TM00 or Tm01

Hi ,
If i want to capture employees deviations form work schedule should i have to use TM04 or TM01 ?
only i know about TM04 which captures deviations but is TM01 is also used for the same? if not what is the difference between TM01 and TM04 ?
---Akhil.

Hi Akhil,
If u are using both positive and negative then better to go with TM04.This will help u .
P2000 is a getting the planned pairs and valuation is done comapring with that.
Function P2000 places the employee's current daily work schedule in
the internal table TZP. It also places a time pair according to the
planned working times of the day in table TIP. This pair is
described as a planned pair.
Hope its clear now.
As per ur requirement go with TM04 and if u are having any issues then let us know
You can close the thread

  • Want to know the difference among the sap standard schemas TM00/TM01/TM04

    hi, experts
    i have read the standard courses HR310 and HR311,but i am still confused about the difference among the three standard TM schemas TM00,TM01 and TM04.
      i only learn from the book about it as follows:
      TM00: Time evaluation with time events
      TM01: Time evaluation for work schedule deviations
      TM04: Time evaluation for times entered as hours.
    i want to know the details about different forms of time data and different strategies in evaluating the time data in the three standard schemas.
       thanks in advance

    Hi,
    TM01: read the actual data, Automatically calculate the overtime with the help of events.
    TM04: Negative time evaluation, Get the data from the Work schedules
    TM01: Positive/Negative time evaluation: Read the exception of workschedules, get the data from the time events form the 2011IT.
    TM01:
    Schema TM01 can be used for time evaluation if you only record
    exceptions to the work schedule, and not all times that count as working
    time (actual times).
    You can use schema TM01 to import and process time data that has been
    recorded online.
    The schema forms time balances, time wage types, and time quotas, and is
    processed using the time evaluation driver, RPTIME00.
    The valuation basis for time evaluation forms a planned pair, which is
    generated according to the planned specifications in the employee's
    personal work schedule.
    The planned pairs generally correspond to the time worked. Only
    attendances from infotype 2002 and absences from infotype 2001 result in
    a difference between planned and actual.
    Schema TM01 automatically generates overtime for all attendance times
    recorded over and above the planned specifications in the personal work
    schedule. If overtime is recorded in infotype 2005, it can be approved
    systematically taking account of overtime breaks.
    TM00:
    Schema TM00 processes time events that have been recorded at a time
    recording terminal, or the time pairs formed from the time events in
    pair formation. Attendances and absences are also imported.
    Schema TM00 is based on positive recording of time data, that is,
    recording all times that count as working time (actual times).
    Schema TM00 only evaluates time data with clock times (or full-day
    records). The main task of schema TM00 is to classify the actual times
    by comparing them to the planned specifications in the daily work
    schedule (start and end of planned working time, core times, breaks, and
    so on).
    TM04:
    The time worked by the employee is recorded in the Attendances infotype
    (2002), and not as clock-in and clock-out times. When processing
    clock-in/out times, the emphasis is on the length of time between the
    postings and not on the times at which the postings were made.
    You can use schema TM04 to process attendances and absences that specify
    a number of hours only, rather than concrete start and end times.
    The times stipulated in the daily work schedule are not relevant. Only
    specifications such as planned hours and minimum daily working time are
    evaluated from the daily work schedule.
    TM04 caters both for negative time recording (recording of exceptions to
    the work schedule) and positive time recording (recording all
    attendances or actual times).
    If negative recording is used, the planned hours are generated on the
    basis of the daily work schedule. Recorded absences and some attendance
    times are deducted (see schema TP01.)
    The "Time Management status" indicator in the Planned Working Time
    infotype (0007) shows whether all actual times are recorded for an
    employee, or only exceptions to the planned specifications.

  • Change to Time Schema TM00

    Hi Guys,
    I have a requirement at my client's place in which we have to do overtime based on 40 hours a week calculation, i have checked in IMG and tried to include TPOW but didnt calculate overtime on running time evaluation.We use Time evaluation for clocked times TM00.
    Can someone tell me which PCR to change or include and also if anyone has any document on how to change time Schema please share it with me.

    If it is for Overtime Compensation POVT function will be used which will call personnel Caculation rule TC40. In TC40 time wagetypes are checked for Processing class specification and Valuated accordingly.
    Specification
    A- remuneration
    B-Time in lieu of overtime
    C- Time in lieu of overtime, calculated by a factor derived from the sum of %records of overtime  wagetypes and derived wagetypes
    D,E,F- depends on overtime compensation type
    Other- Wagetype is transferred without affecting the overtime timetypes.
    Prior to POVT, GWT function generates time wage types and store planned working time wagetype in DZL table and Overtime wagetypes in ZML table
    Have u customized the schema?

  • PCR - RPTIME00 - TM00 - how to find of exceeding of the working day

    Hello,
    I'm new in RPTIME00 I need to write a PCR - schema ZM00 (TM00) that find of exceeding of the working day and generate wage type 1506 for cluster B2?
    For example employee works:
    MO: DWS=06:00-14:00
    TU: DWS=06:00-14:00 but TI2011=04:00-14:00
    The point is that I must generate wage type only for time par 04:00-06:00 without generate of WT for overtime (M)
    I though that I need generate WT from PCR with ADDZLS1506 for example... but in this case I need to find exceeding of the working day
    Any ideas?
    I tried with this:
    APD1      *   ****           HRS=D0061
    APD1      *   ****           HRS?S
    APD1      *   ****  >        GCY APD2
    APD2      *   ****           OUTWPTIMER
    APD2      *   ****  1        HRS=SNTB  
    APD2      *   ****  1        HRS?PBEG
    APD2      *   ****  1 >      HRS=PNUM  
    APD2      *   ****  1 >      HRS?CTEPOL
    APD2      *   ****  1 > >    HRS=PNUM                    
    APD2      *   ****  1 > >    HRS?0
    APD2      *   ****  1 > > >  ADDZLS1506

    Thanks for answer but I don't need generate overtime beyond the planned working hours in the end of month. I have WT in PY for additional pay for "exceeding of the working day" (this is not overtime but ... salary supplement? My english is not good enough, sorry).
    I don't need approval for overtime (via 2007 and GOT...) which give me "M" pair type for this case (WT1506). I don't need them. Opposite this I need to find:
    previous day was free or not?
    when was a free day, I don't have to generate 1506
    when is a working day, I have to generate 1506
    My PCR generate WT1506 correctly but on every day where I have start hour (2011) before start working time from DWS.
    Maybe the point is how to find the previous day was free or not?
    Do you know how to do it?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Overtime calculation in TM00.

    Hi Experts,
    I am implementing positive time management and requirement for overtime calculation is as follows:
    if employee works number of hours more than his/her daily work schedule the overtime wage type should get generated for the excess hours.
    e.g. employee's daily working hours are 8 hrs (9 to 6 with 1 hour unpaid break) and if he/she works till 9 in night but he/she was out off the office for 1 hour from 4 to 5 then only "2" hours overtime should get calculated.
    currently 3 hrs overtime wage type (1OVT) is getting generated using GWT M ZML.
    For work around I thought of keeping this 3 hrs OT as it is but creating one more deduction wage type (1DDC) for absence hour (pair 4 to 5) I have assigned the processing type as "A" for this pair type using V_T555Z and define the generation rule for generating the wage type fpr this in V_T510S but function DEFTP is changing the processing type of this absence hour pair to "S" again because of which the wage type (1DDC) is not getiing generating.
    Please suggest how to proceed with this. If you have any other solution please suggest.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Time Management - Processing Type, Schema TM00 and Absence Type

    Just like to understand how the processing type is use in TM. Where do we tight the processing type to the absence type? How the schema make use of processing in the time evaluation processing?
    Appreciate some sharing on this topics. TQ.

    HI
    In the TIme evaluation , you can write your absences or LOP in time wage types or create FM to add the LOP day to 2001 .
    Rest of the devaiations can be put in time wage types and can be read in payroll .

    &#61550;The HR module is a true demonstration of the strength of the SAP product in Enterprise Resource Planning. 
    The Human Resource module is comprised of major areas of functionality known as submodules.The HR system has very strong integration points (where data is passed back and forth without human data entry) with just about all of the other SAP modules.  In addition, there is very tight integration amongst the HR submodules.
    INFOTYPES:
    To begin with , let me give you  a small overview on the HR Infotypes .
    Infotypes are the units of information in the Human Resource Management System .
    Infotypes are used to group related data fields together. They provide information with a structure, facilitate data entry, and enable you to store data for specific periods.
    USE :
    Recording employee data for administrative, time recording, and payroll purposes is of primary importance for master data administration in HR. In the SAP System, the information units used to enter master data are called infotypes.
    Structure
    Infotypes are characterized by the following:
    •     Infotype Structure
    •     Data Entry
    •     Time-Dependent Storage of Infotype Data
    Infotype Structure
    To the user, infotypes appear as data entry screens. They contain whole series of information (for example, last name, first name, date of birth) that you enter in data fields. Data fields concerning the same or similar subject matter are combined into data groups or information units.
    In database terms, infotypes represent a data structure or set of related data records. When you update an infotype, old data is not lost but is instead stored in the system for historical evaluation purposes.
    Time-Dependent Storage of Infotype Data
    When you update an infotype, the old data may not be lost. Instead, it must be retained so that past data can be evaluated. When you update an employee´s personal data, the old data is automatically time-delimited. The system creates a validity period for each infotype record. As a result, each employee infotype has several data records that differ from each other by their validity periods.
    Time Constraints in HR Master Data 
    The concept of Time Constraints is very important in HR ABAP . This is due to the fact that all the infotype records are Time Delimited which is to say that  all the records are valid only for a particular time frame .
    When you update an infotype, old data is not lost but archived for historical evaluation. The system records a specific period of validity for each infotype, This enables the system to store more than one infotype record at the same time, even if their validity periods overlap. This means that the time relationships between infotype records must be defined. The concept of time constraints enables you to do this.
    HR master data uses the following three time constraints:
    •     Time Constraint 1
    For the entire time that the employee works at the enterprise, exactly one valid infotype record must exist. The validity periods of the individual records must not overlap. If a new record is created, the system automatically uses the start date of the new record as the delimitation date of the old record. Gaps are only allowed between the employee’s entry date and the start date of the first record.
    Time constraint 1 must be used for all of the infotypes containing information that must be available at all times. This is particularly true of personal and organizational assignment data.
    If a record is delimited because of time constraint 1, the system displays an appropriate message.
    •     Time Constraint 2
    No more than one valid record can exist at any one time. Records with constraint 2 must not overlap. Their existence is not obligatory. If a new record is created, the system automatically delimits the previous record, if one exists.
    If a record is delimited because of time constraint 2, the system displays an appropriate message.
    •     Time Constraint 3
    Any number of valid records can exist at any one time. The individual records do not conflict with each other.
    BASIC FORM :
    INFOTYPES nnnn.
    Each info type has a formal description in the ABAP Dictionary as structure Pnnnn
    nnnn between 0000 and 0999: HR master data info types
    nnnn between 1000 and 1999: HR planning data info types
    nnnn between 2000 and 2999: HR time data info types
    nnnn between 3000 and 8999: Not yet used
    nnnn between 9000 and 9999: Customer-specific info types
    Effect
    Declares the HR info type nnnn . Creates an internal table as follows:
    DATA BEGIN OF Pnnnn OCCURS 10.
      INCLUDE STRUCTURE Pnnnn.
    DATA END OF Pnnnn VALID BETWEEN BEGDA AND ENDDA.
    Example
    INFOTYPES: 0000, 0001, 0002.
    Addition 1
    ... NAME c
    Effect
    c is a name up to 20 characters long. Creates an internal table as follows:
    DATA BEGIN OF c OCCURS 10.
    INCLUDE STRUCTURE Pnnnn.
    DATA END OF c VALID BETWEEN BEGDA AND ENDDA.
    Example
    INFOTYPES: 0005 NAME VACATION, 0006 NAME ADDRESS.
    Addition 2
    ... OCCURS occ
    Effect
    occ is a number for the OCCURS value. Creates an internal table as follows:
    DATA BEGIN OF c OCCURS m.
    INCLUDE STRUCTURE Pnnnn.
    DATA END OF c VALID BETWEEN BEGDA AND ENDDA.
    Example
    INFOTYPES 0003 OCCURS 1.
    All the Repository objects required for the infotype have been created. The relevant infotype specific table entries in tables T777T (Infotype texts) and T778T (Infotypes) have been maintained by the infotype copier. The user has maintained the relevant entry in T777I (Infotypes per object type).
    Infotype Groups
    Definition
    An infotype group, or info group, is a sequence of related infotypes that are displayed one after the other for maintenance purposes when a personnel action is performed.
    Use
    The infogroup guarantees that during the personnel action, all information needed for the business processes is stored.
    Structure
    An infogroup exists in the standard system for every personnel action type in the Personnel Actions section.
    In Customizing for Personnel Administration, you can modify the relationship between individual infogroups and define the infogroups as user-dependent.
    In the standard system, different types of employee data are stored in individual infotypes. Rather than accessing each infotype individually and entering data into them, the system can group together the most important infotypes into personnel actions and lead you through processing the employee data.
    Personnel actions
    Personnel procedures, such as hiring an employee, organizational reassignment, or an employee leaving the enterprise are represented by individual personnel actions in Personnel Administration. Each personnel action contains the infotypes that you must maintain to record the personnel action at hand. The infotypes are retrieved in succession so that you can maintain them. For example, all the fields in which you need to make entries to hire an employee will be offered to you for maintenance automatically by the system in the personnel action Hiring.
    This ensures that all the core data is entered into the system. This function also facilitates entering data as you do not need to access each infotype within the personnel action individually .
    Example : ORGANISATION INFOTYPE(0001)
    The Organisational Assignment (0001) deals with the incorporation of the employee into the organizational structure .
    We can display the infotypes from the transaction PA30(Maintain HR Master Data) .
    Goto PA30 .
    Enter the Personnel No . and the infotype no . in the places shown and then

                        LOGICAL DATABASES:
    After this brief discussion on INFOTYPES let us now concentrate on the HR PROGRAMMING BASICS and in General and Logical Databases in Particular .
    Hierarchy of a Logical Database
    Logical databases are programs that read data from database tables and pass it to other programs for processing. The order of reading the database tables is determined by a hierarchy.
    Many tables in the R/3 System are linked using foreign key relationships. Parts of these relationships form tree-like hierarchical structures. Logical databases allow you to read data easily from database tables that form parts of these structures. The logical database F1S has the following hierarchy:
    Transaction SE36 .
    When reading the tables, the system first reads one element of table SPFLI. Then, it reads the first element of the subordinate table SFLIGHT that, according to the foreign key relationship, belongs to the first element of table SPFLI. Then, it reads all elements of table SBOOK that belong to the first element read from table SFLIGHT. Next, it reads the second element of table SFLIGHT and all corresponding elements of table SBOOK. This step is repeated until the system has read all elements of table SFLIGHT that belong to the first element of table SPFLI. Then the system reads the second element of table SPFLI and the entire procedure starts again. This procedure is repeated until the entire hierarchy has been processed.
    Logical databases contain Open SQL statements that read data from the database. You do not therefore need to use SQL in your own programs. The logical database reads the program, stores them in the program if necessary, and then passes them line by line to the application program or the function module LDB_PROCESS using an interface work area.
    Structure of Logical Databases
    A logical database is made up of three components .They are:
    •     Structure
    The structure defines the data view of the logical database. It determines the structure of the other components and the behavior of the logical database at runtime. The order in which data is made available to the user depends on the hierarchical structure of the logical database concerned.
    •     Selections
    The selections define a selection screen, which forms the user interface of the executable programs that use the logical database. Its layout is usually determined by the structure. You can adapt the selections to your own requirements and also add new ones. When you link a logical database to an executable program, the selections of the logical database become part of the standard selection screen of the program (screen number 1000).
    The database program contains the ABAP statements used to read the data and pass it to the user of the logical database. The structure of the database program is a collection of special subroutines. It is determined by the structure and the selections. You can adapt the database program to your own requirements and also extend it.
    Other components such as documentation, language-specific texts, and user-defined selection screens extend the functions further.
    Structure
    The structure of a logical database is usually based on the foreign key relationships between hierarchical tables in the R/3 System. Logical databases have a tree-like structure, which can be defined as follows:
    • There is a single node at the highest level. This is known as the root node.
    • Each node can have one or several branches.
    • Each node is derived from one other node.
    The nodes must be structures defined in the ABAP Dictionary or data types from a type group. Normally, these are the structures of database tables which the logical database reads and passes to the user for further evaluation. However, it is also possible, and sometimes useful, to use ABAP Dictionary structures without an underlying database. For technical reasons, the maximum number of nodes allowed in the structure of a logical database is 300.
    Any executable ABAP program that has a logical database linked to it can contain a GET statement for each node of the structure. When you run the program, the corresponding event blocks are processed in the sequence prescribed by the hierarchical structure of the logical database. If a program does not contain a GET statement for every node of a logical database, the processing passes through all the nodes that lie in the path from the root to the nodes specified by GET statements.
    Logical Databases - Views of Data
    A logical database provides a particular view of database tables in the R/3 System. It is always worth using logical databases if the structure of the data that you want to read corresponds to a view available through a logical database.
    The data structure in a logical database is hierarchical. Many tables in the R/3 System are linked to each other using foreign key relationships. Some of these dependencies form tree-like hierarchical structures. Logical databases read data from database tables that are part of these structures.
    Retrieving Data Using a Logical Database
    After you have specified the logical database in the report attributes, you can access the database in the program. In the declaration part of your program, declare the tables you want to access in the program using the TABLES statement, as described in the SELECT Statement section. This provides the work areas for passing the data from the logical database to the program. The system also configures the selection screen to include fields from the tables you specified.
    The program of the logical database places the data from the database tables into the work areas created by the TABLES statement. The logical database then triggers an event. In your program, you catch this event using the keyword GET with the corresponding table name. If, for example, the logical database just filled the work area of table SBOOK, it triggers the event GET SBOOK in your program. The system then executes the statement block belonging to this event.
    A statement block starts directly after the event keyword and ends at the next event keyword or at the end of the program.
    GET EVENT
    This is the most important event for executable programs that use a logical database. It occurs when the logical database has read a line from the node  in the hierarchy. You should therefore not use these fields in your program or call subroutines that work with them .
    The following program is connected to the logical database F1S.
    REPORT EVENT_DEMO.
    NODES: SPFLI, SFLIGHT, SBOOK.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      WRITE 'Test Program for GET'.
    GET SPFLI.
      SKIP.
      WRITE: / 'From:', SPFLI-CITYFROM,
               'TO  :', SPFLI-CITYTO.
    GET SFLIGHT.
      SKIP.
      WRITE: / 'Carrid:', SFLIGHT-CARRID,
               'Connid:', SFLIGHT-CONNID.
      ULINE.
    GET SBOOK.
      WRITE: / 'Fldate:',    SFLIGHT-FLDATE,
               'Bookid:',    SBOOK-BOOKID,
               'Luggweight', SBOOK-LUGGWEIGHT.
      ULINE.
    The table work area SFLIGHT is also used in the event block for GET SBOOK. Depending on what you enter on the selection screen, the beginning of the list display might look like this:
    In the logical database F1S, the nodes SFLIGHT and SBOOK are designated for field selection. This means that you can specify a field list in their GET event blocks:
    REPORT EVENT_DEMO.
    NODES: SFLIGHT, SBOOK.
    GET SFLIGHT FIELDS CARRID CONNID.
    GET SBOOK FIELDS BOOKID.
    GET SFLIGHT LATE FIELDS PLANETYPE.
    In this case, the logical database reads the following fields:
    •     MANDT, CARRID, CONNID, FLDATE, and PLANETYPE from SFLIGHT
    •     MANDT, CARRID, CONNID, FLDATE, and BOOKID from SBOOK
    The system reads the fields MANDT and FLDATE from SFLIGHT, even though they are not specified in the field list, since they belong to the table key.
    Only the key fields of SBOOK are read.
    PROVIDE
    PROVIDE Syntax Diagram
    Basic form
    PROVIDE f1 f2 ... FROM itab1
    g1 g2 ... FROM itab2
    FROM itabn
    BETWEEN f AND g.
    See PROVIDE - ENDPROVIDE not allowed .
    Effect
    Retrieves the contents of the specified fields from the internal tables (itab1, itab2 , ...) and places them in the table header lines within the required range. Also executes the processing block enclosed by the PROVIDE and ENDPROVIDE statements for each range.
    Note
    For itab1, itab2 ... only tables with header lines are allowed.
    Effect
    Basic principle:
    The diagram below illustrates the functionality of the PROVIDE statement for the most simple case where just two tables A and B are to be processed:
    IA1 IA2
    |----
    | |----
    | table A
    : IB1 : IB2 : :
    : |----
    | |----
    | : table B
    : : PROVIDE area : : :
    ...|----
    |...
    :TI1: TI2 :TI3: : TI4 : TI5 : TI6 :
    ...|-|---|-| |-----|-|---|...
    result ranges
    The data structures which form the basis for the table lines must each contain two components which can be interpreted as a range (e.g. start date and end date). In the diagram, the ranges belonging to the entries in table A are marked with IA1 or IA2 , and those in table B with IB1 or IB2. If you split the ranges of both tables into overlapping and non-overlapping ranges and then form the intersection with the PROVIDE area, this results in 6 sub-ranges TI1 to TI6. In these sub-ranges, the values of the tables A and B are constant. The PROVIDE statement makes the contents of the tables A and B available for the 6 sub-ranges, one after the other. It thus acts as a kind of loop where the data of the tables involved can be processed with reference to each range.
    Effect
    General principle
    Each of the specified internal tables has two fields which contain the line-related validity range. You can determine these in the
    DATA statement with the addition "VALID BETWEEN ... AND ...". If this addition is not used, the first two sub-fields of the table determine these range fields (corresponds to VALID BETWEEN first field AND second field). These fields can be date fields, time fields or number fields. Both these two fields and also f and g should be the same type.
    PROVIDE splits the range f to g into sub-ranges so that each of the fields (f1, f2, ...) specified for each table is constant in this range and so that each sub-range is as large as possible (range limits are considered part of the range).
    Each time the processing passes through the loop, the current range limits and the specified sub-fields are placed in the header lines of the internal tables. If you want to make all sub-fields available, enter '*' instead of the field list. The unspecified sub-fields are set to their initial value (
    •     CLEAR).
    It is a requirement that the ranges within a table are in ascending order and not overlapping. However, there can be gaps between one upper range limit and the next lower range limit.
    For each table itab1, itab2 ... , the automatically generated fields itab1_VALID, itab2_VALID , ... indicate (with 'X' or blank ' ') whether a suitable entry was found for the current sub-range.
    Example
    The entries in the table SE, PR and SH contain time ranges and are filled as follows:
    DATA: BEGIN OF SE OCCURS 3,
    FROM TYPE D,
    TO TYPE D,
    NAME(15) TYPE C,

    BEGIN OF SH OCCURS 2,
    CLOSED TYPE D,
    STR(20) TYPE C,
    OPENED TYPE D,
    END OF SH VALID BETWEEN OPENED AND CLOSED,
    BEGIN TYPE D VALUE '19910701',
    END TYPE D VALUE '19921001'.
    SE-FROM = '19910801'. SE-TO = '19910930'.

    result ranges
    This PROVIDE loop is executed 7 times and produces the following sub-ranges:
    o     01.08.1991 - 31.08.1991
    o     01.09.1991 - 30.09.1991
    o     01.10.1991 - 04.10.1991

    o     01.12.1991 - 15.03.1992
    o     18.03.1992 - 01.08.1992
    o     02.08.1992 - 01.10.1992
    •     In most of the loop passes, the fields SE_VALID, PR_VALID and SH_VALID contain 'X' . The exceptions to this are the 1st loop pass, where PR_VALID contains ' ', and the 3rd loop pass, where SE_VALID contains ' '.
    Field contents (header lines) during the third loop pass:
    SE-FROM = '01101991'
    SE-TO = '04101991'
    SE-NAME = ' '
    SE-AGE = 0
    PR-START = '01101991'
    PR-END = '04101991'
    PR-PRICE = 0
    PR-NAME = 'Car'
    SH-CLOSED = '04101991'
    SH-STR = 'Gold Avenue'
    SH-OPENED = '01101991'
    o     Notes
    •     Strictly speaking, if you imagine each range as a short way of writing a set of single values, this is an "outer join" of the tables.
    o     After ENDPROVIDE, the contents of the system fields SY-INDEX, SY-TABIX and SY-SUBRC are undefined.
    o     Neither the header lines nor the actual table lines of the table specified with PROVIDE should be changed between PROVIDE and ENDPROVIDE. Otherwise, the PROVIDE results are undefined.
    Provide the Last Entry in the Period
    Use
    Use the following programming utility to place the last entry in a required period (this can be a for a subtype) in the table header entry from an internal infotype table.
    Macro: RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST
    You define the macro using the keyword INFOTYPES.
    You use macro RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST in programs for the logical databases PNP and PAP where the last data record for a period (can be a subtype) is read from an infotype table. The infotype table has been filled earlier (for example, with GET PERNR or RP_READ_INFOTYPE). This macro is only helpful if the infotype (or subtype) has time constraint 1 or 2.
    Prerequisites
    •     The validity begin date of the time period must be before or the same as the validity end date.
    •     Validity start and end dates are correct (preferably of the type DATE).
    •     The infotype table is sorted in ascending order. Otherwise, you would receive the last fitting table entry that might not necessarily correspond to the last time entry.
    Features
    The macro RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST makes sure that the last entry for a specified period is placed in the table header entry of the report output list.
    Parameters
    RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST inftytab subty beg end
    IN :     1) Name of the internal table
         2) Subtype required or SPACE if no subtype is being specified
         3) Validity begin date of the time interval
         4) Validity end date of the time interval
    OUT:     1) PNP-SW-FOUND: has the value 0 if there is no matching entry in the infotype table in the given time period. Otherwise it has the value 1.
         2) The matching table header entry if PNP-SW-FOUND = 1 or
    the cleared table header entry if PNP-SW-FOUND = 0
    Check
    None
    Example
    (RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST inftytab subty beg end)
    RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST P0021 '1' PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA.
    IF PNP-SW-FOUND EQ '1'.
    or
    RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST P0001 SPACE PN-BEGDA PN-ENDDA.
    IF PNP-SW-FOUND EQ '0'.
    WRITE: / 'Error: Org. assignment is missing'. REJECT.
    ENDIF.
    The module PROVIDE-FROM-FINAL, which is not implemented, is a special case of PROVIDE-FROM-LAST:
    PROVIDE-FROM-FINAL inftytab subty beg end =
          RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST inftytab subty end end
    Leaving Event Blocks Using CHECK
    If you use the CHECK .
              PROVIDE * FROM P0002
                  if ... then ...endif.
              ENDPROVIDE.
    •     Changing Infotypes - by using RMAC (macro) RP-READ-INFOTYPE. 
    • Three steps are involved in changing infotypes:
    1. Select the infotype records to be changed;
    2. Make the required changes and store the records in an alternative table;
    3. Save this table to the database;
    The RP-UPDATE macro updates the database. The parameters of this macro are the OLD internal table containing the unchanged records and the NEW internal table containing the changed records. You cannot create or delete data. Only modification is possible.
    INFOTYPES: Pnnnn NAME OLD,
    Pnnnn NAME NEW.
    GET PERNR.
        PROVIDE * FROM OLD
               WHERE .... = ... "Change old record
               *Save old record in alternate table
               NEW = OLD.
        ENDPROVIDE.
        RP-UPDATE OLD NEW. "Update changed record
    Function Modules in HR
    Function modules are program modules which have a defined interface and allow type testing of parameters.
    They are managed with transaction SE37 and combined to function groups according to relevant criteria. You can access this transaction under Tools &#61614; ABAP Workbench &#61614; Function Builder.
    The HR function groups use the naming convention RPxx or HRxx where xx is an identifier of your choice.
    You can use the SHOW FUNCTION * editor command to branch from report processing to function module display.

Complete PD functionality is available, which means you can work with all types of infotypes and record statuses, etc.
    Dialog (Program): ABAP/4 program that allows the user to perform a certain task (transaction). A dialog program consists of screens, a module pool (i.e., type “M” ABAP/4 program) and a transaction code (call). In general, there is also a user interface that allows the user easy access to a number of functions. (In contrast to reports, a dialog program is normally started with a transaction code or is often incorporated into an area menu.)
    Dynamic Action: Combines related infotypes into groups. Depending on the data entered, the system will generate subsequent infotypes.
    Earliest Recalculation Date: This is set for each employee and also at the payroll control level. The higher of the two dates is used.
    Employee Group: The employee group allows for the division of employees into groups that define their relationship within the company. In personnel administration, the main employee groups are active work force, temporary employees, and retirees
    Employee Subgroup: Employee subgroups are subdivisions of the employee group, which allow for further definitions of the employee according to their status. Such  as, within the active work force, a distinction can be made between union , non-union, salaried, hourly, trainees and executives.
    Employee Subgroup Grouping for Collective Agreement Provisions (CAP): Allows selective assignment to the various pay scale groups. You can combine employee group/subgroups under this grouping customizing in the following categories:
    (1)     Industrial workers /hourly wage;
    (2)     Industrial workers /monthly wage;
    (3)     Salaried employees;
    (4)     Non-pay scale employee.
    Within these groupings, pay scale groups and levels can be defined per scale type and pay scale area. Can be used for indirect valuation on an hourly or monthly basis.
    Employee Subgroup Grouping for Personnel Calculation Rule (PCR): Allows selective assignments to various pay scale groups. You can combine employee groups/subgroups under this grouping using customizing in the following categories:
    1.     Hourly Wage Earners.
    2.     Monthly Wage Earners.
    3.     Salaried Employees
    The meaning of these groups are fixed and may not be changed. The PCR is required for Payroll Accounting and is used for indirect valuation of wage types and infotype 0008, Basic pay.
    Employee Subgroup Grouping for Primary Wage Type: Combines employee subgroups for eligibility for Primary wage type usage. Allows you to restrict specific wage types to certain employees group and subgroup.
    Enterprise IMG: The Enterprise IMG is the top-level filter for the SAP Reference IMG. It is generated by selecting the business application components and countries to be implemented (all projects).
    Evaluation Class: Similar to a processing class. Evaluation classes are used for post payroll processing. (i.e., assigning a G/L account number to a wage type)
    Factoring: Proration process for salaries.

    Human Resource Master Data: Employee-related data, which remain relatively constant during the course of time. Example includes personnel number, name, address, bank data and social insurance number.
    Hiring: A personnel action in which all the data relevant to the entry of a new employee is recorded, such as name, address, personnel number, activity, cost center etc.
    IMG: Implementation Guide. List of all the actions required for the SAP system and helps control and document the process. The IMG is used to do the actual parameter settings. It provides a GUI-supported, menu-led approach, and offers recommendations and explanations for what the system expects at each stage. Default settings are provided to facilitate configuration.
    Infotype:  A system information unit within the HR module. Infotypes represent a group of related data fields, provide information structure, facilitate data entry, and allow time-dependent storage of data. For example, information on a person’s city of residence, street and house number combines to form the employee’s address, and is therefore stored (along with other data fields) in the infotype “Address.”
    Infotype Groups: An infotype group is a set of infotypes processed for a particular personnel action. An infotype group can be dependent on a user group so that only certain infotypes are processed for a particular group of users.
    Information Subtype: In information type (infotype) can be divided into subtypes. Foe example, family data can be broken down further to represent spouse and children. Each subdivision group is known as a subtype.
    Jobs: Jobs are general classification of positions that exist within a company.
    Modifiers: Used in rule KMOD to set value ranges for tables. The following tables use modifiers:
         MODIF1 = T510S Wage Types constant
         MODIF2 = T510J Constant Valuation
         MODIF3 = T030 Fixed Accounts
         MODIFA = T554C Absence Valuation
         MODIFB = T51D1 Limits for Deductions
         MODIFC = Valuation Basis for month-end accrual
         MODIFD = Wage Type Processing with regard to month-end accrual
         MODIFW = T510S Wage Type Generation
    The modifiers allow you to set a specific range of table entries for different groups of employees.
    Operation: Operations are building blocks for rules. They are used to process wage types.
    Organizational Structure: Organizational Structures reflect organizational hierarchies and interrelationships for employees. They are composed of the following substructures: company structure, personnel structure, pay scale structure, wage type structure.
    Organizational Unit: Organizational Units define the different employee groups (business areas) within a company (e.g. departments). Must be linked to one another to produce a hierarchical structure for the company.
    PA (Personnel Administration and Payroll Accounting): The SAP Human Resources Management system is divided into two main areas of configuration: PA and PD. In PA, the organizational hierarchies and  their control functions are defined using a system of control tables (which means that company structure and personnel structures can be set up independently of one another). The subsets of the implementation guide for PA consists of:
    •     Personnel Administration;
    •     Benefits;
    •     Recruitment;
    •     Time Management;
    •     Payroll.
    Pay Increase (Simple versus Extended):
    Simple: Uses report RPU51000 to increase wage types in customizing.
    Extended: Can define variant to use for increasing standard pay which add or delete wage types or replace existing ones. The variants include:
    •     A – increase a wage type to an absolute amount;
    •     C – delimit an existing wage type;
    •     D – increase by a difference;
    •     E – valuate according to another pay scale group;
    •     G – increase total pay by an absolute amount;
    •     R – replace one wage type by another;
    •     T – add a new wage type.
    Pay Scale Area: Geographical area in which a pay scale or a collective agreement is valid. Two-digit code, setup in customizing and stored in PA country grouping. Used as default values for pay types and groups lined to the personnel subarea (see infotype 0008). Within a pay scale area, pay scale groups and levels can be defined per pay scale type and indicator.
    Pay Scale Group: Provides a classification criteria for work and indirect valuations. Defined per PA country grouping, pay scale type, pay scale area and employee subgroup grouping for the collective agreement provision.  The most important control features of pay scale groups and levels is checking the validity of entries in infotype Basic Pay (0008) and infotype Wage Maintenance (0052) and assigning payments for indirect valuation of wage types.
    Pay Scale Types: Area in which pay scale or collective agreement is valid. This pay scale or agreement may be determined at company or trade union level. Two-digit code maintained in customizing and stored by PA country grouping. Pay scale groups and levels can be defined within a pay scale type per pay scale area and employee subgroup grouping for collective agreement provision.
    Payroll Accounting Area (a.k.a. Payroll Area): The payroll area is a grouping for payroll runs. It is assigned to employees using feature ABKRS, which is based on the organizational assignment (infotype 0001). The payroll area identifies which payroll run (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.) will process an employee.
    Payroll Driver: The payroll program RPCALCK0 is used to perform complete payroll runs on a period-by period basis and store results.
    Payroll Status: Infotype 0003. It is used to keep track of last payroll run for an employee; retroactive activity and error indication.
    PD (Personnel Planning and Development): The SAP Human Resources Management system is divided into two main areas for configuration: PA and PD. In PD an organizational plan is developed to depict a company’s structure. It will include information about the individual positions, the reporting structure (or chain of command) and positions. Position information will include the types of job performed, the work centers, (physical locations) where jobs and positions are carried out and the different types of tasks performed. The subsets of the implementation guide for PD consists of:
    •     Personnel planning and development global settings;
    •     Organizational plan;
    •     Seminar and convention management;
    •     Personnel development;
    •     Shift planning;
    •     Room reservation planning.
    Period Parameter: Determines payroll area frequency.
    Personnel Actions: The personnel action function groups together all infotypes necessary to input a particular personnel procedure, such as hiring a new employee. Each action includes the infotypes for which it is essential that you enter data, and allows you to process them sequentially. This ensures that all data relevant to particular personnel procedure is recorded in the system.
    Personnel Area: Personnel areas are used solely in Personnel Administration and are defined with a client. Each personnel area must be assigned to a company code. The personnel area allows you to generate default values for data entry, for example, for the payroll accounting area. The personnel area is a selection criterion for reporting. Personnel areas form a unit in authorization checks.
    Personnel Subarea: Personnel Subareas are the last element in the company structure. Respective country-specific control features are stored here Specified grouping for Time management; which allows, for example, work schedules as well as substitution, absence and leave types to be setup on a personnel subarea specific basis. Default values are generated for pay scale types and area for an employee’s basic pay. A holiday calendar is specified. Personnel subarea-specific wage types per personnel area are defined.
    Personnel File: The personnel file gives user the ability to access all infotypes for a particular personnel number. The infotypes are displayed in infotype sequence.
    Position: Jobs are further described by position. Positions are specific roles performed by individual in the company.
    Processing Class: Processing Classes are stored in the table T512W and is used in rules to determine which version of the rule should be selected for a particular wage type.
    Rte, Num, Amt: The elements of a wage type.
    Rule: Controls how wage types are processed during payroll processing. Rules consists of operations.
    Schema: Series of sequential processing steps for payroll and time evaluation. Main schemas include;
    •     K000 Canadian accounting payroll schema for RPCALCK0;
    •     TM00 Main schema for Time Management;
    •     TM01 Time evaluation schema for exceptions to the work schedule;
    •     TM04 Time evaluation schema without clock time.
    Split Indicator: Derived from WPBP. Splits will ensure accuracy during payroll processing. Splits occur when there is a change in one or more of the infotype in the WPBP table.
    Subschema:  Contains processing steps needed by payroll. Subschemas are called from main schema using function “copy”.
    Symbolic Account: Interface between a wage type and general ledger account number. Symbolic accounts are assigned to wage type in T512W.
    Technical Wage Types:  Wage types that are calculated or used by payroll. Technical wage types start with a “/”.
    Time Constraints: Time constraints are configured for each infotype. They serve as guidelines for when and how many records of an infotype you can maintain. Class 1information must exist, and only once for the life span of the object; Class 2 – information is optional, but it can exist only once in any time period (non-continuous or continuous); Class –3 information is optional and many record can exist during any time period.
    Time Types: Used in time evaluation to store balances formed from employee attendance and absence times.
    Time Wage Type: Time Wage Types are the wage types that need to be evaluated because they carry only a unit (i.e. hours, days, etc.).
    Total:  Stores the total amount of a deduction with a balance. The total amount is calculated in payroll.
    User Group: A user group defines a set of employee. User group are used when customizing the SAP HR system. The system can be customized so that the user group can determine the screen, infotypes and fields accessible.
    Validity Dates: The validity period of an object and any infotype must be defined. Each infotype uses beginning and end dates to identify the infotypes validity period.
    Valuation Basis: Technical wage types /00 (i.e. /001). The total amount is calculated in payroll.
    Valuation Class Rule: Assigned to absence to determine how they will be processed in payroll.
    Wage Type: Wage type refers to a four digit identifier for values (amount, number or amount per unit) which are necessary for calculating an employee’s wage/salary. Wage type represent deduction, earning or tax codes.
    Wage Type Classes: Wage type classes are used for deduction limit processing.
    WPBP: Table that contains data from infotypes;
    •     0000 – Actions;
    •     0001 – Organizational Assignment;
    •     0007 – Work Schedule;
    •     0008 – Basic Pay;
    •     0027 – Cost distribution.

  • Schemas used in TM,PA & OM

    HI Expert,
    Can you please provide the standard schemas using in TM,PA & OM
    Thanks in advance
    ANISH

    Hi,
    We have not used schemas in OM and PA.
    We used in Payroll and Time.
    Payroll schemas are vary country to country like for India-IN00, US-U000,Singapore-R000.
    Time wise we have five schemas:
    TM00,- Positive time evaluation/Time Evaluation with Personnel Time Events
    TM04,- Negative Time evaluation/4 Time Evaluation Without Clock times
    TM01,- Time Evaluation for Work Schedule Deviations
    TM02,- Time Evaluation for External Services Management
    TQTA- For generate the absence quotas
    If you want see the all schemas go for "PE01" t.code
    Good luck

  • Time valuation with and without clock times --- Plzz help

    hi experts
    Please help me by explaining the following.
    1) Please explain me the differnces between time valuation with
       clock times(T555Z) and time evluation without clock time(T555Y).
    2) Please explain the differences in time types and processing types and functions procedure used  in time                evaluation with clock time and in time evaluation with out clock times.
    3) What is the major differences in the schema between time evaluation with clock times and with out clock   time?
    Thanx in advance for help and Points will be rewarded in full.
    regards,

    WITH CLOCK TIME
    It processes time data that has been imported to the SAP system from time recording subsystems and data that has been recorded online. Those time events (in/out timing) will be stored in 2011 which will be used in schema processing.
    Without clock time
    to evaluate the time data of employees who enter only exceptions to the work schedule. Processing in this component assumes that times are expressed as the duration of work, and not the start and end times of work times and employee absences
    Clock times are not required for evaluation of time data
    T555y is used for processing work times  (function Types)
    T555z is used for breaks processing in time schemas (function Types)
    2. NO difference in the way they are used
    3. Schema TM00 (clock times) is a standard schema, used to evaluate employee time data that has been recorded at time recording terminals and that specifies clock times.
    Schema TM01 is a standard schema used to evaluate the time data of employees for whom only deviations from the work schedule are recorded.

  • Where to configure the pcr

    For my requirement of payroll I need to write a Pcr can any body guide me to do so, and can u guide me where it I can configure for better functioning.
    My requirement is calculate the food allowance and conveyance
    allowance on daily basis, if the employee is absent on the day he might eligible to get the allowance.
    thanks
    Roopesh

    Hi
    It is better to write a PCR in time Management to get the number of days an employee is absent for a month in a time wage type....pass this time wage type to payroll where another PCR calculates the amount to be deducted or paid based on the number of days the employee has worked.
    PCRs can be accessed thru T PE02 ....time management PCr to be insterted in time evaluation schema(TM00/TM01/TM04) and the payroll pcr should be placed in right place with in payroll schema(IN00)
    hope this explanation helps
    cheers

  • How to create PCR in SAP HR?

    i am certified sap consultant working  as a fresher so i dont hav any idea about how to create a pcr can anyone help me out with the basic start of Pcr and how pcr is created?

    Hi Ravi,
    In SAP HR we can write PCR's for Time management and Payroll.
    Time management is country independent:
    For Time Mgmt
    Schemas TM00 TM01 TM04
    There will be loads of PCRs in it,.
    Payroll is country dependent, every country is having one type of payroll Schema
    For Example India IN00 etc
    Please go through this below attached thread, this will help you....
