Config Template to create/modify Work Schedules

[Former Member]

I created Excel Configuration Template to gather Tech Information from users to create work schedules:

Config Template included PSA Groupings, the ESG Groupings, the Calendar Groupings, the Daily Work Schedules, Breaks, the Periodic Work Schedules etc.

When I presented this config Template to the user, sounded overwhelmed e,g, had questions like what holiday calendar grouping or PSA grouping.

What information or form of information can I expect from the user so I can interpret to fill the above fields?

When we are gathering the information from the user, its usually the business terms that we use rather than the SAP terminology. For example, if we have to create a work schedule (in SAP language) we will ask the user what are the working patterns in the organisation which involves working time, working days etc., holiday calendar, breaks etc followed by the organisation basis which we create our DWS and PWS. The groupings part is something for the HCM consultant to decide and users will not be able to provide an input on that.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Most of our "Configuration Templates for Users" or "Requirements Files" contain a 4 column key listing the Personnel Area, Pers. Sub-Area, Employee Group and Employee Sub-Group. Groupings are sometimes listed but they are not essential for the user's understanding.

For example, in the Work Schedules Requirements File, there may be several lines for the same PA/PSA/EG/ESG detailing all the Periodic Work Schedule Rules (and PWS) available to them.

Hello,

See its better to explain them the enterprise structure here as PSA & ESG comes from there. also clearly explain the impact of EG, ESG in all the config of TIME module. better use classic example for calendars how different countries will have different holiday schedules or the patterns.

good luck
