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.

Error in Record Working Time

Hi,
Whenever an user clicks on the link "Record Working Time", it gives an error The profile in use has 65 columns. A maximum of 40 columns are allowed.
The CVR parameter is maintained and also the Profile is maintained.
Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks and Regards,

Hi pinki,
Using tcode cac2 you can hide certain columns which you do not need. So that you do exceed limit.
Hope that it will be helpful.

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

How to keep Default Attendence/Absence type in Record working time (CATS) application?

Hi Friends,
I tried by keeping default value in Profile for Attendence/Absence type but it is not reflecting in CATS application. It is reflecting after entering from time and to time and after pressing ENTER button.
But i have to display the default value while loading the application?
Is it possible?
Can you pls suggest me the solution?
Thanks,
R V Narayana

Hi Siddharth Rajora,
Thanks for your reply. We tried by maintaining standard template for a profile. But It is not allowing us to change the default value in Attendence type.
Let us consider we kept default attendence type as Attendence for 7rows. If we changed the default value of 2nd row from Attendence to Leave, After pressing Save Button the entry which contains Leave is going down to 8th row.
So i dont think that this is a better solution.
I will try with jyothi solution and will come back to you.
Thanks,
R V Narayana.

"Record Working Time" application in ESS

I fill the number of hours per day for all the days in a week against an Att./Abs. type in the "record Working Time" webdynpro application in ESS, review the entries and save the entries.
When i come back to check the entries for the same week, it creates multiple rows with the same Att./Abs. type and fills the number hours per day accordingly, which results in a matrix display of entries.

Sridhar,
Thanks for your response.
I have executed the transaction CAT2 in ECC and it was working fine. If there could be a problem with Data entry profile or CAT2 program how would it work fine in the back-end.
I guess there goes something wrong with the WD application.

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.

Srikanth Naidu

Our cut over to the new release was Dec. 18th, 2006. We discovered the problem on the 11th during a stress testing. We immediately created an OSS note for SAP. They did not really engage in the note for 3-4 weeks. After several discussions with our Sales Rep, they finally elevated the issue to High Priority. As of today, they have identified the problem and are working on the resolution. As soon as we get the fix and have tested it, Ill update this message with the results.

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

ESS Timesheet - Record Working Time application partialy in german

I initially deployed the ESS BP and the Time Entry -> Record Working Time application was comming completely in english.
Then I changed the JCO references of ess/cat DC to some other backend, still the app was english.
When I changed the JCO reference back again this time the Record Working Time application was half in german langauge.Text on tab strip, all buttons are in german.
I even changed ProjectProperties.wdproperties property masterLanguage="en", earlier this was masterLanguage="de"
Still half the app is in german. I even deployed the standard ess/cat DC again still no luck.
How do I make it english back and what is the reason for random behavior?
Regards,
Vishal

Make sure you have no language set up with Jco connection
it should be blank!
Normally no language should be maintained for the above mentioned JCO's
If you have maintained any language for the JCO's ,kindly put it
blank.

Please have a look at the Note 947081
this is how language are set
the hierarchy of what locale a component will be shown in the portal,
will be :
1)component- if he have a locale define
2) portal mandatory locale -( that's what we suggest)
3)user locale
4)browser locale
5)Portal default locale
6) system locale

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

A
A1
A2

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 error "Profile not initialised" TS31000007

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.
Any idea why it is giving the "Profile not initalised" when i assign the workflow in data entry profile.
Your help is apprecaited.

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.

ESS - Record Working Time Error Display and Approved Time in Calendar doesn't update color

Hi Experts,
We are using EHP7/NWBC. On ESS under Record Working Time when an employee enter time, system error message displayed on screen. Even through the message appears, employee able to submit time and manager can approve it.
We would like to know, how to remove this error message. We tried through clearing error log but when employee logs back in, it again appears.
And also, when Manager approves time, for the approved data Calendar doesn't get updated and employee don't have details that manager approved or not.
Appreciate your response to resolve these two issues.
