CATS-Time Entry Plant/Status/Control Key

Hi All,
We have a situation when we enter time in Cross application time sheets under an Activity type & Network We get the following error message:
May i know why and where could be this error and how I can resolve it.
Check: Plant/Status/Control Key This is the error I get
Steps Done: Went to CAT2>> For a person entered Activity Type and Network & Time>> Hit Enter and I get above error.
Thanks in advance for help

CN27 is for collective confirmation. In your earlier post you had mentioned that you are getting the error while using CATS. Check the status of the activity for which the confirmation is being entered. Run transaction CN22, enter the network number and click on the activity icon (green rectangle). Now check the system status of this activity. If it is closed it wont allow you to post any confirmations. Get in touch with your PS consultant if you face any issue in doing whats mentioned above.
Next time when you post a query be sure that you are aware about the details of the issue. This will help in addressing the issue properly.

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.

CATS Time Entry - Charging time to a different cost center

We are looking at using CATS for time entry for our salaried non-exempt employees. Some of these employees charge their overtime to a different cost center. For example, normally their overtime is charged to their own cost center but periodically they help another group and need to charge the overtime to the other group's cost center. In the CATS profile where you select the fields you want to be available for input, display, etc., I see cost center as an option. However, when I select it as a field for input, it does not appear on the timesheet. I see there are other cost center fields (receiver cost center, sender cost center) but I thought these had more to do with work orders (not sure of that, though) and work orders are not used for this group of people. Currently, the time is being charged to an alternate cost center when the time administrator enters the overtime via PA30 and then selects the 'Cost assignment' button to record the appropriate cost center. I would appreciate any information/guidance you can provide. Thank you.

Hi Kathleen,
We are trying to do the same thing so I understand exactly what you are asking. We made the sender cost center field an input field via the IMG - Cross-Applications Components> Time Sheet> Time Recording> Choose fields> - select data entry section and look for sender cost centre - field name CATSD-SKOSTL - ensure "input" is selected.
Eventhough we have been able to enter an alternative cost center with an attendance (i.e., different from the employee's cost center saved on IT0001), it is not being transferrred to HR (does not appear on attendance infotype) therefore payroll does not pick-up the cost center with the attendance hours and it is not posted to FI. Payroll continues to use the employee's home cost center.
Have you been able to get any further with this issue?
You can contact me directly if you like - 1-613-599-8600 - ext 243.

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.

Plants exist in which you have not specified a control key

i was doing mm01 for quality management , i entered QM control key and click "Insp.setup" , and err msg show "plants exist in which you have not specified a control key" , how can i fix it ?

This message about QM control key has nothing to do with inspection setup.
this message is just issued because SAP validates the data when you are leaving the screen, which is the case if you click the inspection setup button.
the small box for QM proc active is stored at general level MARA, even it is located in the QM view.
whenever one plant decides to use QM in procurement, then ALL plants have to use it. But each plant can decide based on the QM control key how they want to use it. It is even possible to assign a control key that is setup to control nothing. this is actually the backdoor for the other plants which do not want to use QM in procurement.
And this warning message is issued to let you know that this material exists in other plants where it does not yet have an entry in the control key field. It is a warning message since you cannot maintain this field of the other plant from your current screens and transaction.
Check it technically, use SE16 and list all entries in table MARC for your material. Then check in which plant you have no data for the QM control key.

UWL CATS time approval error "No data exists that needs to be approved"

Hi all,
We approve CATS working time through SAP portal UWL. The user can see the workitem in her UWL inbox, but got an error u201CNo data exists that needs to be approvedu201D when he tried to execute the workitem. But the user is able to execute the workitem using Business workplace in ECC. We are using the standard UWL application.
This happens only to CATS time entries for certain type of employees (for example, the employees who do not report directly to the approver).
SAP Portal 7.0
SAP MSS 600 SP19
SAP UWLJWF 7.00 sp23
SAP ECC 6.0
Here is what I have found from my trouble-shooting. When I test (preview) the UWL iView, it seems to be working fine. But when I call up the iView from the portal MSS role, I got the error message u201CNo data exists that needs to be approved.u201D
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thank you,
Qi

HELP! Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command.

HELP! Is there a way to change column information in iTunes such as name of artist, genre etc, other than deleting them one at a time? Such as the way you delete an entire group of songs by holding down control keys or selecting the Select All command. Thanks.

If you select all the songs you want to change, Be it one song or an akbum, or an Artist, Or Genre, or playlist. Then Right mouse click and Get Info. You then get a slightly different from normal Get Info box as this is the One for Multiple items.
In there have a look at the tags and see if the one you want to changes is in there. There are a few tabs so if for example you wanted to change the Media Type from Home Movie to Movie go to the Options tab and select Movie and OK and it will change the whole selection.

Control Key Stuck At Times

A couple times a day my computer will act like the control key has been pushed and will open the shortcut that is with the letter I pushed. Sometimes it will cause the page to zoom in and out from scrolling the mouse. I had a L505 and it did this I replaced keyboard they replaced the system board and it still did it. I sold that computer and got a new L655-S5158 it is doing the same thing. This is really annoying because I never know when it is going to do it. Sometimes when I am typing a email or filling out an online forum it will reload the page and I will lose all my work. I thought it might be firefox so I switched back to Internet Explorer still does it. Does anyone know what is causing this.

Hello,
I can reproduce this bug (make Windows think the CTRL key is stuck down) at will, and I can unstick it too, on my Satellite L775.
To make the bug appear, I just hold down the CTRL key while using pinch-zoom.
To unstick the key, I just press both control keys simultaneously. This "unstick" method has always worked, except ONE time it did not and I had to reboot to unstick the CTRL key.
Obviously, the fact that the touch pad itself has a bug that frequently ignores the fact that I have it turned OFF and zooms or scrolls without warning when I get near it exacerbates this CTRL bug, but, anyway, I hope that being able to reproduce the bug reliably will help get it fixed.

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

Conf Control Key

Hi Experts
I have a requirement to implement Conf Control key in only one of the Plant.
What are all the factors to be considered before going for it ? What are all the Impacts of it ?

Hi,
The confirmation control key usage is not at the plant level. It is always used if you would like to take an advantageous use of the standard vendor confirmation functionality. As soon as the related setting in configuration (under IMG ---> Material Management --> Purchasing ---> Confirmations ...) is made properly, you can be able to use it. However, you should bear in mind that this vendor confirmation feature is used when you would like to monitor the status of your shipment after PO is sent. This is normally put in use together with expediting feature where SAP will enable you to generate dunning/reminder letters if the vendor fails to either acknowledge receipt of your PO or make on time delivery. In addition, once this feature is utilized, make sure the related confirmation control key shall be maintained in the PO before posting GR.
Cheers,

Vendor Bank Details - Bank control Key for Spain

Greetings,
Can anyone tell me how to maintain the bank control key for Spain in the vendor master data? I can see that Spain uses the key to check the combination of bank number and bank account number, and it looks like the validation points to table BNKAIN. However, where do I get the two digit bank control key (from the vendor?), and how do I maintain it in the table (this table is buffered)?
Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated, and I will gladly assign points for helpful responses.
Thanks!

Hi Eric,
Thank you for your quick response. My problem is not location of the field itself, but rather on what data to use to populate the field. There is no input help for this field, and the system issues an error message every time I try to populate the field. We ran a trace and discovered that the system appears to be running a check against table BNKAIN. I think perhaps I need to maintain that table, but cannot figure out how to access the table to maintain the entries. Do you know how to maintain this table, or is there a specific bank control key that should be used for Spain?

Confirmation control key issue

Hi EXPERTS
I would like to know under what circumstances can the confirmation control key be included in the line item of a PO after GRN is done.
I am faced with a scenario where the GR of the line item of a PO is done and their is a confirmation control key attached to this line item But I donot find any inbound delivery details in the line item nor does it look that the inbound delivery is deleted
This line item now need to be reversed ( but the system doesnot allow stating that their are no suitable line items available
(I tried 102Mvt Thru' MIGO)
Could you pelase guide me regarding this situation and suggest ways and means for PO line item reversal
Thanks VC

HI,
Purchase Order Item Confirmations Tabstrips:
The confirmation control key controls the process subsequent to the creation of the PO.
E.g. For some important materials with long delivery times, you wish to receive advance information (via the shipping notification or inbound delivery) about the expected GR date so that you can include this information in the availability check.
The confirmation functionality is used to get better visibility & control over the goods receipts. Due to this requirement, when you work with confirmations, the system will not propose any quantity for MIGO unless any confirmations are entered in the PO. Also, MIGO will propose only such quantity for which the confirmation is entered.
In the purchase order, there is a field confirmation control key, following is its function extracted from text book.
1.The confirmation control key governs whether confirmations are expected for specific purchase order items and whether these confirmations are relevant for goods receipt or materials planning.
2. If a material document is to be created when the goods receipt posting for the inbound delivery is carried out, then the goods receipt assignment must be defined in the confirmation control.
How to set this field?
Configuration path:
SPRO -> MM -> Purchasing -> Confirmations -> Set up confirmation control or tcode OMGZ
Explain is there a necessity to fill the confirmation control, order acknowledgement & confirmation requirement. In STO normally we input the data for normal P.O.'s.only. If we input the above said data what happens if not what happens.
Confirmation gives the details of the shipping data, acknowledgement, delivery details etc......Overall view..
If it is used then Inbound delivery has to be created else GR is not possible...
VL31N--Inbound PO wrt PO/STO.(manual)..
If idoc /edi are configure, then everything will be automatic.
Confirmation Control is configured in SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Confirmations -> Setup Confirmation Control. The Confirmation Control should be assigned to the Vendor in Purchasing View (MK01/MK02). This it gets copied into the PO.
How to change the confirmation key in PO?
I have to change the confirmation key (in me23N) in the confirmation tab. It is working fine if there is no partial GR (entry in delivery schedule tab) against that line item. But if there is a GR entry against that line item its giving me a message 'confirmation key should not be changed'.
This is the standard of SAP....once GR is existing for the line then you can't change the confirmation key. To change, reverse the GR and change the key then Post GR again.
or
You can short close the PO line which you already have GR and create new line with remaining qty and enter new confirmation key.
