CAT2 duplicate PS network activities showing in personal template

Hello,
We are using SAP_APPL 4.7, support pack 22 and SAP_HR 4.7, support pack 10. 
I don't know much about CATS & PS, but I provide our end user support.
We are using transaction CAT2 to report hours worked against PS network activities.  We have run into a glitch when using the 'Save as Template' feature which creates a personal template.  In our situation a person will add a network activity in the data entry area of CAT2.  After they input their time they press the 'save as template' icon.  Then when they enter CAT2 the following week to report their time, the network activity is still listed in the data entry area for them to enter their time.  This part is working fine. 
Now let's assume someone goes into project systems (CJ20N) and changes the network activity description (which shows in CAT2 as a informational output field).  The person entering time then goes into CAT2.  Their template is showing the network activity in the data entry area with the old description.  When they input their hours and press enter, the new network activity description is pulled in on the time sheet, overlaying the old original description.  At this point they still see one entry in their time sheet.  Now here is the glitch - if the person goes in the following week to enter their time, they see two entries in the data entry area - one with the old description and one with the new description.  Both records show the same network activity number, but now 2 records are appearing in their template because the description changed.
Our 'work around' has been to have people delete their personal template and recreate it from scratch if they see these 'double entries' due to a description change.  Does anyone know a better way to handle this or if there is 'fix' that we can apply to correct this issue so we don't see two records?  I did some looking in OSS, the only duplicate entry reference I could find was OSS note 1058293, however it was related to WBSs and was not for our release.  Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi Debbie.
When writing into CAT2 screen data is pulled when pressing enter. If a person has a wrong cost center, e.g., this cannot be changed by changing the persons cost center only. All the hours have to be deleted and rewritten for CAT2 then pulling the correct cost center.
Considering this behaviour of the system it would be a consequence that CAT2 pulls the new text but lets the existing entries unchanged.
You have not said anything about the written hours. Are these duplicated as well? If you open an OSS because of this I'd be curious to hear about the answer.
Best regards.

  • MM-SRV:  CAT2 Posting to Network Activities for external employees

    Dear All
    I am working on an ECC6.0 implementation and trying to post CAT2 timesheet data to a Network Activity for external employee.  I have used this process extensively on 4.6c and it works fine, even though SAP Note 653209 says this is not possible.
    Before I contact SAP directly I wondered if anyone else out there has overcome the problem of booking to a NWA for external employee.  My error messages are LR103 “Enter an account assignment”.  Strangely, if the plant is different the posting is allowed but no NWA assignment is transferred during CATM.
    Thanks for any help anyone can give.
    Jules

    Hi,
    In control key (PS02 for ext. act.) settings, Tcode: OPSU, you can define confirmation parameter. Generally it is maintained as "Confirmation possible but not necessary".
    You are already aware about this setting and there is no specific different setting for ext. act. in CATS entry profile.
    Reward points if useful.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

    Under settings, Wi-Fi it shows my network name and under the Wi- Fi menu, chose a Network it shows it is searching for my network by name and continues to run and run without finding the network.
    Prior to updating to iOs 6.3.1 my system worked perfectly.
    Can anybody help please.

  • Automatic release of network activities

    We are currently completing the configuration/implementation of the
    Project System module.
    We want SAP to automatically release the following network activities
    upon final confirmation of an activity.
    As an example, letu2019s say we have a simple network of 3 activities:
    Activity 10 (Predecessor of activity 30, type of relationship
    is FS with activity 30)
    Activity 20 (Also predecessor of activity 30, type of
    relationship is FS with activity 30)
    Activity 30 (Successor of activities 10 and 20u2026therefore,
    activities 10 and 20 are predecessors of activity 30)
    Based on these relationships, before activity 30 may begin (or may be
    released), both activities 10 and 20 must have been completed.
    If a u201Cfinal confirmationu201D is set on activity 10, we want SAP to
    automatically set the u201Creleaseu201D status on activity 30 if, and only if
    activity 20 is also final confirmed.
    We are trying to accomplish this using the milestone function
    If we put a milestone on activity 10u2026
    In the milestone, we:
    Set the u201Cfunctionsu201D indicator
    Select the function u201C Release following activitiesu201D
    Enter the status CNF for confirmed in the u201CSyst.STS u201Cfield.
    Set the u201CChange statusu201D indicator to +
    Letu2019s say we now have the following statuses on the network activities:
    Activity 10 = REL
    Activity 20 = REL
    Activity 30 = CRTD
    Then, if we final confirm (status CNF) on activity 10, SAP triggers the
    milestone function and release activity 30, even if activity 20 is not
    confirmed yet!!!
    After final confirmation of activity 10, the statuses on the network
    activities are:
    Activity 10 = CNF
    Activity 20 = REL
    Activity 30 = REL
    Why is it releasing activity 30, even if activity 20 is not confirmed?
    Activity 20 must be completed also before activity 30 may be
    released!!??
    Therefore, in this situation described, when the milestone on activity
    10 was triggered by the final confirmation of activity 10, activity 30
    should not have been released.
    Activity 30 should be released only when activity 10 and 20 would have
    the status CNF.
    What am I missing?
    How can I setup the milestone so it reacts properly, taking into
    account the relationships between the activities?
    I look forward to your inputs.
    Thanks
    Frederick

    Hello Frederick,
    unfortunately scenario described will not work. I. e. milestone function does not consider status of the other activity and will release the directly linked activity.
    One may check whether required logic can be implmenented in customer exit CNEX0028 (not CNEX0029).
    As an alternative one may try to implement the logic in a substitution exit to trigger status change via ABAP internal function calls. However this requires a deep understanding of ABAP and of PS code.
    Kind regards

  • Solaris 10 network status shows 'disconnected' & cannot ping out

    Hi,
    In my solaris 10 sparc t4-1 server, the network status shows 'disconnected'

    Please help
    thanks

    Sounds like it's either infrastructure or faulty hardware. Are you sure the port is turned on that you are plugging into?

  • ECP with network activities and sales pricing

    Hi experts,
    Currently I have configured the system so that I can plan costs by assigning Easy Cost Planning templates to network activities and WBS elements. However, when I try to create quotation (sales pricing) from Project Builder (CJ20N), the planned costs of ECP templates assigned to network activities does not appear, only the planned costs of ECP directly assigned WBS element appears.
    Thanks in advance.
    Hieu Nguyen

    After extensive testing, I believe doing sales pricing from Project Builder would not work correctly when using ECP with network activity. Sales pricing from Project Builder will only work properly if ECP only assigned to WBS element.
    If you need to use ECP with network activities, you would need to use DP82 to do the sales pricing.

  • How to use BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN to create network activities under WBS elements ?

    Hello ABAPers,
    I have been using BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN to create Project and WBS elements and I have done them without any errors.
    Now I need help on how to create network activities.
    Can anyone share on how to pass data to I_NETWORK table and I_ACTIVITY table and a brief description on what they are ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Kiran

    Hi Kiran,
    Do the following steps
    1.pass the following to i_method_project
    method_project-refnumber = lv_refnum.
    method_project-objecttype = 'NETWORK-ACTIVITY'.
    method_project-method = 'UPDATE'.
    concatenate aufnr(network nr) vornr(activity) into method_project-objectkey.
    2.Into i_activity
    activity-network = aufnr.
    activity-activity = vornr.
    3.i_activity_update
    activity_update-network = 'X'.
    activity_update-activity = 'X'.
    It should work.If not let me know.

  • Planning network activities

    Hi all,
    I have a question related to project planning.
    I would like to plan the network activities per cost element and per period (year/month) as this is a customer requirement . However, in the end i would have a lot of cost elements per wbs elements which i think it would not be user friendly. How could i manage this in a easier way? Moreover, some of these activities have several delivery dates which i think it complicates the project planning (even in several years)
    Moreover, as far as i know, it is not possible to copy the activities real values to a plan version. How can i manage this using the sap standard functions?
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    Different WBS can have different Responsible Cost centres and Required cost centre. However we can define the network cost centre depending upon the type of activity we are doing. The settlement of the root WBS will clubbed all the cost from different activity -- > Different Network --> Different Levels WBS to the root WBS.
    Hope this will help.

    Hi! I brought an iPhone 4 off my friend at work. The day I brought it, it was working fine but now I can't seem to send any messages or make phone calls. The network is showing up fine but each time I try to make a call it says "call failed" I can't seem to send any messages either? I can use the Internet fine and everything else on the phone. Can anyone help?

    Hi chelsinator,
    You can reset the phone and it won't cause any problems or cause you to lose any data - Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears.
    The other thing you should do is to reset your network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to set up your Wifi again, but that oftentimes clears things up.

  • Networks not showing up in airport

    My airport is on, but no networks are showing up. Just started to happen. Everything was fine until I installed an airport express. The airport express is on and working, but not showing up as a network too.
    Any thoughts out there?
    Thanks!

    Same problem here. Although I'm using Leopard from a clean install. It says searching when i first click open the AP menu open, but then it just shows the network I'm on. Though once and awhile the other networks briefly show up too.....

    I don't know much about computers, so please be patient. I started using Airport and I recently noticed a "network" option right below "Macintosh HD". When I click on "network" it shows "b67446000000" with a computer monitor icon and "connection failed". When I right click on this and select "Get more info" it displays nothing, just the spinning wheel. When I select "Connect As" it asked for my password to connect to "Server b67446000000". This may have been on my computer since I got it, I never paid much attention. Is this part of the operating system or has someone hijacked my computer? Why would I need a server...it's just me and my one computer? Maybe someone has hacked in through Airport? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Is your airport a Time Capsule.. if so it is able to serve files on the network.
    The number is the MAC address of the network in the router.
    Please reset the apple router whatever is and redo the setup.. this time give it a simple name.. eg TCgenX where X is the actual gen of the unit and give it a simple wireless name.. TCwifi and a simple password with 8-20 characters mix of upper and lower case and numbers.
    Perhaps even better give me a screenshot from the computer of the airport utility showing me the Airport with its MAC address.
