ESS: Time Sheet

Hi Gurus,
The Scenario is that for Time Sheet, when a contractor enters his time, it should not be reflected in HR. 
Is there any config to be done, or can we maintain the data to a Z Table?
we are using ERP2005
Please throw me some light..
Thanks in Advance

Hello Sera,
you want to use the ess scenario time sheet for external contracters to record their times, right? And you do not want to transport the data to the HR system?
Well first off all you should get yourself familar with CATS. Please study the following doku http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/64/400b2b470211d189720000e8322d00/frameset.htm
Every data you record with the time sheets is saved to a table called catsdb. Only if you release+approve the time its get tranfered to special interface tables. A report later does distibute the data from the interface tables to the target destinations (HR, CO, MM, cProject etc). If you do not run the report for the distribution to HR it wont get tranfered.
Again pls read the doku i have just provided. It will help you to understand how CATS does work.
regards,
Markus

  • Ess Time Sheet and Attendance Web Dynpro - ABAP or JAVA

    We are determining the resources we will be needing for the HR - ESS Time Sheet and Attendance Module.   
    What is this module written in.  ABAP Web Dynpro or Java Web Dynpro.
    Many thanks, 
    Multiple replies welcome.

    The ESSTimeSheet is now called Record Working Time & for now it is still in WebDynpro JAVA.. looking at how complex the whole application is, it will really take some beating to rewrite the same in WDA.

  • No Drop-Down in One Field of ESS Time Sheet

    Hi All,
              We are facing an issue with ESS, Activity type Dropdown values are coming in CAT2 but being not in ESS time sheet. Drop-down for all other values, eg network, receiving cost center etc., are displayed in ESS.
    Can you please suggest what could be the reason behind it.
    Cheers!!!
    Umang

    Hello Umang
    We are also faced similar kind of issue.
    For that Network,   activity type should be configured that should have enough permission for that PERN (means user).
    My suggesion it is issue with back configuration.

  • ESS Time Sheet - Print button missing

    Hi all,
    Refering to the thread "ESS Record Working Time - Print button gone in latest release?" (), has anyone actually managed to solve this in an (for the customer) acceptable way?
    Even though SAP for some reason desided to take the print functionality away for the time sheets, the customer still wants to print... So, if anyone out there know a decent solution, please share your knowledge! I´m in desperate need of help.
    Thank you very much in advance!

    It should know how much FMLA is used by the employee till date Because FMLA is  only allowed for 16 weeks . Here the scenario is like thay can enter vacation,sick or unpaid leave along with the  FMLA .
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    It is probably you don't have authorization to the IT 2001/ 2002.
    - Check your profile on ECC (Objetcs P_PERNR, P_ORGIN)
    - Try to record the same absences/attendances by CAT2.

  • Save & Release of Time Sheet in ESS.

    Hi all,
    The requirement is to provide two options after reviewing the time sheet in ESS, first one as per standard 'SAVE' which will save the time sheet (then employee will release later) and second one is customized one 'SAVE & RELEASE' which will save the timesheet as well as release it on a single instance.
    Tried with profile in TCATS Table (Release while Save), but it releases the time sheet on both options.
    Then created a custom RFC calling both SAVE and RELEASE RFCs subsequently.
    But that is also not working.
    So, if any of you came across similar issue. Please guide me on solving this.
    Thanks,
    Nathan.S

    Hi Siddhartha,
    First thanks a lot for your reply.
    But our requirement is to provide two buttons one for 'SAVE' and another for 'SAVE & RELEASE' in same page.
    Is it possible to achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Nathan.

  • Activities missing in worklist in web time sheet (ESS)

    We have a problem concerning activity elements which are present in the worklist in CAT2, but are partially missing in the worklist in the web time sheet. We are using SAP enhancements CATS0001, CATS0009 og CATS0010. I have looked into the project structure in CJ20N to ensure that the the status for the activity elements that are missing and those that are present, are the same. Is there any difference in the functionality that is generating the worklist in cat2 and in the web time sheet? How can I debug this issue?

    You need to use a HTTP breakpoint in your implementation at a place where you pass the activity types.

    3.  SAP Server
    4.  RFC program.
    Now if an employee punch his card it will going to store in SQL server .
