Custom Search help in Record Working Time

Hi,
We have a requirement to add a custom field on RECORD Working Time ( ESS). This field has been added and custom search help is assigned to the data element of the field. The values in the F4 help should vary based on employees department.
The related code for this requirement is written in the serach help exit. The F4 help is working as expected from backend ( ECC) but not in Portal (ESS).
I have added the custom field in TCATS_SHLP_ITS. After maintaining this table all the values in F4 help are displaying , whereas it should only display the values under employees department in Record Working time.
I understand the class cl_xss_cat_value_help_general is responsible for the search help in ESS is there any user exit or enhancement available for this class in order to control the serach values on ESS.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Pradeep

note that search help of CAT2 and record working time are different!
these are teh steps
please modify the following in the table TCATS_SHLP_ITS as follows:
1. Execute the T-Code SM31
2. Enter the table name TCATS_SHLP_ITS.
or check the class
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP_GENERAL
or check
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP*
take an example from Sap note 914125

Extra fields in search help window in Record working time EHP5

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know how to add additional fields/select options in search help window for Record Working Time ?
My system is EHP5 NW 7.02
I have added the custom search help for the respective filed in table " TCATS_SHLP_ITS".
I can see this table is having entry for only 4 selection options and 6 value fields for search help display.
But in my custom search help programme is having 8 select options(for advance search) and 10 display fields on the search window. It's working from CAT2 transaction but when I am running through webdynpro timesheet, I can only get 4 select options and 6 value fields.
Please let me know how to make the other fields available.
Thanks in advance.
Sonia

Hi Siddharth,
Thanks for your response. In that modify possible entries screen (Details view) I can see the search help is only having 4 select options and 6 display fields.
So as per my understanding max 6 display fields/4 select options can only be displayed on search window.
My requirement is to display more fields on search help OVS window.
Can you please suggest.
Thanks ,

Record working Time Activity search

Hi All,
In Record working time, when we click on Oper./Act. column for input, when we see in F4 list, it will open Advance Search window.
In this advance search there are three fields for searching. Rec.Order, Network, Oper./Act.
When we enter Network and click on Go, it will list all the activities for that Network.
Same as, if we specify Network and Oper./Act and click on Go, it willl show the corresponding one.
Remembering ID's of Oper./Act. is difficult to users.
Now what i am trying to do is, if we provide option to search based on Oper./Act. description it will be easy to users.
Is there any way to activate search option based on Oper./Act.
Regards,
Shankar.

Hi Siddarth,
Thanks for your vlauble inputs, as per your inputs you have given for Activity Type column.
But my requirement is for Oper./Act. column. When you press F4 here it will show three fields in Advanced Search window.
In Advanced Search window
1) Rec.Order.
2) Network.
3) Oper./Act:
Now in this Oper./Act search field we have to enter the code for seraching. But remembering the code is difficult to users. Since for one Network there are so many Oper./Act.
so, if we give Oper./Act description with wild characters for Oper./Act searching corresponding Oper./Act code has to display in results.
I check it in back end, this field is CATSD-VORNR.

Shankar Reddy Ch.

Restricting F4 help in OT Compensation type in ESS in Record Working time

Hi all
In ESS, In the Record Working Time, in Overtime Compensation type , I want to restrict the F4 help during display based on the Payscale group.
For eg If the User EMP1 has the Payscale group 11, I should show the OT compensation f4 help as 1, 2, 3 4.
     If the user is EMP2, has the Payscale group 12 ,, I should show the OT compensation f4 help as 1, 2.
Where I should write code to control this ?
Is there any BADI /user exit for this PBO action?

There is no customisation available, you need to go for modification here
ie CLASS CL_XSS_CAT_RFC_COMMAND_TOOLS method BUILD_F4_HELP
SAPLHRXSS_CAT_WEBDYNP          / LHRXSS_CAT_WEBDYNPU02
FUNCTION                       / HRXSS_CAT_WD_F4_AWART

Search Option in Fields in Record Working Time Table

Hi,
In ESS, in Record Working Time table, there is search option provided in certain fields like for Rec. Order we have search option and when we click, screen pops up with advance search by Order Type,CO Area,Order,Description. In R/3 we have search option provided in all fields but not in ESS.

Rule Groups in Record Working Time- Differnt attendances for different emp

I have a requirement. I have 2 different set of employees Salaried and Hourly. In record working time these 2 different set of employees should have differnt set of attendance types in the drop down. I know in Leave request this can be achieved via Rule Groups and WEBMO, but how do I do the same in Record working Time?

I can recommend better to use User exits or build a custom search help or a check depending upon employees criteria
Now in CATS WD as you are aware uses different search help
ie CLASS CL_XSS_CAT_RFC_COMMAND_TOOLS method BUILD_F4_HELP
SAPLHRXSS_CAT_WEBDYNP / LHRXSS_CAT_WEBDYNPU02
FUNCTION / HRXSS_CAT_WD_F4_AWART
This would be straight forward. Using authorisation would be tough to implement

Record working times with CATS

Hello experts,
I am a beginner and I really need your help regarding this point. we want to start recording working times in our PPM system. In our system we have the integration of our ERP system with CATS. We can easily registrate in ERP working time on each personnel number, on a specific cost center for cProjects, on activity type special defined for each role. We also transfer this costs with resources to controlling - so, in ERP system everything works fine.
But, when I go to PPM system - I'm lost. all that I maintained on ERP system is available on Accounting Tab in Detail Data -which is good. But, I am not able to see the confirmed work on task level, tab "Dates and work" (see screenshot attached). Do I miss some customizing? or how should I proceed in order that this field "confirmed work" to be filled with the data registrated on ERP?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Ruxandra P.

Hello Cassoké,
have you enabled CATS-integration with cProjects in customizing?
1) Customizing CATS-Integration for your project type in PPM
Checkbox "Time/Travel Expenses Rec. CATS/SRM/FIN". Setting up "Accounting Integration".
2) Customizing CATS-Integration from CATS-profile-customizing
For your CATS Data Entry Profil you have to select the Checkbox "From Project Assignment" to get your worklist populated from cProjects (task is released, person assigned to task, etc...)
3) Only entries with status '30' from CATSDB will be transferred to DPR_CONF_LI by the report "DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANSF"
4) And of course, don't forget to uncheck "Test" :-) when running "DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANSF".

Peter

Authorizations for Record Working Time

hi experts,
I assigned the copied role Z_SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP to a ESS user on R/3 side. The user is trying to access Record Working Time web dynpro application on Portal. He gets an error "there is no authorization to this activity". Does the standard role SAP_EMPLOYEE_ROLE not have the required authorizations?
If not, what authroization is needed for accessing CATS Web Dynpro on portal?
I appreciate your help.
Regards

Hi
Also check these:
1. In IT105 create a record assigning the user id to the personnel number in subtype 0001.
2. Ensure that the profile you have provided in CVR parameter and the profile you have customized are one and the same. Else, SAP will default 'ESS' profile to the employee on Portal.
3. If the above doesn't work out, create a new user in HRUSER - tcode, assign proper R/3 & ESS roles, parameter and then test.
If this helps, pl do reward.
Thanks

ESS & MSS - CATS regular/Record Working Time (Web Dynpro)

Hello,
SAP Library help (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ef/e18d3f7057eb0ce10000000a114084/frameset.htm) says the following:
Compared with CATS classic, the following constraints exist for this Web application:
Since CATS regular is an Employee Self-Service application, time administrators or data entry personnel cannot recording working time data.
Is there any workaround to solve it? I mean, we need to recording working time data centrally through ESS or MSS. That's possible? Any enhacement for that? No matter where to do it (ESS or MSS).
Thanks!
Miguel Angel.

Hi Jigar,
That's almost exactly the requirement we need to implement!
Basically we need:
a. The employees with computer will record their own working times via ESS
b. For the employees without computer, their working times will be recorded via MSS by:
1. their org unit superior OR
2. someone like a time administrator defined in a custom list containing "employees for the time administrator".
I mean, someone called "time administrator" will record working time for a determined numbers of employees, but this "time administrator" is not the org unit superior. It's possible?? This is the mostly case.
Other requirements:
- Default time sheets and target hours for employees (for each employee the corresponding time sheet and target hours)
Thanks!!
Miguel Angel.

CATT Record Working Times ESS

Hi everyone,
What I need to know is if there is any possibility to add by customizing without any development new fields in the Record Working Times Table. The fields I want are from(hours) / to (hours) for each work day in the weekly view, like it is displayed in the SAP GUI transactions. The hours are available in the daily view and also in the SAP GUI for the weekly view, so I hope its just customizing but I would like to know if anyone has done this as we need our employees to enter time in and time out. Any help as soon as possible will be greatly rewarded...

In the old ITS transaction CATW you cloud display the hours in the weekly view, but the window got so wide that you lost overview. A lot of customers did complain about that. Therefore SAP developed the weekly overview and the daily detailed view, which is a lot better that the old ITS CATW.
Our time-people raised the question, but SAP did reply that it is not possible to show hours in the weekly view, and they has no intension of developing this function.

Record working Time link in General Related Activities iView

Hello Gurus,
    In the MSS Related Activities iView we have a link to navigate to Record Working TIme iView, but when I click on that link it is pointing to the production portal but I am testing in the development environment.
   So please any one help he me out whether do we have to maintain any URL.
   When I click Timesheet I can see the list of employees in employee search area and information in general section but when I click on the record working time link in the related activities area portal redirects me to the production portal URL and displays the production portal login screen. Please help me out in resolving the issue.

Wondering if there is any way to generate or find absolute path to run these application, as they are running on Portal(it works just fine when i launch from my ESS role).

go to cac2
Let me explain with an example
You will need to:
1. go to CAC2, choose "Data entry section" from the first screen,
click "Modifiable" at the top of the screen.
2. find field "CATSDB-LTXA1" and check the radio buttons, if it is set
to "Hide", change it to "Disp.", and save.
3. now go back to CAT2 and go for "Administrator", the tick-off action
shall be available.
Please note:
On the first screen of CAC2, button "Modifiable" is affecting the whole
client, while "Influencing" is affecting a single profile.
So, that tick in "Administrator" will not be returned on by system only
when: you have set the field as "Input"/"Disp" in both "Modifiable" and
"Influencing".
But those fields which are "Disp." in "Modifiable" (whole client) but
"Hide" in "Influencing" for some profiles, will not be shown for those
profiles. (similiar with the problem with CATSFILEDS-DISPTEXT1)

Hi,
This is with reference to approvals of Times in ESS . I have copied the task TS31000004 to my custom task. I have made a custom rule to determine the superior in the Z task i have created.
Wehn i try to assign the Z task created to the Data entry profile in the "with approval" section( *** use sap business workflow *** ) , it gives me an error "Profile not initialised" . If i remove the check box for "Use SAP Business workflow" and do not enter any task there, the record working time screen is shown in ESS.

Hi Haydn,
I have check the wokflow through CAT2 in SAP R3. When i save the CATS record, it send a workflow task to the superiror identified through by custom rule.
If i try it through front end ESS, the same is not working and is throwing "PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED" error.
I have down the following
1) Copy the standard task TS31000004 to ZTS31000004
2) Assigned it as general task, assigned the custom rule in Default rules for agen determination
3) Assigned the Task in Data entry profile, checked the box "Use SAP Business workflow" in data entry profile.
4) In Portal i have registered the UWL system, note i am not getting the ZTS31000004 in UWL xml file.
Do i need to ADD the new ZTS31000004 in SWFVISU and delete the standard TS31000004 provided and re-register system ?
also do i need to create the events in SWETYPV for this Tasks as they are not present there?
Your help is appreciated.
