The distribution of time data overviews provides the Time Sheet with guide values, which simplify time data maintenance.

Time data overviews can be distributed asynchronously, or by synchronous access of the time data overviews in HR.

Asynchronous Distribution

You can trigger asynchronous distribution using the report RPTIMEOVERVIEW_REPLICATE (Trigger Distribution of Employee's Time Data Overview). The report can be executed in the HR system (push method) or in the Time Sheet system (pull method).

Time data overviews are created and then transferred to the Time Sheet system by an IDoc. In the Time Sheet, the data is stored in the tables PTIMEOV1 and PTIMEOV2.

If you want to delete time data overviews in the target system, use the report RPTIMEOVERVIEW_DELREPLICA (Delete Employee's Time Data overview in the target system).

Synchronous Access of Time Data Overviews in HR

When time data overviews are called in the Time Sheet, the system first checks whether tables PTIMEOV1 and PTIMEOV2 are filled. If they are not, the time data is created synchronously in the HR system and stored in a buffer table in the Time Sheet system. The overviews are therefore available to you when you maintain time data.

Requirements

In Customizing for Distribution (ALE), you must maintain the Basic Settings.

Maintaining the Distribution Model

To ensure communication between the Time Sheet system and the HR system, you must perform the Maintain Distribution Model step. Choose Create method and make the following entries:

  • Client: Logistics system (Time Sheet)
  • Server: HR system
  • Object: PTimeOverview
  • Method: Replicate (Trigger distribution of employees' time overview)
  • Client: Logistics system (Time Sheet)
  • Server: HR system
  • Object: PTimeOverview
  • Method: Get (Determine employee's time overview)
  • Client: HR system
  • Server: Logistics system (Time Sheet)
  • Object: PTimeOverview
  • Method: DeleteReplica (Delete employees' distributed time overview)
  • Client: HR system
  • Server: Logistics system (Time Sheet)
  • Object: PTimeOverview
  • Method: SaveReplica (Distribute employees' time overview)

The object method belongs to the object BUS7013 Employee Time Overview.

Settings in the Logistics System (Time Sheet)

If you choose the pull method, schedule the report RPTIMEOVERVIEW_REPLICATE (Trigger Employee's Time Data Overview) in the Time Sheet system.

Settings in the HR System

If you choose the push method, schedule the report RPTIMEOVERVIEW_REPLICATE (Trigger Employee's Time Data Overview) in the HR system.

Checking Consistency

In Customizing for Distribution (ALE), check for consistency by performing the Check Technical Consistency step.
