Interfacing time infotypes

Hello dear HCM colleagues,
Our company is thinking about a scenario for our SAP system in which we can receive "creation, deletion, changing and blocking" from time infotypes 0007, 2001 and 2006 from another external third party SAP HR system.
The basic idea behind this all is to let the external third party SAP HR system being the leadsystem for the support of leave processes but that we still need that infotypes for other processes in our own SAP system.
Does anyone have experience with such a scenario? What issues to think about? Process IDOC with program RBDAPP01 / transaction BD87 helpful in this scenario?
Help is appreciated.
Regards,
Robbert

Hi Anjinkya,
Thanks for your help. The payroll is in the third party SAP system so that is gladly not an issue.
If we use an idoc scenario how about the relationships between infotype 2001 and infotype 2006?
Is the deduction of infotype 2006 by infotype 2001 taken care of correctly throughout the IDOC proces? I think table PTQUODED is also needed for the deduction. What options we have to make sure that the IDOC processing will also take care of the deduction?
How about the right sequence in which records are processed by the IDOC? When deleting infotype 2006 in our system there should not be any related infotype 2001. What options we have to insure that first infotype 2001 is deleted before infotype 2006 is deleted when processing the IDOC's?
With kind regards,
Robbert

DIF Time infotypes: Availability of time infotypes in the decoupled infotype framework

Hi (fellow) experts,
My primary and most wondered question:
Does anyone out there has an idea on SAP schedule to release compatibility fix for time infotype (constraint Z) in the decoupled infotype framework?
Many of us lately talk about and use the decoupled infotype framework; I see many clients interested in HR-Renewal PAOM attractive interface but when question turns around time data I tend to change subjects)... HR Renewal 2.0 has awesome new features such as the Payroll Control Center and the possibility for dynamic action but still no access to time infotypes... Tricky to manipulate infotype 2010, 0416 data without accessing the backend system to correct payroll data... I don't even start on 2001 absence infotype..., etc...
I also have some question on the SAP official working model for certain PA infotype that update in background time data (e.g. 0080 for instance).
There are some country specific infotypes that bothers me a little bit because I don't understand the SAP working model behind it; it's about french infotype Work stopped (0424) which is a data entry screen for work incapacity derived from illness or accident at work that update infotype 2001 in the background.
Now if I take a detailed look at the decoupled class CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_0424 method SPECIFIC_INSERT_COMPUTATIONS for instance I can see how the specific logic to create infotype 2001 is nicely commented out in the code while in the backend both those infotype are completely integrated.
So what am I to understand: class is actively decoupled and I can use it but I will never have the same functionality that I have in the backend system? or is something else? same question apply to infotype 0080 under not only the french template, but UK, Spain... etc... , in the french version it updates both infotype 0424 and 2001 in the backend but I don't see nothing of the sort in the DIF even though there is an active specif FR convertion class (does not seems to be in working order and no infotype 0424 update anywhere nor of course 2001)...
Let me be clear: I think the DIF initiative is a great innovation from SAP; very easy to understand, manipulate and so much more versatile. It would be awesome if everything would be ready to use ... very powerful tool.
Thank you for time gurus!!!
Antoine

Hi Gurus:
Well well sounds like some effort in decoupling time infotype development has been released into EHP8.
At least I am able to see development class and FPM configurations for infotypes 2001, 2006, 3355... so even if not everything is ready I can now see things are well on the way!
Cheers.

Uploading data into Time Infotypes

Dear All,
I have a requirement wherein I need to upload data into time infotypes from an external source(file). The data is required to be uploaded into the relevant infotypes based on the content(attendance, absence etc.)
Can you please suggest a generic way of uploading data into time infotypes.
Thanks in advance,
Sujit.

Hi Sujit
You can either create a BDC report to upload the data or use FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to upload the infotype in your report

Why we can't use provide to retrieve Time Infotypes records?

Hi experts,
I read some meterials that in HR report we can not use provide statement in LDB to fetch time infotypes records,
use Loop instead,can anybody explain why and give a example.
Thanks.

Hi
For time infotype records use RP_READ_ALL_TIME_ITY
(RP_READ_ALL_TIME_ITY beg end)
   DATA: BEGDA LIKE P2001-BEGDA, ENDDA LIKE P2001-ENDDA.
   INFOTYPES: 0000, 0001, 0002, ...
                     2001 MODE N, 2002 MODE N, ...
     GET PERNR.
   BEGDA = '19900101'. ENDDA = '19900131'.
   RP_READ_ALL_TIME_ITY BEGDA ENDDA.
   IF PNP-SW-AUTH-SKIPPED-RECORD NE '0'.
      WRITE: / 'Authorization for time data missing'.
      WRITE: / 'for personnel number', PERNR-PERNR. REJECT.
   ENDIF.

Time infotype collision

Hi There..iam trying to generate absence quota. but after inputing the information i get error message saying ''Collision of time infotypes'.Can you advise why this happens..? and how to resolve it.

Collusion checks are done by system for internal accuracy and is configured by using *time constraint.*
simple example will be, you assign time constraint =1 , for both the attandance and abssences , and if you have already enterd absence for that day, the system stops and through an error or warning message(as configured in the backend) when working time are enter on the same day.
so check time constraint.
HOPE THIS HELPS
Thanks and Regards.

Time Infotype !

Hi Experts,
1. Shall we use 'Provide' Statement for evaluation Time Infotypes(2000-2999) ?
2. Why can't we use Join and Projection statements For TIme infotypes ?
I read from SAP help, that we can't use since time data depends on validity period.As far my knowldge, all the infotypes records hav validity period.! Could you explain me with some example ?
3. Provide statement is useful for looping Infotype tables with parameters.Does it hav any other special functionality in comparison with Loop statement.
RgDs,
Jothi.P

Hi Jothi,
use this macro for all time infotypes

To retrieve the data of time infotypes is there any fm

hi,
I need one function module to retrieve the data of all time infotypes.
thanks & regards,
Sekhar.

Hi Chandra,
I couldn't remeber any function module which would retrieve the Time data, But you can use the macro
RP-READ-ALL-TIME-ITY to fetch the data from time infotypes.

Aironet 1100 series web interface times out after few mins of inactivity

Hello,
I just upgraded an Aironet 1121G access point to IOS software version 12.3(8)JEC2 (file name: c1100-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEC2). I noticed that the HTTP web interface now times out after an inactivity of just a few minutes (dont have an exact number, but it times out between 2-4 mins of inactivity). Can this timeout period be changed..!? How? This wasnt happenning on the previous software version: 12.3(8)JEB1.
Also, where can I find the online help files for the latest Cisco IOS software? I cant seem to find it on the Cisco website!
Thanks much for all your help.. really appreciate it.

Does anyone have any idea on this..!? Its terrible having to login every couple of mins..!
Thanks :)

Time constraint of time Infotype 2006

Hi all,
I have a requirement wherein In IT2006 same record should not be created on the same date. For eg. if I create a record in IT2006 for its subtype "Leave Encashable" on 01.04.2014 and again I am creating it on 01.04.2014, It is not restricting me to do so. It is accepting and creating the same record.
I checked the settings in table V_t544y and V_544y_b, but I am not able to find out where actually I need to make changes.
Looking forward for a reply.
Tnx
Megha

Check in table V_T582A. Currently it might be maintained as Z. See the below options:
1
Record must have no gaps, no overlappings
2
Record may include gaps, no overlappings
3
Record may include gaps, can exist more than once
A
Infotype exists just once from Jan.1 1800 to Dec.12 9999
B
IT exists for maximum of once from Jan.1 1800 to Dec.12 9999
T
Time constraint is based on subtype or subtype table
Z
Time constraint for time management infotypes -> T554Y
But this is SAP Standard Infotype, and making any changes in Standard Infotype is not advisable.

Time constraint class for Time infotype

Hi all,
Where is the table to create a new time constraint class? I know how to link the reaction rules, but not how to create a new digit?
Thanks

Hi,
Please maintain table V_554Y_B for 2005 TC class 00 and 2004 infotype.

Enhance time infotype

Hello All,
How can I create a new field for infotype 2001 ? I read some documentation and it said that infotypes 2nnn can't be enhanced.
Can I append CI_2001 structure to the infotipe?
thanks in advance
Enrique V.

According to SAP Time Management Infotypes CANNOT be enhanced. I think the bottom line is that if SAP didn't include a CI_PXXXX on an Infotype you can't enhance it.

Reaction to Overlapping Time Infotypes for different countries

Hello Guys,
I'm faced a problem, I'm in global implementation to different countries and I need to set up Reaction to Overlapping to Infotype 2001, but I can not because the time constraint classes are allready in use in other sites (V_554Y_B and V_Q554Y)
Please, how can I solve this situation?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Lima,
You can create more ranges.
For this, goto SM30 -> V_T554Y and say "New Entries".

CAT2 to HR Infotypes - time gaps causing collisions

Hello,
Employees are entering, and then changing attendance times and absence times in CAT2. Once they enter times and those times are transferred via CAT6, they are slotted into the day. If the employee changes those hours (for example, changes 3 regular hours to 2 regular hours, and 3 vacation hours to 4 vacation hours, the 4 vacation hours will not get to HR.
Ex: type      entered     shows up in 2052
       REG       1             8:15 - 9:15
       REG       3            9:15 - 12:15
       REG      .5            12:15 - 12:45
       REG      .5            12:45 - 13:15
       VAC       3              13:15-17:00 (.75 UPD BRK)
Employee realizes he has to take 4 hours vacation so changes:
       REG       1             8:15 - 9:15
       REG       2            9:15 - 11:15       (lose an hour after this!)
       REG      .5            12:15 - 12:45
       REG      .5            12:45 - 13:15
       VAC       4             WILL NOT POST - CAUSES COLLISION, even tho it is the same 8 hours.
Is there any way to get the system to re-slot all times, other than making the employee delete all time, save and get out, and re-enter the entire day?

Hi Raj,
       As I haven't seen any configuration by which we can auto transfer the approved time sheet to the time infotypes, you need to check for background jobs which executes the programs RCATSTAL(Tcode: CATA) or RPTEXTPT(Tcode: CAT6) in your system. These programs needn't be scheduled directly but can also be called from some custom programs which are scheduled in the background. Hence please check the current background jobs which are scheduled in your system. To ensure that the transfer is not driven by a background job, can you try to replicate the scenario in a quality or development environment where there are no jobs scheduled?
Since you have mentioned workflow in your post, could you please elaborate a bit more on the scenario here:
Are you entering the time data directly in SAP R/3 system using CAT2 transaction or via some application deployed on the portal which uses some BAPIs to post the data to the back-end system?
How does the manager approve the time entries? Does he use CAT4 or from the UWL(Universal Work List) on the portal?
If it's portal based approval, then there must be some workflows performing the transfer. You need to identify the step in the workflow after the approval step to see how the transfer is implemented and modify the specific workflow step to suit your need accordingly. You can either use the transaction SWIA to get more details on the workflow tasks being executed or seek the help of a workflow consultant in this case to get more information on the different steps in the workflow.
Thanks & Regards,
Sarath.
