• Key Concepts: 
  Subsequent sickness is a term used in SAP Personnel Time Management (PT) to refer to an employee's illness that occurs after the employee has already been absent due to a previous illness. This type of absence is usually treated differently than a single illness, as it may require additional medical documentation or other special considerations. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP PT, subsequent sickness is recorded in the same way as any other type of absence. The employee's manager must enter the details of the absence into the system, including the start and end dates, the type of absence, and any relevant medical documentation. Once this information is entered, the system will automatically calculate any applicable leave entitlements or deductions. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering subsequent sickness into SAP PT, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included. This includes any medical documentation that may be required for the particular type of absence. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all applicable leave entitlements or deductions are correctly calculated and applied.
