Digital time recording rethought - get off to an efficient start with SAP Business One!

Time recording SAP Business One
Product updates

Why it's worth switching to digital time recording now, especially for small and medium-sized companies.

Digital time recording is becoming increasingly important for small and medium-sized companies - not only to comply with legal requirements such as the ECJ ruling from 2019, which requires systematic working time recording, but also to make internal processes more efficient. A modern time recording solution can make all the difference, especially in SMEs.

Traditional methods such as paper-based timesheets or Excel lists often lead to errors and tie up an unnecessary amount of administrative time. Digital systems can help here: they make recording easier, save time and ensure greater transparency - for both employees and management.

But how can digital time recording be meaningfully integrated into existing processes - and what specific advantages does a solution such as SAP Business One offer SMEs in particular?

Digital time recording

The requirements for time recording are increasing - both from an operational and legal perspective. A digital solution offers decisive advantages:

Real-time data enables transparent working time control and facilitates personnel planning.

Legal requirements: What companies need to consider

The obligation to systematically record working hours was not only triggered by the ECJ ruling in 2019, but was also further substantiated by the case law of the Federal Labor Court (BAG). In a ruling from September 13, 2022, the BAG clarified that employers are obliged to introduce a system for recording working hours.

The planned amendment to the Working Hours Act also stipulates that working hours must be recorded electronically in future and stored for two years.

These developments have a direct impact on companies, as they must both ensure compliance with working time regulations and ensure that their systems enable audit-proof records. Solutions such as ChronoHub help to implement these requirements efficiently by recording and automatically processing working times directly in SAP Business One.

ChronoHub: How easy it is to integrate electronic time recording into SAP Business One

SAP Business One does not offer integrated time recording by default. Chronohub, a smart solution from our partner Coresystems, closes this gap. The solution integrates seamlessly into the ERP system and ensures efficient working time recording.

  • Automatic posting in SAP Business One - Recorded times are transferred directly into the system and are available for further processing.
  • Optimized payroll accounting - Working times can be easily transferred to payroll accounting, thus avoiding errors.
  • Detailed evaluations - Companies receive a precise overview of hours worked and project times.
  • Support for remote working - ChronoHub allows employees to track their time regardless of location - ideal for distributed teams or home office scenarios.

FAQ - frequently asked questions about digital time recording

Since the ECJ ruling in 2019, companies in Germany have had to ensure that working hours are systematically recorded. In 2022, the Federal Labor Court confirmed that employers are obliged to record all of their employees' working hours. Specific legal implementation in Germany is still pending, but companies should prepare for compliance at an early stage.

Digitale Zeiterfassungssysteme reduzieren den Verwaltungsaufwand, minimieren Fehler, ermöglichen eine bessere Planbarkeit und sorgen für eine revisionssichere Dokumentation der Arbeitszeiten. Zudem bieten sie Flexibilität, da Mitarbeitende ihre Zeiten unabhängig vom Standort erfassen können.

Nein, SAP Business One verfügt standardmäßig über keine integrierte Zeiterfassung. Mithilfe von Add-ons wie ChronoHub kann diese Funktion jedoch problemlos ergänzt werden.

With Chronohub, working times can be recorded flexibly via various devices, including

  • Smartphone or tablet - ideal for mobile working
  • Web browser - access directly on the PC
  • Time recording terminals - stationary terminals enable fast and reliable recording, e.g. via transponders. EasyTime, a solution from Krämer Anwendungssysteme, offers direct integration with ChronoHub and SAP Business One.
