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 <b><i>transfer of time data from Time sheet to HR system is asynchrounous.</i>
<i>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.</i></b>
Thanks,

  • 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

    You need to implement an implicit enhancement in function module: HRMSS_CAT_WD_APPROVAL as follows:

    CONSTANTS: c_fs_drill_down_data_appr(4) value 'APPR',

  • Purchase Order Approval through Mobile Phone / BlackBerry

    Dear fellows i am interested in Purchase Order Approval through Mobile Phone / BlackBerry. I have seen MSCA Mobile Supply Chain Application Guide but that is for telnet only devices and specific to supply chain. What are setup requirements to make PO approve though "Web App" or "Mobile App" as show in below image URL. We need to work it primarly on BlackBerry.
    http://www.exforsys.com/images/OracleApps/t10_files/image010.gif
    That will require logging in to EBS through Mobile and Making EBS available on Public IP !?! If this all fuss needs to be done then is there some Notification Alert type mechanism which sends email, but here a user could also reply that email with keywords to Approve or Reject that PO !?!
    Thank you.

    Dear Hussein, ur links are iPhone specific and also BPEL Connector specific ("Oracle Buisness Approvals for Managers" BPEL Connector). The links for Blackberry assume that i am atleast already getting emails on blackberry through EBS. Our env is through MS Exchange Server. Where as i believe from ur suggected docs that the EBS needs to have its own direct setup with blackberry
    In our current env we are using Oracle Alerts to Just send an email to user that PO for approval is waiting. We are NOT using "Oracle WorkFlow Notification Mailer". For blackberry will we be locked to use Workflow Mailer (i see patch 6802716 pre req also)!?! or we can still use simple Alerts!?!
    following thread says type "approve" in reply whereas metalink guides tell a URL to click in email. will it be a ...
    href="mailto:[email protected]?body=approve"
    type URL!?!
    http://oracle.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/oracle-apps-l/po-approval-through-mail-3077383
    ===============================================================
    There are a couple of steps that need to be complete before this will work.
    Pre- Req's
    1. Associate all apps users / approvers with email addresses
    2. sync apps users with workflow
    3. Check workflow users to make sure email is set to HTML.
    4. Configure and enable workflow mailer. You will need configuration information for the email service being used and a mailbox on the email service.
    5. Send a test message from workflow mailer to an apps user.
    If this is successful, then email based approval will work. If the user tries to approve using a smart phone (blackberry, etc.) they will have to hit reply and type approve as the message for approval to work.
    this guy also points to this idea.

    Approving Requisitions/PO’s in Oracle E-Business Using Blackberry Devices
    Presentation of a solution using Blackberry Devices to approve requisitions and purchase orders in Oracle E-Business Suite. This solution required creating a text message to send to Blackberry users, and modifying the Workflow Java Mailer to be able to correctly read the default messages being sent back from blackberry devices. In addition, profile options were created that allowed simple key strokes to be translated into Approve or Reject options recognized by Oracle Workflow Java Mailer.

    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
