Employee information missing in CAT2 time entry data view

Hi,
We upgrade our system and when we go to time entry data view, we lost the employee information like Personnel number and cost center which displayed before upgrade.
I checked with Tcode CAC2, nothing found. But My guess is Personnel number and Cost center will be coming default.
Please let me know, where I can look in to it.

Hey Guys,
You should ensure that for any configuration, the Modifiable and Influences you have a Hide entry. This way you will not be able to show the field. Kindly check the on CAC2 these both sections:
- Modifiable
- Influences.
Thank you.

Changing default Work Center during CATS time entry

Hi Folks,
I am hoping someone here can throw some expert advice.
Currently during time entry in CATS, we have Work Center coming in from the Work Order. Its getting defaulted without any option to change it. Business here has a need to change it. I have llooked into the CATS profile to see if there is a place that enable the WC to be defaulted.
In Transaction CAC1, there is a section that shows what fields are being defaulted during CAT2 time entry. However I do not see the Work Center as one of the option there.
Can any one help?
In short, where do we disable the defaulting of the WC from the Word Order during time entry?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Adding to what Kapil said; if the work centre is a grayed out in time shet screen then you can go to CAC2 transaction and make it editable. By this way users will be able to change the work centre on screen.

CAT2 for Time Entry (single and multiple)

Hello all,
We have been using CATW for time entry and CAT2 for multiple time entry and have security set up accordingly. We're thinking of moving to CAT2 for all time entry but need to make sure we can configure to allow single time entry for those reporting only their own time, and multiple time entry for those reporting their own as well as others. I think this may be doable between a combination of security and IMG/Data Entry profile work. Does anyone have any experience using CAT2 in this way?
Thanks,
Doug

First create a data entry profile/CVR through SPRO for a time sheet,
Then assign this profile to a user through user parameter CVR (Cats Variant for Recording) in the table USR05.
This CVR is used in CAT2 to access the time sheet corresponding to the profile assigned to the user.
Thanks

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.

Prohibit new Time Entries and Expenses; Allow old ones to be posted

Hello Experts,
We only use PS with WBSes only (no network activity confirmation)
As wel we use CATS and Travel Management.
We post Time entries via transaction CAT 2 and expenses via PR05.
We have a business scenario, where we have to cancel a project - using a User Status 'CANCELLED'.
We need to differentiate between Time and Espenses posted before and after this status has been set: New ones prohibited,existing ones allowed to be further processed.
We need to prohibit NEW Time and Expenses postings - when the user runs CAT2 or PR05 - the behavior should be similar to teh message that we get when teh WBS status is CREATED.
However we have to ALLOW the approval of T&E and transfer to Controlling for the Time and Expenses that have already been posted before the Project was set tu User status 'cancelled'.
How can we solve this puzzle? Is it a combination of user statuses / transactions or a user exit we have to implement.
It seems that in order o prohibit Time entries the business tansaction 'Actual Activity Allocation' has to be prohibited, butthis prohibits both new time entries as well existing ones to be posted to Controlling.
Same for expenses - only that the business transaction is FI : Postings - prohibited - but it prohibits too much - both new and existing expenses.
Your advise will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
LT

Hi,
I hope you can use two exits for the validation data with respect to appropriate status from JCDO table along with date for the mentioned WBS element to code, i.e. it for the validation of the entry to be posted whether time or expense.
For CATS : CATS0003
For Travel Expense : RPRCST01

CATS Time entries confirmation issue

Hi
We CATS for time recording OverTime hours, CAT2 for entries, CAT4/CAPP for authorisation where all the entries are aprroved and no issues. At times we use CAT6 for approval making sure we approved all the inputs before processing for Time Evaluation. Once these are approved they get updated in HR Master Data which is the time infotypes. Note I have been using this for last few months everything was fine.
We use this at different sites, but now we have a problem at one site recently where the entries are getting approved but not updating the HR Master Data and the OT hours are getting picked up by the Time Evaluation driver.
Thanks

Now its resolved.

Hiding custom column in Weekly view of the Time Entry in ESS

We have added a custom field to time entry (CAT2). This field is displaying in both (weekly and daily) view of the time entry screen in ESS. Our requirement is too display the field only in daily view.
Is there a way to hide the custom column in the weekly view of the time sheet in ESS?
Thank you,
Rohit

well it would require modification to the iview , it wont be a easy quickfix cause you lauch the iview it is built using CAC2 field customisation
you can explore Personalisation for the daily view hope it can work!

How to handle the One-Time Customer Process (Customizations - Master Datas)

How can we handle the processes of one time customers (for example sales from a store without a warranty process fort he products)? Iu2019m planning of creating a different sales document type and use a single customer number for all of the documents created. On the other hand SAP has a solution for the one-time customers but I donu2019t know its details. Can anybody explain me the standard one-time customer process of SAP (the needed customizations and the master datas to be created)?
Thanks in advance for the answers....

Hi..
the one-time customer is an account group (CPDA) that is used for "walk-in" or "cash" buyers. although this account group can be used for regular sales orders, this is intended to be used with the Cash Sales type of sales documents, where no accounts receivable is created. you also need the one-time customer as a "dummy" and avoid creating many customer masters for buyers who may only do one transaction with your company.
when you use the one-time customer account group in the Cash Sales order, you enter the one-time customer number in the sold-to party field. the system will then prompt you to enter the actual name (and address) of the buyer. you can have the option of generating SD reports with the real names of the customers.
you create the one-time customer the same way you do with the regular Sold-to party. there are some differences, in the sense that this is a "dummy" account. you do XD01 or VD01 to create the account, choosing account group CPDA. you also make entries in the sales areas.

TIME dimension processing fails saying "..attribute key cannot be found.." in EPM 10

After upgrading from version 7.5 to EPM 10, when we ran a ‘Full Process’ on the TIME dimension, it ran into an error saying “Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found when processing: Table: 'dbo_tblFactCapEx', Column: 'TIMEID', Value: '20090013'. The attribute is 'Time_TIMEID'. (1/13/2015 2:41:02 PM)”.
Full error message is attached herewith – ‘Time Dimension Error.txt’
After researching, we did discover that MONTHNUM needed to be converted to BASE_PERIOD. Re-processed which produced the same error.
Prior to migration to version 7.5, we ran a full process on TIME dimension there. It completed successfully, confirming the issue is only with version 10.
Confirmed we could see the TIMEID value of 20090013 in the following places:
Time Dimension in the appropriate TIMEID attribute column.
Confirmed mbrTIME table had base member ID with TIMEID attribute filled out correctly.
Data in tblFactFINANCE could be pulled using that TIMEID
We truncated all the records in all the fact tables associated to this TIME dimension.
Eventually, when none of the tables had any records, the TIME dimension then processed successfully.
We this began to suspect the issue may not really be related to bad records.
We conducted one more test to confirm this.
Using an input form in EPM 10, we manually entered data in one of the models (at this point none of the fact tables have any records)
Ran Full Optimize on that model with Compress Database and Index Defragmentation checked – This step failed with the error attached in ‘MatrixRateFullOptimize.txt’
Ran Full process on Time Dimension – Failed indicating issue with TimeID 2012001 (that’s my manual entry). Attached error report ‘TimeDim Error MatrixRate.txt’
At this point, the table only contains the manually entered records (no suspected bad records)
We then suspected there could have been an issue with the upgrade process.
So we reprocessed all the dimension and optimized all the models in version 7.5, made a new backup and restored it to version 10.
The issue still persisted!
At this point, we have tried all the possibilities we could think of. Each time the fact table is populated with records, the TIME dimension process fails indicating ‘the attribute key’ cannot be found.
There is probably something in the OLAP partition that is not able to link the dimension attributes to the cubes.
Additional Information:
Please find attached the existing Time Dimension – TimeDimensionMembers.xlxs
Version of Excel used: Excel 2007, SP3 MSO (12.0.6683.5000)
System Specs: Please see screenshot below.

Thank you all for responding! This issue is resolved.
Here’s what the issue was:
The time structure is TOTAL >> Years >> Quarters >> Months (e.g. T.ALL >> 2012.TOTAL >> 2012.Q1 >> 2012.P01)
As shown in the screenshot below, the LEVEL for ‘T.ALL’ member was set to YEAR, which is incorrect (we can’t have Year rolling up to a Year)
We changed the LEVEL to ‘TOTAL’ and this fixed the issue!!
If only it gave a better error message than the “..attribute key not found” message

Time Entry

Hi All,
Will the system allow an employee with Inactive status to enter time in CATS? If no, is there way we can allow this to happen in the cat2 transaction.
Thanks,
Rajiv

Hi Pranay,
To activate Time entry icon, you can enhance the FM-BBP_PDH_SEARCH_PO_FOR_CONF_INV. In this Fm, at the end if the backend po is of type c_b_po, then time entry is deactivated.You can add your own logic to activate this button.

Sanjeev

Assertion_Failed dump when accessing Design Time for Processes & Forms EP3

After exhausting SAP note searches and the SDN community forums, blogs & wiki searches, I decide to make my first SDN post:
After installing Enhancement Pack 3 to the base ECC 6.0, we got the Design Time for Processes & Forms node in the IMG under HR Administrative Services. I was able to get in to it the very first time without any issues; however once I selected one of the sample SAP processes, I received an "Assertion_Failed" dump in the section of code saying a referenced node must exist. In debugging, we did see a node that is referencing a node that does not exist, which is causing the dump. The dump occurs in CL_HRASR00_DT_OBJECT_BROWSER, Method ASSERT_OBJ_HIER_IS_CONSISTENT (line 71).
I now get this dump each time I try to execute the Design Time for Processes & Forms node in the IMG. Note: when accessing process the old way, there is no issue.
To me is seems like either EP3 was not installed completely, something went wrong in the activation of those business functions, or the copy of the sample forms from client 000 did not grab everything. In debugging, it appears that the missing reference node is related to some form scenario node. Also note that all the steps under Technical Settings were completed.
Has anyone seen this issue before?
Thanks for any help you can give. If I find the solution, I will post the answer here as well.

Hi Jeff,
I believe we had the same issue here.
There is an SAP Note (below) for this. Please let me know if this works.
Note 1075650 - New Design Time tool Corrections for the dump
Note Language: English Version: 1 Validity: Valid from 18.07.2007
Summary
Symptom
Dump on executing the transaction HRASR_DT which starts the new design time
tool of the HR Administrative services
More Terms
Design time tool HRASR_DT HRadmin
Cause and Prerequisites
Solution
The solution to the dump occuring would be resolved by applying the SP
Alternately the dump can be
resolved by performing the following steps manually :
1.Start SE16 transaction
2.Give the table name as T5ASRDTOBJHIER and press RETURN key
3.Execute the Selection screen by pressing on F8 Key
4.Select the following entries:
i. OBJECT TYPE = PROCESS and NODE TYPE = PROC_REF_FSCN_DIRECT
ii.OBJECT TYPE = PROCESS and NODE TYPE = PROC_REF_FSCN_DIRECT_START
5. Click on EDIT entries button on the header
6. Enter in the field REF_OBJECT_TYPE the value as FORM_SCENARIO
7. Click on the Next button on the header bar to navigate to the next entry
8. Repeat Step 6 for this entry also
9. Save the modification
Additionaly, perform the following steps as well:
1.Start SE16 transaction
2.Give the table name as T5ASRDTTOOLS and press RETURN key
3.Execute the Selection screen by pressing on F8 Key
4.Click on CREATE entry button on the header
5.Enter the following to create a new entry:
TOOL TYPE = FSCN_MSG_MAPPER
OPERATION = DISPEDIT
TOOL CLASSNAME = CL_HRASR00_DT_FST_MESSAGE_MAP
6. Enter the following to create a new entry:
TOOL TYPE = PROC_EXEC_FREQUENCY
OPERATION = DISPEDIT
TOOL CLASSNAME = CL_HRASR00_DT_PRT_EXEC_FREQ
7. Save the new entries
These adjustments should resolve the dumps hindering to start the new
design time tool

ESS portal- Time Entry

HI Experts,
I have to do some validation by restricting the user not to change the Time Entries more that 6 pay period in the past. I ahve a user Exit
CATS0003 where i think i can do that by putting some validation on the Date selected by user for the changes.
My question is if i implement this User exit ..will it be appleid to Portal Also .
Regards
Shekhar

This exit is valid both for CAT2 and CATS WD ie portal
something like this
FORM fc_next.
DATA: umesg LIKE mesg.
DATA: ucheck_call_mode(1) TYPE c VALUE '1'.
DATA: ucall_mode(1) TYPE c VALUE space.
DATA: simulate TYPE c.
right border reached?
IF catsfields-dateto GE catsfields-dateright.
MESSAGE i044.
for specific dates code the exit
dateright = sy-datum + 42.
dateleft = sy-datum - 28.
IF fields-workdate LE dateleft.
i_messages-msgty = 'E'.
i_messages-msgid = 'LR'.
i_messages-msgno = '044'.
APPEND i_messages.
ENDIF.
IF fields-workdate GE dateright.
i_messages-msgty = 'E'.
i_messages-msgid = 'LR'.
i_messages-msgno = '044'.
APPEND i_messages.
ENDIF.

Time Entry by Percentage in OTL

We have a requirement to enter time in OTL by percentage of time worked rather than by exact hours. This means rather than entering 20 hours of project1 and 20 hours on project2 (for a work-week of 40 hours), users would like to enter 50% on project1 and 50% on project2.
Is there a functionality in OTL like this? We are on 11.5.9 of E-business suite.
Thanks,
Ketul.

This may require a more complex answer. But, initially, here are my ideas on simple solutions.
OTL is designed to record HOURS. But, as long as all your downstream processes can cope with it, all you really need to do is capture a NUMBER. So a % figure could be used.
You will need to have some Time Entry Rules to ensure that a total figure of not more than 100% is recorded per day.
If you are using Payroll, then at some stage the amount recorded needs to be converted to hours for payment. If you do not want to use the % figure for payments, then record the elements as 'Information'.
Or, you could keep the HOURS as hours and add a new timecard component for the % figure. You would then have to map this using MAPPING COMPONENTS and MAPPINGS to a CONTEXT in the OTL_INFORMATION_TYPES DFF.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Tim
