During inbound time effort processing, time records for confirmation and CATS can be split into two and more postings, each with different activity type and attendance/absence type.
Splitting rules are searched for based on the following criteria:
service order header plant (required)
country key (optional)
Country key is determined based on company ID, order type and order partners. Partner role used to determine which partner should serve as source of country information should be maintained in transaction /PACG/ECM_SOAD – Service Order Address Determination, if in transaction /PACG/ECM_SCTD – Service Call types definition: Overview and Detail the ‘Assign. address’ is set to ‘Service order address determination’. In other cases the ‘SHIP-TO’ function will be used to determine the relevant partner and then its country key.
Source activity type (optional)
Source activity type is determined from time task or operation (if not found in time task).
Weekday - weekday of the time effort, calculated based on the date entered on the mobile app
Fields ‘REGION’ and ‘LUMPSUM’ can be considered obsolete and should not be used.
Time efforts will be split based on the found Actual start/finish date frames and will receive activity type and/or attendance/absence type entered for a specific entry.
Example
The following time effort was added on the mobile app:
The following time splitting entries are maintained for plant 1200, source activity type 101 and weekday Wednesday:
The time effort fits into three time frames (05:00 - 07:00 into the first one, 07:00 - 16:30 into the second one and 16:30 - 22:00 into the third one), therefore the posting will be split into three CATS entries, each with different activity type and Attendance/absence type:
If the field DuratSOpt is filled either with Person or Order, any entry beyond the standard entry time (mostly 8 hours) will be split as well, and the overtime will receive a surcharge, as explained in /PACG/ECM_VWRKTC - Work Time Task Definition.
Public holiday
In the time splitting customizing, the weekday can be set as ‘Public holiday’. In such a case first a relevant holiday calendar is determined. This is done using the calendar ID entered in the field ‘Holiday calendar ID'. If no value is found, it is determined based on the service order’s plant’s factory calendar. It is then checked if the time effort’s date is a holiday and if so, the time splitting entry for public holiday days will apply.
