CATS transfer - Indirect Recharge

I'm trying to make a single CATS entry that includes the fields below, in order to records cost against the cost center of the work center, and the maintenance work order (at different rates - purchased services rate, activity type rate).
The fields (with their technical field name) that are used are as follows:
Send.order - SEBELN
Item - SEBELP
Activity Number - LSTNR
Rec. CCtr - RKOSTL
Send. CCtr - SKOSTL
ActTyp - LSTAR
Rec. Order - RAUFNR
Activity - VORNR
Can anyone try a CATS transaction using all of these fields, and let me know if it is possible after the transfer process (CATM & CAT9) and acceptance of service entry sheet (ML81N), the costs show up on both the receiving cost center (at the rate specified in the activity number) and the receiving work order (at the rate specified in the activity type)?

SAP does not allow the two receivers (Cost Center and PM Order) to be costed in an effort to prevent double-costing. The system deliberately removes the Activity Type field from the entry in the CATSPM table in order to achieve this (records can be transferred to PM Module and confirmation created, but it does not have a real cost because activity type is missing).
We had to make an enhancement which looks up the Activity Type from the record in CATSDB to be used in the CAT9 transfer to PM Module.

    Hallo.

    I don't think that it's a good idea to turn of the warning.
    Don't you think it's important that a user knows that his data was not saved?

  • Is there a Bapi using which i can do CATS Transfer (similar to tcode CATA)?

    is there a Bapi using which i can do CATS Transfer (similar to tcode CATA)?
    wanna do transfer to Hr.

    No there isn't but there is nothing to stop you creating one.
    The program essentially passes parameters through to FM CATS_TRANSFER_HR/CATS_TRANSFER_CO/CATS_TRANSFER_PM
    /CATS_TRANSFER_PS. Create a copy of this FM and set it to remote-enabled Module and start immediately.
    Hopefuuly this will help,

  • DBM - Time Management - CATS Transfer to CO

    Hello DBM Gurus,
    we are trying to set up Time Management  in our DBM implementation (6.04).
    the DBM transactions work and create timestamps in CATS as expected but, we seem to have a problem with the integration between CATS an CO. The entries in cats do not create CO transactions in the internal order of DBM order (no entries created in table CATSCO).
    We have followed all the instructions we could find. this is still not enough.
    Are there any specific steps rellevant to this problem (transfer from CATS to CO) that we might have missed?
    Do you know any Cookbook or helpful help on this issue?
    thanks in advance,
    Daniel Gamss

    You can refer this link for details process of interface data from HR and CO,PS,MM ...
    [http://www.****************/showthread.php?t=11938]
    Normally after book in timesheet from CAT2 ->Data will be save in CATSDB table,
    after approves data will exist in CATSCO , CATSPS, CATSMM and then we use CAT5 to interface data from HR to PS, CAT7 to interface frm HR to CO ...
    For you case no data exist in CATSCO ->check data already approves or not

  • CATS - Transfer program

    In CATS( Cross application time sheet) can we have same sender and receiver cost center ..If so will an transfer program that is RCATSTAL will error out this or will it get posted.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    In fact, on CAT6 there will be no problems, because the following fields:
    -> CATSD-SKOSTL - Sender CC
    -> CATSD-RKOSTL - Receiver CC
    Will only be transferred to CO, which means by using the T-code CAT7.

  • CATS transfer - multiple senders & receivers

    Hi,
    Can anyone let me know how to perform the following scenario in CATS:
    The business scenario requires a two step process for transferring CATS time data. The first step uses a sending purchase order and purchase order item number, activity number (specifies service master record), and receiving cost center. The second step uses sending cost center with activity type, and receiving plant maintenance work order.
    The reason for needing both steps is that the rates for the two steps are different. In the first step, the costs which go to the receiving cost center are at the rate specified in the activity number (service master record). In the second step, the costs which go to the receiving work order are at the rate specified in the activity type (activity type planning).
    I would like to put all of these fields into one line entry in the time sheet, but when I do this, only the CATM transfer to materials management works. The costs do not transfer to the plant maintenance work order.
    Is there any way to do this using standard SAP functionality?
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • CATS - Transfer to FICO (Controlling)

    Hi,
    We are implementing CATS , with integration to PS and Controlling.
    What are configuarations we have do from HCM side for CATS-FICO(Controlling)
    can any one provide the main config steps to transfer to controlling.
    what are the fields we have to enable to transfer to controlling..
    Please help me ......

    Hi
    If you want to transfer the time entry to CO in a fast manner ,the best option is to use CAT7
    The following is required in CAT7 screen:
    1) Personnel Number
    2) Date(period) of the time entry.
    In CATA you can select the person's data on many criterios and there also the Personnel number and Date(Period) of the time entry is required.A
    Also in CATA use have to select the target component (ie CO)

    Hi Guys,
    How do i check if all CATS entries have been transfered to PS for a particular Network & activity or WBS, I am trying to check with CATSDB table.
    The procedure we have for CATS is
    CAT2(enter time)-> Approve using CATS_APPR and transfer using CATA(background JOB).
    Regards,

    Can yo redownlod them directly to the iPod by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         
    Do they show up in the Purchased list?
    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing/loading those songs?

  • How can we integrate CATS & PPM and to retrieve CATS time recording data in PPM ?

    Dear experts,
    Following the previous question of Ruxandra Petrina called "record times with CATS", I am facing an issue with the report DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANSF : it shows nothing despite I activated PPM accounting integration.
    There are the steps I followed, I really don't understand what is missing. In PPM I can transfer and assign my projects to WBS elements automatically or manually.
    1. We allowed time confirmation for projects
    2. We replicated personal number as business partners
    3. We activated worklists and project assignments @ data entry profiles
    4. We set up ALE & RFC connections
    5. We activated the integration scenarios on WBS element : automatic and  manual creation of WBS element assigned to PPM elements. Then we set up data profiles for time recording in cat2.
    6. We enter times, we released it (approval is not required) + saving
    7; We launch the program in SE38 of both ERP or SOLMAN systems : NOTHING appears.
    Our goal is to see the times recorded in CATS in the Confirmed work field of PPM.
    Can you please help me out with this issue ?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Best,
    Cassoké

    Hi Cassoke,
    If tasks assigned to a user is not listed in CAT2 worklist, then first we need to ensure that the tasks are displayed in the worklist. So the user confirm the times for the tasks using this list and after that only we should be running the report 'DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANF' to transfer the actual times entered by user in CAT2 to PPM project task.
    To integrate CATS with PPM, you need to follow these steps.
    Customisations:
    1) Enable 'Time recording' for tasks & 'Account integration' in project type
    2) Customisation related to 'Accounting integration' to be carried out (either single object / Hierarchical controlling, for testing better to use single object - Internal order, since it is easier)
    3) Create a time sheet data entry profile
    (Refer thread Record working times with CATS for details)
    4) Ensure all object links(internal order / WBS)  RFC destinations are updated correctly.
    Master data:
    Business partners creation with BUP003-Employee role & link to HR personnel number
    (This is not required if HR integration is activated, since the system creates the BP's automatically. But manually we need to validate the BP's for linkage with few users)
    Project:
    1) Create project using customised project type (where time recording/accounting integration is enabled)
    2) Structure the project with phase/tasks
    3) Update duration/work etc., to the tasks
    3) Create project roles & staff a resource (BP which is validated for HR personnel number linkage).
    4) Assign task to project role with resource in Project role-->task tab
    6) Release the project definition and also check for phase/tasks release
    7) Change the status of project definition to 'Flag for transfer' (Can be done before project release also)
    8) Check whether the internal order / PS project with WBS is created in ERP system(Based on customisation) and linked to project. Check can be made in accounting tab of the project. (If it is not created, then check for object link RFC destination correctness)
    In case of automatic internal order creation process, you need to enter the org unit. data in project definition-->additional data of the project.
    CATS:
    After completing all the steps, the task assigned to the user will appear in the CAT2 transaction.
    1) User can confirm the task with actual hours.
    2) Run the CATS transfer report mentioned above to update the data in PPM project.
    About SOLMAN integration, you can refer to this presentation also.

  • CATS billing thru PS | internal Order, WBS, Activity Type

    Hi,
    I am a HCM consultant, therefore I have zero knowledge in PS/SD.
    Currently I am working on a task, where I need to create the bill on the CATS data (Time Sheet Data: HCM). I want to know how the CATS data is transferred to WBS, and how the billing of the same is done in PS the WBS element and Activity Type. I ll be transfering the time data to Internal Order (I dont know how to assign these internal orders to WBS elements) and in Activity type I ll be storing the rates of the activities/tasks. Now on the basis of these Internal type, WBS and Activity type, How can I generate a bill in PS? (We are inactivate in SD module).
    A more clear explanation would be better as said, am new to PS..
    regards
    Tahir

    HI Tahir,
    wbs and internal order is the object where we can book time via time sheet so clear here when you are booking time in CAT2 transaction then time sheet ask it's receiver object that would be either wbs nor I/O. once you have done this activity, then need to transfer it to object area like PS CS CO HR PayRoll
    such transaction path is below in CATS
    CAT2
    Time Sheet: Maintain Times
    CAT2_ISCR
    CATS: Maintain Times (Init. Screen)

  • CATS: BAPI to read submitted leaves/ approved leaves/rejected leaves?

    i am using Bapi BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT to create records, is there a way to read data of all submitted leaves/ approved leaves/rejected leaves?
    if i want to achieve above how can i do it, with out custom abap.. any RFCs/BAPIS for the same?
    BAPI_CATIMESHEETRECORD_GETLIST gives back only the released data records.
    But i am looking for a Bapi using which i can read rejected records that go for approval to manager and gets rejected and same with approved ones.
    also is there a way to read Saved records but not released? kinda like looking at drafts?
    also is there a Bapi using which i can do CATS Transfer (similar to tcode CATA)?
    wanna do transfer to Hr.
    Pls advice.
    Edited by: Hruser on Jun 26, 2008 4:40 PM

    As far as i know  there is no standard bapi available as you indicate but you could always modify one ;).
    For Transfer you need to use rptextpt or cat6 there are standard
    reports available

  • My Own Concept Idea - Nokia Gorilla Phone.

    I figure a range rather than just limiting myself such as the Navigator Series, the E series, the N series, but this could be the G range or Gorilla Range. anyway i'd like to see this based on Symbian 60
     OK might as well warn you,i'm drunk now, i was drunk when i wrote it too, so i've not spell checked it or anything and to be honest not going to either until i wake up so here goes, if nokia can't take on iphone because they don't understand what 'bling' is yet. so anyway check out my concept phone idea.
     Nokia's Gorrila Phone
    Specs for: Nokia Survival Range - The Gorrila Phone
    This is all new, This is for the mountain climber, the skier the extreme sports, the swimming
    coach, anyone who works in a dusty or dirty enviorment, this is for the construction worker, the
    security gaurd, the police, this is for everyone who likes to venture out past their back doors
    and into the wild extreme world we live in, scared of going into a pub in the fear of dropping it or
    falling out, the Gorilla Phone can handle it.
    We first have to do a special technique to this phone to get it to be what people will need
    and want.
    *Waterproof
    *Sturdy Gel / rubber type case to protect it from drops
    *GPS
    *WIFI
    *Accelerometer
    *Compass
    *Barometer*
    *Signal Amplifier*/Better internal antenna design
    *All the frequencies we can fit on
    *Small Camera, nothing fancy
    *8/16 Gig of Memory for user content files and games images / videos
    *100+ meg of ram
    *OLED 320*200, enough to see a map on would be ok, a little larger than the Nokia 6110
    *Bluetooth *heart rate device
    *Docking Station (maybe compatable for future releases?)
    Able to squeeze as much power out of it as possible with say a 1amp/h battery
    All radio devices off mode except anything you select on the list to help conserver
    battery life or survival mode.
    AND
    Docking Station which connects at the bottom of the phone and then clips onto the phone, there
    will be 5 (or more) little metal pins that protrude out of the plastic phone which is slightly hidden out
    of the view due to the gel like case..
     [Nokia's]
     [Gorilla]
     [_Phone_]
    {  I I I  }
      [     ] (this is the docking station which just clips in and accesses the ports from the PC)
        DPV
    So basically once you cliped it on the 5 little pins (as soldered blobs protude gold coated
    to prevent wearing away
    (Sea water might be an issue, might stick a warning in saying not suitable for sea water due to errorison
    which will be down to you other than that the phone should work fine.... maybe a cost underwarrents to
    just replace those pins meaning a component could be designed to simply pull out with realitive ease making
    it cost efficient to both the user and nokia...)
    Other than being able to make actual phone calls maybe if that went under a thin peace of plastic that can be
    easily heard so that the case does not get in front of sound quality. and likewise near the bottom or some sort
    of attachment for a waterproof speaker. The electronics with the exception of the connectivity modual to make it
    easy to exchange the rusted component pop it out and replace)
    Battery / Sim Card.
    Pull off the battery case, some kind of switch to lock the battery cover into place to prevent it coming out
    even if you try yourself, the inner side  of the phone should have a waterproof gasket to prevent any kind
    of water coming through under the battery.
    Outside of the phone we appear to have 0 inputs but infact we actually have it with this simple docking
    station, the docking station is connected to the PC via usb so this way your phone simply clips on
    no fuss no looking around for a spare usb port, or plugging in the cable, the docking station makes it much
    more easier.
    ---- +
    ---- Data
    ---- Data
    ---- Whatever.
    The data can then be grabbed off the phone on the computer, the docking station, while docked it will charge
    the phone, it will supply USB 2.0 and transfer files between phone and computer, optional for later advances
    could be given on the docking station also USB/WIFI file transfer if not using the docking station
    Gorrila Phone Charge In(0) Such as, External Chager
    USB Out (which connects to PC)
    TV out (TV OUT)
    Headphone out (unplug the computer's USB)
    - etc
    Virtual Drive or Real Drive via Micro SD.
    Virtual would be for example this gorilla phone were the 8 gig internal is the memory card on E:\
    once connected to the docking station, you then have the unquie ability to put in an 8 gig memory
    SD card into the dockingstation and backup or use (from windows explorer) and be able to
    copy either from internal memory or external memory of a memory card you've inserterd, in terms
    this is a way of cloning your memory card as a backup, this could all be done with the docking station
    and a simple button of "Backup Memory Content" simply have a little Green LED and Red Led come up when
    you press copy, Green for writing/Reading, Red for Error, or maybe Orange for finished succesfully...
    you could then back up your phone to another memory card anywhere anytime... how useful's that! or even
    have the ability to use that dockingstation's memory with the mobile device itself and as long as it's connected
    you can even install programs on it.... 2 Drives, the posibilites are endless.
    So all the outputs we're all so a custom all now live on the docking station, so now what, the protection
    of the phone comes first, all the circuits have to be covered in a gel/rubber/glue expoy type substance
    and injected protecting the delecate components, it has to be essential to protect ribbin cables
    and other little pins and cables that have to stay firmly in place, also doing this will increase
    the circuity's protection against g-force and shock.. once all the gaps have been filled and all made
    sure to be very very watertight against dust and all else that is thrown at it...
    Now then the Gorrila Phone's key aspects
    *Survival of any keen trecker or explorer will need and want.
    *Tough for the toughest jobs, Construction Worker, Police, Law Enforcement, Road Workers.
    *can be dropped from X amount of feet (based on calculations done)
    *Survies water and dirt
    *Can be submerged underwater up to 30 Feet for 30 minutes or so? etc, give it an IP rating of IP-6
    Now then why does an explorer or hiker need this?..
    *Electronic compass will always point you north, combine this with GPS and you'll have
    yourself a way of locating your position and which direction you're pointing.
    *Barometer, small symbian application to interpret the pressure in milli bars, you could
    then have your phone warn you if the pressure's increase (high pressure, good conditions) or
    if the pressure starts to drop rapidly which could indicate bad weather (storms etc)
    *Altimeter could be used, however the GPS is far more precise, maybe something in the future could be done, this would
    be uptodate information, other phones could even send into a server, how much processing power and number crunching would
    take place if every mobile phone could send a FREE SMS to a server every few hours with your GPS location
    and altitude, world wide, i'm sure we'd be able to improve weather predicting with so much data coming in
    from the people who say yes to submitting data to a weather server, providing the altmeter is calibrated.
    GPS data, this phone will go all out to get a signal, then you have a series of options like sms my current
    location to another phone or a request for help including how high up (altimeter/gps) his/hers cords from
    the GPS
    with the OPTIONAL bluetooth heartrate monitor.
    *the phone could connect to a bluetooth heartrate monitor and then it displays the BPS of the indvididual
    and a small sensor to measure temprature from the person as well.
    *Maybe a Resuce Mode
    *Safety mode / tacker
    If the person who's in danger is able to get a signal even from 2g or the phone
    will automatically try if it's in rescue mode, in rescue mode it could get your body
    temprature, BPS, get your GPS location and direction heading from compass, even the barometer
    so it could report things like weather info to help, for example is it safe to use a helicopter?
    Why yes, the last 8 sms text messages the barometer has been increasing, but could easily be looked
    up anyway.
    If the person collapses, the SMS messages until someone arrives will be the only info, since we
    are able to monitor heart rate and location, the emergency services will arrive.
    Now if the heart beat drops below X BPS, it could automatically SMS the wife, brother, girlfriend
    or even multiple people, reporting back the person could be in a lot of danger, there would be nothing
    like this on the planet.
    If not in danger, there will be software to monitor vital conditions, tempraterue of you, it can
    also see where you've been by tracking your data and storing it automatically on memory, all data
    stored could be used as a 'black box' once recovered, in other uses..
    In other uses, it could detect that your heart beat has just shot up from 80 up to 120 and higher
    it was an instant change, this could then SMS the parent, or the phone could make a high pitched alarm
    sound either as to prevent an attacker and drawing attention to you or the high pitched alarm could be
    an alert to others to say something is wrong with you and seek help, it could even detect low heart beats
    and also do a similar warning of sms or both.
    the Gorrila Nokia Phone can survive up to say -30c because it's well insulated and well protected
    from the outside elements if there's a way of making a watertight seal with a slide, use that
    if not the keypad can be put below as traditional phones go for example the new nokia 2960 style.
    internally protected by epxoy too, So for a good rough phone that withstands abuse and yet be
    absolutely packed tight of features nobody could say no.....
    With the broadsprectrum of frequencies the phone has to offer, 2G, 3G 3.5G etc etc you stand more
    chance of getting a signal with the better antenna or included signal amplifier/booster to pickup
    that signal that might just save your life and then your phone becomes your only chance of hope....
    Without the gorrila docking station, you wont be able to charge the phone without one although
    you could use bluetooth/wifi in the short term for data transfer...
    *Accelerometer / Barometer/ GPS...
    Each one could be used for this but if all 3 were combined an accurate result would be optained
    and better to accurately determine to warn or not, for example if the heart beat drops or increases
    significantly an automatic SMS text message can be delivered to friends and family instantly before
    the person even realizes themselves...
    The person might be climbing the side of a hill and all of a sudden he trips and ends up sliding down
    the hill, the Gorilla Phone might be a few feet away now even outside the range of the bluetooth heart
    /temp monitor, ok, the phone is montioring the altitude via either altimeter or GPS or both, the acceleromter
    detected the sudden movement and jerk and strong G-Force at the very millisecond he falls.
    the alitmeter suddenly declines in only a couple of seconds, and now the heart rate monitor is out of range
    based on that data.....
    The person has just fell 3ft from X,Y GPS cords, and the phone landed X,Y GPS cords, it then gets as much
    data as possible such as altitude, temprature from phone (or heart rate monitor) and if the phone is not picked
    up within 10 seconds, the Nokia Gorilla Phone kicks into action sending out an SMS with your location on it can send up
    to 10 people or so of importance along with contact info directly to you when it happens.
    by now, the SMS message will provide emergency services precisely to the location of
    where the person has fallen or rough position, as the person may lay 3 or more meter away from where
    the phone had landed, this could very easily save a persons life, imagine if this happening at night
    in a wooded area, if the phone is simply dropped most people would pick it up within 10 seconds, even then
    a drop from roughly were you're holding the phone to where your feet are would indicate a dropped phone......
    The heart rate monitor could sit on you as every day normal life and if you have a heart attack, your
    phone will know (providing you're linked via bluetooth 10/100m range?) there's a serious medical problem
    and again could easily get the message out to save your life, even possibly having an option where the phone
    smses AND turns on the loud speaker so you can talk to emergency services, maybe a simple voice to speech or
    if you can't speech and can't move, there's not going to be that much of conversation but could be added.
    SMS Return: Location: GPS Cords X,Y; Altitude: 844m; HeartRate: 50; Pressure: ?milibars
    time spent getting to you to save your life,
    rather than time spent trying to find out where you are.
    Another option would be to text the phone and then get a text message back automatically
    providing access was granted on the phone.
    The Ultimate Survival Tool... Nokia's Gorrial Range of phones.
    They can save your life, they're tough take them anywhere you want, show it smashed down
    hard onto the table with an iphone (lookalike) that just smashes into pieces with the phone
    saying pick me up (since it will detect the smash as a drop of phone onto say concrete)
    if it detects a fall, if it does not get pickedup within 10 seconds, people are alterted
    to this fall or collapse,
    Difference in this case between fall and collapse is simple, what's your heart rate at if
    there's a problem there, it does not presume it was dropped and that you're in serious medical trouble
    take it swimming with you in the swimming pool, get your GPS cords and display them on a map
    geotag photos, get info about the weather, using the barometer high and low bands if a low pressure
    wave comes in and the barometer is dropping 998, 983 over a period of time will indicate what's likely
    to happen, if it increases better weather, if it decreases the weather coming in is bad, the phone
    will then direct you to start looking for shelter or find a nice lookout sunshine on the way...
    So all is well? the bluetooth monitor could even be attached to you sleeping so if your body
    temp and heart rate drop badly, it looks like you're freezing to death, the phone will then alarm
    a danger sound to try and wake the person sleeping up as well as contacting friends and family
    who will ring you, or give the message out with the GPS info out to the emergency services.
    The nokia gorilla's not just another phone, it's your buddy who looks out for you and will follow you
    into any conditions you go into, you work on the construction site, you wear a hard hat for protection
    when you see a nice new iphone (lookalike) all pretty has to wear a yellow hat, what a disgrace... while
    the Gorllia slilently laughs...
    The toughman phone with the ultimate survival tools, the Nokia Gorilla Phone, kicked, sat on, used
    to prop up your monitor, very tough and very strong handles whatever is thrown at it... but with GPS
    Barometer, WIFI, Compass you'll have everything you'll ever need handle what mother nature can throw
    at you..
    Maybe a couple of LED's to make the casing light up at night incase you drop it, which a sensor can detect
    if it's dark or not after it's been dropped (fed by data by the accelerometer, drop found, any light? no switch on lights)
    Oh yes and relax by playing with the internet browser over wifi, enjoy the better reception you get from better
    antenna or boosed up (amplified) radio signal.. enjoy the fact you can depend on this phone, it's your buddy
    not just a phone.
    So anyway guys what you think?

     The Nokia 3720 classic is a IP54 level water,
    Not even close to good enough, LCD screen will crack, water will go in through the jack/charger ports..
    The phone i describe has no external ports just 4-5 little pins which can't let water in or out of the device, the docking station will connect via these 4 - 5 pins for data transfer and recharging...., IPX8 standard, all the electronics are epxoyed with a glue to stop real bad shocks from drops and bangs, along with a silicon case and all the other preventative meausres means this little phone is going to outlive you.
    in combination with heart rate external bluetooth connection, really what more could you want... only the Sonim comes close in terms of perfection but if it managed to pack all of above, then it would be simply wow... I don't think there's enough people who work for nokia who actually go camping, backpacking, hiking, i'm pretty sure that if i told them one day
    on a holiday you might drop your phone into the swimming pool, ok fine it's a mistake but damn, there goes your $$$$ N7 or N900 or even a HTC or Iphone.... not this, you'd yell to the first person you see in the pool, hey mate can i have my phone back, don't worry about the water damage, i'll get it back on insurance after a small lie stopping the person from running off with it (in fear of the now useless mobile phoned killed by water, making an attempt to steal be useless) 
    The person gets their phone back and carries on about his day, it drops out of your pocket, how many times you ran over it because you happened to leave it behind the back tire. oh no i ran over my phone, the tough casing and the epoxy keeping it nice and safe, except for superficial damage cosmetic, the screen and phone should be working still able to make that call or send out GPS info....
    Sorry nothing comes close by any company (except Sonim) in terms of what they can do... maybe even a portable charger turn it to recharge like on LED dynamos. nah maybe not.
