Cat2 - cats_appr_lite - status

Hi,
Someone know to put the status 20 or 30 without the transaction cats_appr_lite.
Not directly in table of course.....
By using a fucntion or else....
Thanks.

Marc,
As far as I am aware, status 20 can only be set by releasing the Time Sheet Entry in CAT2.
Perhaps either of the listed user exits are an option;
CATS0003  CATS: Validate recorded data                           
CATS0006  CATS: Validate entire time sheet                
As for setting status 30, there are a number of transactions which can be used to do this;
CAT2, CAPP, CAT4 & CAPS.
Regards,
Damien.

  • CAT2 - Activity Status not confirmed

    Hi,
    I am using CAT2 to record the working hours of a network activity for a particular personnel. After releasing the project,  i input the actual working hours and save it. The status of the activity is not getting confirmed. I am not getting the actual cost in the project.
    But when i confirm the activity directly through CJ20N the actual cost is getting posted.
    Kindly suggest.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Kabir

    Hi Kabir,
    Check the Data Entry Profile in CATS customization and see if -
    1. Auto-release of time data is enabled. if yes, then Release not required after CAT2.
    2. Checkbox Approval Required is flagged. If yes, you have to approve the time data entered in CAT2 by using CAPP.
    I assume the following in your business case:
    1. Work center and activity have been assigned to activiity in PS.
    2. Allocation (rate) is maintained in KP26 for the combination of cost center assigned in the work center and activity type assigned in the activity.
    Now, when you select this activity is CAT2, the work center and activity type gets defaulted. Please confirm. If not, we will see it separately. To deal with the present issue, if it does not get defaulted, enter manually in CAT2.
    Referring to the first para, please do the rest of the processing (release and approval, as appropriate) and carry out Transfer to PS (CAT5). The time data entered, approved (if required) and transferred to PS must reflect as actual work against the activity is PS and additional status PCNF should get appended in the activity. You should be able to see actual cost booked against the activity.
    Please try this and revert. Hope this works.

  • Purchase order creation - Account assignment group C (Sales Order)

    Hello Gurus
      During the purchase order creation in Me21N, account assignment category C (sales order) is available. In which scenario we will use it. When I assign C system is asking for a GL account. Why system needs a GL account, and how the posting will be at the time of goods receipt. Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi,
    Creation of Purchase Order with t.code: ME21N  with account assignment category C (sales order) is used for Time and Material Expenses with third party scenario and you need to enter sales order number and respective G/L account . In this scenario 1st a  sales order is created with a material( material created DIEN material type) & then purchase order created with respect to sales order.
    Here you provide service to your customer and this service you procure from your vendor, you just play middle role  for providing and getting service.Standard DIEN material type designed for Sales usage only, so you create sales order  for service material.Service master is used to get service from vendor with item category D with proper account assignment category as C
    Example:
    Material type DIEN is used for when you offer "SERVICE" to your customer.( The steps are (VA01,VF01,VF04,F-28), If u used HR module( you can used with sales order with t.codes are: CAT2,CATS_APPR_LITE,CAT7,PR05,PRRW,PRFI)
    Service Master records(AC01)ESM is used when you procure "SERVICE" from your vendor.( Steps are: ME21N with Item Cat. "D" with Acc. ***. Cat. "C", ML81N,MIRO & F-53).

  • RMS and offline purchase order creation

    Hi,
    We are currently in CRP for RMS13 and discussing the options for buyers to have something on their laptop for PO creation while at the vendor or factory.
    Unfortunately in the far Far East, the buyers tell us that internet bandwidth is scarse and/or unstable, hence remote access to RMS through e.g. Citrix-VPN may be an option, however not sufficient.
    How do you approach this?
    We are exploring an offline laptop application that has copies of relevant RMS foundation and item data, and when hooked up at RMS can ideally create the PO over RIB.
    As we prefer packaged solutions over home built (buy-vs-build), is there anything on the market that you can recommend?
    Thanks and regards,

  • Assigning hours directly to a WBS without Network and activities

    I am setting up a Capital project without the use of activities and Networks. Thus confirmation will be assigned to WBS.
    Can hours confirmations form CATS be assigned directly to the WBS without the use of Activities?
    As I understand you need to set up the Data entry profiles
    Your help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Johnny

    Hi Johnny,
    Yes, set up a data entry profile which accepts the WBSE as receiver, create a simple HR personnel number & start your postings. It is this simple.
    You can test the same in your dev system. use CAT2 / CATS_APPR_LITE / CATA Tcodes.
    Find the actuals on WBSE in standard reports.

  • Procurement of external services

    Hi All,
    I want to procure external services for my Project. Also i need the option to check quality for the services performed. How to use the QM View in DIEN Material Master.
    When to use DIEN Material master & Service Master
    Need step by step procedure for complete cycle.

    Hi,
    Material type DIEN is used for when you offer "SERVICE" to your customer.( The steps are (VA01,VF01,VF04,F-28), If u used HR module( you can used with sales order with t.codes are: CAT2,CATS_APPR_LITE,CAT7,PR05,PRRW,PRFI)

    Note:Standard DIEN material type designed for Sales usage only , but you can use DIEN for Purchase also to avoid External Services Management.
    Note-2: As Service is an intangible material,since services cannot be stored, a material master record of this material type does not contain inventory data or inventory management data. To map in SAP, when you procure service from ur vendor, we do maintain Service master and create purchase order to vendor mentioning Cost Object and Item Category (D).

  • Service subcontracting

    hi grus,
    i want to know can i run subcontracting scenario for service? if yes how? in that case wether we hav to creat service master or we can make master record using material type dien? pls help also explain in that  case how to make gr by service entry sheet or by migo

    Hi ,
    Difficult to understand your question but you try to know when DIEN can be used and Service master, and then only you can design your business process.
    Material master records with material type DIEN is used for when you offer "SERVICE" to your customer.( The steps are (VA01,VF01,VF04,F-28), If u used HR module( you can used with sales order with t.codes are: CAT2,CATS_APPR_LITE,CAT7,PR05,PRRW,PRFI)
    Service master records(ESM) is used when you procure "SERVICE" from your vendor.( Steps are: ME21N with Item Cat. "D" with Acc. ***. Cat. "K" or "C", ML81N,MIRO & F-53).
    Service can be received, once vendor completed his service as Service Entry Sheet in T.code: ML81.Please note that Service entry sheet is the equivalent of a goods receipt from a materials point of view.

  • Prevent time entry in CAT2 when Internal Order or WBS is in TECO status

    Hello Team,
    We need to prevent time entry in CAT2 when an internal order is in TECO status. Looks like CAT2 is calling business transaction RFBU (FI: postings) which is allowed in TECO.
    I'm wondering whether I can isolate CAT2, so that we can prevent just the time entry. Any suggestions, please.
    Thanks!
    VJ

    Hi,
    Try creating a user status which will prevent the posting when WBS Status is TECO.If not, use the many user exits available in CAT2 and put in a custom code check for the status.

  • CAT2 - Reject timesheet with CATS_APPR_LITE

    We have an issue with the rejection of timesheet on CATS_APPR_LITE transaction.

  • Deletion of Leave which is in Status 'SENT' by employee in SAP HR

    Hi All,
    We are using BADI  (BAdI Definition PT_ABS_REQ) for leave validation. In this validation we are checking Current Leaves with the Leaves already applied (Approved / Non-approved).
    In this process, We are trying to DELETE a leave which is in status 'SENT'.
    Issue:
    When we CREATE a new leave, importing parameter of BADI is IM_ATTABS_TAB (type PTARQ_ATTABSDATA_TAB) -Operation = INS.
    And when we DELETE the leave with 'SENT' status, It is also coming IM_ATTABS_TAB - operation = INS.
    Due to above issue, my validation is getting triggered even in DELETE scenario which is not required.
    Please help on this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hemendra Singh

    to change the status by user, he can modify the hours in the application and resubmit
    For administrator purposes, you should cats_appr_lite, you can reject the all time and do it,
    Do not make any changes directly to CATSDB< it might cause inconsistency
    So better use standard transaction like cats_appr_lite or cats_da

  • User exit in CATS_APPR_LITE

    When transaction CATS_APPR_LITE is executed, the selection is done on the whole population.
    We want however to restrict the used population: when executing CATS_APPR_LITE, a Time Approver should only see the employees for whom he is allowed to approve time.
    Our implementation proposal is to use a user exit in CATS_APPR_LITE that calls a custom z-table (maintained in a custom transaction) containing for every employee (PERNR) who are his time approvers (one time approver and two back-ups) for a certain period in time.
    Our questions are:
    - which user exit is there available in CATS_APPR_LITE to call this custom z-table?
    - do you suggest a different method?
    Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Vincent Mahy

    Hi Vincent
    There seems to no user exits to the transaction mentioned. But there is a BADI CATS_REPORTING which is getting triggered while executing the tcode mentioned. Below are some of the methods which could be implemented, please sit with a ABAPer and check which one best suits your requirement,
    APPROVE_CATS_CLASSIC                     Automatic Approval of a CAT2 Data Record?: Yes/No
    APPROVE_CATS_SERVICE_PROVIDER     Automatic Approval of a CATSXT Data Record?: Yes/No
    APPROVE_TRIP                                     Automatic Approval of a Trip?: Yes/No
    AT_SELECTION_SCREEN                     PAI for Selection Screen
    AT_SELECTION_SCREEN_OUTPUT     PBO for Selection Screen
    AUTH_CHECK_CATS_CLASSIC                      Authorization Check for Working Time Data (CAT2)
    AUTH_CHECK_CATS_SERVICE_PROV     Authorization Check for Working Time Data (CATSXT)
    AUTH_CHECK_TRIP                                     Authorization Check for Trip Data
    BEFORE_CATS_DATA_SELECTION     Before Selection of CATS Data from Database

  • BDC not working for CATS_APPR_LITE

    Hi,
    Requirement: Auto-approval of time records for all employees (which are Released for Approval, status = 20)
    We tried to create a BDC program for transaction code CATS_APPR_LITE, it works for one time record. but when there are several time records (select all option is not there), the BDC is not working.
    Any idea / help.

    Simon,
    Requirement: Time record for reduced times should be approved by supervisor. we are using TS31000007 & BADI_CATS_APPROVAL to do this. this is working fine.
    But the requirement is to auto approve all time records (which are currently in approval with supervisor) on last day of the month. we want to use a batch job to do this.
    We tried using a BDC for CATS_APPR_LITE, but for several time records for several employees, the BDC is not working.
    Please advise.

  • CATS: Looking for user exit / badi for transaction code CAT4/CATS_APPR_LITE

    Hi,
    I have a task here that needs to send external email to the employee's manager whenever the approver set the status from 'released for approval' to 'approve'.
    which is status 20 to 30 in CATSDB-STATUS thru transaction code CAT4 or
    CATS_APPR_LITE.
    Can anyone give some help here?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    there are mainly three ways to trigger a workflow:
    - linked to a change document, because in standard function module to write change documents a trigger for a workflow is pre-designed. With workflow-customizing you can activate an active trigger.
    - linked to output messages. There is a medium 9, which is the workflow trigger.
    - linked to status changes. Maybe not all status  change functions include a pre-designed workflow trigger, but at least for status in table JEST it should be possible to make workflow-customizing to activate a trigger.
    - 'manually' with a function module SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
    It's also possible to define filters (e.g. only status = approved), so your example was perfectly fitting workflow possibilities. If no other option is fitting, have a look at above mentioned exit.
    Then you still have the question, should you try to define a workflow or just create a mail by FM. There I can't help you, this depends more on your skills and time.

    Christian
