ESS CATS Timesheet without Project Systems

Hi experts,
My customer have ECC EhP7. So far the customer uses a .NET based custom web based application to book time against projects.
Possibly the project information are stored somewhere in the background database the custom application is connecting to.
Now they want to move to SAP ESS CATS for time recording.
Also, they have not implemented the projects information in PS module and have no plan for the same.
In this situation, if I have to get those project information in CATS, what are my options?
Is it mandatory in CATS to maintain the project details in PS module ?
Best Regards
Arindam

Hi Count,
Thanks a lot for your help. Can you please give me little more technical inputs on how to add a z field in CATS?
And about sending data from catsdb to .net system through file, can you please little elaborate on this
in terms of what kind of objects need to be developed for this?
Any function module needs to be developed and configured as a batch job?
Would this function module will extract data from catsdb and send to .net system in the form of a
flat file or idoc?
Can you please advise.
Best Regards
Arindam

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

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 - 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.

Multiple backend systems in ESS CATS Webdynpro scenario - challenge

Hello Everyone!
For one of our customers we have the following challenging situation with the ESS CATS Webdynpro scenario:
System Landscape:
ERP 6.0 HR Backend System
ERP 6.0 FI/CO Backend System
EP 7.0 with already running ESS scenarions
Our customer actually uses the ESS CATS Scenario for collecting wage types into infotyp 2010. Now, additionally, they want to
use ESS CATS for an internal cost allocation scenario. This means, that the data from the CATS Webdynpro have to be redirected to the FI/CO backend system instead of the HR system (because of a missing standard ALE scenario for this case). The JCO SAP_R3_HumanResources points to the HR-System. Is there a way to dynamically redirect the system assignment depending of the used CATS scenario. Out of the CATS Profile we can conclude which system should be assigned. I red a lot about dynamic system resolution in the SAP Library, but it seems not to be the right solution for this issue - because I need to know the CATS profile for the descision.
Any hints would be great. Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Harald

First of all, I introduce myself: it’s Oscar Garcia de las Heras, from Madrid, Spain.
I can check in SCN and Linkedin your high expertise in ALE, ESS and SAP.
We have a delicate situation in my current project; I would like to ask your help.
The situation is this: we have different machines in HR and FI, and are trying to implement Travel Management through the SAP Standard Portal.
TM settings is in the FI machine, but ESS calls to the HR machine.
We have 2 ideas:
-A, differentiate the different services of the Portal, so specific HR processes will call to a HR machine and others will call to a FI machine.
-B, set the ALE processes to duplicate HR information in FI, and Portal will call just FI machine.
We prefer first idea; would you recommend us?
Thanks a lot for your time

Billing for Project Systems without using Sales Orders

Hello All,
We are using project systems in our project and we are not creating any sales orders for the same, however I am creating delivery using t-code CNSO and hence the outbound delivery is getting created, my question is can I create a billing document for this delivery and if yes how can I create the same.
Kind Regards
Atul

Hi,
Yes you can create billing document for this delivery
Make sure following pre requsites
In VOFA for your billing type assign document pricing procedure under account assignment/pricing tab
In XD02 for customer under sales area data >> Billing assign customer pricing procedure
And last in OVKK in combination of
sales organization + distribution channel + division + document pricing procedure + customer pricing procedure = Price procedure

About reversal of Outbound delivery generated from Project system due to sale return

Hi SAP Expert ,
We have made delivery from project system using t.code CNS0 and billing document is generated with reference of sales order. Now Goods is return by customer due to some technical reason, We created return sales order with reference of billing document and Credit memo with reference of Return sales order.
What is T.code for making return delivery or reversal of Delivery /PGI generated from Project system in sap r/3 ?
Pls. suggest to me.
regards
VKM

Hello,
it depends whether in the billing document the material codes identifies the goods delivered and to be returned or not.
If it's so, you can create a Return Sales Order with reference to the billing document, create the return delivery, and then the credit memo.
If it's non so, you can create a Return Sales Order with reference to the billing document (but without copying the material items, and entering manually material code and quantity to be returned), then create the return delivery. Then you can create a Credit memo request with reference to the Billing Document or with reference to the Return Sales Order.
To create the return delivery, you can run VL01N with reference to the Return Sales Order (just like for outboud deliveries), or from VA02, following the menu path "Sales document --> Deliver".
Best regards,
Andrea

WBS Elements not getting created in ECC Project System from CRM 7.0

Dear all,
We are trying to integrate SAP CRM 7.0 with SAP ECC-PS module. The objective is to bring in the marketing plan and elements data from the CRM system, and to create the corresponding WBS in project system. We have done most of the configuration as recommended by SAP in both the systems, and we see that the BDOCS are getting generated and sent to the ECC system. The following steps have been successfully completed:
1.       Set up the RFC connections between the two systems
2.       Selected the connection type as Middleware in CRM system.
3.       Installed the cProject Add on in CRM box.
4.       Created a project scenario (with project and network profiles) in the PS system and assigned the same in the CRM system.
5.       The Project Scenario in PS config has the same name as the Project Type in CRM config.
6.       Created and released the campaign ids being created in the CRM system.
As already mentioned, we can see that the BDOCS are coming to the ECC system and are getting stored in BDOC_TRACK table. However the issue is that the corresponding WBS elements are not getting generated in the ECC system. Is there anything that that we are missing in the ECC box which would trigger the WBS element creation?
Request you all to share your inputs which would be immensely beneficial for us in achieving this integration.
Thanks and Kind Regards,
Aditya Shrivastava

Hello Aditya,

Charm without Cross system object lock

Dear All,
We have requirement for configuration of Charm without cross system object lock i.e. solution manager will be used for documentation but create, release, import request from the development system itself.
Can we make changes in the functionality and use charm for documentation only?
if anyone has the same requirement can you please let me know steps to be followed.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sushant

Dear Prabhakar,
Thanks for the reply.
Our project has just gone live and issues immediate resolution is being carried. Charm will integrate with system and training is required for that which at this point of time not possible but at the same time without affecting the issue resolution we want to log the changes in solution manager.
We will use the CSOL feature may be some time later.
At present i have not activate CSOL, still the document doesn't flow through. Document got stuck at "In development" phase and doesn't move forward. It doesn't allow to change the status.
