Long Text Icon in CATS Timesheet Approval View

Hi:
Employee created a timesheet in ESS. He/she also keyed in some long text in the timesheet screen.
When manager goes to the UWL to approve the timesheet, there is no icon to show that there is a long-text attached to the record.
May I know if there is any place we can configure to have this icon showing for the records which have the long-text, in the portal?
We can see the icon in T-Code: "CATS_APPR_LITE - Approve Working Times" in the backend. But I'll need the same icon in the portal.
Please could someone advise me on this?
Thanks....

Hi
Did you try creating a new 'Profile' for Approver's view?
The config steps are defined at IMG>Cross-Apps Components>Time Sheet>CATS regular>Approve Working Times.
Pl do reward if this helps.

Working of Individual Timesheet approval view in MSS

can any one tell what happens(how it works) when a manager selects "Reject " from drop down and press the transfer button in Individual timesheet approval view.
problem is : i have sorted the data based on A/A type Text. suppose that the data before sorting is 4,1,4 after sorting the data is 4,4,1. when i select reject for first two entries 4,4(sorted data) and press transfer it will go to collective approval view. then choose review. in this screen it showing the rejected times as 4,1(which is the previous data) rather than 4,4.
the summary is it is taking only previous data eventhough we have sorted it.
any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can select individually and those records which are selected as rejected will be rejected in the final screen
In individual approval you set the status approve, resubmit or reject! These are different statuses we need to use

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.

Hi,
yes you can use the mentioned CATS enhancement to throw the error message.

Customer exit to modify long text icon

Hi to all.
as you already know, I'm trying to make a program to modify the icon long text in reference to the number of digits in the long text.
I have found the enhancement SEUMP001 with function exit EXIT_SAPLSMPE_002, I have created the include ZXseuu11 and I have written the follow program:
IF rsmpe-menu = 30 .
rsmpe-icon_id = ' '.
ENDIF.
(that is the nuber of digit in the long text is equal 30 let the icon be blank else let the icon be underlined because in the standard program the icon long text remains blank unless the user write in).
But I receveid the following error when I execute the syntax check:'Field "RSMPE-MENU" is unknown.' Why?How must I write this program in according to the importing structure 'RSMPE-STATUS'? Thanks in advance bye
Maximilian

It looks like the EXIT_SAPLSMPE_002 does not have RSMPE-MENU as an importing parameter, and the value is not available in the program. The only value passed to the FM is OBJECT (RSMPE-STATUS).
You can use the importing parameter instead, as:
IF object = 30.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps.

Horizontal lines on long text icon

Hi,
I am working on IW32 transaction. When a long exits for any operation, we will be getting horizontal lines on the "Text"(notepad with pencil) icon. If there is no long text or if we delete the long text then these horizontal lines doesn't appear on this icon. My problem is when I am trying to delete the long text in this transaction through my program, the long text is getting deleted but the horizontal lines on icon are still existing. Can you please help me out how to handle these horizontal lines and where are these maintained.
Thanks & Regards,
Adithya M.

are you using delete_text FM or clearing contents ?
what is the SAVEMODE_DIRECT ?

Problem in viewing long text in QP03

Hi
    Facing a strange problem while trying to upload long text in QP01 using SAVE_TEXT.
the long text is getting uploaded properly
an entry is inserted in STXH with object, id, name, etc.
but when i try to view the long text in QP03 txn. (Display), there is no icon for view long text
when i go back to QP02 in change mode, the icon for long text (Create long text without horizontal lines embedded on it) exists, after clicking it am able to see the long text and if i am saving the plan while leaving the txn, then again if i see the same plan in display mode (QP03), i am able to see the long text icon and the long text by clicking it..if and only if i view manually every long text in QP02 and save while coming out the txn., I am able to see the long text icon and the long text in QP03.
Is it any setting problem or where am i wrong?

CATS Short Text & Long Text

Hello Experts,
How are "Short Text" and "Long text" used in CATS? I thought that these were supposed to be two separate text fields, but when I make an entry in the Long text field, the value shows up in the Short Text field.
Are these two separate fields? Any ideas how to use both Short Text and Long text and not have the value copied from one to the other?

Hi,
You can Create a rule in Alert Configuration based on the <b>error code</b> under "where did the error occur".
Based on this you can trigger the required Alert category.

Long text indicator against Notification task & SubOrder creation

Hi all,
We are using BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_ADD to create long texts against the notification tasks. Though the long texts are created and can be viewed through IW22, the long text indicator in QMSM table is not set and hence when I display the notification through IW23 and navigate to the tasks, the long text available icon is not displayed. I tried to use CREATE_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT as well. Somehow the long text indicator doesn't get set. Do I need to explicitly set this indicator after the BAPI call? Please provide your valuable inputs.
Also, I have one more issue. Is there a way of creating Sub Order against the PM order through a BAPI? We have a requirement to create a Sub Order against the superior PM order through transaction IW36. Could you please suggest if any of you have come across any BAPI that supports this requirement?
Thanks & Regards,
Vidya

I know I am posting answer to very old thread as did not find any answer so far, so giving clue. See if new solution seekers this helps you now…
Cause:
As the create_text or save_text does creation of text at data base level and does not pass through all the screens of the particular transaction, so the text editor icon is not enabled [like in tcode IW23 (IW33) Notification display text editor, tables holding damage text and cause text indicator qmfe-indtx & qmur-indtx I ]
Solution:
Read existing text using FM READ_TEXT i.e. retain existing text in internal table, say IT_READ
Delete existing text using FM 'DELETE_TEXT'. Remember to set save_direct = x
Perform BDC to add dummy text doing call transaction. This will set text indicator to ‘X’.
Append your new ext to IT_READ.
Now create text again using FM 'CREATE_TEXT'. Remember to set save_direct = x
If you have requirement that created text should not be editable then you need to change format of IT_READ.
Like IT_READ-tdformat = ‘>X’ & IT_READ-tdline = ‘*<one space><your text>’ [may use CONCATENATE '*' IT_READ-tdline INTO IT_READ-tdline SEPARATED BY space.].
Below are above steps code snap shots.
Bdc part for IW22
PERFORM bdc_dynpro USING 'X' 'SAPLIQS0' '7200'.
PERFORM bdc_field USING 'BDC_OKCODE' '=TXPS'. "DAMAGE_TXT icon
or   PERFORM bdc_field USING 'BDC_OKCODE' '=TXUR'. "CAUSE_TXT icon
Based on your text editor configured to keep track of timestamp log, use one of the option. My case first two lines of text editor shown timestamp log lines and they are non editable.
* PERFORM bdc_dynpro USING 'X' 'SAPLSTXX' '1100'.
* PERFORM bdc_field USING 'BDC_CURSOR' 'RSTXT-TXLINE(02)'.

How to display Long text in alv output

Hi,
I have developed an ALV report.It is displaying the output.
There is another requirment for alv output text field as below
From the long text fields show only the first 20 characters and afterwards the long text icon. If the icon is clicked open the long text display screen.
Please give your suggestion how to work on this requirement.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Create a hotspot for the long text column of ALV.
When user clicks on the hotspot, handle the event to display long text screen.
You may refer sample program of hotspot ALV :
Goto SE38
Type BCALV*
Click F4
search for HOTSPOT or EVENTS & you will get a sample program.

Long text problem while uploading Inspection plan through BDC.

Hi,
I am facing some problem while uploading the inspection plan. There are few MICs for which we are having long text, while uploading the inspection plan through BDC - some other long text is getting copied into the MIC's long text. After checking I came to know that in function module, read_text - some text which is stored in ABAP memory is getting copied into the inspection plan.
I am working in SAP release 4.7. I have checked with SAP notes: 97419, but it is also not satisfying.
Waiting for quick solution.
Thanks in advance.

Hi a®s,
Thanks a lot for your kind reply.
My requirement is I want to maintain long text for few MICs (which are not having long texts at MIC level) in inspection plan (QP01).
When I am trying to manually assign the MIC's to inspection plan (QP01), long text is copied whereas I am not clicking the long text icon in (QP01). Long text is not maintained in MIC level, still some long text is copied to this MIC. This was also happening while uploading the inspection plan thro' BDC.
I believe what you have mentioned about function module SAVE_TEXT cannot be used here since long text is already copied before we pass the long text. Also if we pass some long text, still apart from the long text what we have passed there is some other long text copied (extra long text).
Waiting for quick solution.
Thanks in advance.

Operation Long text creation problem in IW32

Hi experts,
I have a requirement of showing a checklist pop up for all the new external operations in creating a MPA work order(IW32). And when the user answers the questions on the checklist, I have to copy all the questions and answers into the long text of the corresponding operation.
The problem here is,
for a case when the long text is not yet created for a new line item, when the pop up is shown and answers are filled, I am creating a new standard text using SVE_TEXT(setting the insert paramter 'X'), but the standard text is getting created in the database i.e a record is getting created in STXH with the text id, text name, text object of the operation. But when I go to IW32 and see the operation line it shows the create long text icon which says that the text is not created at all.
In a case where the long text is already created for the operation, and then the pop up is shown with the questions and answers are filled, the questions and answers are copied into the operation long text which is already created. So this works fine.
If any pointers regarding this please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Asha

Hi,
Try passing SAVEMODE_DIRECT = 'X' and check..
also check if the text exists using the function module READ_TEXT once you do the SAVE_TEXT..
Thanks,

Locking / grey out long text data in transaction IW32

Hi, I read in Locking/grey out long text data (From Coding point of view ) that there is a way to block the long text description via configuration.
Well. Could you tell me how to do this, please???
Thanks a lot!

I set a breakpoint there and the program never stop there.
I'll try to describe my problem.
I go to IW32 transaction, at the components tab I click on the Long Text button of each component of the order and I can modify it. Well, the client doesn't want that.For a type of order, the user cannot modify that text.
The more strange thing is that I tried to get the text with READ_TEXT function with the same parameters as the standard and it tells me that the text doesn't exists.
I'm starting to hate this module....

Maintaining role detailed description(i.e long text) issue

Dear Experts,
Can anyone help me out with the issue which i'm facing while maintaining role detailed description(i.e long text) .
In standard GRC approver screen, on click on any technical role it opens role details popup where we have one tab namely detailed description.
Can any one let me know where to maintain that role detail description or from where (any table)it fetches the role detailed description?
PFB the snapshot for reference.
Thanks
KH

Hi Katrice,
what SP are you on?
This role detailed description is maintained at backend system (PFCG) during role creation.
This information is later replicated to SAP GRC BRM (role detailed description as on your screen shoot) during role rep sync jobs.
This data can be also maintained in SAP GRC (define stage) during role creation.
If I remember correctly from SP14 this information once updated in BRM is later populated to ECC (both way sync).
Hope this helps,
Filip

Long Text not Trasporting in QS41

When I created code entries for a code group using transacation QS41, I filled in the short text but I also added long text to further clarify which code should be chosen. When I test this option in our developement system, I can click on "Display Long Text" icon and read the extended text when I am choosing a particular code.
When I transport these catalog entries up to our staging system, the code groups, codes, short text and long text icons transport great but when I click on the long text icon I get a message "No long text exists".
Has anyone run into this or can you offer a solution?
thanks

Impact on Timesheets (CATS) Auto Approved.

Hi Experts,
We are implementing timesheet(CATS) auto approval, please share your views on changing the status (20 to 30) by a batch job in CATSDB table.
Thanks and Regards,
Venugopal.R

Hi,
Normally the purpose of following the "Approval Process" in time sheet is; so hat the Manager / Supervisor can validate his subordinates time and then accordingly Approve / Reject it. Now I believe the batch job which you mentioned is going todo the approvalinstead of a Manager. If so then i would suggest to put in some validation before approving the time sheet entries. If your business case does not require any validation then you have another option wherein in the data base profile you can select the option of "Approve up on Save". This will automatically bring the status to 30 in CATSDB as soon as the user puts in his time sheet entries and saves it.
Regards
Sreekanth
