Query on Positive time management in SAP HR

Dear Experts
While checking the RPTIME00, I get the following in log -
Select time wage types
GWT
Input - TIP
Processing - No pairs exist for processing type
Output
DZL - No entry in table
What could be the possible reasons?
Can anyone please tell me as to which output tables(such as ZES, SALDO, ZML etc) needs to filled up after time evaluation for overtime?
Thanks,

What are the major challenges for the end-user in using Positive Time Management

Hi Seniors,
Can anybody please provide me some data on the same.
Thanks.

Hi,
Positive time management is slightly difficult to implement compared to negative time management.
In negative time management, you use planned working times + deviations in time evaluation.
In positive time management, you record actual times through time recording system. You have to bring these times to SAP through an interface and then evaluate the actual times against the planned times and accordingly pay them out. You would need to pay attention regarding the integration between SAP R/3 and time recording system.
Building rules for positive time management is slightly more challenging compared to negative time management.
Kindly go through the below documents on positive time management which will give you more idea about the same.
Integration of Time Recording Terminals with SAP R/3
Determination of First Clock In & Last Clock Out in Positive Time Evaluation
Late Coming, Early Going and Unauthorized absence
Prorated Grant of Absence Quota for Contract Period in Time Evaluation
Splitting of Overtime Hours after X Hours in Time Evaluation
Rounding off Overtime Hours Generated via T510S table in Time Evaluation
Public Holiday Calendar and Work Schedule Rules
I hope these are helpful to you.
Thanks and regards,

Negative time management to positive time management

Hi Experts
our client is following negative time management now. They would
like to implement positive time management from now onwards.
please suggest how i'll do this for my client.
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly, your client has to decide how the entry exit timings of the employees are going to be captured, and then load them into SAP. The timevents will be updated in IT2011.
One way is to have a third party capture all the events from recording terminals located on the site, have a RFC to get these events to SAP. The time events can then be uploaded into the infotype table TEVEN (IT2011). These programs shud also be scheduled in the backgrnd to run either daily or after sum intervals of time.
In config,
You will have to change the groupings of PS & EE for time recording,
Change the time management status for these employees,
change the feature TMSTA to default the same status for new employees to be hired.
Maintain IT0050 for all employees. (necessary for +ve time)
Change the grouping for Attendance / Absence types
Have to check whether system reactions for time pair formations in system are as per clients requirements
Modify the time mangement schema (with clock times) according to the requirement.
Schedule a background job so that time evaluation is run for all employees once a day. (usually scheduled during the night)
These are some of the changes that I can think about right now hope this is helpful.

Shreyasi.

Document on Positive Time Management & Integration with payroll

Hi,
Can any one suggest me any link from where I will get the IMG steps of Positive time management implemetation, time evaluation, time wagetype detail as well as the steps of integration with payroll..
Thanks in advance.
Ajay

Hi Chandrashekar,
Can you please advise how actually the transfer of clock times from time recording terminals to SAP R/3 will work?
I read from help.sap.com that there is a SAP certified CC1 interface (BAPI based) which can be used for this purpose. However, in such a case, the time recording terminals should be SAP CC1 certified.
If the time recording terminals are not SAP CC1 certified, then what is the method to be used? Will we write a custom BDC program in this scenario and what all should be considered in functional specification of such a BDC program.
Please advise.
Thanks and warm regards,
Vianshu

Positive time management through interface or without interface

Hi Gurus,
I am working on positive time management and i have few queries:
1. As a consultant I have to suggest my client whether they should for interface between sap and eternal recording system or not... What you guys suggest which one is better.
2. I came to know that there is a standard interface(HR PDC) in sap to interact with ecternal recording system. I want to know how this Sap interact with external recording system i.e. online or offline using this interface.
Please reply to my queries soon..
Points will be awarded for the inputs.
Hope to hear soon from u guys...

1. As a consultant I have to suggest my client whether they should go for interface between sap and eternal recording system or not... What you guys suggest which one is better.
If your client wish to go for postive time management it is must for you create interface either you willing to say or not.
Without that interface you can't do time positive time management
2. I came to know that there is a standard interface(HR PDC) in sap to interact with ecternal recording system. I want to know how this Sap interact with external recording system i.e. online or offline using this interface.
I belive this needs some third party tool to intract with PDC. then you have use time evaluation status TMSTA 1 according to PDC
I belive it bit differnt from what you are looking for.
please tell me what kind of time terminal your client is using at the moment?
Best Regards

See the re
Please provide the information regarding the key differences between Negative Time Management & Positive Time Management.
Time Management can be bifurcated types:
1. Positive Time (+ve Time) ? Positive time is plays the total role of workflow. All the processes related to time are automatically gets executed in the background. E.g., in our case it is done only partially to validate the attendance as per punches and other documents with shift timing and generate absence automatically in case of any discrepancy.
2. Negative Time (-ve Time) ? Where the all time related activities like validation of the attendance, posting of absence for wage deduction etc are done manually. It has less level of integration among the different components of time management.
Negative Time Recording:
1. Records time deviations to Planned Working Time
2. Valid deviations include: Absences, Special Absences, On Call Duty, Overtime, Substitutions, Time off in lieu
3. Deviations are manually entered according to type & duration.
Positive Time Recording:
1. Records the attendance time of the employee
2. Records the deviation times of the employee
3. Valid attendances include: Training, Business Trips, Seminars, Overtime.
4. Attendances & deviations can be entered either:
- Front end system
- Manually.
Positive Time Management we have two types of recordings:
1. With Clock times - Complete time recording is captured
2. With out Clock times - Only Number of hourse worked is captured
Negetive time Management:
1. No clock times and assumed employee is working unless and until his or her absences are entered.
How is the process of getting data from time recording system to SAP how can we connect time recording system to SAP? How do we interface for positive time management?
To simplify:
We can consider two independent systems:
1. SAP System which contains Planned Working time
2. Time recorder system which contains the actual timings
Now as Time recorder system will contain all Clock in & Clock outs, the data needs to be uploaded to SAP system either as Scheduled job at back end or online in critical cases.
Based on our Time pair and other IMG settings in SAP System and comparison of IT2011 with IT2000, it generates values of OT,Absences etc etc.
This job can be effectively done in proper coordination with Basis, ABAPers and Time Consultants.
Under what circumstances, we shouldn't recommend for Positive Time Management?
>>>If the company has only salaried employees /exempt empls, where you dont record their OT, DT, etc..
>>>If Company has already another system which records time and can provide just total hours to be paid off in Regular / OT/ DT and also could update quotas
What are the major challenges for the client/end-user in using Positive Time Management?
>>>Integration between 3rd party system and SAP - Interface, logics
>>> Accruals and Quota
What would be the duration required to implement Negative TM?
>>> Few months *
What would be the duration required to implement Positive TM?
>>> Depends on volume diversity you have in time recording. May be between few months to a year.
What are the limitations of Negative TM?
>>> Detailed reporting may not be available in SAP and Posting Timesheets to CO/Billing would out of scope
>>> Also refer to SAP documents and presentation by clients in market place for more details
Can a client opt for both Positive & Negative TM?
>>> Yes you can

Oracle +ve time management vs SAP -ve time management

Hello Experts,
Currently our client is using oracle where if any employee works more than his planned time and any extra hours, it automatically shows the OT hours and upon his manager approval this will be included in payroll.
As ESS in scope with negative time management, what would be the best way to do this.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thanks in advance.
Yusuffd

Hi Yusuff,
No exactly like this. No need to enter any data manually. System can generate it.
In fact IT2007 has OT allowance role in this scenario and the whole data will be in IT2011(clock-as in/out), IT2002 (as an attendance) or IT2001 (as an Absence).
Based on manager approval system will break record of IT2007 into two separate record. One as approved overtime and second as unapproved overtime(or extra work).

Difference between a positive time and negative time management.Explain with screenshots.

Hi gurus!
I would like to know the difference between Positive time management and negative time management.
thx & regards,
raju

Hi Nagaraju,
I am adding more information..
Whether or not an employee is on positive or negative time is determined by the time management status on IT0007. Status 1 or 2 = positive time; status 9 = negative time.
In a standard system, positive time recording means the employee is required to record time (absence or attendance) for any day on which he is scheduled to work according to his generated work schedule. Negative time recording means an employee does not need to record time unless he has an exception to his normal working time; so absences are typically recorded as well as overtime or time work on days for which the employee is not scheduled to work.
Schema TM00 is used to process positive time employees for whom clock times are entered; that is, every record has a start and end time.
Schema TM04 processes both positive and negative time employees. The key distinction between TM00 and TM04 is TM04 does not require start and end times on every entry. Records with start and end times cna be processed in TM04. However, the records do not require these entries.
In TM04 you will see code using IF, ELSE, ENDIF statements during the import process to separate the import of time data for positive and negative time employees.
Positive time employees use the following data import statements in the schema:
P2011 Import IT2011 records to TIP; regardless of whether the EE has IT2011, load the work schedule to TZP. If no IT2011 record exists, TIP is empty.
P2001 Load absences
P2002 Load attendances
Negative time employees use the following data import statements:
P2000 This is the critical difference between positive and negative employees. P2000 loads the daily work schedule to the TIP table as if the employee workede; that is, if the employee is scheduled to work from 8:00 to 17:00, this record will now appear on TIP. The work schedule details are also added to TZP.
P2001 Load absences -- to pick up exceptions to planned working time
P2002 Load attendances -- again to pick up exceptions, special costing information, overtime, alternate payments, premiums or any other variation from normal schedule work.
So if you want to determine if you are using positive or negative time, check the time management status on the employees.

Upload Time Events to SAP System

Our client is not using any standard SAP approved time swap in-out machine, they have a locally manufactured machine installed at the factories. Client need to implement Positive time management. On daily basis a text file will be generated from Time machine that need to upload into SAP system. This file contains all the In-Out timings of employees at work, this may also contain the error data like double In or double out, only In, only out etc.
We tried to confess them to check the data before uploading to SAP, client is not ready for that, since data is heavy.
Our understanding:
Using Report RPTCC106 we can upload the time events data from non-sap to SAP through logical systems using IDoc then post the time data using report SAPCDT45. We can check all incorrect time data from Time management Pool, then all corrected data will be posted to table TEVEN and IT 2011.
But we are unable to process these steps.
Can you please recommend us the best practices for implement the positive Time management in these scenarios.
Thanks in Advance

UNABLE TO GET SALARY BASED ON HOURS ( POSITVE TIME MANAGMENT )

Hi Vivek,
Your document was great.
I am implementing positive time management and at present i am entering the clock in and clock-out in IT-2011 manually for testing and when i run PT60 using TM00 schema it was not showing any errors but data in 'ZL' it was showing as no entries.
And to cross check i have executed 'PC00_M40_CALC' but the payroll was caluclated based on no. of days( negative tm).
I am new to TM concept please help me out.
Thanks,
Saikrishna.

Hi,
Here are some answers/comments to your question above.
1. You should not make any changes in schema TM00 (Standard SAP Schema) - copy this to a custom schema (ZM00) in transaction PE01 and add logic/make changes in this custom schema.
2. Entries will not automatically be created in the ZL table just because you have IT2011 (Table TEVEN) entries. ZL entries are created either through PCR logic, or via table T510S (Wage type generation) entries. These are both very complex Time Management concepts that require a lot of studying and understanding in order to take raw data and generate the appropriate wage types at the appropriate time. This is important because based upon raw clock in and clock out's alone the system does not know if it should generate regular hours, overtime, double time, holiday pay etc - you have to do the configuration to tell the system what to generate and when to generate it.
3. As far as your issue within the payroll driver (Basic Salary being created on the basis of number of date) - I believe this could be based upon either wage type setup or your Pay Scale configuration and this associate's Infotype 8. You probably have him setup like a salaried associate. Check the following area in the IMG Personnel Management --> Personnel Administration --> Payroll Data --> Basic Pay
Good luck on your journey to learning SAP Time Management/SAP Payroll.
Thanks,

Attendance type for training in negative time management

Hi,
We are using negative time management. Attendance Type T-Training is created. I have specified in the integration switch PLOGI-TIME 1 and specified the attendance type in SEMIN-APART. But even when I firmly book a business event, the attendance type is not stored in the attendances of the employees who are booked to the training event.
Is the attendance stored automatically when the business event is firmly booked in negative time management? Or this is applicable only to the Positive Time Management?
Please help.
Regards,
Sasi.

Hi Dear,
In "Specify Attendance Types" node under Integration with Time mgmt in TEM node in SPRO. Kindly check the following points:
PLOGI,,TIME,,1,,Integration switch: Training and Event Mgmt/ Time
SEMIN     AINST     "value as maintained in Time Managment" for Attendance type for instructor in T554S
SEMIN     APART   "value as maintained in Time Managment" for Attendance type for instructor in T554S
SEMIN     TIMEP    According to your requirement
kindly check the value for the above two field under
Time Management --> Time Data recording and Administration --> Attendance/Actual Working Time --> Define Attendance Type
and check the value maintained Trainee Attendance and Trainer Attendance. Following is maintained as default.
01     0420     Trainee Attendance
01     0425     Trainer Attendance
let me know if you have any issues.
Thanks and Best Regards
