Connection to External Time Management Systems

Use

This function enables time data and external wage types recorded in an external time management system to be transferred to Time Management (PT).

Integration

There are two options for connecting to external time management systems:

Providing R/3 Time Management with external time data

In this case, either time durations (such as 8 hours) or time intervals (such as 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) are recorded in external systems.

After the transfer, the data is stored either the Attendances (2002) or the Absences (2001) infotypes.

Providing R/3 Time Management with external time wage types

After the transfer, the data is stored in the EE Remuneration Info infotype (2010).

Note

If your employees enter their attendance times themselves at time recording terminals (clock-in and clock-out entry), you can then transfer this data (entry times) to R/3 Time Management (PT) via the standardized interface Communication Channel 1 (CC1).

For more information, see Connecting from External Time Management Systems.

By transferring time data, you benefit from the full range of functions provided by the R/3 Time Management component. For example, you can process quota accrual and quota deduction. Then, in Payroll, the employee’s personal work schedule is taken into consideration, ensuring that the appropriate time management data is accessed in order for employee absences to be correctly valuated.

Note

In addition to these two variants, the Substitutions infotype (2003) in R/3 Time Management can also be supplied with external operative planned working time For more information, see Supplying R/3 Time Management with Operative Planned Working Time.
