Define Work Schedule Rule when Period Work Schedules are created

Question

Experts:
I am trying to configure a DWS and PWS for a given plant.  I am aware from a different network thread that this is a 11 step process.  I have created the following:
PSG= 03
DWS = 1
Breaks were defined
Created DWS of 1stI, 2ndI, and WNDI  (ist shift, 2nd shift, and weekend shift)
Verified day types are correct
Created the following period work schedules:
     WK     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
1STI     1     1STI     1STI     1STI     1STI     1STI     FREI     FREI
1STI     2     1STI     1STI     1STI     1STI     1STI     FREI     FREI
1STI     3     1STI     1STI     1STI     1STI     1STI     FREI     FREI
1STI     4     1STI     1STI     1STI     1STI     1STI     FREI     FREI
2NDI     1     2NDI     2NDI     2NDI     2NDI     FREI     FREI     FREI
2NDI     2     2NDI     2NDI     2NDI     2NDI     FREI     FREI     FREI
2NDI     3     2NDI     2NDI     2NDI     2NDI     FREI     FREI     FREI
2NDI     4     2NDI     2NDI     2NDI     2NDI     FREI     FREI     FREI
WKDI     1     FREI     FREI     FREI     FREI     WNDI     WNDI     WNDI
WKDI     2     FREI     FREI     FREI     FREI     WNDI     WNDI     WNDI
WKDI     3     FREI     FREI     FREI     FREI     WNDI     WNDI     WNDI
WKDI     4     FREI     FREI     FREI     FREI     WNDI     WNDI     WNDI
How do I define the rules to determine variant for monthly work schedule rule generation??
I am aware that X stands for that it is relevant to the calendar and that 1 = Monday - 7 = Sunday.
Can someone help  define the work schedule rules I need and what each code means??
Thanks,
Bobbie

Hi Bobbie,
1 . By Using variants you can make changes in normal working timings.....and these changes made in Table         V_T550X...conditions can be applied by using
         .........  Holiday Class
         .........  Holiday Class for the next day
         .........  Weekday
         .........   Variant
Holiday Classes :
Blank stands for -
Not a public Holiday
1 stands for        -
Public Holiday
2 Stands for       -
Half day Holiday
3-9 stands for    -
Customer specific Public holiday Classes
Variants of daily work schedule Selection rule 01 stands for :
   --- Standard variant  Blank
   --- variants A for work on Fridays
Variants of daily work schedule Selection rule 01 stands for :
   --- Standard variant Blank
   --- Variant A Work on Friday
   --- Variant B work on Public Holidays of Public Holiday Class 2
   --- Variant C work on days preceding Public Holiday Class 4
For ex: if ur company wants to treat second week of  Saturday is half day holiday for employees..then u can do this by fulfilling the fallowing conditions..
            ...  Select holiday class 2  in Holiday Class field by putting X
            ...   Holiday Class for the next day select each holiday class
            ---  Weekday - select workday as Saturday (6)
......finally create daily work schedule and attach the daily work schedule variant  to Daily work schedule (V- T550X to V-T550A)..then u assign ur daily work schedule to period work schedule,period work schedule to work schedule....
.......You can configure these  rules for any type of weekdays or weekends ...its depends on the requirement of client to client
........X represent applicability of holiday class in Holiday class and Holiday class next day & weekday...
2 . Come to selection rule.....In selection rule u can treat ur holiday class by using day type...ex ....if u want ur managerial category people won't get paid if they work on public holidays or Sunday...u can do this by using selection rules...
3 .  Personnel Time Management :
        --- Work Schedules
                        --- Define Public Holiday Class
Personnel sub area grouping for the work schedules and daily work schedule
  daily work schedule  .... Break schedule , Define rules for variants & daily work schedule
Define Period work schedule
Day types - Define day types,selection rules & Special days
Work schedule rules and work schedule
           .... Define employee sub group grouping  and  groupings for public holiday classes
           ....  Set work schedule rules and work schedules           
           .... Generate work schedules
Please take care of the grouping...
i think now u could the understand the concept now ....
Thanks & Regards,
