This module is also known as PT – Personnel Time Management

Time Management data considers information on the work performed by employees and their availability to work. Time Management in SAP HR provides you with a flexible means of setting up, recording, and evaluating working times.

There are two different methods for time management in SAP HR:

  • Recording only deviations from the work schedule - Only time data that represents an exception to the employee's work schedule is recorded (illnesses, annual leave, substitutions). This method is also known as Negative time management
  • Recording actual times - This method records all actual times (actual working times, clock-in and clock-out, absences). This method is also known as Positive time management

Employees’ time data is valuated in time evaluation. Time evaluation determines planned working times and overtime, creates wage types, updates time quotas, etc. The time wage types created during time evaluation are valuated in Payroll.

RPTIME00

RPTIME00 is a time evaluation program. You can execute it using transaction SA38 or SE38.

Time management status

You determine whether and how an employee is processed in time evaluation using time management status in Planned Working Time infotype (IT0007). Following are possible values:

  • 0 or blank - No time evaluation (means, that employee’s time data is not processed by time evaluation, so the time wage types are formed by Payroll)
  • 1 - Evaluation of actual times (means, all of the employee’s times are recorded, time data is taken from clock-in/out system)
  • 9 - Evaluation of planned times

Default values for IT0007

You can use two features to set default values (transaction PE03):

  • SCHKZ - Default value for shift indicator
  • TMSTA – Default value for Time Management Status

Time management infotypes

Following infotypes are specific for TM. You must remember that for the integration of time management master data records infotypes IT0001, IT0002, IT0007 (with appropriate Time Management status set) have to exist for employee.
You can maintain those infotypes using both transactions PA20 and PA30 or special for TM PA61
