Documentation
Definition
Differentiation between an employee's tasks depending on the level of valuation.
Specific task levels are allowed for each task type. The task levels determine the valuation level for each task component.
Use
In the Cross-Application Time Sheet (SAP CATS), the task type, task component, and task level fields enable you to specify the task elements that are relevant for valuation. For example, elements that are relevant for valuation are entered for the following business processes:
- Payroll (wage types, attendance types)
- Controlling and billing (activity types, statistical key figures)
- Invoice verification for external employees (activity numbers)
The SAP R/3 system can derive the following working time attributes from the combination of task types, components, and levels:
- Attendance/absence types
- Wage types
- Activity types
- Statistical key figures
- Activity numbers
- Sender business processes
You can replace these input fields on your time sheet user interface with the task type, task component, and task level input fields, which are tailored to suit task recording needs. You can also valuate the task type, component, and level in reporting.
You can make the relevant settings in the Implementation Guide (IMG), under Cross-Application Components -> Time Sheet-> Time Recording -> Task Levels, Components, and Categories.
Example
At a consultancy, employees record their tasks. The data recorded is then used for creating invoices.
- Task type: consulting
- Task components for consulting: working hours, overtime, number of kilometers driven
- Task levels for consulting: junior, senior
The SAP R/3 system valuates the "overtime" task component for the "junior" task level with a specific activity type. The SAP R/3 system valuates the "overtime" task component for the "senior" task level with a different activity type with a higher price.
