Quota generation issue

Question

Hi Friends,
We are trying to generate a specific quota for selected employees by using Time evaluation. Now the requirement is to generate the quota from the time evaluation period start date till the end date of FY.
I.e.
Quota 10 - 01.04.2010 to 31.03.2011 - 2.5
Quota 10  - 01.05.2010 to 31.03.2011 - 2.5
We had assigned a time type with the quota & generating with the time evaluation internal calculation result from period balance table.
But the issue is seperate line items for every month is not getting created. Instead the quota is getting increased or replaced in the same line item.,
Would appreciate your quick help on this...
Thanks
NK

Answer 1

This functionality is as per SAP standards because, ideally, one would not run time evaluation for May in April. Time evaluation is to be run every day till the end of that day (or till the end of the current month). So when we look at your scenario in that light, we get the following results:
April run:
Quota 10 - 01.04.2010 to 31.03.2011 - 2.5
May run (it adds the quota to the April row item):
Quota 10 - 01.05.2010 to 31.03.2011 - 5.0
If the scenario in your organisation is to run time evaluation up to the current date or current month only, don't worry about this aspect. As long as evaluation is not run for future periods, you should not have an issue.
If, however, you want to run evaluation for the entire year in advance (something which should not be done), you can still try the following work-around:
1. Modify user exit HRPTIM03 - go into one of the implementations - maybe 005 or 008, can't recall;
2. Take the assistance of an ABAP consultant to pass the rule that - when the quota is generated, it's validity start date and deduction start date values are to be changed to the date of generation. This is the only way by which a new row item will be generated in IT 2006 (and the ABWKONTI cluster table) instead of appending the quota into the existing row.
