• Key Concepts: 
  Time recording ID card is a feature of SAP Personnel Time Management (PT) that allows employees to record their working hours. It is a physical card that contains an employee’s personal information, such as name, employee number, and job title. The card also contains a barcode or magnetic strip that can be scanned to record the employee’s working hours. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  To use the time recording ID card, the employee must first register their card with the system. This can be done by scanning the barcode or magnetic strip on the card into the system. Once registered, the employee can then use the card to record their working hours by scanning it at the beginning and end of each shift. The system will then automatically calculate the total number of hours worked and store it in the system for payroll processing. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all employees have registered their time recording ID cards with the system before they start using them. This will ensure that all hours worked are accurately recorded and processed for payroll. Additionally, it is important to regularly check that all employees are using their cards correctly and not attempting to manipulate the system by entering incorrect information.
