collision error - absence and attendance

[former_member193652]

Hi everybody,

I have a collision error in time management.

Imagine for a employee first clock-in is 11:00 AM and last one is 16:00. Its DWS is 7:00 - 16:00. We are generating absences for gaps automatically so when I run the time evaluation, system generates an unpaid absence for 7:00 to 11:00. Then if I want to enter an attendance in 2002 from 08:00 to 11:00 and just keep 07:00 to 08:00 as unpaid absence, systems gives me a collision error.

I am keeping the standard customization for collisions and nothing has changed. My absence type and attendance type both have time constraint 1 and in table V_554Y_B time constraint reaction for 2001 time con. class 01  with 2002 time con. class 01 is "A". So I expect system delimits the absence!

If I put an attendance exactly from 07:00 to 11:00 there is no problem and system cuts the absence and puts the attendance. But If I put attendance in any part of absence duration, system generate collision error.

Anybody has idea what's going wrong?

Thanks,

Hello

please refer to the documentation of following IMG-activity:

Time Management
> Time Data Recording and Administration
  > Specify System Reaction to Overlapping Time Infotypes

Especially under section '2. Special features for infotype records of less than one day' the system behaviour is described:

...
1. Case 2:
A record of less than one day specifying clock times or a number of hours collides with a full-day record or a record which encompasses several days. Reaction indicator A is defined in Customizing for this combination.
Since the system cannot delimit records in this example, the new record cannot be created. The system displays an error message.
...
Case 4:
Two records collide that both last less than one day and for which clock times have been entered.

3. If both records cover the same period, the system reaction depends on the system settings.

4. If the periods covered by the records do not overlap, the new record can be created irrespective of the system settings. The system does not display a warning message.

5. If the periods covered by the records overlap, the system reacts as follows:

If the reaction indicator in the system settings is E or W, the system reacts as specified. If, however, the reaction indicator is A, the system displays an error message.

...

I hope that this information is useful for you.

Thanks and Kind Regards

hi,

as you are generating absence first again you can not book attendance at the same time.

so go to absence record and change the time there as 7 to 8 if it is 7 to 11 already there and save it and go to 2002 and book attendance from 8 to 11.

Hi

Dates are overlapping in that documents,thats why collision error is displayed

change that dates Or timings.
