Documentation

Definition

Required availability in days.

Use

If you require candidates who are available for a specific number of days over a particular period of time, define the start and end of the desired timeframe in the Evaluation Start Date and the Evaluation End Date fields. You must also specify the required availability in days.

Dependencies

This feature can only be used if the employee whose availability you want to check is defined in transaction CATS.

Bear in mind that the availability specified here takes into account the forecasted days already entered in the Forecast application.

Example

An employee's available time takes into account the forecasted days already entered in the Forecast application.

The maintenance of forecasted times can be specified in terms of days, weeks or months. If the requested timeframe does not match the forecasted timeframe, the forecasted data is calculated as follows:

Requested timeframe: Sept. 1 until Sept. 14.
Forecast data:

Project 1: 6 days in September
Project 2: 4 days in September

Total available work time for employee (CATS data) in September: 20 days
Forecasted available work time for employee (CATS data) for the requested timeframe (CATS data): 10 days

To calculate the available time, the system deducts half of the time specified for each project from the total of 10 days forecasted for project availability:

Total 10 days - 3 days (project 1) - 2 days (project 2) = 5 days.

The default implementation of the method CALCULATE_MIN_AVAIL_TIME in the BAdI SAWE_SA_EMPLOYEE is used to calculate the minimum available days. You can replace this calculation process with your own implementation.
