• Key Concepts: 
  Pair type is a feature in SAP Personnel Time Management (PT) that allows users to define different types of pairs for time recording. A pair type is a combination of two time types, such as regular working hours and overtime, that can be used to record the time worked by an employee. The pair type also defines the rules for how the two time types are combined and how they are used in the calculation of wages. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use pair type in SAP PT, users must first define the pair type in the system. This is done by entering the two time types that will be combined, as well as any rules or restrictions that should be applied to the pair type. Once the pair type has been defined, it can then be assigned to an employee or group of employees. This will allow them to record their time using the pair type when they enter their timesheets. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining a pair type, it is important to consider how it will be used in the calculation of wages. For example, if overtime is included in the pair type, then it should be set up so that overtime hours are paid at a higher rate than regular working hours. Additionally, if there are any restrictions on when or how often a particular pair type can be used, these should also be taken into account when setting up the pair type.
