• Key Concepts: 
  Work center substitution is a feature in SAP Personnel Time Management (PT) that allows an employee to be substituted for another employee in a work center. This feature is useful when an employee is absent or unavailable and needs to be replaced. It also allows for the substitution of employees with different skills or qualifications, allowing for more flexibility in the workforce. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use work center substitution, the user must first create a substitution rule in the system. This rule defines which employees can be substituted for each other and under what conditions. Once the rule is created, it can be applied to any work center where substitution is needed. The user can then assign the substitute employee to the work center and the system will automatically apply the substitution rule. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a substitution rule, it is important to consider the skills and qualifications of each employee. This will ensure that the right employee is assigned to the right work center and that they are able to perform their duties effectively. It is also important to consider any restrictions or limitations that may be imposed by local laws or regulations when creating a substitution rule.
