• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTI_CALC055 - Count time not specified ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WSTI_CALC055: Count time not specified:
  
  Error Message
  WSTI_CALC055: Count time not specified
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP Time Management (specifically in Time Evaluation or Time Data Processing) when the system expects a count time (also known as time value or time quota) to be specified for a particular time wage type or time evaluation rule, but it is missing.
  Count time refers to the actual time value (usually in hours or minutes) that should be recorded or processed for a certain time wage type or time event. If the system tries to calculate or evaluate time data but does not find the required count time, it triggers this error.
  Common scenarios causing this error:
  
  Missing or incorrect time data input for a time wage type.
  Incorrect or incomplete configuration in Time Evaluation schemas or PCRs (Personnel Calculation Rules).
  Time wage types that require a count time but are processed without it.
  Time events or infotypes where the time duration is not entered or is zero.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WSTI_CALC055 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Time Data Input:
  
  Verify the time wage types or time events entered for the employee.
  Ensure that the count time (duration) is specified and is greater than zero.
  For example, if a time wage type requires hours, make sure hours are entered.
  
  
  
  Review Time Evaluation Configuration:
  
  Check the PCRs (Personnel Calculation Rules) involved in the time evaluation schema.
  Identify the rule or step where the count time is expected.
  Make sure the rule correctly reads or calculates the count time.
  If the rule expects a count time but none is provided, adjust the rule or input accordingly.
  
  
  
  Check Infotypes and Time Events:
  
  For infotypes like 2001 (Absences), 2002 (Attendances), ensure the time duration fields are filled.
  If using time events (e.g., clock-in/clock-out), verify that the system can calculate the duration.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the cause is not obvious, run the time evaluation in debug mode.
  Trace the point where the error occurs to identify missing or zero count time.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address known issues related to this error.

  SAP Modules:
  
  SAP HCM Time Management
  Time Evaluation
  
  
  
  Common PCR Functions:
  
  Functions that read or calculate count time (e.g., CNT, CNTT, CNT1)
  Ensure these functions are used correctly and the input data is valid.
  
  
  
  
  Summary
  The WSTI_CALC055 error means the system expected a count time value during time evaluation but did not find it. To fix it, ensure that all relevant time wage types or time events have valid time durations entered and that the time evaluation rules are correctly configured to handle these values.
