Hi Archana,
Attendances are used to record the actual hours worked by an employee. 
Define Attendance Types: In this step, you define attendance types for a personnel subarea grouping for attendance/absence types. It also describes how to determine the system reaction to attendances recorded for a day or a period when the employee has time off.
IMG --> Time Management --> Time Data Recording and Administration --> Attendances/Actual Working Times --> Define Attendance Types.
Rules for Attendance Counting (New): In this step, you determine rules for attendance counting using the new tables.
IMG --> Time Management --> Time Data Recording and Administration --> Attendances/Actual Working Times --> Attendance counting --> Rules for Attendance counting (New) --> Assign Counting Rules to Attendance Types.
Define Counting Classes for the Period Work Schedule: In this section, the settings for attendance/absence counting are made. Counting classes for PWS are used to evaluate absences& attendances. Use different counting classes for PWS. When you maintain a counting class you must define a separate rule for each Counting class.
IMG --> Time Management --> Time Data Recording and Administration --> Absences --> Absence Catalog --> Absence Counting --> Define Counting Classes for the Period Work Schedule.
Define Absence Quota Types: In this step, the valid absence quota types (entitlement to time off and leave types) for the employee subgroup and personnel subarea groupings for time quota types are defined. We define Absence quota, because, in this we define unit of time measurement whether you want the entitlement to time off to be maintained in Hours or in Days.
IMG --> Time Management --> Time Data Recording and Administration --> Managing Time Accounts Using Attendance/Absence Quotas --> Time Quota Types --> Define Absence Quota Types.
If attendances are recorded in detail, you can assign the hours worked by a particular employee to specific orders or cost centers, and to maintain data on business trips, meeting. It is also possible to record all attendance times manually in the Attendances infotype (2002). You can evaluate them using the time evaluation report.
I hope it will help you.
