Time Management - Time Recording System

Hi,
I want to connect time recording system to sap hr- time management for payroll. According to actual time overtime, leaves & payroll has to run.
I have used TMS is 9. Please anybody guide me in this ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Sunitaos,
Read the following steps:
1. Time recording system (legecy system/time recording terminal) records time events (Employee arrival, short leave, official out, etc) and store it in .text file or in access database.
2. ABAPER (SAP programmer) maps this .text or .mdb file to Time Recording Information Infotype IT2011.
3. Run Time Evaluation Driver RPTIME00
4. RPTIME00 segregate each time event and store it in respective infotypes. for example Absence is recorded in Absence IT IT2001, Attendence in IT2002, overtime in IT2005
5. Now use Time Management Status in Planned Working Time InfoType IT0007 to integrate Time Management with payroll. You can use TMSTA feature to store default value for Time Management Status. The possible values are:
0 No time evaluation
1 Time evaluation of actual times
2 PDC time Evaluation
7 Time evaluation without payroll integration
8 External services
9 Time evaluation of planned times
6. As you have set the Time Management Status to value 9; this means your Time Management is integrated with payroll. And as you run RPTIME00, this time evaluation driver generates Time Wage Types besides segregating time events. Time Wages Types are evaluated in payroll.
Hope your question is answered, dear.

What are the major challenges for the end-user in using Positive Time Management

Hi Seniors,
Can anybody please provide me some data on the same.
Thanks.

Hi,
Positive time management is slightly difficult to implement compared to negative time management.
In negative time management, you use planned working times + deviations in time evaluation.
In positive time management, you record actual times through time recording system. You have to bring these times to SAP through an interface and then evaluate the actual times against the planned times and accordingly pay them out. You would need to pay attention regarding the integration between SAP R/3 and time recording system.
Building rules for positive time management is slightly more challenging compared to negative time management.
Kindly go through the below documents on positive time management which will give you more idea about the same.
Integration of Time Recording Terminals with SAP R/3
Determination of First Clock In & Last Clock Out in Positive Time Evaluation
Late Coming, Early Going and Unauthorized absence
Prorated Grant of Absence Quota for Contract Period in Time Evaluation
Splitting of Overtime Hours after X Hours in Time Evaluation
Rounding off Overtime Hours Generated via T510S table in Time Evaluation
Public Holiday Calendar and Work Schedule Rules
I hope these are helpful to you.
Thanks and regards,

Attendance type for training in negative time management

Hi,
We are using negative time management. Attendance Type T-Training is created. I have specified in the integration switch PLOGI-TIME 1 and specified the attendance type in SEMIN-APART. But even when I firmly book a business event, the attendance type is not stored in the attendances of the employees who are booked to the training event.
Is the attendance stored automatically when the business event is firmly booked in negative time management? Or this is applicable only to the Positive Time Management?
Please help.
Regards,
Sasi.

Hi Dear,
In "Specify Attendance Types" node under Integration with Time mgmt in TEM node in SPRO. Kindly check the following points:
PLOGI,,TIME,,1,,Integration switch: Training and Event Mgmt/ Time
SEMIN     AINST     "value as maintained in Time Managment" for Attendance type for instructor in T554S
SEMIN     APART   "value as maintained in Time Managment" for Attendance type for instructor in T554S
SEMIN     TIMEP    According to your requirement
kindly check the value for the above two field under
Time Management --> Time Data recording and Administration --> Attendance/Actual Working Time --> Define Attendance Type
and check the value maintained Trainee Attendance and Trainer Attendance. Following is maintained as default.
01     0420     Trainee Attendance
01     0425     Trainer Attendance
let me know if you have any issues.
Thanks and Best Regards

Postings in SAP HR for creating delta records for Time Management

Hi Experts,
I am trying to test delta load for SAP HR Time Management Datasources. I am fairly new to SAP HR and need some help.
Where do we create postings in SAP HR for creating delta records which can be imported to BW. This is for the data sources 0HR_PT_1 and 0HR_PT_2.
Any help is appreciated. Will assign full points
Regards
Sunil Kumar.

Hi,
In order to test the above data sources you need to have some employee enter his time details or change the entered time details. That will create some delta records for the planned or actual times. CAT2 transaction should help entering the time details in SAP.
Hope it helps.

Time Management- Wrong Day Types coming when updating leave records

Dear Experts
Can anyone help me on what I should do to change my Day Type in Time management. The greatest challenge is that the system is not able to read the day type for Work/Paid. Despite that I have created my dailly working schedules, work schedule rule and my calender showing working and non-working periods, I still face a challenge when I want to give employees leave because the system says the whole period is a non working period. If I check in the employeeu2019s personal work schedule I notice that all the day types are Off/Paid hence that leave cannot be given especially if its vacation which does not count weekends and public holidays.
I am using the same customization as that I was using in the testing environment and was working fine but then in production, it is not. Where exactly can I check and change so that the day types are read correctly. When I run time evaluation, the system is accruing days normally but then it is picking Day type 1(one) in Table PSP
thanx

Hi,
For the daily WSR that you used (in table V_T550A) check that in Valuation section Daily WS class does not have value 0
Cheers

Ok it looks to me that there are more than 20000 rows in your backend system that have to be fetched.
You can change this limit in the Central Management Console . Login as administrator and go to Servers . Double-click on the Crystal Processign server and change the value in the field Database Records Read When Previewing or Refreshing (0 for unlimited) according to your needs. AFter the change you have to restart the Crystal processing server.

Change Time Management status

Hi All,
We have presently uploaded all the employes in the system with Time management status - zero. We would like to change the status from zero to 7 now.
Please suggest me the best possible way to achieve this. Total employees in the system are close to 70k.
Thanks,
Binu

Hey Binu,
As Rashid said correctly, TMSTA feature is used to default Time Management Status i.e when you create or change then it will default the TMSTA value. Its of no use to you.
I would recommend BDC method because for LSMW you will have to create a file and upload it.
Write the BDC using below logic.
1. Select the Active employees using PA0001-PERSK = 1.
2. Change (MOD) the TMSTA of IT 0007 to your requirement
Selection screen can have employee numbers.
Ask you ABAPer to record the screen using SHDB for changing the IT 0007 i.e
1. PA30 - select your EE - IT 0007 - Change
2. On IT 0007 you change TMSTA and SAVE
IT should be done in no time.
cheers

Infotype 0007:Time management status

Hi Experts,
In Infotype 0007 , in the time management status field i have maintained the value as " Time Evaluation of planned times".
What does this mean ? ....
Does it mean that absences and attendences are not necessary to create. Kindly help me how the evaluation takes places
in this scenario.
Thanks in Advance,
Balaji

Hi,
This is SAP explanation:
Indicator 0 or BLANK:
The employee's actual times are not recorded, and his/her time data is not accounted using the time evalulation program.
Indicator 1:
The employee's actual times are recorded and he/she participates in time evaluation.
Example:
The employee's actual times are recorded at a time recording terminal.
The employee's actual times are recorded in the Attendances infotype (2002).
Indicator 2:
Employees' actual times are recorded and they take part in plant data collection. Their time data is accounted using the time evaluation program.
Example:
Employees' actual times are recorded using PDC systems.
Employees' actual times are recorded in the Attendances infotype (2002).
Indicator 8:
This indicator is intended for external employees. The employee's actual times are not recorded, attendances are recorded in the Attendances infotype (2002), and time data is accounted in time evaluation.
Indicator 9:
You can use indicator 9 for employees for whom only exceptions to the work schedule are recorded. In this case, the employees' actual times are not recorded, but they do participate in time evaluation.
Cheers

Time management status and Payroll

Experts,
We are using TMS as 9 (Time evaluation of planned time) in IT0007. What does it mean in TM?
What is it's impact in Payroll.
Regards
Sk
Edited by: s k on Nov 17, 2008 10:24 AM

You can assign the following Time Management statuses in the Planned Working Time infotype (0007):
Time evaluation with planned times (0): Employees with this status are not selected for time evaluation. They cannot therefore be processed in time evaluation. The employeeu2019s time wage types are determined in Payroll time data processing.
Time Management Status for processing time data in Time Evaluation and passing on time wage types formed there to Payroll
Time evaluation of actual times (1) and Time Evaluation PDC (2): Employees with these statuses have all their actual times, that is, all attendance and absence data, recorded*. It makes no difference whether attendance times are recorded at time recording terminals or in the Attendances infotype (2002).
Time evaluation with planned times (9): These employees have only the deviations from their work schedule recorded for them. The employeesu2019 planned working times from their personal work schedule are used as the basis for time evaluation.
Time Management Status for processing time data in Time Evaluation without passing on time wage types formed there to Payroll
Time evaluation without integration with Payroll (7): You use this status to run time evaluation to handle special time accounts u2013 to accrue absence quotas, for example. It makes no difference whether all of the employeesu2019 actual times are recorded or only the deviations from the work schedule.
The system stores the results of this time evaluation run in cluster B2, which enables you to run reports on the data, for example. The results are not passed on to Payroll. The time data processing part of Payroll treats the employees as if they had the time management status No time evaluation (0).
External services (8): Status for external employees. It makes no difference whether all of the employeesu2019 actual times are recorded or only the deviations from the work schedule. The results of time evaluation are transferred to Materials Management (MM-SRV), and are not passed on to
and also check the feature TMSTA once in peo3

Time Management Status

Hi Experts,
Im relatively new to this fourm, and also to Time Management Module.
We are implementing Negative Time Management for our client.
Have a clarification with Time Management Status.
I have suggested '0' to be defaulted as it is going to be Negative time management.
Just for my understanding would like to know the difference between the time management status 0, 7 & 9.
Also we have LWOP and Holiday Wages in place.
your expert answers awaited...
Cheers,

Time Management Query

Hi Guys,
What is the real use of Shift Group in time management
Hi Guys if i want to connect my sap software with other software to collect data employees Clock in/Clock Out time what will be th e procedure in IMG to connect with subsystem,so that the data would upload in 0050 it

Hi Surjit,
If the Time Recording system is a SAP certified one then there can be a direct link with our SAP system and this will have to be taken care by ur technical team and the vendor.
If the Time Recording system is not an SAP Certified system then the data has to be downloaded in a falt file and has to be put in the application server and this can be scheduled as a background job so that the time pairs will be moved to IT2011.
Thanks

HR-PDC , Time Management Interface Question

Hi,
I am involved in a project that links Kronos Time Management system with SAP 4.6C . Since Kronos is certified for standard interface HR-PDC, we can use it for integration without patch-work.
For more information, go to <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/sdnservices/icc">this link</a> and on the right hand side, select Human Resources from Integration Scenarios -> Business Application Integration. Select HR-PDC from the list of interfaces available for HR.
There are a few concerns though, the most important being related to transfer of HR mini-master data. It is mentioned in the interface documentation that SAP always sends complete master data for all employees and that deltas are not supported.
Now, the customer has around 50,000 employees and sending data for each one of them every night doesn't seem to be a workable solution, especially when only 30-50 records change in a day. I understand that sending deltas can be accomplished through some tweaking, I am wondering why the standard interface won't support them, knowing the fact that all historical (delta) information is available from cluster PCL4.
Although I understand that SAP themselves are in a better position to answer the question of why the interface is like that, I am asking if anyone experienced any short-comings with sending delta information. For example, perhaps the number of scenarios for which delta was to be transferred were too many and sending complete information was more suitable. So if anyone has had previous experience of working on HR-PDC, please shed some light on their experience.
Secondly, is there a standard interface to record and send changes in Organization and Staffing (create, modifiy, delete) to a sub-system? I am talking in relation to t. code PPOME. Is HR-OCI the right interface for that???
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. It was quite helpful.
It is fine to download time balances but downloading whole employee (mini)master data each day is a bit difficult to explain to stakeholders. Perhaps I may need to create my own driver program that populates data for modified employees only. Thoughts??? Is this the correct approach???
As far as the second one is concerned, I am interested in downloading new/modified OM records like departments, jobs, positions, etc. It seems the same can be catered for by using HR-PDC through business object RCVPEVTREC, method receivePObject. I perhaps overlooked the interface specs.
Thanks again and I may get back with more questions.

Negative time management to positive time management

Hi Experts
our client is following negative time management now. They would
like to implement positive time management from now onwards.
please suggest how i'll do this for my client.
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly, your client has to decide how the entry exit timings of the employees are going to be captured, and then load them into SAP. The timevents will be updated in IT2011.
One way is to have a third party capture all the events from recording terminals located on the site, have a RFC to get these events to SAP. The time events can then be uploaded into the infotype table TEVEN (IT2011). These programs shud also be scheduled in the backgrnd to run either daily or after sum intervals of time.
In config,
You will have to change the groupings of PS & EE for time recording,
Change the time management status for these employees,
change the feature TMSTA to default the same status for new employees to be hired.
Maintain IT0050 for all employees. (necessary for +ve time)
Change the grouping for Attendance / Absence types
Have to check whether system reactions for time pair formations in system are as per clients requirements
Modify the time mangement schema (with clock times) according to the requirement.
Schedule a background job so that time evaluation is run for all employees once a day. (usually scheduled during the night)
These are some of the changes that I can think about right now hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Shreyasi.
