This report allows you to summarize and classify your employees’ attendances and absences from various points of view. The data is displayed in a list. You can display leave data for employees for a particular personnel area sorted according to personnel subarea and employee.
You can jump from the
Attendance/Absences Data: Overview
to the
Attendances/Absences: Calendar View
report (RPTABS50).
You can also use the report to evaluate data according to attendance or absence category (that is, the abbreviation for the attendance or absence). To do this, you must first set up the abbreviations in Customizing for attendance and absence types.
This report creates different lists showing employees’ attendances and absences. You can make specifications in the selection screen that determine the layout of the lists, such as which columns appear and in what order, and how the data is classified.
For example, you can carry out time evaluation based only on attendances, on absences, or only on individual attendance and absence types.
You can also enter a payroll period instead of a time period.
You can also select employees without attendances and absences.
You can alternate between different views in the output list. You can display all available data, or different detail views.
You can go directly from the output list to the
Attendances/Absences: Calendar View
report (RPTABS50) for an employee.
From the output list, you can go directly to the infotype for the corresponding attendance or absence.
