CAT posting clarification?

Hi
We have implemented CATS for time capturing and posting of cost based on Activity types in to SAP for all employees.
Now problem is for contractors who does not have HR master recrods in SAP.We have time recorded by them and price based on activity type.But how to post that in to SAP?If master records are existing we would have used CATS standard application it slef.But no master records in SAP for contractors?
Any alternative for direct time&cost postings in to Internal Order/Cost center?

Recurring document posting clarification

Hi,
Recurring document can be posted by giving co code, doc no, Fis year and settlement period and at the same time what is the need for entering details in General selections tab ie doc type, posting date, entry date etc.
please clarify clearly what is the difference between posting with general selection details and without the same.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Deva

Dear,
It is well enough to run with document number and no need to enter other selection as long as you give the document number becuase it is unique.
Your concern belongs to technical veiw that why to use general selection. SAP provide this general selection to filter your search or in short it is basically to speed up the process.
For e.g You have entered company code and fiscal year but not the document number because they are not in chronological order so you will use to general selection like Document Type. You are sure that you want to execute recurring entry with document type AB so syste will look up into company code, fiscal year and document type and give you the results quicker than not using the document type in general selection

Set-up clarification worklist fr payment lot

Dear reader
We would like to use a workflow for the clarification worklist for payment lots in an ISU 472 system.
The aim for us is to post clarification items in different inboxes depending on the BP type of the BP.
We already checked the documentation, in customizing, on help.sap.com and on OSS but the still cant make it work.
- We tried to customise IMG<Financial Accounting<Technical setting<Prepare processing for Clarification worklist, but do not know how to because of a lack of documentation. Is there any additional information available?
- we tried to activate BOR in this transaction
- we tried to assign an event (object Type: CFC_OBJAP, Event: CLARIFIED) in this transaction and linked the events to copies of the workflows which are available for this functionality (WS21000077, WS21000078)
-we tried to trace the events when posting a payment lot which creates clarification cases, but didnt find any.
We tried a lot, but none of these has lead to results.
Could anyone provide more information or some tips on how to configure Prepare processing for clarification worklist or on how to activatre the workflows (WS21000077, WS21000078) to help us out?
Thanks
Best regards,

PS: we're working on R3 version 47 and ISU version 472

Haven't anybody had similar problem? I have to do it now but there is no info anywhere.
I have to notify the clerk (by SAP Inbox), that there is payment clarification case assigned to him. Workflow template WS21000078 seems to be that what we need. Even in SAP help there are info that it could be used in this purpose. Unfortunately there is no help how to do it.
So far I thought I can create custom copy of business object type CFC_PAYLOT with event CREATE but I donu2019t know when and how I can call this event. I think it should be called when there are new cases added to table DFKKCFZST. Do you think itu2019s possible?

CAT entry

Hi,
CAT2 is recording time against the WBS element but CAT5 says no record found to transfer.

Hi All,
I am posting attendance hours against each project by giving WBS element as a receiver object.
eg. Today - 2 hours on WBS 1, 3 hours on WBS 2 & 3 hours on WBS 3
Yesterday - 8 hours on WBS2
My question is if i am not mainting any cost distribution in info type 027 cost is not getting distributed against receiver objects maintined in CATS.
If in am maintining those WBS elements in info types cost distribution screen by maintaining distribution % system is distribution cost as per the maintained % and not as per the CATS posting.
Please tell me how link the cost distribution as per the data (Receiver object) entered in CATS to payroll to distribute the cost. I dont want fixed % distribution as told above, I want it as per CATS data entry for receiveer object.
please write ASAP
Regards,
Pradeep

Exchange rate type P is replaced with M

Hi,
We are using CATS for time booking and the process is as follows:
1) CAT2 -> Hours booked.. Lets assume: 9 HRs
2) CATS_APPR_LITE - > Time sheet approval -> Approved 9 Hrs
3) CAT9 -> CATS data transfer to cost object(PM order) -> During this transaction, system does calculate the amount needs to be tranferred based on price maintained in KP26 and hours booked. Lets say KP26 price is $100. That means controlling document will be generated for amount $900.
Note - As per system configuration, exchange rate type will always be P whenever CATS posting will happen and controlling document gets generated. That means, currency conversion will take place based on the exchange rates maintained for type P.
So as per business requirement, we have done an enhancement to the existing CATS process:
Price is manually determined at the time of CAT2 and same will be considered till the controlling document is generated. So, no price determination during CAT9. Therefore the strategy says it is a manual determiination of price and the Exchange rate type is determined as "M" and thats an issue because we do want to pass manual price but we want Exchange rate type as "P" as well.
Is there any way out or settings availabe in SAP or any user exit or an enhancement to achieve this functionality?
Thanks,
Aby

Hi Aby,
I believe these notes contain good information for this case:
1073979 (which I think is already in your system and therefore this behavior).
and
691613 (which explains the strategies)
Also, please check the entry you have defined in the transaction OKEV.
There, the system will make the translation depending on the
exchange rate defined.
I hope this helps.

Best Way to Override 'Everyone - Read Only' using ACLs

Hi, let me first clarify that I'm not an 'official' network administrator, I'm just the only one in a small design office able to attempt to figure this stuff out.
We are needing to upgrade our security in a small office (5-7 users, 1 server running OSX Server 10.4.4).
We've been working great since OSX Server 10.3.x using standard POSIX privileges setup as follows:
Owner: Our_Server - R/W
Group: OurGroup - R/W
Everyone: None
We've been able to share files great as we're all in the same group (OurGroup). No problems.
Unfortunately, we now need to add a higher level of security for some incoming freelance workers. Essentially, we need to give them access to only certain folders UNDER our main Share Point directory. But we need to retain all of the freedom we've always had for the entire Shared directory.
From my understanding, the only way to do this is by using ACL's and a different group for the freelancers. I've setup a TEST directory to try this on. I've almost got it setup to work the way we want, but now am experiencing what I've discovered to be one of the drawbacks of using ACL's - the "Inherit Permissions from Parent" feature of AFP is no longer an option.
So using this method, new files added by default pick up the standard POSIX permissions, which allow Read access to Everyone. And I have to 'replicate' the behavior of 'Owner' and 'Group' that we had working before using POSIX or the group would end up Read Only.
- Any way to simulate the inherited permission of 'Everyone: None" using ACLs?
- Is there an easier/better way to allow access to only certain sub-folders of our main Share Point for a different group (FreelanceGroup)?
- Any way to do this while keeping our good working POSIX model?
- What should my POSIX access settings be set now when using ACLs?
- How dangerous is having 'Everyone: Read Access' really? We have guest access disabled, appropriate firewalls, etc.?
Thanks a lot. I hope I'm approaching this properly. I'm open to any tips. We just need to make sure nothing 'appears' to change too much in the workflow we have grown accustomed to (within reason).

If you haven't already, you may find my ACL Tips post helpful: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1696702
My best advice would be to concentrate on defining ACLs for the groups of users for whom access should be granted (Allow rules). These can define inheritance for newly created files and folders, and you don't have the limit of having to think about just one group and everyone else. Remember that the POSIX "everyone" group is actually "everyone else" - that is, any valid user (guest if guest access is enabled) who does NOT match the owner or who is NOT a member of the POSIX group. The way that POSIX permissions are calculated, the connecting user is always granted ownership if possible, then group membership (primary group first, membership lookup by GID second) if that fails. Failing the two, the everyone else permissions are returned.
Here's an example that highlights the difference:
There is a group called "everyone" - that's actually all users, guests included, if guest access is enabled. This group is NOT the POSIX everyone else field. Rather, if you grant an ACL deny for everyone, then that covers all users, not just those for whom you don't have an ACL defined!
Further, there's an "authed users" group, which is the group of all authenticated users (and it never includes guests, even if guest access is enabled). Like the "everyone" group, membership is calculated by GUID by memberd. So you can thinnk of these two groups as "smart groups."
Since the "smart groups" have membership controlled by memberd and GUID values, it's wise to only use them when defining ACL entries. Neither should be used for the group value of the POSIX group field. Either membership calculation will fail, or the "everyone else" POSIX field may never need to be consulted.
As to the missing "inherit from parent" feature, the story is just the opposite: ACLs actually give you better inheritance than that feature ever did. For example, ACLs each support inheritance with the file_inherit, directory_inherit, only_inherit, and limit_inherit controls. For each entry, you can have a group or single user's ACL entry apply to new child files, new child folders, or both. Further, you can control inheritance on a per-folder level, and manage how deeply that inheritance goes (limit_inherit) or whether the permissions are only inheritable.
For example, your example POSIX group permissions would look like this using two ACLs:
ourgroup allow readattr,readextattr,readsecurity,list,search,read,execute, write,delete,append,deletechild,add_file,add_subdirectory,writeextattr,writeattr,file_inherit,directoryinherit
Again, my ACL Tips post explains more, and my answer to this post clarifies how new files, copied files, and moved files/folders get their POSIX and ACL permissions: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3188259&#3188259
Hope this helps!

Wireless Sync without an enterprise server?

Hello!
I'm not sure if this is even possible and it's probably a really dumb question....but here goes...I'm familiar the ability to wirelessly sync email, contacts, calendar, etc., in Outlook via a Microsoft Exchange Server. I'm trying to help a friend who has a Treo 755 and currently uses Hot Sync to sync these items to her Palm Desktop software on her personal PC. Is there a way to wirelessly sync all of these items either with Outlook or Palm Desktop without an enterprise server? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's a valid question, and quite frequent here. Sprint used to offer a product named Business Connection Personal Edition (BCPE) that shoveled emails in real-time in and out of Outlook through a Sprint server. As long as you kept this product running on your PC, it worked very well. Unfortunately, Sprint decided last year to shut down this service. They then announced that Treo PalmOS and Centro users could migrate to a later release of this product named Sprint Mobile Email Work (at no charge if your data plan is $25/mo or more, otherwise it's $10/mo). You can read more about this product here:

Clearing Accounts Error during CAT7

Hi All,
I have got query related to CATS posting to CO i.e. CAT7.
We are doing inter company CATS. While transferring data to CO, we are getting error that clearing accounts are not maintained for the set of company codes and posting key is not defined.
We have maintained ZERO rate in KP26 for the year for which we are posting timesheet.
My questions are:
Can we post CATS to CO with ZERO rates maintained in KP26 for that year??
When rates maintained in KP26 is ZERO then do we need to have clearing accounts maintained thorugh OBYA??
Please reply with your expert comments.

Nishith

Hi,
Thanks for reply.
In our case, for specific Cost Center, we do need the cost to bill it further but need to have quantity for CO reporting purpose. Hence needs to generate CO document.

I think, i have posted in the right forum. I have seen similar kind of tread. CATS is considered under PS only.
Please suggest if still i need to post in CO forum.

Creative Inspire 6700 Failed

This is a continuation of the post that is now in the read-only forums.
David Drury - Having contact the Creative support they have finally informed that that in March I MIGHT be able to buy a replacement board for my broken 6700 which just stopped working one day, for 60 euros. That's what it would cost to buy a new system from the link that appears below.
Here is Creative's direct repsonse:
"at present we have no out of warranty repair option which would allow me to sell you a subwoofer. This however should be possible in March although I can't guarantee it. In the past subwoofers have cost in the region of EUR60."
I am very disappointed Creative. This is not an isolated incident and that fact that my product is out of warranty seems irrelevant. It is no longer fit for the purpose for which it was designed. Given the number of compaints about this system on this and the read-only forum I would have expected a repair FOC.
I shall not be buying another of these systems and my impression of Creative has totally changed as a result of this incident.

UserMessage riz NewbiePosts: 2I turned on my speakers today and noticed the sound has completely died. The remote no longer lights up and the only time i get the slightest hint of sound is when I remove the transformer power lead and plug it back in. It's like the surge brings the amp back to life for a breaf second, turn the level up and it gets quieter? It was working fine the day before but today no play.Any suggestions, can I buy just a replacement box if the amp has gone, and what is the warranty on these? Thanks in advance
Posted:25/10/2005 12:55:06 creativemedd NewbiePosts: 3I have had the same problem. I have tested the remote volume/bass control on a friend's system and it works so it's something to do with the electronics on the board inside the bass speaker cabinet. I have taken this apart (my system's out of warranty) and can find nothing that look's wrong. I'm sure that a single component has broken and am loathed to buy a new system as all of the speakers, etc work. Can anybody suggest anything.

When I plug it in nothing happens. I took out the amplifier board and found that a transistor was blown, and that it had taken a resistor with it. I've managed to get the transistor details, but the resistor is a charred heap. I was hoping that someone could either provide me with a circuit diagram so that I can identify the value of resistor R0, or if you could tell me what the value should be.Any extreme close ups of the circuitboard would be sufficient for me to get the colours of the resistor.cheersSimon

I have the Inspire 7700 and my subwoofer just stopped working as well. Right in the middle of a song. The volume was only half way on the remote. Everything else works fine. Guess I'll have to buy a different brand too since mine is out of warranty I think.

Allocate cost to wbs

Hi,
How to allocate costs to wbs elements directly?
Thanks

cj40 etc are planning transaction - not for allocating but planning
what do you mean by allocation - plan or actual
if it is actual as I think then . . . . .
set up WBS as cost object with account assignment indicator ticked
now you can post cost via
goods receipt
goods issue
CATS posting time
direct FI journal
internal activity allocation
overheads, assessment, etc
settlement

Auto action: where to start?

Hi
I need to show messages in the form layout style page for each record. To get message text - I need to execute some auto action with one parameter - current record id. My goal is to help user make wright corrections.
My first decision was to override action for "detail" button and execute my action there, but its wrong because of navigation bar - its working just for one 'detailed' record.
So help me pls to find the start point for this auto action!

Sasha,
I have overlooked an important bit of information in your original post. I assumed that you were in a table layout, and that your custom action would have to be invoked multiple times for one request, once for each row in the table. But you mentioned that it was a Form layout, which I overlooked, sorry.
Your last post clarifies your problem for me. You are looking for a place to invoke your custom action (which I interpreted to be a 'Struts Action class', but instead appears to be just a method on your DataAction class). Your code needs to be fired AFTER the new current row is set, which is why you invoke it after the call to super.handleLifeCycle. I don't know what you do in your customAction() method, but appearently it is too late to do it after the lifecycle is handled by the superclass (which is why you currently invoke that twice, which is, indeed, wrong).
The solution to your problem is not overriding the handleLifeCycle method, but finding another method to override that is executed AFTER the new current row is set, but BEFORE the lifecycle is ended. As a suggestion, you could try to override the 'findForward()' method and invoke your customAction() logic there. The current row will be set, but as I do not know what you do in the customAction() method, I don't know if it is "too late" to invoke it there.
Finally, if everything else fails, you could create a new Action in the Struts config file, implement the 'customAction()' functionality there, and draw a "success" forward from the original DataPage to this action. This will result the new action being called after the original action (which has set the new current row). This way, your 'customAction' gets its own lifecycle. But I think it will prove to be possible to find a better method to extend on the original class than the handleLifeCycle() method.
Hope this helps,
Peter Ebell

Runtime error in MIRO posting invoice for SES's created in CATS

Hi Gurus,
We are having an issue when posting invoices in MIRO referred to SES created in CATS.
It always took much longer the system to process those SES created via CATS than those from the standard MM (ML81...) but the situation today is so critical that we can not pay the vendors for which SES are created via CATS. Runtime error is obtained when trying to post a SES for 900$ value.
This problem does not happen in our integrating/testing system.
Do you have any idea why this is happening?
thanks to everyone in advance,
VL

Hi,
have you searched for notes with the runtime error details?
Has also a short dump occured (transaction ST22) ? Please give more detail information.

How to Configure CATS Profiles in order for the Hours to be posted to CO

Hi All,
I have quick question for you all, how do I configure the CATS Time Entry Profiles so as to enable me to post the Hours (Different Receiving Cost Centers & Receiving Internal Orders) to CO.
Currently I enter time using TCODE: CAT2 and a CATS Profile and Save the Timesheet.
Following which I Approve Times using CAT4.
Then when I try to transfer time to both HR and CO using TCODE: CATA time gets transferred to HR Time Management Infotypes but not to CO.
I tried a couple of other TCODES as well i.e: CAT7 & CAPS and tried posting to CO but I am getting a message saying that "NO DATA TO TRANSFER" despite there been ample data fit to be transferred to CO.
So, my question to you all is how do you handle this situation in your implementation/organization.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Regards,
Aslam

Hi Aslam,
Im not sure why this isnt working.
Try approving timesheets using CATS_APPR_LITE
And check whether the timesheets are approved.
Once that is done.
Run CAT7
This would post the data from CATS to controlling.

Brinda
