CATS Confirmation

Hi,
I want system to return an error message while activity confirmation through CAT5 if my planned hours are less than actual hours. Is there any settings in configuration or can i achieve this functionality thru any BADI etc...
Thanks & Regards
Abhinay

Hi Abhinay,
In OPST, Network Order Type and Plant combination (i.e., Order Type+Plant) screen
Just check the Work Deviation check box but don't enter any value in the work deviation field.
Once you do the above changes and try your CATS scenario.
You can get the warning message like "Actual work + remaining work exceeds planned work"
Pl. let me know the whether it fulfilled your requirement.
Best Regards,
Vemula

Document number-PM order confirmation by IW41

Hi,
For PM work order confirmations, I want to fetch the document number. In which table can I find the document number stored? I found it in AFRU-CATSBELNR, but only for CATS confirmation. For confirmation of work order through IW41 transaction, is there any table where I get the document number?
Thanks and Regards,

Milestone billing through PS confirmation

Hi All,

On confirmation of project stock, i raise a delivery order wrt to sales order.
I have assigned milestone billing plan in sales order which will be subsequently confirmed by PS.
But in sales order if i have mentioned 100 nos. but delivered 80 nos.
when i go for billing it is accepting sales order and copying 100 nos. for billing but actually it has to copy from delivery document.
Can you please help me in this??

Hi,
Confirmations document the state of processing for activities and activity elements in a network, and can be used to forecast progress in the future.
Precise confirmations are very important for realistic and accurate project planning.
You can make confirmations directly in the Project System or by using the following functions:
Confirmation via Time Sheets (CATS)
Confirmation via Intranet (PS-CON)
Confirmation in External Systems (PDC)
Decentralized Confirmation using MS-ACCESS
Open Project System

CProjects 4.0 - CATS scenario: Details of confirmed hours in cProjects

Hi Experts,
Do you know how can I see the details of the confirmed hours in cProjects (I mean, depending on the cProjects task)? I would like to know for a certain amount of hours that appear as confirmed, who has posted them, when, and to which WBS element.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Neil

Hi Neil,
It is very interesting question. The two tables mentioned by Vivek should be the right tables to get such information. But I still not 100 percent sure, if the link between two tables are the CATSDB~COUNTER <->
DPR_CONF_LI~CPR_CABA_BELNR.
The table CATSDB is in the ERP system, where you entry the hours via cats. And some inforamtion will be transfered to cProject system into DB table DPR_CONF_LI.
It may be sufficient to use the CATSDB solely.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

CATs timesheet - Network confirmations

We book time spent on a project through CATs timesheet. Once we book in the hrs in an HR client it gets transfered through IDOCs to the project residing in another client. the transfer creates a network confirmation document. Now due to some reason if there is a requirement to modify the time posted we have to delete the entire confirmation document and repost balance hrs to the project. I know that it is not possible to post -ve hrs in CATs. Also it is very difficult to correlate the time booked to its confirmation document, Is there a way out?

Normally, you can go back into the timesheet and cancel/delete the hours posted to the project and the cancellation is posted to the project automatically. You can then book the hours to a different project/NWA and transfer to PS (CAT5). Looks at this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/64/400b2b470211d189720000e8322d00/frameset.htm
You will need to make sure your data entry profile allows changing approved hours. However, I honestly don't know how the process works with IDocs.

CProjects task confirmation through CATS

Hi all,
We are on ECC6.0. We want to confirm tasks in cProjects through CATS. We've made the required settings in the data entry profile for CATS, and in the Project Type of cProjects.
We are not using any approval procedure in CATS for time recording and release. However, on saving the timesheet, there are no confirmation documents posted in the table DPR_CONF_LI.
Are we missing anything? Please suggest.
Regards,
Vivek Pandey

Hi Amit,
I don't have any specific documents for cProjects & CATS integration. However i am describing few steps for integration point of view.
There are essential four condtions, which influence the items in time sheet
1. The customizing of the CATS Data Entry Profiles must be set correctly.
2. The Link between the personal numer (Cat2) and Business Partner (cProject) must be maintained correctly.
3. The business partner must be assigned to a role or task within the used time period
4. The involved cProject objects (role or task) must have a accounting assignment.
Apart from this, your data entry profile for time entry need to be configured properly.
Hope this will help you.

Reports i can use to confirm the CATS time transfer to PS

Hello All,
I have integrated the SAP PS with CATS and I want to know which all reports i can use to confirm the PS transfer is successful.
As soon as the CAT5 is run and time is transferred i want a report for the confirmations of the transfer is successful.
I am trying to use the CJI3 but that report is not clear because it does not give the informations on the hours transferred, and
many times i get no line items to be selected.
Why i get no line items selected when i pass the project ID in CJI3. ??

Confirmation by CATS

Hi
I am confirming through CATS for the PS, When I try to copy the activity from the work list to the Data entry view the error message comes "The attendance/absence type 00/0800 does not exist on 02.06.2008 Message no. HRTIM00CATS081. I checked the attendence type tha valid date is upto 31.12.2008.
Could you please help in this .
Thanks and Regards
Vikas,

Hi,
Try this path
SPRO>personnel management>Time management>Attendance/Actual working hours>Define attendance types.
Once you define type 800 in it. Then default it in Data entry profile. (SPRO>cross application components>Time sheet>CATS classic>Data Entry profile.)

Confirmation Transfer Issue through CATA run

Hi All,
In CJI3 report, still Actual Cost is appearing against reversed timesheet entry.
Scenario: User had done some timesheet entry against Network activity and ther CATA job run. After some days, User again changed the timesheet with New Network and Activity number. But still CJI3 report is showing cost against old Netowrk Number. Its not getting Cancelled/reversed. In CAT2/CADO/CATS_DA its appearing properly.
I think there may be some issue in CATA job run.
Could you please tell me what are the possible causes that s why these confirmation can not get cancelled?
Also if you provide solution, then it would be great for me.
Many Thanks in advance.
Swapnil Kharul

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

Confirmation thru CATS

hello all,
I have a requirement to carry out production order confirmation through CATS. Pl. suggest possible solutions.
Rgds...Pk

hi Rajesha,
Normally prod. order confirmation is done using Co11N or CO15. Now here the clients req is he wants to post the confirmation thru CATS by entering the prod. order so that there is no need to carry out further confirmation using CO11N.The main idea is The order status changes to CNF or PCNF once he posts thru CATS. BUt my idea is CATS does not support production order confirmation i.e it is not linked to PP. Is there any other way by means of a work around or triggering a background program?
Hope i'm clear this time.

Final confirmation in cats without working hours

is it possible to give a final confirmation in CAT2 without having to enter an amount in workhours ??
when I leave workhours blanc and give final confirmation no confirmation is created ? now the employees have to cheet a bit and fill in like 0,1 hour.

yep sometimes the work is done by outsourcing, the engineer responsible has already filled in his workinghours weeks ago . when the company comes with the declaration of work finished he can finish the work in the system. now the workmethod is to fill in 0,1 hour and set the status to finished.
the engineer only works in the CAT2 screen and sees the work assigned to him. ofcourse we can teach him another trick to go to the serviceorder and complete it but if it's possible for him to give the final confirmation already in the cat2 screen without having to enter a certain amount of hours which he didn't work then it would be better.

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.

Confirmation of activity type in Process order -Impact in FI.

Dear All,
On doing a confirmation of a activity type for a process/ Production order - values get posted to secondary cost element which has been assigned to a acitivity type. This means only a impact in controlling but not in FI
How woould the booking happens in FI ?is it not required to book in FI, if yes, why.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi Daya
1. You can calculate activity price for plan in KSPI and for actual KSII for respective CCtr and activity type...but some times people manually update price at KP26 directly which in my opinion is not right way because price is either more or less than the real calculation in KSPI and KSII...
2. However in your case price is directly updated in KP26 against activity type..when confirmation is done in order this rate * activity qty is your value posted in order level and at the same time respective CCtr is also credited by this amount which you can see in CCtr report
   Example: CCtr XXXX01
                   Activity type 999999
                   Sec cost Element for activity type 999999 (43 cat)
    Suppose you have booked FI entries for some expenses like Salary in F-02/FB50...against CCtr XXXX01   So your CCtr XXXX01 is debited by Salary amount and this amount will be absorbed in product through activity for which you need activity price and confirmation.
    FI entry is booked your expense in GL a/c Salary and same time debited your CCtr through CE salary....Now when you charging this expense in product through prod order you are doing it through confirmation of activity qty which in turn calculating value by taking price from KP26 and qty from confirmation.
