Alternate Day Off Sat/Sun Weekly

Former Member

Hi Gurus,

My client's requirement is to generate a WSR which entails every Sat and Sun off alternately. Which means, this Sat they would be working, Sun OFF. Then next week, SAT is a working day, SUN is an off Day. This pattern continues infinity until the EE resigns.

I am not very sure which is the best configuration or advice to provide to client that has not much of a maintenance hassle. In the system, we have already created 2 period work schedule (PWS) and 1 work schedule rule (WSR). As only 1 WSR only consists of 1 PWS, we're stuck here as creating 2 WSR will cause much hassles to change/create the IT0007 record every other week?

So far, below are a few workarounds I came across and could be thought-off but with limitations:

1. Delimit the WSR to the suitable period and then replace the PWS A to PWS B >> This is acceptable for quarterly or half-yearly but imagine at least 52 delimitation?

2. Create 2 WSR and advise market to change their WSR every week >> This isn't really a permanent solution 😞

3. Create only 1 PWS and 1 WSR with either SAT/SUN OFF. Use substitution infotype to bypass the initial WSR configuration >> Again, client request us to do something and advising this approach to them, it's like not helping them to reduce their workload with SAP configuration.

Any other possible approach/workaround i could look into it?

Thanks a lot in advance!

There are lots of documentation available on the web regarding this subject, and you could start with https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/HCM+Time+Management

As Sasmita mentioned, create a Periodic Work Schedule that details the 2 weeks (T551A-WONUM).

Sorry, abit confusing on the requirement with Typo. Here is the correction:

"Which means, this Sat they would be working, Sun OFF. Then next week, SAT is a OFF day, SUN is a working day. This pattern continues infinity until the EE resigns...."
