What are the steps in time man a g e m e n t , so that I can unders t a n d by both the scen arios why a perso n is booked and when he is not booked. A. No need of time man a g e m e n t . while creating an event you will be creating time sche dule in the box select user defined where you can define different timings for different days with intwervals like weeks , month s for this just select multiple. Q. I need to ask you that while I am trying to book one person in training for a busines s event type, they are saying that this person is not available for the busines s event. Why is it so? But that I can book a user for the sam e busines s event type. What is the differens e betw e e n user and person? Now in case if I book a person for the busines s event, how can I see wheth er that person is available for that date or not. Moreover how can I see that that person is on leave or not. A.

Q. About time man a g e m n e t . Now I am trying to book person, but I have to see wheth e r this person is on leave or what about the break schedule so that I can give training. For this purpos e I am starting again. I am recruiting 2 person, gener a ting 2 personn al no, then prep ar e the infotype about time and creat e 2 scenarios to see that in 1 case the perso n is booked for training (beca u s e time sched ule is not coinciding wiith the training period) and I want to creat e anoth er scen ario where I can see the person cannot be booked (time period coincides with the training period of only 1 day.) What are the steps of time man a g e m e n t about both the scen arios. A. For checking wheth er the person who is going on leave or who has gone on leave, to find out just got to pa20 and enter infotype 2001 abse n c e where you will be checking wheth er this guy is on leave or not. If he is ill go onleave so the data will be store d in this infotype. Q. There is 1 person but its displaying that this person cannot be booked. He is not available for the busines s event. Can you tell me where is it going wrong? What can be the reasons ? A. You should be able to book for all persons but it showing only for one perso n me an s you need to check infotype 2001 and his worksch e d ule.

The comp a n y does not want to creat e additional PSA/PA to enable me to put the m in their own PSA Grouping for time quot a types. Can I use IT2012 to bring in the exception hrs and then add this value to their accru al as defined in config. Becaus e of this they will accrue vacation time at a higher rate. Is this possible? Combining config settings and sche m a to accrue leave. If I could put the m in their own separ a t e PSA grouping for time quota types it would be easy for me as I would not per mit gener a tion of quota during time eval.

What is a BSP application ? A. BSP (Busines s Server Pages) in the new dimen sion in SAP where by weba p plication can be built. BSP uses HTML for the pres e n a tion and ABAP for the busines s logic. As an option there is also the Java flavour using JSP.BSP applications are far bett er than the old IAC\\\'s (Internet applicationco m p o n e n t s ) deliverd vide the ITS where the display format is kind of fixed.In SAP HR the new apprias al syste m used BSP.Well this is only basic inform ation. You may wish to use the MBS (WASversion) to try and develope d a simple application using BSP. BSP is a set of page s that repres e n t a user interface (layout and page flow definition). The layout part of a page norm ally contains ABAP or JavaScript code which is inserte d into the HTML structur e. They can contain server- side scripting code in either JavaScript or ABAP. BSP applications use all the convention al ABAP technologies, such as Open SQL and internal tables, allowing developer s to creat e Web page s quickly. This enable s existing SAP logic, data structur e s, and interfac e s to be directly used in Web applications. Q. What are the differenc e betwe e n : Retroactive Accounting Period, Earliest Retroactive Accounting Period! A. Retroactive Acc Period: The retroactive accounting period refers either to an individual employe e or to a payroll area. The earliest possible retroactive accounting period is specified for a payrollare a. The syste m also takes into consider ation the employe e\\\'s initial entryda t e .

Earliest Retroactive Acc\\\'g Period: The period furthes t back in the past for which it is still possible toperform a retroactive accounting run. This me a n s that retroac tive accounting takes place for a period for which payroll has alrea dy been perform e d. Q. How to write a variable breaks. For exa m pl e in a manufact uring unit 50 employe e s are working, all the 50 employe e s will not take a break at a time, so 25 people will take a break around 11:00 to 11:30 and anoth er 25 people will take a break around 11:30 to 12:00, A. Variable or flexi break mea n s if you are fixing the break as10.0012.00 and saying that only 30 min break then they can take a break of 30 min at any time in betw e e n 10:00- 12:00. In config, under time man a g e m n t and then work schedul es, go to break sched ule s and creat e two break sched ule s (1) 11- 1130 and the other for 1130- 1200. I think each will have its own DWS. In this cas e for break sched ule 1, the DWS will be 8000 and for break two it will be 8001. Create work sched ule s for each and assign to the releva nt group of employe e s . This is the solution I could think of. Q. Is it possible to implem e n t hr without fico in any comp a n y? If yes, then who will creat e the comp a ny and other things in enterpris e structur e. if my comp a n y is implem e n ting only hr without fico and in hr also only person al administration is it possible? Actually my client querieing me that wheth er is it possible only to maintain the employe e det ails as he got other accounting packag e s like tally. A. It is very much possible to implem e n t HR(PA) without FICO. But it sound s very odd that the comp a n y wishes to imple m e n t only HR & that too only PA. What about other modules ? If you want other modules like MM / SD you will definitely require FICO. Utilitiwise its really absurd if som e comp a ny only want to use HR(PA). It is not madt a d t ory to have FI/CO or other module while imple m e n ting HR but it is required to maintain the min. config while going for the HR where e v e r having the integr a tion. So the basic config such as comp a n y code, cost centre, Busines s Area, etc. may be maint aine d by the consultation of FICO count er part For the second part of your ques tion, YOU, the HR guy, will creat e minimu m information in FI and mayb e CO (comp a ny code, mayb e cost center s). Just creat e an IMG project for PA HR, and the need e d basic FICO activities will be included. *-- Battac h a ry a
