Set up the work schedule rule and work schedule in the IT0007 of PA20/30 to tell your employees the

time rule for work. See the below picture:

The IMG path:

Step 1 : define Public Holiday Classes 1.1 define Public Holiday

Double click Define Public Holiday Classes and choose Public Holiday

here we can define all kinds of public holidays, we can use different ways to decide which day is the certain holiday and whether the holiday can be used in the holiday

calendar. 1.2 define Holiday Calendar after define public holiday, then we define holiday calendar Choose Holiday Calendar

in order to create a new Holiday calendar, we only need do three steps One: enter ID and text for the Holiday calendar you want to create. Two: enter the time period Three: assign some certain public holiday to this calendar

Step 2: define daily work schedule and break rules 2.1 set group personnel subareas for daily work schedule and work schedule

We must remember the grouping number of personnel subareas for the daily work schedule and work schedule. 2.2 define break schedules

Break schedules define when and how the employee can have a rest during the working hours.

Double click Define Break Schedules and choose Determine Break Schedules in the pop-up window (see the below picture):

Then we can manage break schedules in the next table.

Normally, we decide the begin time and end time of a break here and whether the break time is paid. For some flexible break schedule, we can define that employee can have a break after certain hours of work. 2.3 define Daily work schedules Then we can define daily work schedules with break schedules. Double click Define Daily Work Schedules and manage the daily work schedules in the next table:

Please pay attention to the first column: Grpg in the table. That is personnel subarea grouping of daily work schedule we define in the former configuration. Step 3: define period work schedules

Double-click on Define Period Work Schedules, we can see all of the period work schedules in the clients and each period work schedule include several daily work schedule.

So we can decide the time rules of working in a period for employees. Step 4: define work schedules If we integrate Holiday calendar and period work schedules together, then work schedules are defined.

See the IMG path in the above picture. First of all, we should define Grouping for employee subgroup and the public holiday calendar for the table of Work Schedule Rules. Then, double click Set Work Schedule Rules and Work Schedules and set up work schedule in the coming table.

If we create a new entry in the table, the below framework is displayed.

1. Choose ES grouping, Holiday Calendar ID , PS grouping correctly according to the former configuration. 2. Enter the ID and text of Work Schedule rule 3. Enter working time for this rule. 4. the most important steps here is choose the right Period work schedule, decide which day is the beginning day when period work schedule work and the start point of period work schedule.

By the way, I dont mention day types here because I think its seldom used in the TM projects.

Step 5 generate work schedules We will finish the configuration work about work schedules after generate the work schedule we create just now. We have two methods to generate them: manually and in batch. Frequently I prefer in batch.

We should choose the work schedules we want to generate through the four variants in the above half of screen. Then we decide the time period( begda and endda) and reaction if any error occur through generating.

Now we can assign the work schedule rule to employees in the IT0007 planned working time
