• Key Concepts: 
  Personnel number substitution is a feature in SAP Personnel Time Management (PT) that allows users to enter a personnel number for an employee instead of the employee's name. This feature is useful when entering time data for multiple employees, as it eliminates the need to manually enter each employee's name. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use personnel number substitution, first ensure that the personnel numbers have been assigned to each employee in the system. Then, when entering time data, simply enter the personnel number instead of the employee's name. The system will automatically recognize the personnel number and fill in the corresponding employee's name. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using personnel number substitution, it is important to ensure that all personnel numbers are entered correctly. If an incorrect personnel number is entered, the system will not be able to recognize it and will not fill in the corresponding employee's name.
