Hi SAP Experts,

Can any one let me know what are time types and how it plays major role in Schema and PCR

Now i am going to do some R& D with Time types. before i proceed. i would like know what is time types. i have seen in standard types in table V_T555A

Balances

Save as day balance               1   Balance formation

Cumulate in period balance  1   Balance formation

Transfer prev. period     1   Transfer

Transfer prev. year         1   Transfer

What does this mean? Why are they maintaining 1 and 0, what does mean by day balance and cumulate in period balance.?

Hi Sriram!

Have you pressed F1 key to read SAP documents Sap provides quite clear already

Very easy as below: 0 is not active, 1 is Active:

Balances

(9H00 is time type in V_T555A)

Save as day balance               1   Balance formation => storing in Daily (can use operation ADDDB9H00)

Cumulate in period balance  1   Balance formation => storing in Monthly (can use ADDMB9H00, but NOT recommend, please using T-code PDSY to read it in order to understand why, using Fucntion CUMBT in schema).

  Transfer prev. period     1   Transfer => assuming in Apr-13, u have time type 9H00 contains 10, this value will be move to next period May-13

Transfer prev. year         1   Transfer => quite same, move value form Dec current year to Jan next year.

Please investigate documents I processed Time Type and explained very detail as below:

Understanding Absence Quota

Absence Quota basing on Working Date

Understanding Relationship PT and PY

and more documents in Useful documents for configuration and PCR

If you are clear documents below, you will deeply understand how to process Time Type, PCR and schema Good luck!

Regards!

Hi Sriram ,

Flow :- SM30-->table name V_T555A creation of time types.we have select whether it should store the balances in Daily , monthly we will give is "1"Balance formation .

It will store the no.of hours in a day or month based on our requirement.

time types may be daily time type, monthly time types, yearly time types.

ADDDB<time type> Daily

ADDMB<Time type>  monthly

T555A – Time Types The table contains the time types valid for time evaluation. Time balances are formed and written from the attendance and absence times of the employees during thetime evaluation (RPTIME00) (flexitime balance/overtime balance, and so on). All time types manipulatedin the course of time evaluation must be defined in this table. The corresponding texts are stored intable T555B. Whether day and/or period balances are made up from them, and whether they may be used for balance revisions are important distinguishing criteria of the time types.

Thanks
