• Key Concepts: 
  Time substitution is a feature of SAP Personnel Time Management (PT) that allows an employee to substitute one type of time for another. For example, an employee may be able to substitute vacation time for overtime hours. This feature is useful for companies that need to manage their employees’ time more efficiently.
  
  How to use it: 
  Time substitution can be enabled in the SAP system by setting up a substitution rule. This rule defines the types of time that can be substituted and the conditions under which the substitution can take place. Once the rule is set up, employees can request a substitution of their time through the SAP system. The request will then be reviewed and approved or rejected by a manager.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a time substitution rule, it is important to consider the company’s policies and procedures regarding time off and overtime. It is also important to ensure that the rule does not conflict with any existing laws or regulations. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the rule is clear and easy to understand for both employees and managers.
