  Public holidays are days that are legally recognized as non-working days in a particular country or region. In SAP, public holidays are managed in the Personnel Time Management (PT) component. This component allows users to define public holidays and assign them to personnel areas, personnel subareas, and employee groups. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the public holiday feature in SAP, users must first define the public holidays in the system. This can be done by navigating to the “Define Public Holidays” screen in the Personnel Time Management (PT) component. Here, users can enter the date of the public holiday and assign it to a personnel area, personnel subarea, or employee group. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When defining public holidays in SAP, it is important to remember that they will only be applied to employees who are assigned to the personnel area, personnel subarea, or employee group that the holiday is assigned to. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all relevant employees are assigned to the correct personnel area or subarea before defining a public holiday.
