Recording of Time Events
- Amelia Witka (Unlicensed)
Employees can use this function to record their personnel and working time data at their respective terminals. The system transfers the data directly to CATS.
To use the terminal to post time events to CATS, the system requires specific personal data from personnel administration on each employee. This application also includes the time event catalog from the Human Resources standard system. The following system events are initially defined and can be used to define your own time events types in Customizing for Vehicle Sales and Service (VSS) under Service > Time Management > Definition of Time Event Types > Define Customer-Specific Time Event Types:
- Coming
- Leaving
- Coming and Start of Work
- Start of Work
- End of Work
- Break
- Confirmation

Activities
As an employee, you use your personnel number and, optionally, PIN code for authorization purposes when you want to record your times. You can enter the personnel number directly, or select it from the employee list.
If you want to change the default time event type, select the appropriate time event type from the input help or enter it directly. Depending on the time event type, after selecting the event, you must specify further details, such as the order number of a released order.
The system sets the date and time of time events (the time stamp) and validates the entered data. The system checks:
Whether the employee is approved for the terminal
Whether the order is released for recording
The system groups two time events that follow each other in pair formation and saves the time data in CATS. The system can transfer the working times generated in this way in CATS to cost accounting, together with the account assignment attributes.
