choice.

The assignment interval can only exist within the time period of the shift time.

Assignment Options

If you select this assignment option, you can modify an employee’s working time to suit the time interval of the requirement if this interval deviates from the employee’s working time.

If the employee’s working time overlaps with his or her own normal working time, then the system creates a Substitution in SAP Time Recording. If the working time is extended, the system creates a change in the employee’s working time in SAP Time Recording.

Here you determine that an assignment of employees and requirements can only be created for complete (not partial) coverage of the requirements interval.

If this assignment option is selected, then you specify that only an employee whose working time is identical to the time interval of the requirements can be assigned to those requirements.

In the IMG for Shift Planning, under Determine Assignment Options, you can set the options that are to be used when assigning requirements to employees.

You can also specify the type of attendance that is created by an extension to working time.

You can specify what type of substitution is created when working time is modified in the IMG for Shift Planning, under Integration ® Define Substitution Types.
