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.

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Addig a new row in a table in Ess/cats

    Hello all,
    I am working on Ess/cats application.
    By default it is displying me 8 rows.I have to put a button to add a new row in the table.
    but i could not find a way to add a new row.
    Thanks and Regards.
    Punit Pawar

    Hi,
    In the onAction of button Add one more element in node which is bounded to the table. You can use following code.
    public void onActionAddRow(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
        //@@begin onActionAddRow(ServerEvent)
           IWDNodeElement element = wdContext.node<Node_Name>().create<Node_Name>Element();" Here Node_Name is the name of node which is bounded to your table.
           wdContext.node<Node_Name>().addElement(element);
        //@@end
    I hope it helps.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 - Hide weekly view

    Hi,
    We are on ERP 2005, ESS BP 1.0. The ESS CATS has 2 views weekly and daily.
    Is it possible to hide/disable either of them.. for example for a certain group of employees only the daily view should be shown and weekly view should be hidden/disabled.  I tried controlling this with the properties in data entry profiles.
    It does not work and it gives errors.
    Thanks,
    Mark.

    Mark,
    This is completely a front end thing. Not a back end configuration as far as my knowledge goes. You will have to work through the ess~cats DC and make the required modification through NWDI. I have done a decent amount of work on this DC though not specifically on ur requirement. Let me know if you require any more inputs on this

  • Change of tabs ess~cat/CatDataRecord - VcCatRecordEntryView

    Hi
    I have an issue regarding changing the sequence of the Tabs in the ESS application ess~cat/CatDataRecord.
    I have managed to get the view for Day to be presented before Week, but the table for day are not loaded directly when launching the application in the portal. Instead I have to select the Week entry and then back to Day to be able to register my time.
    I think it has something to do vith the VcCatTableDay and some onload issues.
    If solved - 10 points is given:)
