Summer Work Schedule

Question

Hi all,
I am a SAP HCM Consultant. I face a problem. In most of the companies in spain, the employees have established a reduced work schedule for the months in summer. For example:
Summer Schedule (S): 8:00 to 14:00
Other Months Schedule (O): 8:00 to 14:00 and 15:00 to 17:00.
The options I managed up to now to implement this are:
In the work schedule rule create an interval for the summer months assigning the summer work schedule, for example:
           - 01.01.2011 to 31.05.2011 Other Months Schedule
           - 01.06.2011 to 31.08.2011 Summer Schedule
           - 01.09.2011 to -
            Other Months Schedule
The user himself creates a record for infotype 0007 for the summer months with the summer Work Schedule.
Both have the same problem, it has to be done every year, either in customizing (option 1) or by the user in the masterdata (option 2).
Do you know if there is a way to create this kind of schedules in an automated way?

Answer 1

Hi Angel,
You have to proceed with two Work Schedule Rules in this case. The same approach is taken for companies in Middle east for a seperate working times during the Ramadan season.
You can assign this new workschedule in IT0007 using a BADi or an LSMW as Praveen suggested. In that case the IT 0007 will have 2 records in an year. for example from April to August its a summer shift and September to March its a normal shift.
