• Key Concepts: 
  Data entry period is a feature of the SAP Time Sheet component (CA-TS) that allows users to define a period of time in which they can enter and submit their timesheets. This period is usually set by the company and is used to ensure that all timesheets are submitted on time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the data entry period feature, users must first log into their SAP system and navigate to the Time Sheet component. Once there, they can select the “Data Entry Period” option from the menu. This will open a window where users can define the start and end dates for their data entry period. Once these dates are set, users can begin entering their timesheets within this period. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember that the data entry period only applies to timesheets that are submitted within this period. If a user submits a timesheet outside of this period, it will not be accepted by the system. Additionally, it is important to note that the data entry period cannot be changed once it has been set.
