On Saturday, September 6, 2025, our SAP S4HANA system will be upgraded to H4S4 to ensure continued compliance with SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) licensing and support through 2040.

As part of this upgrade, SAP will no longer support the Time Entry – Maintain Time Data (transaction code PA61). Consequently, the following functionalities will be retired:

  • Maintain Weekly Entry with Activity Allocation (2052)
  • Change Monthly Calendar (2051)
  • Change Annual Calendar (2050)

These changes will take effect on September 6, 2025 and below details the update. It is important to note that UTime users will not be impacted by this change.

Current View: Until Saturday, September 6

New View: On Saturday, September 6
