Date Format in Record Working Time

Dear All,
We are using standard ESS SAP Application i.e. Record Working Time. In this application in Weekly View, the date format is MM.DD.YYYY.
But for other countries it should be DD.MM.YYYY.
How to change this format?
We have changed the format in SU3 but still from portal the format is same.
Please help.

Nikesh Shah

Hello,
Crystal Reports is now returning all rows where pos_endd is null in the database with the record selection criteria of:
{CHRIS_EmpSal.pos_endd} = date(0, 0, 0)
However, when I run it in Finance One, it doesn't like this date format Is there another way to get both Crystal and Finance One (i.e., SQL Server DB) to recognise the same syntax for null dates?

User exit CATS0003 on loading of record working time screen

Hi Experts
this is continuation to my last thread
ESS CA-TS Missing time sheet,
the requirements remains the same and I just need to confirm below thing
Does cats enhancement user exit CATS0003 will trigger initially at the time of loading the data entry page (record working time screen) in ess? so that before entering the time itself users will get to know that they need to fill previous weeks time before continuing,
experts pls confirm.
Jo

If you want the end user to know what attributes to save time on, Try to make use of template
or A worklist!
Other than this you can just use Default values from Cac1 and Infotype 0315, Just check the docs
on this
Also a simple cats0002 can be used to supplement the recorded data

Record Working Time time data missing after save

Dear All,
I have some problem with my ESS record working time iview (CATW). All this while it was working fine until today, after I click on check entries and the save the time data, there is a message showing that the timesheet had been successfully submitted but the time data is missing form the field.
Normally after I click on check entries and save, I can still see the time data there even I logout and login again. But now after I click save, the data is not there anymore.
Any idea what wrong with it?
Regards,
Bryan

well the times will surely be saved! Please verify
this is just information
If you want to prevent this message to be issued, you
may consider a modification in the relevant function module
HR_BALANCE_TIMES_AGAINST_DWS:

      STDAZ_EXP    >= DAYGEN-SOLLZ AND "<    change in ">"

     IF INFOTYPE = '2001'.              "ABW umfaßt Sollarbeitszeit

       ENDUZ_EXP = SPACE06.

I think this should be callend via ESS as well

Record working time: can't copy row from worklist for previous week

When copying a row from worklist to recorded work time for previous week the following error happen.

If I recall correctly, the Windows clipboard system allows the developer to place different types of data in the clipboard, and convert between them. It is often possible, for example, to paste formatted text as plain text and so on. Large amounts of data are sometimes stored as "links" back to the producing program, so that it can transfer data directly.
Now this is just a guess, but when you select all with Ctrl+A, there's a chance that Skype in fact puts all the information about the whole message into the clipboard, including its metadata such as time, sender, etc. Dragging would just select the text.
If the receiving program cannot interpret the metadata, and the plain-text version is not also stored in the clipboard, then pasting would fail.
Again, as I say, this is just a guess. We would have to get confirmation from the Skype developers as to whether this is true.
Have you tried pasting into different programs? (Word, plain text editor, Powerpoint...) If one of them can accept the clipboard contents then we may get a further clue.
EDIT: I found this program which inspects clipboard contents directly - http://www.peterbuettner.de/develop/tools/clipview/ which may also be of use.

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

Record Working Time task merging multiple employees into a single task

Hi Everyone,
I'm going to check our configuration again to see if this is standard behaviour, config, or a problem with EHP 3's version of record working time.
So if employee A submits to manager A 1 task is created. Then when employee B submits to manager A we were expecting 2 tasks. However, we've been noticing manager A is getting 1 task with several line times.
We are ok with it merging tasks for employee A over multiple weeks. That is ideal actually.
The problem is that employee B's task should be separate.
Is there a quick fix?
Thanks,
Doug Robbins

I did try 31000007 and noticed the same behavior. Are you saying I should use an older version of the task to get back to grouped by employee number and not merging everything?
Well this causing us issues for a few reasons. The main one we developed a work around because we had to make sure emails were not being sent to 1 person for all the employees with their data. That would cause obvious security concerns.
But when forward tasks out managers want to be able to forward a specific employee's requests and not all of them. If some customers want this it should be a configurable option. To allow companies that want 1 single task or companies that want 1 task/employee/week.
This is inconsistent with the other portal applications. It would be nice if Germany picked 1 way of doing things or provided more configuration options. I'm hoping that OSS gives us something because merging everything into a single task for all employees is not the behaviour we want or expected.
I always appreciate your input because you have been very helpful as I learn about portal.
Thanks,
Doug R
Thanks you

Header information not displaying in ABAP Webdynpro record working time

1. I am not seeing the header information, personnel number, name, cost center, on the ABAP Webdynpro record working time timesheet. When I run the timesheet profile in CAT2 the header contains the personnel number, name, cost center, but these do not display when the ABAP Webdynpro timesheet is run
2. Is there a version of the ABAP webdynpro timesheet that prompts for the personnel number, date and profile prior to executing the timesheet? I want to define an ESS link for managers to update timesheets of individual teammates. The teammate do not necessarily have to be their direct reports

Hi David,
CATS Webdynpro application is a OIF fpm. Please check if you have performed the FPM IDR configuration properly.
In standard, the ESS CATS does not prompt for the personnel number except in CE scenario. In MSS addon, you have an option to launch the ESS CATS application on-behalf of the employee. Please refer to the sap library documentation.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Roy

Enhance legend in Record Working Time IView

Hi,
I am working on SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0(Service Pack 4). New NetWeaver functionality in Record Working Time section(of ESS>Working time ) allows employees to enter their working times for different attendance/absence types showing different colours in calendar for Rejected and Not Released statuses. Now the requirement is to include one more colour to show the approved times in the calendar. Ie, Currently legend has two colors with text, like ( <Red box> Rejected <Light Red box> Not Released), now i have to add ' <Green box> Approve ' beside 'Not Released' text, and if manager approves the time sheet then those dates will be displayed in green color.
If any body worked on the similar type of requirement or having knowledge....please let me know how to achieve this req.
Thanks in advance.

HI,
You need to implement BADI for this ..
BADI name : "PT_ABS_REQ"
In the BADI "PT_ABS_REQ" interface "IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ" you can find the method
"SET_CALENDAR_COLOR" in that you can set the colure for the Absent type ......
Adjust Colors of Calendar and Team Calendar
Functionality
You can use this method to change the colors in the team calendar.
In the standard system, the different statuses for requests have different colors. You can use this method to differentiate the colors of requests depending on the following aspects:
Status of requests (status)
Action that an employee has executed: new request, delete, change (UIA operation)
Subtype of absence (SUBTY)
Full-day or partial-day absence (BEGMT, where BEGMT = 0 signifies a full-day absence)
Application mode ( mode). You specify the application mode in the Select Employees for the Team Calendar IMG activity.
Color Display of Status of Leave Requests(COLORS_ACTIVE). You specify this status in the Specify How Leave Is Displayed and Default Values IMG activity.
Available Colors
You have a choice of 16 colors. The 16 colors are hard coded, that is, you cannot change them or add other ones.
The available colors are stored with their RGB value as constants of the CL_PT_REQ_CONST class. Use these constants if you want to change the colors.
Notes
If you change the colors in the team calendar, you should also adapt the legend accordingly. You can use the Adjust Legend for Calendar and Team Calendar method to do so.
Hope this work!!!

Number of rows in Record Working Time.

Hello Guru's,
IN ESS- Record Working Time - the number of rows visible are set to 8 in the Web Dynpro Java Code.
I had a look at the Note:
Note 957741 - Few lines in the data entry grid of the timesheet webdynpro
The question I had is to have more than 8 rows visible, is it Java Code modification or any other alternative to change the number of Visible Row....
Please reply back asap.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Best Regards,
Pramod

Hi Siddharth,
Thanks for the reply.
Looks like if need to change the no of rows need to do the WDJ code modifications.
Interesting to know the other details in the message.
But in the reply the interface you mentioned what for that is used,
Since when checked the where used list of the attribute it calls ADD_INITIAL_LINES_TO_TIMESHEET even in the debug it is not allowing to do the changes to value which is 6 by default.
Since the value is constant it cannot be changed.
what was your intention when you gave that reply, curious to know how would it solve the issue.
And one other questions In the Java Code
ListViewerSlim listViewer =
                    new ListViewerSlim(
                         view,
                         wdThis.getRFC_FieldList_Timesheet(),
                         "TimesheetData",
               //               listViewer.destroyAllColumnHeaders();   //XZQ110505
               theTable = listViewer.getTableControl();
               theTable.setVisibleRowCount(8); //Note SOW_957741
               //               theTable.setHeader(null);      //XZQ110505
it is set to 8 why is it different in both the cases.
Since, when we login to the Portal it shows no of rows visible as 8 not 6 as it is in the interface?
any thoughts on this.
Kind Regards,
Pramod

Issues in Recording working time

Hi experts!
I have a problem in Recording working time. It display "The attendance/absence type 99/0800 does not exist on 01.01.2009".
Help me!
Regards Huy!

Hi,
When you are applying att./absence in the master data, system is telling there is 0800 att/absence type with 99 psg .grouping.
Which one you are applying whether absence or attendance.
either it is absence , create one absence type 0800 with 99 psg. grouping
either it is attendance, create one attendance type 0800 with 99 psg. grouping .
After creation of 0800, assign the screen no, TC, couning rules.
Then your problem will resolve.

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

How to implement Manager Selfservice - Recording Working Time - BP

Hi!
I would like to have a stepby step approach to implement business package for recording working time.
What I need is the following information?
1. Pre-requisites
2. How to create the iview ?
3. What R3 configurations need?
you can email if you have good documentation on this to [email protected]
Thank you
Ramesh

The primary limitation you will encounter when trying to do high speed
digital I/O using your E-Series hardware is that the digital lines are
all software timed. This means that for each and every digital
read it is necessary for your software to issue a command to your
hardware, read a single point, then receive the response from the
board. This prevents you from performing digital operations at
very high speed. In general, I would say that 100 microseconds is
a very good response using software-timed digital I/O on a Windows
computer.
It is difficult to make a good recommendation without more detail about
what you are trying to do. You may need to consider switching to
a Real-Time operating system, or upgrading your DAQ hardware to a board
that will allow you to time your digital acquisitions on the board
itself. These devices, such as the m-Series DAQ or the PCI-653x
series, would allow you to use hardware triggers for your digital
acquisitions, change detection, and buffered data acquisitions to
reduce the software overhead involved in a rapid acquisition.

Print record working time

I have configured record working time, everything looks EXCEPT there is no option to PRINT, how can we handle this ,
Version ep7 sp13...
Thanks in Advance.
Gareth

I did open a message with SAP regarding the missing print button and the fact that employee indicative data has also been removed from the time sheet in SAP's latest release. After much back and forth, SAP has concluded that this is missing functionality and they directed me to the infamous Note 11. Here is the text of Note 11 for anyone who may not be familiar with it:
<i>Dear Customer,
We regret to inform you that the function you require is not included in the SAP standard system.
If you consider filing a development request, we recommend that you either contact your Customer Competence Center (CCC) or one of the User Groups to place a stronger emphasis on your request. A list of SAP User Groups is available at http://service.sap.com/communities.
For more information, see http://service.sap.com/rollin.
Best regards,
SAP Active Global Support</i>
There is a "print" option on the iView which, when enabled, opens a new window for printing purposes. However, this provides a PageBuilder rendition of the timesheet which is not sized or oriented properly for printing. The result, therefore, is basically a truncated screenshot. Even after manually re-orienting the page to landscape, the timesheet is truncated so no hours show.
I recommended to my client that a development request be filed.
Another perspective that I have been told is that SAP's intent was to replace the Print Time Sheet functionality with the Time Statement functionality. This did not come from SAP, however.
In my opinion, this is an important feature that SAP should re-release as quickly as possible.

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.
