About the CATS approval

Hi gurus,
I am having problem with the workflow for approval of time with the ESS.Can anbody tell all the steps required for the approval of time in ESS.I am using the single step workflow 31000007.Can anybody give the suggestions for HR side.

Hi,
and I suppose you are using CAT2 for the testing and using a correct data entry profile? Did you also remember to release AND save the timesheet entry AND use a "fresh" week containing no other released & unapproved entries?
The final point applies because only a single work item is sent for the approver per one timesheet regardless of how many later line items are saved and released.
If these are ok and you have checked the authorization logs in SU53 that they don't have any errors, my suggestion is to debug your way through the save function with /h after releasing. I don't remember the module names by heart but you should pretty quickly bump into a call of fm sap_wapi_workflow_start. This function is responsible for launching the work item.
Now check if the call is successful and for any return messages in case it's not successful. This should lead you through the non-UWL relevant part..
Best regards,
Mikko

Mac Mail - The cat is back

Today I crefully crafted an application for a new job for 2012 and happy with waht I had crafted after several hours work on my resume I sent it off. Then I went to print it out only to see a picture of what i thought was my cat. I went into a blind panic at the thought of a lost opertunity beacuse of a silly, unporfessional picture appearing. But where did it come from?? I never saw it before.
I sent myself a mail and was spomewhat relieved to see that it did not apppar on the incomming message. So why does it appear on the outgoing message.
I Googled and searched this site and found some discussions from 2005 and 2010 that suggested it was something to do with Addreess Book and a personal self entry, and it was not my cat at all. I deleted that entry but to no avail the **** cat still appears.
Any ideas ?

Hi Derek,
First, good luck on the job hunting, second I think there's no need to worry about the Cat on the other end... unless they use a Mac.
What Picture shows in System Preferences>Accounts?
You can replace the Pic in AB with a blank tiny white one, but I'm not sure you can just not have one there.

Temporary CATS Approval

Has anyone set up a process or written a program to set the CATS approval status to 30 for purposes of extracting records for payment? In other words, we would like to set the status of non-approved records to 30 by a program that would use a "System ID" so that the record shows that it was system approved. This is so we can send Payroll (external system) a payroll file and get the employee paid. We have cases where managers are not able to complete approvals in time and we need to be able to pay the employee and post the labor. The current thought is we systemically set the status to 30 by the system but to later have the manager perform an approval and update the CATS record. My fear is that any change to the record will cause the original record to reverse and since we are heavy PS users reversing confirmations takes days.
Any ideas?

If you go to view V_PT_FIELD_SEL_C
Field selection SLIN
Screen area CTD
on your backend system, you will realize that there is no configuration
data there.
just compare your 000 client , probably transport didnt update the entries in this table, thats the reason for the error
maintain it manually

Delegation of CATS approval

Greetings
We have a situtation of few supervisors go on 1 month leave and hence the CATS approval gets held up. Is there anyway it can be delegated without disturbing the org structure each time.
We dont use workitems here and hence its a normal approval CATS screen.
Regards,
Vivek

Hi Vivek,
Please try SBWP - Settings - Workflow Settings- Maintain subtitute via the user whose authorizations are to be delegated temporarily.
Make sure the user assigned as substitute has CATS approval authorizations.

About the approval working time

Hi gurus,
I don't know if it's the correct place to post this.We are using MSS 1.0 and EP 7 .I have a small problem.For the approval working Time we are using task TS20000460 task and we modified it based on the requirement of the client .Now we have discovered that when manager approves the time in MSS , the infotypes are updated automatically which the client does'nt want that to happen.Is the MSS approval will work the same way or it's because of workflow.Is there any setting to be done so that when the manager approves it the update will go into the CATSDB table but not the infotypes.
Reply is needed very urgently on this.
Thanks in advance.

Impact of deleting 'Prod Cat' from extended attributes on the SC approval

Hi All,
I have one question regarding 'Product Categories' in extended attributes.
We have defined 'Product Categories' as extended attributes at the company level.
The users are able to create SC with the Product Categories which are assigned as Ext attributes of the company.
We wanted to remove one product category from the extended attributes of the company, because we did not want the users to create SC for that product category anymore.
However, the users had already created SC using that Product category and the SC are in approval process.
I want to know that if we remove that product category from the extended attributes, will it affect the existing SC (under approval process) which were created using that product category.
Will there be a problem in SC approval & SRM PO creation, if that product category is removed.
Please help.
Regards,
Ruchika

Hello Ruchika,
As written by Sanjeev, i don't think it will impact flow process for SC or PO.
But, to be sure, make some tests on your development environment:
- create a SC with Product Category to test,
- delete this Product Category from tab "Extended attributes",
- approve/reject the SC,
- when SC approval WF is over, try with a Purchaser from Purchasing Group having responsability for this Product Category to modify PO (if authorized by user profil or customizing),
- order the PO,
- approve/refuse the PO,
- make modifications on PO approved (if authorized by user profil or customizing).
Nevetheless, in case of SC rejection, check if SC creator can delete the SC: maybe not due to Product Category deletion.
Regards.
Laurent.

CATS Approval in MSS - same error, other issue?

We have upgraded our portal and HR environment to the latest sp and enhancement packs.
In the testing we get a blocking dump in the time approval in MSS.

I've checked the table TPT_FIELD_SEL_C between development and our testing environment and they are the same.
The only special thing is that we don't use the standard SAP_LINE approval view (see IMG), but our own custom one. The SLIN is not configured ok, but our own "ZLIN" fields are configured ok (into table TPT_FIELD_SEL_C).
Has anybody an idea?

I think we have got similar issue and raised an OSS message and the reply we got
This happens due to the missing customisation in Mss.
ie Configuration for screen areas CTS and CTD is missing. View
V_PT_FIELD_SEL is meant to hold the relevant information.
Please have a look at the client 000 for the default customisation.
So, What you need to do is write table TPT_FIELD_SEL_C on a transport
and transport it to client . You will then have all the setting
you need for the application to work.
Also,
The solution is to write down all the
technical field-names from view groups CTS and CTD in table TPT_FIELD_S
EL_C, then use the config area to select the fields properly. This overwrites the TPT_FIELD_SEL_C table entries with ones that have the "tabname" populated! The application will now work as expected.
Please try producing a new transport of the entire table TPT_FIELD_SEL_Cas R3TR TABU with appropriate key and transport to yor system, you
should choose to overwrite the destination table. Please let us know
the result after.
Please check the customisation for MSS approval.
SAP_LINE: Model approval view for line managers. It groups recorded data according to the employees assigned to the line manager.
For example the above view has been defined? or you can adapt to your
needs.
Can you try to import the transport again but make sure that "overwrite
orginals" in the OPTIONS tab is selected?
Transactrion SE01
Select create a the workbench request.
then doble click into the request
and push the button Display/Change
Enter here the entry "R3TR TABU TPT_FIELD_SEL_C"
Push enter
Then one icon with a Key appear
Push the key and enter * for all the table entries or select the
each one that you need.
If the changes are correctly available then it will work correctly
Please ensure that the transport is done correctly

Customizing Web Dynpro for CATS Approval

Hi experts,
I would like to implement some additional logics when the CATS is approved by managers in MSS.
After tracing the codes, I located an ABAP class "CL_MSS_CAT_APPR_TR_BUFFER" that performs the approval actions in R/3.
Currently, I am considering to copy and edit a ZCL_MSS_CAT_APPR_TR_BUFFER to add additional logics to the "IF_MSS_CAT_APPR_TR_PROCESSOR~SAVE". But, here are my questions:
1/ Since there is no object delegation in BO, how can I "delegate" the objects from CL_MSS_CAT_APPR_TR_BUFFER to the z-class ?
2/ If no delegation possible, is it possible to change the action mapping s.t. ESS calls to the Z-Class instead of the standard class?
3/ If it cannot be done with action mapping, does it mean that customized Dynpro developments required ?
Sorry that I don't know much about ESS and Dynpro.
Please offer detailed steps when possible.
Many Thanks.

I don't believe that your question has been asked in the correct forum. This forum is for questions directly related to Web Dynpro ABAP development only.
However a quick suggestion (although unrelated to WDA). Instead of copying the class, consider using the enhancement framework instead. You can use a pre, post or override method to extend the logic of the SAVE method.

Can not see the details of the task approved in UWL of ESS

Leave approver can not see the detail of the task approved such as the start and end date of the leave, number of days used, leave quota details of the applicant when he approved it.
Please give your advises!
Regards,

Hi!
Maybe these attributes are not being shown due to the fact that they might have been specified in the "List of Display Attribute to exclude from Preview/Detail area" attribute of the UWL iview currently being used.
As you can see in the Help page:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/de/0a/ad68c125ae496f8c04a25090bd2e3c/content.htm
It states the following about this attribute:
"Enter the names of the attributes which you want to hide from the display in the preview area. These names should be comma separated."
Maybe for the UWL iview currently being used it has been specified some values for this attribute, and so some information for the items such as the start and end date of the leave (along with the others you have mentioned) are not getting displayed in the preview area.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Armando Zaro

How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.

Hi ,
Can this be done.
How to disable the edit Permission after the task approval in project server 2010.
I mean How to Disable approve/Reject Permission Once task approved in project server 2010.
Any Help Would be more than Welcome.

Hi Rohan,
Just talking about the tool capabilities, preventing a task approver (status manager) to approve/reject updates once he has already approved once is not possible out-of-the-box. You grant permissions to user: if you grant a user to approve task updates then
he has the permission to approve updates, no matter if it is the 2nd or 3rd time the task is approved or rejected.
Then of course you could do not custom development to do that.
I'd say that in order to help you, we would need to understand a little bit more your business need. Why do you need to achieve such a goal? We can surely propose you workaround.
Hope this helps.

Requisitioner is not receiving the PO approval mail

Hi SAP Guru's
SRM 5.0 CCM2.0 , Extended Classic Scenario,
After creating the PO , the PDF format of PO with Email notification is sent to the vendor Email address but requisitioner is not getting any PO approval mail for the same. its been 3-4 weeks requisitioner is not receiving any mail before that the mail was sending into mailbox.
I have checked in SOST TC and seen that the email is sent to the vendor address only but not to requisitioner.
There is two batch job are running for that - Z_Print_PO ( Sending PO by mail to vendor )and Z_SENDMAIL ( Sending PO by mail to vendor )
Please clarify should requisitioner also get the PDF of PO or get the PO approval mail only & How ?
Kindly advice.
Thanks ,
Jayoti

Hello Jayoti,
After creating the PO , the PDF format of PO with Email notification is sent to the vendor Email address but requisitioner is not getting any PO approval mail for the same. its been 3-4 weeks requisitioner is not receiving any mail before that the mail was sending into mailbox.
During output PO (whatever the sending medium), no approval PO workflow mail can be sent as the workflow is finished.
Clarify what you are talking about for Requisitionner: notification mail when PO is approved or approval workflow mail ?

Crystal Reports functionality from Save The Cat

Sorry if I've missed this in the presentation video since I've only watched half of it, so I have no idea if this has been considered for development.
I use "Save The Cat" from Blake Snyder to storyboard my scenes with Crystal Reports - minus his structure.. and I create my own story templates and then drop the whole thing into "Final Draft".
If I had the flexibility to setup and re-use "structure" templates that would contain my scene cards with an overview of my scene cards as the structure under my script and the ability to toggle between the two...then where do I sign on the dotted line?
If you could integrate this functionality into this software - and as I say, I'm not sure if you've done this - then I'm sold. In other words, you build with the cards, and worry about the script later.
Cheers,
C.

I need more info from you. I have looked for info re. Powerbuilder 11.5 here:
http://www.sybase.com/products/modelingdevelopment/powerbuilder
but I can not find any mention of Crystal Reports as it would apply to Crystal Reports being part of Powerbuilder 11.5. So, I need more explanation of this:
I'm trying to use the Crystal Reports ocx from Powerbuilder 11.5
Also, in the title of this post, you mention:
Crystal Reports RDC from Powerbuilder.
RDC and OCX are quite different technologies. It's one or the other. Thus please provide the following info:
1) Is the CR component you are using (be it an OCX or RDC) part of Powerbuilder? Or have you purchased a stand-alone version of CR and are using the component in Powerbuilder?
2) What component are you actually referencing?
3) What is the version of the Crystal Reports you are using?
