CATS viz Time Recording in Time events IT 2011

Hi Experts
Need some urgent guidance. We are using punch cards to record timing. I understand that time recording machine will upload the records in Time event IT 2011.
On the other hand we have requirement where the real time should be there in CATS for employees so that PS can use for project planning and posting.
Presently we have time admin those manually key in time recording data in Cats but going forward we use time cards to record time.
How we can go ahead where we can use time machine to record also plus it uploads the time entries in cats.
Will appreciate your response on this.
Regards

Hi,
Time recorded from the external systems can be obtained as a text file and will be uploaded to CATS using a customized program designed by ABAPers.

ESS - working time - record working time - blank site

Hi,

Has somebody an idea why?

Hi Prabhakar,

I only see the iViews from the package:
- benefits and payment (x2)

- career & job

- overview
- personal information (x2)
- purchasing (x2)

Error with ESS-Record working Time

While trying to create record for timesheet thorugh CATS on ESS > Record working time I get the following error : Could any one guide me the same please.
08.07.2013: Counting rule 1/07/030 does not exist
Erroneous records exist. Navigation is not possible

Ayesha

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.

ESS Record Working Time - How to set up approvals?

Hello experts,
I've hit a bit of a roadblock and could use some direction. I have recently implemented the newer ESS_WDA role in our sandbox environment to see what it had all to offer. Using LPD_CUST to customize the ESS launchpad role, instance = menu, I have successfully implemented the Record Working Time WD application and have it running fine. Using CAC1 I created two profiles, ESS (without approvals) and Z_ESS_A (with approvals). Using the ESS profile, a user can enter time into their ESS time sheet, save, and thus time is entered into CATS and their IT2001/2002.
Now, Z_ESS_A is another story. Some time this year, we'd like all our US administrative personnel to enter time using ESS Recording Working Time (HRESS_A_CATS_1) however, they would need to have all their time approved by their reporting manager (or a backup) before it goes into IT2001/2002.
I'm a bit fuzzy on the process, but I would like the approval to be done by their reporting manager in Manager Self-Service using the Approve Time Sheet application (HRMSS_A_CATS_APPROVAL) and not by click on some link in their UWL. I assume this is set up by assigning a task in the workflow section under Approval in the data entry profile, but I have no idea what task to assign. Do we need to create a custom task? Am I on the right path or is there another path I should be pursuing? Ideally, if the manager is unable to approve the associate's time sheet, we would have a backup enter their MSS and approve time sheets that haven't been approved by the direct manager yet.
I did notice the Approve Working Time section in the IMG. Is this where I need to set up the approvals? I noticed a SAP_LINE view, however I read this uses a line manager relationship dictated in OM, however we do not use that relationship (A002/B002). We simply use the A003 (Manages/Belongs to) relationships, thus the task would identify the chief of the org unit and use that relationship to decide who to send the time sheet approval to.
Kind regards,
Garrett Meredith

Hi Garrett,
System identified the Record working time profile from the value against User Parameter CVR in SU01.
If you maintain ESS against CVR it triggers without approval
If you maintain Z_ESS_A against CVR it triggers Approval process
Some time this year, we'd like all our US administrative personnel to enter time using ESS Recording Working Time (HRESS_A_CATS_1) however, they would need to have all their time approved by their reporting manager (or a backup) before it goes into IT2001/2002.
You need to change the CVR parameter value to Z_ESS_A for that period for all US administrative employees for that duration. Again you need to change it to ESS once that duration is over.
but I would like the approval to be done by their reporting manager in Manager Self-Service using the Approve Time Sheet application (HRMSS_A_CATS_APPROVAL) and not by click on some link in their UWL.
Below tick in CAC1 triggers workitems to UWL, if not only sent to Approve Time sheet application in MSS.
I did notice the Approve Working Time section in the IMG. Is this where I need to set up the approvals? I noticed a SAP_LINE view,
SPRO / PM/ ESS WDABP / Working Time/ Record working time/ Approve Working Time
above is the navigation where you configure approval process.
SAP_LINE is also a user parameter for managers in SU01 against CATS_APPR_PROF.
So Employee SU01 - CVR = ESS or Z_ESS_A
Manager SU01 - CATS_APPR_PROF = SAP_LINE or Custom one.
however I read this uses a line manager relationship dictated in OM, however we do not use that relationship (A002/B002). We simply use the A003 (Manages/Belongs to) relationships, thus the task would identify the chief of the org unit and use that relationship to decide who to send the time sheet approval to.
It doesn't work based on A002/B002 relation, it works based on Chief Relation (A012/B012) to Org.Unit.
Let us say X is the chief for A org.unit, all the positions those belong to A org.unit shown under X as reportee employees, so X can be the approver for A1, A2, A3 and so on.
Hope this give you an understanding.

To unhide the columns of " Record Working Time " table

hi experts ,
Can any one suggest me how to unhide some columns of the table "Record Working Time" .
Actually I have tried the following procedure : content admin -> portal content -> iview -> Rclickctrlalt and check the property of the table and displayed all the columns . It shows all the columns perfectly .
Finally , when I checked the table in Employee self service -> Working time -> Record working time , I can not see some columns which are visible in content admin "Record Working Time " iview .
It is a standard webdynpro java application "CatDataRecord" .

hi gorlisrinu ,
Thanks for your reply .
I have all the administration right . When I check the iview in 'Content Admin' I can see all the columns , but when I check the same iview under 'ESS role' i can not see some of the columns of "Record Working Table ". That is my problem . Can you tell me what is the reason behind it ? I always save all the changes after any modification .

Set Weekly View as default in Record Working time

Hi,
Please let me know in ESS (Time Management) how can I set Weekly View as default instead of Daily view under Record Working time in EHP5?
1> If Personalization could only be applied on JAVA Web Dynpro iVews, what can be done in case of WD4A?
2> Can the view changes be done in Content Administration or the changes could only be done in "Component configuration/enhancement" to achieve the requirement? If it could only be done using "Component configuration/enhancement" can you please help me with the same.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
In R3, goto PM - PA - ESS - Service specific settings - Woring time - Record working time - Set up data entry profile - Select the data entry profile which is assigned to the employees in their CVR Parameters(ex.ess sf) - Maintain the PERIOD SETTING as 2 (which is the weekly view).

Difference between Time Management and Time Evaluation

Hello
Is there any Difference between Time Management and Time Evaluation? if yes, then what is it? I guess there's no diff, time evaluation is a report..
please advice
Thanks

Hi Charlene,
Time management can be divided into 3 steps
1.Time Recording
2.Time Evaluation
3. Planning
Time Evaluation :
The recorded time data is grouped and converted to wage types which can be used by payroll for compensation.SAP provides a time evaluation program RPTIME00 for this purpose.
Standard schemas TM00 and TM04 are used for evaluation of time data got from positive and negative time recording approaches.
time evaluation program RPTIME00 also calculates accrual and entitlement for employees.

Swapnil

DBM Time recording Event type sequence

Hi Experts, Is it possible to define the sequence for time recording event types in standard? Currently we are able to perform the end order event before the Start order event. The entry gets stored in table /DBM/TM_TEVENT. Another example is - We can perform the Clock Out event type before Clock IN. These event types should be in sequence. System should not allow to perform Clock Out if Clock IN has not happened for the day. Is there any way out to fulfill the above requirement. Kindly suggest. Regards, T.R.S.Praveen

Try below suggestion, in my opinion there isn't a standard config to define the sequence since there cannot be a fixed sequence since requirement might differ from customer to customer:
When time events are entered at DBM time recording terminals, the system logs a time event for a personnel number in a first step, and in a second step CATS data records are created from the sequence of the logged time events.
You can influence the posting of time events of a DBM time recording terminal in CATS by using the BAdI /DBM/BADITM_TEVENT_PROC.
You can use the BAdI method ACTION_AFT_CHECK_TIME_EVENTS to process the CATS records generated from the time events before they are saved to the database. The method supplies the current personnel number, the current terminal key and the affected time events for information purposes; you can change the proposed CATS records that are to be saved.

Sachin Balmiki

To transfer time events from external time recording system to sap r/3

While Installation of 11g database creation time error ORA-28056: Writing audit records to Windows Event Log failed Error

Creation of the dbcontrol requires a connection via the listener. When configuring the dbcontrol as part of database creation, it appears that the dbcontrol creation step runs before the dynamic registration of the databsase with the listener is complete. Now that the database itself is completed and enough time (really, just a minute or two) has passed to allow the instance to register, use dbca or emca to create the dbcontrol.
Are you able to get a sqlplus connection via the listener (sqlplus scott/tiger@orcl)? That needs to be the first order of business.

Time recording in 12 hour format with CATS??

Hi CATS gurus,
Can some body let me know, whether it is possible to record time using CATS in 12 hour format using the clock times.
I need to record time as 08:00 am to 04:30 pm and the system shoud count it as total of 08:30 hours.
Incase, my query is not clear, please feel free to write me back.
Thanks & Regards, Swapnil Mishra

Hi,
In the CAC1 tCode, in the data entry profile you need to select the With clock times.
As per ur requrirement you have created the work scheudles. you assigend that work scheudle in 0007 for the employee.
While going to CAT2 tcode. there next to total colum one column is there WE there you can give the total hrs. on the basis of
works Schedule system will take that attendacne in the 2002 infotype. Then you can approve and transfer to HR through CAT4.
Then you can go and see in the 2002 infotype there you can see the start time and end time.
If you have any query's on this please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Revathi.
