  Key Concepts: 
  External Time Category is a feature in SAP Employee Central that allows users to define and manage time categories that are external to the system. This feature allows users to create custom time categories that are not part of the standard SAP system, such as vacation, sick leave, or other types of leave. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the External Time Category feature, users must first create a custom time category in the system. This can be done by navigating to the “Time Management” tab in Employee Central and selecting “External Time Categories” from the drop-down menu. From there, users can create a new category and enter the details for it. Once created, users can assign this category to employees and track their time accordingly. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an External Time Category, it is important to ensure that all of the details are accurate and up-to-date. This will help ensure that employees are accurately tracked and that their time is properly accounted for. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes made to the category over time, as this will help ensure that all employees are using the same version of the category.
