• Key Concepts: 
  Deviation rule is a feature in SAP Time Management that allows users to define rules for automatically calculating the deviation between the planned and actual working times of an employee. It is used to ensure that employees are not overworked or underworked, and that their working hours are in compliance with labor laws. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the deviation rule, users must first define the rule in the system. This includes setting up the parameters for the rule, such as the maximum number of hours an employee can work in a day or week, and the minimum number of hours an employee must work in a day or week. Once the rule is set up, it will be applied automatically to all employees who are subject to it. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a deviation rule, it is important to consider the labor laws of the country where the employee is located. This will ensure that the rule is compliant with local regulations. Additionally, it is important to consider any special circumstances that may affect an employee’s working hours, such as holidays or overtime.
