The following conditions must be fulfilled before you can work with the Time Evaluation component and evaluate your employees’ time data:
Customizing Settings for Work Schedules and Time Recording
The employee’s planned specifications form the basis for working with time evaluation. They must stipulate exactly which days of the year an employee must work, and for how many hours or at which clock times. These specifications are made within the framework of work schedules and time recording. Before you can start working with time evaluation, you must have already

• Created a public holiday calendar

• Created and generated work schedules for your employees

• Defined attendance and absence types, and so on

Employee Master Data
The following master data infotypes must be maintained before you can work with time evaluation:

• Organizational Assignment (0001)

• Personal Data (0002)

• Planned Working Time (0007)

• Planned Working Time infotype (0007): The Time Management status

The Time Management status must be set in the Planned Working Time infotype (0007) before you can evaluate an employee’s time data. This indicator determines whether employees participate in time evaluation, and if so, what method of evaluation applies.


The standard values for the Time Management status are as follows:

0	No time evaluation
1	Time evaluation (actual)
2	Time evaluation PDC
7	Time evaluation without integration with Payroll
8	External services
9	Time evaluation (planned times)

An employee with the Time Management status BLANK or 0 is not considered for time evaluation.

• The Time Recording Information infotype (0050)

The Time Recording Information infotype (0050) only has to be maintained if the employee’s actual times are recorded at time recording systems. In this infotype you record

• Master data that is relevant for the connection to the time recording systems
• Customer-specific time variables

The following data is stored for each employee:

• The time recording ID number
• Information for the subsystem (interface data)
• Individual master data

For more information, see

•  Meaning and Origin of Master Data Fields

• The relevant infotype documentation

• The Personnel Time Events section in the Implementation Guide.

Customizing Settings for Time Evaluation
A further prerequisite is that you have checked the Customizing settings for Time Evaluation, and, if necessary, modified them to suit your requirements.

For more information, see Customizing for Time Evaluation.
