Introduction to the Employee Time Entry Process
Key Points
Employee Time Entry is the process of tracking, recording, and maintaining time workedor time taken by employees. The process flows as follows:
1. Employee time is collected.
2. Time is entered into the CATS system.
3. A supervisor approves the time records.
4. Human Resources evaluate the time records.
5. Time records are processed by payroll.
6. Paychecks are cut.
An administrator may be required to enter hours worked or hours taken by an employee
for the following reasons:
To record hours worked for positive time employees (temporary employees)
To record hours not worked for exception time employees (regular, full-time
employees)
To record hours reported for an employee who works in another location
An employee works an exception to his or her planned work schedule
Before we begin the time entry process, we must look at the Time Entry Absence andAttendance Codes and their definitions. This will help us to know what to choose whenentering time.

Before we enter time, lets discuss all the different components of this screen. You willneed to know what each of them means to process time correctly.
Pers. no. = Personnel Number

other words, you can use the same line to enter time as long as theattendance/absence code is the same. If you need to enter sick leave and vacation,for example, for an employee, you will have to do them on separate lines.
Rec. CCt =Receiving Cost Center
If the hours worked should be charged to a cost center that differs from the employee'smaster cost center, then use this field. Otherwise, this field can be left blank.

Rec. Order = Receiving Order
This will be required if you choose an Evaluation type with an OCAS Function code of1000.
A/A = Absence or Attendance Type
The code used to indicate the category to which time should be charged.
Val. Basis = Valuation BasisThis is only used when the hourly rate for the hours worked is different from the hourlyrate stated for the employee.

Otherwise, this field can be left blank.
E = Evaluation Type
This will only be used for extra-duty work (i.e. where attendance type = 2030). Thecodes here will point the hours worked to the correct GL Accounts when the amountsare posted from HR/Payroll to FI/CO.
You will notice the numbers that have already been entered under the days of theweek. If there is a number at or above 1, this is a regular employee for whom you areentering time. Temporary and substitute employees will show 0.00 for each day.

Variants are time-saving tools in SAP that will allow you to save data you repetitively enter on a
regular basis, and instead of reentering the same data every time, you simply retrieve the variant,
and it plugs all the information in the correct fields for you. Variants are good to use in instances
where you enter time for a variety of people who are all assigned to different organizational units
