COPA ANALYSIS-CATA(TIMESHEET) POSTING TO COPA

Dear all Gurus out there,
could you please help by telling me how the timesheet cost flows to KE30? I am 1st Level support in my country and being questioned why the total cost in Cost Center Accounting is higher than the opex in KE30.I understand that billable cost will either flow to Pre sales cost or WIP cost but how about those non billable cost? The total non billable cost in CATA (Timesheet) is greater than the opex cost in KE30.
I have no idea how to answer this and looking source to help.Please.

Hi,
Please check if there are any costs from WBS to be settled to CO-PA. Generally in case of WBS and MTO scenarios you need to settle the cost to CO-PA.
Regards,
Abhisek

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.

ESS CATS Timesheet

Hi,
I want to display the planned hours in the working hours row in CATS timesheet in portal implemented as CATS Regular.
Is there any configuration change needed for that in the CATS profile or I need to use an user-exit. If a user-exit is needed, please let me know which one.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Kumar

Hi Bala,
Thanks for the tip. The exporting parameter ta_timesheetdata has the timesheet data and when I enhanced the FM HRXSS_CAT_WD_RECORD, I was able to get the working hours to display in the planned hours. But the problem is, I got the working hours data from WS in IT0007 which is not giving the correct output.
I want some way in which I can link the PERNR to Personnel subgrouping and Daily Work Schedule. I could find them in T550A but i couldn't figure out a way to link them to PERNR.
And one more thing is I want some FM where if I give the holiday/factory calender ID, then it should return me the dates which are holidays in a given date range. The reason being those days should display 0 as working hours.
So Any ideas???
Thanks,
Kumar

ESS Cats Timesheet Performance Considerations

Hi Experts,
We are using ESS Standard Portal Cats timesheet.
But the client is not happy with way the Timesheet performs
Like for example to fill up time in one of the cell - when the user places the cursor it takes 3-4 secs for the entire row to get selected ( orange in color ) . Once selected the user can fill that cell.
Our users timesheet runs from 20-30 lines so u can imagine how painful its for a user to complete booking his time.
The row selections is one of the major pain points in our timesheet.
Can we do any thing about the slow performance of our timesheet?. I mean something from the design perpective of Java Webdynpro.
We are also open to develop something in custom. But we would still end up developing a java wd application. Would it be worth the effort considering the standard timesheet is also in java wd/
All your thoughts/experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks alot

Throw a custom error message while doing CATS timesheet approval

Hi,
We are going to implement CATS Timesheet approval using ESS / MSS portal.
Requirement is NOT to allow an approver to approve / reject a timesheet workitem in MSS duing payroll block period ( e.g last week of a month). we need to throw an error message saying 'No approval of timesheet is allowed during payroll block period'.
Will SAP enhancement CATS0006 (EXIT_SAPLCATS_006) be useful for this?
Any other customer exit / Badi will help.
Regards,
Bijay

Hi,
yes you can use the mentioned CATS enhancement to throw the error message.

Mass approval of CATS Timesheets

Currently CATS timesheets show up on the UWL and users click on the timesheets individually that opens up the screen RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES in transaction CATSW and the users either Approves or Reject it. Now they want some way of mass approval of timesheets to show multiple records in one screen. What are my options to do that? I am kind of novice in UWL and workflow so please elaborate on things if necessary

Hello,
Starting from ERP2005, new and improved standard tasks have been provided for Cross Application Timesheet.
Before this release, workitems were created for each employee. Approver had to click on each workitem in order to approve records , which was time consuming. With ERP2005, the approver gets at the maximum only one workitem which contains CATS records for all the employees sorted according to personnel numbers. So the approver has only one workitem to work with which makes Approval more easier and saves him lot of time.
To achieve this new functionality you have to make use of new Standard tasks TS31000004, TS31000006, TS31000007. The old tasks will still work in ERP2005 but it may yield some un-desirable results. Hence it is highly recommended to use the new tasks.
Best Regards,
Deepak.

Is there any Android Application available for updating CATS Timesheet?

Is there any Android Application available for updating CATS Timesheet?
We need to enable to worldwide associates to clock the time from the cell phone. In case you have any suggestion please comment.

None that I know of.
It's more impressive and useful if you write an app and get it published in the App Store.
That way you can show you aren't just a 'paper MCSD'.

Result Analysis(WIP) not posted after 4 cycle run

Hi,
Every month value is posted in Result Analysis GL account for WIP. But we found in period 10 and period 11 value is not posted Result Analysis GL account after running 4 cycle run (Overhead calculation, WIP calculation, Variance calculation and Settlement). What may be reason ??
Regards,
Samrat

Hi Christian ,
One question related to Cut-Off period regarding WIP calculation which myself and Ajay were discussing 15 days back..
Is it required to change the cut-off everymonth when we calculate WIP . In my client.. then donot do that .. but still we calculate the WIP..
Is the significance of cut-off period is to tell the system the first period to calculate WIP .. during implementation .. My client never changes that and its in a MTS ( Process Order Senario )... but calculates WIP every month.

Long Text Icon in CATS Timesheet Approval View

Hi:
Employee created a timesheet in ESS. He/she also keyed in some long text in the timesheet screen.
When manager goes to the UWL to approve the timesheet, there is no icon to show that there is a long-text attached to the record.
May I know if there is any place we can configure to have this icon showing for the records which have the long-text, in the portal?
We can see the icon in T-Code: "CATS_APPR_LITE - Approve Working Times" in the backend. But I'll need the same icon in the portal.
Please could someone advise me on this?
Thanks....

Hi
Did you try creating a new 'Profile' for Approver's view?
The config steps are defined at IMG>Cross-Apps Components>Time Sheet>CATS regular>Approve Working Times.
Pl do reward if this helps.

CATS Timesheet creator and approver

All,
We have two main roles we are dealing with in CATS. We have a Time Sheet creator and than a Time Sheet Approver. Right now it is setup mainly through the P_ORGIN auth. obj. I won't allow the approvers to approve their own time sheets but itlll allow them to approve everyone elses. so Infotype 0328 is setup with ' ' subtype and activity D, and P_PERNR activty M,R with infotypes 0000-0002 0007 0315 0315 2001-2003 2010 with subtype ' ' and it will allow the approvers to approve anyones timesheets but their own like we would like.. In the Time Sheet creators it is setup with infotype 0001 and ' ' subtype. with activity M in P_ORGIN and activty R for infotype 0007 & 0316 with subtype ' '. which allows the users to create timesheets for only themselves
The issue is when those two roles are put together to the approver can't create a timesheet. We need the approver to be able to create timesheet for themselves only and approve timesheets for everyone but them selves. I understand the logic of how it is setup (well atleast I think I do) and I know by adding a * to the approver subtype it will allow them to create timesheets for themselves. Is there anyway around this or another way of assigning authorizations to get this to work properly.
Thanks,
-Daniel

Hello,
I have exaclty the same issue.
have you found something please ?
Do you use Pd profile or P_ORGINCON authorisation ?

ESS CATS timesheet - template lines repeat when saving

Hi experts,
We have implemented CATS on SAP Portal and when you have a time entry template, and you save your time entries, the saved time is "pushed" down the timesheet by blank template lines. This happens only on the web Dynpro version (ECC does not happen) of the timesheet. If there is no template defined, everything works fine.
Is this a know bug? I am on the verge of raising a message with SAP, but was hoping someone here would have the solution.
Best Regards,
AS

you are on which release we have notes 1112545
and 1017728 1143980
also ensure that attributes like absence attendance type which are displayed should be set as input in CAC2
ie
Please ensure that all fields in CATS screen are set as input
If you record an extra attribute than
the one already saved with the Template, You are bound to get an
Line Split. Please check if your user exit is defaulting any
extra attribute or you are adding it during the recording
of time or being defaulted using 0315 infotype
Line split occurs when the Employee records time to
a different attribute ie already available in the Template
for him
An example
You need to ensure that the attributes are not changed
ie new values defaulted using the exit, which are doing
Example
Your template has values : A B
Your exit defaults : A B C >>> C added extra, line split!
So ensure A B C are already saved as template. Makes sure your
end users or the exit is not adding extra attribute to the recording
time
This is what i am trying to explain if this is possible.
