CATS approval Issue

Hi,
We have some attendance for an employee for October 2011. One day attendance for 04/10/2011 is not appearing on IT 2002. Pulled CADO report to see the status of the attendance and it shows the status as In Process. Tried to approve the attendance using the tcode CTA6, CAPP, CAT4, but unable to approve as it is not getting listed when the tcode is executed.
Reason for doing this approval is employee entered entered the attendance using the PORTAL but this was not transfrred to IT 2002.
aNY ADVICE WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
tAHNKS

Thanks the issue is now resolved. Rule was not to apply attendances in advance. As employees applied there attendances before the actual day system was throwing an error. Employee deleted the attendances booked in advance and reapplied after the actual day of attendnace. After this action all went well.

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

Hi Nazeer,
The value of Tan(45) is beng wrongly calculated by ABAP because internally the data type for all the Trignometric functions are represented as Floating point numbers.
Please refer to this:
The results of the following functions have the data type f:
     Trigonometric functions: cos, acos, sin, asin, tan, atan
     Hyperbolic functions: tanh, sinh, cosh
     Exponential functions (base e): exp
     Natural logarithms (base e): log
     Logarithms (base 10): log10
     Square root: sqrt
In case you have any further clarifications,do let me know.

CATS Approval through MSS WD - Default to "Resubmit All" than "Approve All"

Hi,
Is there any possibility to change the CATS Portal WD Timesheet Approval defaults to "Resubmit All" than "Approve All"?
Any input or feedback is highly appreciated.

To default the Resubmit all:
WD CATS Approval through MSS - Default to "Resubmit All" - HRMSS_CAT_WD_APP
To change the sort:
WD CATS Approval through MSS - sorting the options "Resubmit All, etc"

Cats Approval through MSS WD

Hi
My Client needs Cats Approval like this,We are implementing cProjects with CATS, we want approvals through MSS.
Scenario is Approver for the time sheet entries of particular project is respective project manager not immediate supervisor. Inorder to create work item in the proj manager's worklist for cats approval what logic i should use to identify the project manager of a particular project as an approver?
pls give the steps to be followed for workflow and standard config aswell as any Badi to be used to fulfill this requirement.
Regards
Ram

approval based on attributes can be handled by feature CATEX or the standard badi BADI_CATS_APPROVAL
Please read the help documentation of this badi or in spro
it is self explanatory

CATS approval through BWSP

Hi,
In EP 7 when a CATS Overtime entry is approved it gets updated immediately to the infotype. On the Workplace setup this is not happening thus the user would run CAT6 to transfer the approved entries.
Is this the standard behavior of EP in terms of CATS approval through BWSP?
Hope to hear replies.
Thanks and best regards.

You have option for "Direct Transfer to HR in your data entry profile" but this is not possible when an approval is required. For update after approvals you need to schedule the report RPTEXTPT on a periodic basis.
SAP help states that the transfer of time data from Time sheet to HR system is asynchrounous.
Time data from external systems is stored in the interface tables PTEXDIR and PTEX2000 in
Report RPTEXTPT (External Transfer Time Management) enables data to be read from the
PTEX2000 file and then stored as absences or attendances in the Absences (2001) or
Attendances (2002) infotypes.
The report RPTEXTPT (External Transfer Time Management) can also be
scheduled periodically as a batch job.
Thanks,
Prasath N

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.

u201CFirst day 05.02.2011 of attendance/absence is a day off (att./absence type 05.02.2011u201D
But the issue is this warning message gets repeated twice as following .
u201CFirst day 05.02.2011 of attendance/absence is a day off (att./absence type 05.02.2011u201D
u201C First day 05.02.2011 of attendance/absence is a day off (att./absence type 05.02.2011)u201D
I want user should get only one messageu2026

Vivek D Jadhav
Edited by: Vivek D Jadhav on Jan 21, 2011 1:30 PM

Hi Sid.,
Thanks for your reply ........very helpful......
However, the message duplication issue is occurring for one particular attendance call
"Annual Leave (0850)" apart from this attendance the system throws only one message as expected.
Any idea u2026.
I have chked the configuration all are in sync....
Furthermore u2026u2026.
For attendance type for which system works fine for them only one message gets displayed i.e u201CFirst day 05.02.2011 of attendance/absence is a day off (att./absence type 05.02.2011)u201D,
The system should throw following two message as well .
1. Last day &1 of attendance/absence is a day off (att./absence type &2)
2. Attendance/absence &1 - &2 during non-working period (att./abs.type &3)
We have done configuration related for these messages In view u201CT554Su201D for attendance type u201C0850u201D we have configured following input checks .
First day is day off        W ( Warning message )
Last day is day off        W
Non-working period       W
Any idea

Purchase Order Approval Issue

Hi! Experts ,
I'm using SAP 8.81 PL05, We are sending PO's for Approval, Once the PO's got approved I'm Unable to do some changes , For all Approved PO's Row Level got blocked we can't change the Price,Project Code, TAX etc. I know SAP Released some Patch level fixing these types of Issues. Can any one help me which patch level we can send approval po's for re approval.

Hi KamalaKamalakKannan,
I think there's really no way for you to make changes for a PO that went through an approval procedure because that's the whole point of having one. I'm not sure of the fix, but what I can suggest though is GRPO or AP custodian to make the necessary changes if they make a "copy from" entry. I had the same problem before, and that's how we are able to make the necessary changes.
thanks,

PO Approval Issue

Hi,
We have a problem with the Workflow Nofitication page resolving with the host name of our server. I have some POs pending that need approved. Is there any other way a Purchasing Superuser can approve these POs/Releases that are in process?
Thank you
A/A

Nothing different. Entered a new release for a blanket PO and send it to approval . The approver can't get to the notification window because of DNS issues (we are working on that). How else can the PO be approved?..thx

Content Approval Issue

I am using a Forms Library with an InfoPath form as the content type and would like to have it for the user to only see their own and the manager (approver). My issue is that when I turn on the content approval, all the forms go to "Approved"
(just like expected) and then I set the status back to pending (so not everyone can see) and it makes it so no one excepted the Approvers can see any form. As soon as I turn it off, it goes back to the normal way.
Has anyone encountered this before? If so, what was the work around? It works for new content, but I want to make it work for the old content as well.
Pat Petersen

When you Publish the InfoPath form, you can publish the infoPath fields as Columns to SharePoint List. Later You can use to Create filtered Views so that they can see forms created by them or if they are the Supervisor.
We have achieved a similar for Leave Application. Username and Supervisor and Status fields are published as columns. Which I later used in the views to filter User=[Me] or Supervisor =[Me].
This will not work if the Users have permissions to create their own views.
