How time evaluation creates time types?
What are the tables or the info required to create time types?

Time types play an importation Part in Time Evaluation:
   
1) They help in creating the TIME ACCOUNTS for the employee
Once the Time evaluation is run we get time wage types which are set to payroll for calculation of remuneration for the employee and also we get Time types which are used to show time accounts (with the help of Time balances) for the employee.
   
Time types store time balances.....
   
Let me give you an example:
   
Say time type-0002 (Periodic balance)
   
If a particular employee worked 10 hours. In a day that 10 hours is stored in ZES (Daily Balance) AND Total cumilation for the whole month say 200 hours  in SALDO (Monthly Balance),  the whole balances are Put in a Time Type.
   
V_T555A - used to view time types for a particular period.
   
These time types are stored in cluster B2
   
There is one more thing like,  Time types and the Processing types are combined to form Pair which is used to calculate over time, form absence pair, attendance pair etc.  You can see in detail if you go to T555Z (Time type determination).
