If you use target hours from the work schedule for time recording, you can specify a period for which you want the target hours to be transferred from SAP R/3 to CATS notebook. The target hours are then available in CATS notebook for each day of this period. Because the target hours are imported in the course of each synchronization, CATS notebook automatically takes account of changes in the shift plan for your selected period.

You do not enter dates to specify the period for the target hours; instead, you enter a number of days in the past and in the future, relative to the synchronization date. The actual period, therefore, changes dynamically with each synchronization.

The length of the period you choose will depend on the frequency with which you synchronize data. If you synchronize weekly, we recommend a period of 10 days before the synchronization date and 30 days after.
