Peter Miller is a field service employee who wants to record his working times. He accesses the company intranet and selects the Record Working Time Internet Application Component. He then enters the attendance or absence type, the sender and receiver cost centers, and the number of hours he worked. To assist him with entering this information, he can use either the default values proposed or the search function.

Peter saves his working times in the current system and releases them at a later time.

Peter now wants to release his working times for approval. He chooses Save and release.

Peter's personnel officer does not approve his working times. The next time Peter calls the time sheet in the Internet, the rejected hours are highlighted. He corrects the hours and releases them again for approval.

Peter’s personnel officer approves the corrected data. The data is written to the interface tables ready for transfer to the target components.
