Maintaining Time Events
Use
Time events are clock-in/out times, for example, recorded by an employee at the time recording terminal. In the Time Events infotype (2011), you can enter time events that have not yet been uploaded into the HR system or that have been uploaded incorrectly.
Time events are only maintained if you use time recording systems.
Missing clock-in or clock-out times are automatically supplemented in time evaluation in certain cases. The system determines the missing times on the basis of the employee’s planned working times. Ask your system administrator about the situations in which missing times are supplemented automatically.
Procedure
We recommend that you use the List entry function, since this allows you to enter several time events at the same time.
1. Manual entries seldom specify the same clock time as time events that have been recorded at the terminal. If an employee mistakenly informs you that he or she forgot to clock in, for example, and you record the time event in infotype 2011, there are two different clock-in times stored in the system (for example, 07:59 and 08:00). An error is generated by the time evaluation program.
2. In the Day assignment field, you can set the
previous day indicator to specify whether the record should be assigned to the current or the previous day. The indicator is set automatically when pairs are formed in time evaluation:= The event was assigned to the current day.
< The event was assigned to the previous day.
You can override this automatic assignment by making a manual entry:
+ The event should be assigned to the current day.
- The event should be assigned to the previous day.
3. The system automatically checks whether the employee takes part in time recording, and whether the work time event type is permitted.
Result
You have recorded one or more time events.
