How time evaluation creates time types?
What are the tables or the info required to create time types?
Time types play an important Part in Time Evaluation:
1) They help in creating the TIME ACCOUNTS for the employee.
Once the Time evaluation is run we get time wage types
which are set to payroll for calculation of remuneration for the employee
and also we get Time types which are used to show time accounts (with the
help of Time balances) for the employee.
Time types store time balances.
Let me give you an example:
Say time type-0002 (Periodic balance)
If a particular employee worked 10 hours. In a day that 10 hours is stored in ZES (Daily Balance) AND Total cumilation for the whole month say 200 hours in SALDO (Monthly Balance), the whole balances are Put in a Time Type.
V_T555A - used to view time types for a particular period.
These time types are stored in cluster B2
There is one more thing like, Time types and the
Processing types are combined to form Pair which is used to calculate over
time, form absence pair, attendance pair etc. You can see in detail
if you go to T555Z (Time type determination).
How do we see the results stored in time types?
Abs/Att types are entered in CATS or IT 2001/2002.
When you run Time evaluation, these Abs/ Att types are
converted into various "time types".
Time types usually contain time balances. E.g. Time type
xxxx-Reg hours,
Time type yyyy-over time hours.
Time type:zzzz-vacation taken etc.
It is not always a 1:1 relationship. It depends on your needs. Time types can be stored as a daily balance (Table ZES, of B2 cluser) and as cumulative balance (Table SALDO,of B2 cluser). So for e.g. Time type ZZZZ-vacation taken has a daily value on the day vacation was taken (e.g. 8hrs), but also in SALDO it stores the cumulative value e.g. on 31 Jan 2013 the value of TT zzzz, could be 40hrs (in case the person took 5 days off over Jan 2013).
These "time types" are then "converted" into "wage types" (done in Time eval). These "wage types" are stored in table ZL of B2 cluser. (to check B2 cluster, run txn PT66 for an employee).
These wage types are your link to Payroll. When Payroll runs, it picks up these wage types from the B2 cluster and processes them accordingly in Payroll.
