Time Constraint Reaction for Time Management Infotypes

The Purpose the document is to explain the Time Constraints Reaction on Time Management infotypes as i come across many questions in the forum related to Time Constraint Z, hence i thought of providing a document explaining the functionality of it with an example.

Time Constraints: Let’s look at the time constraints of the both absence types first.

Annual leave: Time constraint class which is 01

Same as W, the only difference is collisions won’t be displayed, record will be saved without any messages.

So in our scenario we just need both absence types to be saved without any collisions, hence we can go and replace the indicator from E to N, so records will be saved without any issues and collision messages. Will that solve the issue? No

Because we do have a challenge here, these two absence types have time constraint class 01, so if we go and change the reaction indicator to N, whenever these two absence types are created, there won’t be any problem. But think about other absence types who have time constraint 01, where record never to be created and collision must always occur and system should not insert both the records, hence we can’t go and simply change reaction indicator as our wish because it impacts the other absence types

Create a new Time constraint: Let’s create a customized time constraint called 50, go and create the same in the View V_T554Y

Like above we can customize the time constraints and change indicators according to the business requirements as we have done in this document. 

Thanks for your patience and reading , hope this document would be helpful for the beginners who are struggling understand the Time constraint of Time Management infotypes.

Thanks
