Time Sheet and Human Resources in Distributed Systems (SAP Library - Time Sheet and Human Resources in Distributed Systems)

Time Sheet and Human Resources in Distributed Systems

Use

With this function, you can record time data using the Time Sheet when the SAP Cross-Application Time Sheet and SAP Human Resources operate in distributed systems.

The Time Sheet provides information about working times performed in the following SAP components:

Controlling (CO): Activity Allocation
Human Resources (HR): Time Management
Materials Management (MM-SRV): Service Entry
Plant Maintenance (PM): Confirmations
Project System (PS): Confiirmations
Customer Service (CS): Confirmations

Note

For more information, see Time Sheet.

Integration

As a result of its close relationship with the operative data in SAP Logistics, the Time Sheet should be implemented in each Logistics System.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Information from employee work schedules are required to calculate actual times. To access this information, the Time Sheet uses time data overviews from SAP Time Management (PT).

When time data is recorded in the Time Sheet, checks can be performed before the data is transferred to the HR System.

During the transfer to HR, data records are stored in the Attendances (2002), Absences (2001), and Employee Remuneration Info (2010) infotypes. This data can then be processed in time evaluation to form time wage types. In SAP Payroll, primary wage types are generated from these time wage types. The data entered in the Time Sheet is thus included during the payroll run for the employees.

You can also enter information on business trips using the Time Sheet. The business trip is directly created in the SAP Travel Management component.

Note

There are two options for implementing this business process that depend on the extent you want to use the available Time Sheet functionality.

Tightly coupled HR and time sheet systems
Loosely coupled HR and time sheet systems

The type of access to time data overviews and the checks you want to perform are both relevant when deciding on which option you want to implement.

In a tightly coupled system, HR data is usually accessed synchronously. In a loosely coupled system, the required data is first distributed from the HR System to the system where the Time Sheet is located.

To ensure better performance, use a loosely coupled system.

Prerequisites

The HR master data required must first be transferred to the system where the Time Sheet is located. To do so, carry out the ALE Business Process for Distributing HR Master Data.
