Tutorial to setup SAP Work Schedules in HR module

SAP HR Time Management (SAP PT module) starts with work schedule rule configuration. You know there are positive and negative accounting rules in SAP, but both rely on work schedules – time intervals when an employee has to work. In other HR software, it named shifts, in SAP it is daily work schedules. Work Schedule rules are another story. These terms mess people, who have just started working with SAP time management. I decided to spend some time and explain you in details what is this. We will go through main steps in time management configuration one by one. And today we start with work schedules, sap time management infotypes, which use work schedules, and how to generate work schedule.

What you need to know about time management in SAP

Let me clarify, that time management is a very-very wide topic to discus. In my 15 years experience 90% of payroll consultants were not aware that time management is tightly coupled with payroll. They were not aware about time schemas and thought time is only absences and attendances appearing in their payroll logic. 

Well, it’s true and false the same time. We all understand time management is important to pay payroll when it’s paid based on hours worked. But we need time to calculate efficiency, track performance, do some analytics. There are a lot of areas where we need time in real life and SAP helps us. Did you know time could be transferred to Plant Maintenance or Controlling? Even project system module uses time hours. 

Basically we can split time management in three general topics or areas, name it.

First is work schedules and attendance management. Here we build work schedules for our employees, we track their attendances and absences. We account time quotas for vacations or allowed overtimes. It’s all look like maintaining data infotypes in odd PA30 transaction. There are few settings, nothing really complicated. Most complicated parts I’d say are to set data entry interfaces like PDC, PTMW, PP60, CATS, Fiori and others.On today market a lot of positions for time management consultant in SAP associated with this type of settings – just infotypes and interfaces, simple absence counting rules and leave quotas. It’s simple guys. With respect to time accounting.
