During time evaluation (using PT60) we type in a field called “Time Statement

Variant”. Can any one tell me where should I configure this field? We run time

evaluation on bi-weekly and monthly basis. If the first of month starts on Tuesday

and Monday is 31st of the last month, while printing the time statement, its printing

31st of the last month in one page and the remaining 30 days of this month in a new

page, it’s just wasting pages. Can any one tell me how to configure this field so that

it prints all days on the same page.

ANS:1 In PT60, you only call a variant of the time statement. I think the change have to

be made in the form itself. All the config is in the SPRO Personnel timemanagement/Time evaluation/Evaluation and time management pool/time statement

form....ANS:2 Tcode - SE38Select variant radio button

Program name - RPTEDT00

Give variant name.

ANS:3 please note the form name used in the report RPTEDT00.You can modify that form in t-code PE51.



as u said I tried to find the variant for reprot RPTIME00 and could see the variant

using SE38. But I can see only "values" and "attributes" of a variant, Its very

difficult to understand what it is?

using PE51, I can't see the variant for the report RPTIME00, but I can see the

standard forms. I checked the variant in SE38 has been assigned with any of the

forms that are displayed in PE51, but its not. can any one tell how r they related?ANS:4 This is simple to understand, better have some knowledge on "Variants".

Se38 - RPTEDT00 - just execute... here you will see the form name of Time Statement

(Give standard one otherwise give your custom form name and all required information

into parameters on selection screen) then click on save.Give Variant name - SAP& Cust (example) and Meaning in Variant Attributes.

Finally save this variant.

Goto PT60 and give your Time Statement Variant here and again save if you want onemore variant based on your evaluation.

ANS:5 execute directly the report RPTEDT00 (System/Service/Reporting) with the

variant you use with RPTIME. Then you'll see what form is used in the variant. Pleasenote that you will probably have to use PE50 instead of PE51 if the form is a TEDT class

ur suggestions really helped me to understand about HR forms, I just followed all

the above suggestions in creating an form and using in PT61 (RPTEDT00) report, it

worked well. But I am still unable to find the option where I can restrict it not to

print in a new page (see my above posts). can any one help in finding it or give any

suggestion where I can set this option.

go to PE50 and modify your form accordingly so that it prints in the same page.

I THINK (not sure at all ) that you can't always do what you want. If you have any kindof cumulation in your form (Time type or wage type) then the system will split by week

(or month...) First thing I would do is to check if I have cumulated value and then go intothe configuration help in SPRO where you have some details how it works (see the path I

wrote a few messages back)

Better all the time get the business requirement as you said not required in second page.

Get the requirement what client is expecting on the form and copy the standard form thendo the changes accordingly.

the business requirement is not to print in a new page, I copied the standard form and

modified its fields accordingly. But I am still unable to find the option or any customizingsteps where I can limit this not to print in a new page. If any know how we can set the

option in the form

Are you using a TEDT or TELU form?Did you check the parameter for list layout, weeks total : full weeks only, the help talks

about divided weeks..

Do you have an example of a period when it happen? I could run it to check if I can re-create the problem
