Time Management - How to define a "placeholder" presence

[Former Member]

Hi all

The scenario that we are facing is to enable employee to work from their home with positive time evaluation;.in addiction, in some particular days the company wants the employee to be at work "on site" instead of "at home".

In order to let it work we develop a remote "time Stamp Terminal" that capture the clock in and clock out of the employee via web, but we need to define a presence that signal to employee that in that particular day he/she is attended at company site, instead of working at home.This presence should be a sort of "placeholder", with the only goal of make evidence to employee (via ESS) of the day in which he/she is expected to be "on site"

I am wondering if there is any possibility to define a presence that would act as a placeholder, i.e. that is irrelevant for signal the presence of employee (function VARSTPRSNT); in this way I don't have to modify at all the time management cycle, and (as usual) throw error only if the employee doesn't clock in and clock out, or insert any other absences for that particular day..

I have already tried to set to 0% the calculation rule (T556C) assigned to the presence, but it seems that is relevant only for Time Quota evaluation.

Thanks in advance

You mean you would know if there is real clock-in/out for an EE in a day? If this is the case you can control it.

No, what I would like to achieve is to input in PA61  a full day presence and let SAP to raise error because the employee has not a clock in..

How you would put full day presence through PA61? Would you create an attendance record for example?

Exactly

if this is the case you can define and attendance type in T554S and use it but I should say I have not understood you requirement.

If you can share some screenshot of the case it might be helpful.
