CATS in ESS

Hi Gurus,
ive configured a data entry profile to be used in ess. in ess, there's a weekly and daily tab for record time entry.  we only want to display daily. how can we do that?
regards,
paul

Hi Paul
Just use iview Personalization; Content Admin > Portal Content > select your custom Record Working Time iview > Right Click > Preview > Ctrl + Right Click on Daily view > select TabStripCatRecordEntry > Tabs > carry Daily View to the top.
Kind regards

  • CATS via ESS - how to add WBS description field

    Hi folks,
    I've configured a new time profile which we will be using to integrate with Project System.  We can enter the WBS number via the portal but I would also like to show a field which will automatically default to the description associated with the wbs number.
    There seem to be a few user exits available but I'm not sure which one to use.

  • Is the ABAP Webdynpro CATS available in both ESS and MSS?

    Hi experts,
    We are in the process of implementing the WDA CATS application for ESS (ECC 6 EHP5) but our scenario is actually for managers to enter in time in CATS on behalf of their employees. I can't find any information on this scenario using the WDA CATS. I have linked the application to the related activities iView in MSS but it seems to be launching the CATS application for the manager instead of the employee.
    The standard MSS role (1.5) seems to launch the Java CATS when doing it on behalf of an employee. I just want to find out if it's possible to use the WDA CATS application for on behalf scenarios as it used to be with the Java CATS?
    Thanks!!
    Jo

    Hey Jo
    how are you? here goes some background info on cats and ess/mss:
    In ehp5 - ess there are 5 application configurations delivered by sap in wd-abap one of which is the approval view for managers its called  hrmss_ac_cats_approval. the remaining 4 configs are for employees to enter cats data.
    Now the point of issue is the 'ess in mss' or 'on behalf of' functionality....
    MSS at ehp5 cats is still on wd-java I guess,... I am not 100% sure so what needs to be done holistically is:
    1. Select one of the employee cats appication configurations.
    2. include it into the mss-related activity space.
    3. now this has a known issue: passing of the employee number from within wd-java to wd-abap application sap has a couple of notes for them --> 1577099 & 1578965 chk them out....
    4. what those notes say is you can put in any wd-abap service into related activity space which is still wd-java,... and get the manager to book time on behalf of employees...
    I have personally not done the above yet,... but I did some r&d last year on the above......
    ahh before I forget you may want to chk out the note 1513325
    finally to be able to call the employee cats service in related activities could mean you have to:
    1. create an iview of type wd-abap caling the ess-cats wda service.
    2. include it within the related activities wdj page...
    3. have the aforementioned notes applied..
    4. ready to go...
    tell me if this worked for you or not. if it does you owe me a coffee.
    cheers
    shree.

  • CAT timesheet VS ESS timesheet

    Dear Friends
    Urgently Looking forward for your help/suggestions,as we are upgrading from 4.6 to ECC^. and for timesheet(time confirmation) , we need to go for either of these options.

    2) CATS in ESS
    This is very urgent. Request you kindly provide overview and advantages and disadvantges of above methods for timesheet and your recommendation.

  • Using Workflow in CATS instead of Standard Task ??

    Hi All,
    We are using CATS on ESS to allow users to enter their overtime and time related payments.  The Data Entry Profile is configured with 'Approval Required', 'Workflow approval' and 'Automatic recipient' selected.  We have entered a standard task which all seems to work ok.  Issue we have is that the business requires additional functionality where if a manager does not process the approval request within a no of days that the request is escalated to the next manager.  They also don’t like the message content in the rejection message that is sent to the employee when the manager rejects the request.  We could do this if it was a full Workflow being used but since the configuration only allows you to enter a task and not a workflow we are trying to find a workaround.  Looking at a couple of possibilities around triggering a workflow separately.  Has anyone come across this requirement and can suggest any workarounds.
    Thanks,
    Sinead.

    Check if your requirement can be addressed using configuration, transaction code BBP_PO_ACTION_DEF.
    Action Profile = BBP_PD_BID
    Processing Types = Smart Forms Mail
    And change the settings below accordingly.
    Cheers.

  • Hide Calendar in ESS Web Dynpro Time Entry Application

    Hello All,
    We are currently on ESS SP 11. NW 2004 SP19 (EP 6.0 SP 19)
    In "Record Working Time" application, we see the Calendar expanded by default. We want to Hide the Calendar by default.
    I have went the link /thread/82037 [original link is broken] but the actual procedure for modifying the Web dynpro CCs is not mentioned there.
    Please suggest me the changes to be done exactly to achieve this functionality.
    Thanks for the time taken. Points will be awarded for all the helpful answers.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    Hi Raj,
    I hope JDI is ready in your landscape.
    If it is ready then import the DC ess~cat from ESS related track.
    In the interface component controller of the DC there is will be some code like
    return new CAPState(cap, cap[0].getId());
    Here just change this as
    return new CAPState(cap, " ");
    With this change, Calendar will be hidden by default.

  • ESS authorisations required for Leave Requests

    Hi SAP gurus,
    I am trying to iron out a few authorisation issues we are having with ESS.
    One issue is around Time Administrators with ECC PA61 access having the authorisations to amend their own absence records.  The ESS authrisations that we have applied to them give authorisation of * to IT2001 and IT2002, which were told is required in order to user Leave Request and CATS within ESS.  However, both these functions post data to ECC using a BATCH process, so the actual ECC entries don't go under the user's ID.  Can anyone confirm whether because of this we can include an exlusion in the auths for employee's to amend their own records in IT2001 and IT2002, or is this still required in order to enter the original requests?
    Thanks,
    Simon

    can you p_pernr authorisation to exclude them from authorisation
    or usually we have a deactivate authorisation in rule group customisation for the leave request if you dont
    want to give authorisation to 2001 etc

  • Cats release working time service

    Dear Experts
    We are using CATS in ESS. We are creating the cats time entry and releasing it from release working time service. The scenario is working fine in dev portal. But in Quality portal the once all the timesheets have been released if we click on the release working time link, it shows service is locked.
    We have checked sm12, object locking in portal, session management but everything is fine. We also checked the services in ECC, it also seems fine.
    Please help!
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Moni

    can you check this test for me first open record working time, record time and log off. Does it release the lock from SM12? Next test, check in CAT2. Dos it release the locks? Main issue is session should be released ? can you confirm above
    Follow the instructions in SAP note #1471069, the additional step to activate the service /sap/public/bc/icf/logoff in SICF.
    SAP NOTE # 1717945 - Portal Logoff Does Not Logoff the Backend When  Using HTTP Security Session Management
    SAP NOTE # 1903478 - Session remains open after the logoff on enterprise portal from 7.1 to 7.3
    1353668 and check here 1693880 - Lock issues in CATS if it doesn't solve the issue, we need to check with a team from enqueue team ie BC CST etc

    Hi,
    Some more issues .
    1: I am not able to view any Attendance type/Absence type in Timesheet page , though i have selected it as an input field.
    2: I needed an additional field with free text, so selected additional field as an input but not getting this also in ESS.
    3: I got these fields  Project and Project subobject, but these are disabled ones, with no LOV or free text option. I want to know how do i get values here , is there any PA or OM infotypes ,where i can assign Project details and then fetch it here ?
    4: Task Type , Level and Component.
    Type
    Level
    Component
    1
    A
    A1
    A2
    2
    B
    B1
    B2
    This appears correctly, but my issue is when I select type 1 , in Level I can view A and B, also all the component are appearing, if you select level A.
    I want to restrict this. When I select type 1, I should be able to view only Level A. Is this possible in Stanndard ? Same for Level and component asignment.

  • Tables of CATS

    Good Afternoon.
    I have the following doubts:
    1) In what table is saved the data that are entered by Working Time--> CATS in ESS.
    2) In what infotype is saved this information(Infotype 2005 or 2011)
    CATSDB is the db  table
    Pl look up SAP help for ESS.

    Hello Sravanthi
    With respect to the CATS - HR integration you may have a look at the BAPI <b>BAPI_TIMESHEET_HR_DATA_TRNSFER </b>and its documentation:
    FU BAPI_TIMESHEET_HR_DATA_TRNSFER
    Short Text
         Transfer of CATS II Data to HR
    Functionality
         This method transfers time data from the Time Sheet to the HR system.
         The time data is stored in the HR system in the following infotypes:
         o   Absences (2001) infotype
         o   Attendances (2002) infotype
         o   EE Remuneration Information (2010) infotype
         Information about a different payment and cost assignment is also
         transferred. This method does not support activity allocation.
    Notes
         The data records are stored in the following tables:
         o   Attendances/absences: interface table PTEX2000 and PTEXDIR.
             The transfer report then reads the data from file PTEX2000 and
             creates it as attendances in infotype 2002 or as absences in
             infotype 2001.
         o   EE remuneration info: interface table PTEX2010 and PTEXDIR.
             The transfer report then reads data from file PTEX2010 and creates
             it as employee remuneration information in infotype 2010.
    Further information
         Method Check LINK allows you to check the data before it is transferred.
         This method is used to call the following BAPIs in the HR system before
         the data is transferred to the HR system:
         o   BAPI_PTMGREXTREMSPEC_INSWCOST
         o   BAPI_PTMGREXTATTABS_INSWCOST

  • WDP APP to USE CATS CLASSIC

    Hi. I'm working in the developement of a webdynpro application that have to implements the same functionality of cats with ess. It was asked to me that this application must look like the ess business package for EP. I'm waiting for the publishing of 2 tutorials, but i cant stay quiet.
    I have proved the following BAPIS n i can use them in webdynpro:
    BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT
    BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_DELETE
    BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_CHANGE
    BAPI_CATIMESHEETRECORD_GETLIST
    BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT
    BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK
    CATS_READ_TIMESHEET_DATA
    I have found an extra BAPIS but i cant use them in webdynpro, those are:
    CATS_APPROVAL
    CATS_APPROVAL0
    CATS_WF_APPROVAL; n some others
    I wanna know if there is some BAPI that allows start the workflow asociated with cats and some BAPI that allows approve workitems asociated to this workflow.
    Another question is if there is some BAPI that allows the same functionality as saplogon, i mean if there is a way to implement a logon form a webdynpro application.
    I hope somebody can helps me.
    Thx n Best Rgds.
    Gregory.

    Hi
      I dont know if there is some BAPI that allows start the workflow asociated with cats.
    But regarding some BAPI that allows approve workitems asociated to this workflow, you can check out the function group "SWRC" . This contains the list of workitem related function modules.
    Also check the function group "SWRR". These are related to standard workflow.
    There is a function module called "SAP_WAPI_EXECUTE_WORKITEM" in function group "SWRC" which will execute the workitem given the Workitem id as input. But i dont exactly know your requirement. See if that helps.
    regards

  • TM Schema - Is it possible to change IT2001/2 from a Rule?

    Hello gurus,
    here the TM scenario is:
    - CATS via ESS for Time Recording;
    - The employee enters the <b>actual</b> Clock-In / Clock-Out manually & releases;
    - The Manager approves and Time data arrives to HR (IT2001/2002).
    I am using a copy of the Schema TM04 and, after I rounded my TIP pairs, I would need to Update the IT2001/2002 with the new rounded times.
    Is it possible to write into the IT2001/2002?
    If not, do you have any ideas about how to have in IT2001/2002 the rounded values only?
    Every help would be very appreciated,
    Sofia

    Hi,
    you always have a static class Application.
    Application.application will be the root component. After that you can change it state.
    Application.application.currentState = "state2";
    But it's not the best way to change states. It's better to dispatch events from components and change states in listeners.

  • Record Working time as a standalone system

    Dear all,
    we have a requirement of recording working times of employees through Portal (ESS) and approve working time. i checked the CATS (Configure ESS for Time Entry) and our requirement is similar to it  but in CATS i read " after its approved it is transferred/updated  to HR systems".  we dont want to update any existing systems (HR/MM/PS) the data should exist as a standalone and report will be generated on periodic basis without effecting any other systems. is there any possibility in CATS or ESS to achieve this.
    Thanks,
    mahesh.

    CATS is standalone system!
    If you dont want to update HR system just dont schedule CAT6 or Rptextpt and ensure CATS profile in CAC1 doenst have immediate transfer to HR checked!
    Thats it! Data will remain in CATS alone only ie CATSDB, if you need to transfer we use transfer reports or CAC1 customisation!
