Streamlining Complex Time Evaluation Business Scenarios in SAP Time Evaluation
Meet the Experts
Key Takeaways
⇨ Master data tracking eliminates unnecessary time evaluation recalculations to save time and resources before payroll processing, quotas adjustments, reporting and other business processes that require additional manual time-consuming steps.
⇨ Time evaluation results can be up to date after each time evaluation run in the complex scenarios with internal Forced Recalculation if master data tracking is implemented.
⇨ Standard time type settings (save without preceding cancellation) provides additional functionality in case of complex time solutions to track changes in absences/attendances.
The article covers the SAP Time Evaluation Internal Forced recalculation functionality that adds additional flexibility to the SAP Time Evaluation. However, this functionality does not address the issue of master data changes and sometimes requires additional efforts (like rerunning Time Evaluation before payroll) to make the results accurate. The article suggests a straight-forward Checksum solution that resolves this problem. The solution does not change the Time Evaluation work and process flows, and can be applied to any custom solutions. This is important before the migration to S4HANA and after the migration as it streamlines Time Evaluation business processes regardless of whether they are done through standard schedulers/splitter or process models transactions or detailed solution descriptions.
