• Key Concepts: 
  Pair formation is a feature of SAP Personnel Time Management (PT) that allows users to create pairs of employees who are assigned to the same shift. This feature helps to ensure that the right number of employees are available for each shift and that the workload is evenly distributed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use pair formation, users must first create a pair template. This template defines the criteria for which employees should be paired together, such as their skills, experience, and availability. Once the template is created, users can then assign pairs of employees to shifts based on the criteria defined in the template. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a pair template, it is important to consider the skills and experience of each employee in order to ensure that they are paired with someone who can help them do their job effectively. Additionally, it is important to consider the availability of each employee when creating pairs so that they are not overworked or underutilized.
