Hi Rohan,

through this process i think we cant give dates.

as you said earlier that you are doing with ABAP program, in that case check the dates as system date. when ever your job will run system automatically take that day system date.

Ok Praneeth,

Let me check this and update you soon..

Go to PT60 and pass Personnel number, Evaluation schema,Time statement variant,keep evaluation up to as blank check display log,test run then click on F8 later check how system is working till what date system is executing time evaluation.

Accordingly you can define variant.

Dear Yadav,

Thanks again your back to back reply.

So after executing PT60, i need to save as varinat..

Please correct, if i am wrong.......

Up to now:: i just enter data on PT60 screen, and then save the varinat.

Regards.

Sharma

Go step by step.

1) Create a variant before scheduling Job i.e usually it should be executed for all the employees so keep blank as personnel number we need schema enter it Time statement variant is required enter it and rest others not required since you do not enter evaluation up to system picks the current date as evaluation up to date, So test it for one two personnel number for your understanding.

2)once variant is ready according to the requirement then define a Job where you can call the variant and program name as mentioned in images.

3)Go to SM37 once job is executed you can check the status and log of the job by clicking on spool and log of the job how many personnel numbers selected and successful, unsuccessful details etc.

Definately Bro,,

Please tell me, after putting all values in PT60. shall i run pt60 and then make a variant...

Putting required values on PT60, need to make a varinat. Means Without running PT60..

Please clearifyy....

Sharma

As mentioned earlier Go to PT60 and pass Personnel number, Evaluation schema,Time statement variant,keep evaluation up to as blank check display log,test run then click on F8 later check how system is working till what date system is executing time evaluation usually if you do not pass evaluation up to time evaluation will be execute till current date check it for your better understanding.

Later once you are confirmed that input parameters are fine then remove test run, display log rest everything same then save it as a variant the same can be called in SM36.

Why i asked you to execute test run is it should meet your business requirement that can be analyzed with test run even though if you do not execute program no issues but you should be confident that it works as desired then no point of program execution before saving it as a variant.

Hi Rohan,

If you are running this PT60 Job every day then ask ABAPer to check System date (SY-DATUM) in the both fields.

when ever PT60 run in the background job both fields will updated with system date (present date of the system)

Go through below images and check whether it is working or not.

Venkatesh

it is depends up on individual consultant usually forced retro is not required Evaluation up to is required display log is not required test run is not required if it is a scheduled job for all the employees in live system.

Eg: Currently users are running PT60 on daily basis...
