Transaction
Field in IT 0001

2. SETUP NUMBER ASSIGNMENT FOR ALL PLAN VERSIONS
BACKGROUND
In this step, you specify whether number assignment is plan
version- specific or plan version-independent, in other words,
valid for all plan versions. This decision is important since it
affects the kind of subgroups (number intervals) you may use.
If you decide not to work with number assignment valid for all
plan versions, you must create individual number intervals
per plan version (and possibly also per object type).
If you decide to use plan version- independent number
assignment, you create number intervals that are valid for all
plan versions. In this case, there is no danger of parallel
number intervals occurring i.e. the same number interval for
one object in one plan version and for a different object in
another plan version.
SCENARIO
Discuss number range assignment for all plan versions.
INSTRUCTIONS
Organizational Management Basic Settings Maintain

3. ACTIVATE INTEGRATION FOR ACTIVITY ALLOCATION
BACKGROUND
This is where the integration between TEM and Cost
Accounting is activated to allow for internal activity allocation.
SAP does not allow the transfer of costs from different
controlling areas.
The integration is switched on however, to allow for the
generation of the customized ‘Training Allocation Report’.
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the Menu Path: IMG Training and Event
Management > Integration > Billing and Activity Allocation >
Activity Allocation > Integration
Steps:
In this step, you activate the integration switch for internal
activity allocation in the Cost Accounting application
component (CO). You must set the INLV switch to 1.

3.1 SPECIFY DEFAULT CONTROLLING AREA
BACKGROUND
This is where the default controlling area to be used during
activity allocation is specified.
When you create relationships between cost centres and
positions or Organizational units in Organizational
Management, the system requires that the cost centre is
assigned to a controlling area, as a cost centre must always be
assigned to a particular controlling area.
In this case, the value of this entry will be used as the default
for the controlling area.
INSTRUCTIONS
Activity Allocation > Specify Organizational Elements
Click
Steps:
In this step, you enter a default value for the controlling area
in the entry PPINT

3.2 DEFINE COST CENTER OF COST OBJECT
BACKGROUND

center is specified.
If a cost center is not found at the end of the evaluation, the
cost center specified in SEMIN COST will be used.
INSTRUCTIONS
Activity Allocation > Define Cost Center of Cost Object
Steps:
In this step, you specify the parameters required to determine
the cost center of the cost object.
Under COSTC you specify the evaluation path used to find the
cost center of the cost object. Under SCOST you specify the
cost center of the cost object.
The system first looks for the cost center via the evaluation
path. If it finds no cost center, it uses the cost center stored in
SCOST.

3.3 SPECIFY ORGANIZER TYPES
BACKGROUND
This is where the default organizer types are specified. VTYP1
controls the main default.
Note:Object type ‘O’ for organizational unit has been set as the
default organizer since most courses are conducted internally.

hierarchical event offering or catalog.
Business event types are assigned to business event groups.
You maintain this relationship when you carry out the step
Create Business Event Type.
You record the following data for business event groups:
General description:
The text you store here is included in the business event
brochure.
Relationship - "Belongs to business event group"
Here you assign a business event group to an overlying
business event group. The hierarchy is always created top
down
Note:This is the highest level of the business event hierarchy.
The entries here will have to be maintained separately in each
client since it is considered master data.
INSTRUCTIONS

The standard SAP entry is maintained. Currently, there is no
need for user exits so the settings in this table do not apply.
INSTRUCTIONS
Management > Business Event Preparation > Resource
Management > Control Elements

4. DEFINE PUBLIC HOLIDAY CLASSES
BACKGROUND
In this step, you assign public holiday classes to the holidays
defined in the public holiday calendar.
In the standard SAP system, the public holiday class "1" is
assigned to all public holidays except for Christmas Eve and
New Year's Eve.
These days are assigned public holiday class "2". The
calendar is not client-specific. Each change takes effect
directly in all clients.

4.1 GROUP PERSONNEL SUBAREAS FOR THE DAILY WORK
SCHEDULE
BACKGROUND
In this step, you assign a personnel area grouping for daily
work schedules to a personnel area grouping for work
schedules.
For example, employees in personnel areas 0001 and 0002
have been assigned to personnel subarea grouping for work
schedules 01. Employees in personnel area 0003 have been
assigned to grouping 02.
All three personnel areas are to use the same daily work
schedules. You therefore assign personnel subarea grouping
for daily work schedules 10 to personnel subarea groupings
for work schedules 10 for US

The personnel subarea grouping for daily work schedules
(initially 10) which you assign at this point is also used in the
subsequent steps.

4.2 DAILY WORK SCHEDULES – DEFINE BREAK SCHEDULES
BACKGROUND
The daily work schedule (DWS) represents the actual working
time for a particular employee on a given day.
It can differ from the employee's agreed daily working time
stipulated in the work contract or collective agreement. In the
following steps, you set up the DWS.
You can specify exactly when breaks may be taken within the
DWS, and whether they are paid or unpaid.
For example, a day shift has a coffee break from 9:00 a.m. to
9:15 a.m. and a lunch break from 12:30 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
(work break schedule DAY1). Another shift has a coffee break
from 9:15 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and a 30-minute lunch break,
which may be taken between 12:00 noon and 1:30 p.m. (work

4.7 DEFINE RULES FOR ROUNDING COUNTED ABSENCES
BACKGROUND
If you specify an hours or day multiplier for counting
attendances and absences, the values determined can have
several places behind the decimal point. It is difficult to use
these values for quota deduction and payroll.
In this step, therefore, you set rounding rules for absence and
attendance counting. You use concrete numbers for the
rounding rules and can specify whether you want:
• Only values within the specified interval to be rounded or
the interval to be rolled.
• The specified upper and lower limits to be included in the
calculation
You can specify several sub rules for a rounding rule and
number them sequentially. The system runs through the sub
rules in sequential order until it finds one that applies

2. If you want to specify several sub rules, number them
sequentially.
3. Enter the upper and lower limit of the rounding
interval.
If you select the Incl. field, the value of the specified
upper or lower limit is included in the rounding (greater
than/equal to or less than/equal to).
4. Enter the target value to which you want the value to
be rounded.

4.8 DEFINE TIME TYPES
BACKGROUND
In this step, you define time types, day balances, and period
balances for your company.
Time types are semantic groupings of time spans. The
balances formed in time evaluation are posted to time types.
They determine whether balances should be cumulated in a
particular time type on a daily or monthly basis.
Example
Employees in a certain personnel subarea grouping are
scheduled to work 8 hours a day. The collective agreement
specifies an average daily working time of 7.5 hours.
Employees can accumulate compensation time from the
difference. Define the time type "Compensation time".
Requirements
You have defined personnel subarea groupings for time
recording.
Standard settings
The standard SAP system contains the most common time
types. You can add your own entries if these are not sufficient.
The meaning of the time types is taken from time evaluation's
personnel calculation rules. The standard time types are as
follows:
0002 - Planned working time from daily work schedule
0003 - Skeleton time (times which qualify as planned
work)

0005 - Flex balance (difference between 0003 and 0002)
0010 - Attendance (generated or from time events)
0020 - Recorded absences (infotype 2001)
0030 - Recorded attendances (infotype 2002)
0040 - Overtime worked
0050 - Productive hours (total of 0010, 0030 and 0040)
0904 – Utility time type.
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the Menu Path: IMG Time Evaluation > Time
Evaluation Settings >Group Employee Subgroups for the
Personnel Calculation Rule
Steps:
1) Decide which additional time types are required.
2) Specify the personnel subarea groupings for time recording
for which
the time types are valid.
3) Decide if the time type should be cumulated on a daily or
period
basis.
4) Specify whether the balance from the previous period or
year should
be taken over at the start of a new period or year, or whether
the

Cumulation should start from zero.
For the US the following time types are used

5.2 CREATE RULE GROUPS
BACKGROUND
In this IMG activity, you specify the groups of employees for
which you want special rules for Web applications to apply.
You define rule groups for the following applications:
• Leave Request in Employee Self-Service (ESS)
• Team Calendar in Leave Request and Manager Self-
Service (MSS)
• Attendance Overview (MSS)
• Time Accounts (ESS)
• Clock-In/Out Corrections (ESS)
• Approval of Working Times (CATS)(MSS): You need to
carry out this activity only if you want to use the
Manager Self-Service view group or the Time Manager's
Workplace group ID to determine the working times to be
approved.
To determine the number of rule groups required, find out
how many different groups of employees in your enterprise
require different Customizing settings for the above-named
applications. It may also be the case that you require only one
rule group.
If required, you can form the rule groups on the basis of the
Web applications that the employees use. This enables you to
form different rule groups for the Leave Request and Team
Calendar in Manager Self-Service than for the Clock-In/Out
Corrections applications.
