3038671 - Time Type Missing for Employee

When user record a time manually using the Employee Times or when a Time Administrator adds Employee Times for a user, no Time Type is avaiable to select.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Time Administration work center.
2. Select the Employees view.
3. Search for the required employee and click Edit.
4. Go to the Employee Times tab.
5. Add a new row.
6. Open the dropdown for Time Type.

Here, you can see that no value is available.

You have entered ABC (where ABC represents a country) as the country while migrating Personnel Administration Data. This means that although the employee is assigned to an XYZ (where XYZ represents a different country) company, they were hired in ABC. Therefore, the system expects ABC Time Types. Since ABC is not scoped as a country, the system will not find any time types.

To resolve this, you need to either:

1. Hire a new employee in the correct country, or
2. Terminate and rehire the existing employee in the correct country.

If you choose to terminate and rehire, consider changing the hire date to an earlier date before terminating. This way, you can set the new hire date to the intended date. It is advisable to try this process in the Test System first.

Now, you need to either hire a new employee in the correct country or terminate and rehire this employee in the correct country. You might want to change the hire date to an earlier date before terminating so that you can set the new hire date to the intended date. It is advisable to try this process in the Test System first.

You can check the country of hire directly in the UI:

1. Go to the Personnel Administration work center.
2. Select the Employees view.
3. Enter Personalisation Mode and expand the Employees UI element.
4. A field named ‘Country/Region’ will be available to select.

This will show the country of hire for the employee. It is not necessary to save the personalisation, as the country will appear on the UI immediately without saving the personalisation.
