Recording Time against Network Activity in CAT2

Hi All
In CAT2 can we post time against Network Activity for a Employee directly by entering the Network Activity? How do we do this?
I do not wish to use Worklist & Copy functionality. If I enter time against Network Activity by manually entering the number, I get the error 'Enter purchase order number and item number'. It is possible to do this against WBS. How do I correct this issue?
regards
Arvind

Hi Aravind Nadar,
Can you check the below steps, let me know once whether it is working fine.
SPRO->Cross-Application Component->TimeSheet->TimeRecording->Choose Fileds.
step1: Double click on the 'Data Entry Section' line Item
step2:Click on Influencing Button on the Application Tool bar.
step3: content Field-enter F4, and select the Data Entry Profile which is used by you.
step4: enter.
Step5:search for 'Sending PO Item, make it as 'input field'
and 'Sending Purchase Order' make it as 'input Field'
Step6: save the changes.(Back to initial screen)
Now you can check the CAT2 transaction with Data Entry Profile, for which you have made changes above.

Record time against network activity in CATS

Hi all
Is there any special exit to be used to DIRECTLY record time against Network Activity in CATS ? I do not which to use the "Worklist & Copy" functionality.
regards
PK

Hi,
As far as i know, you can directly do a timesheet entry for a network activity. You need to have details like activity type and cost center to do this. Also note that timesheet entry in CAT2 is directly influenced by the data entry profile that you use and the settings in CAC2 transaction.
I would suggest you to check both the Data Entry Profile and the setting in CAC2. If you find everything is fine here please check if there is any user exit that is preventing you from making a timesheet entry.

Time entries booked against network & activity are not transferring to PS

Hi every one,
We have scheduled a job to transfer time entries which were booked against network & activity on daily basis, but for some reason the time entries are not getting posted against the network (Only for certain network, see attachment), though it is not showing any error message when i saw the spool log for the job in SM37. When i ran CAT5 in test mode it is showing time entries which needs to be booked against the network and activity.
Can some one help me out to transfer the time entries via the job??
I have attached the screenshot from CAT5 transaction.

Hi Ram,
Variant will determine the selection of personnel numbers and other parameter defined on CAT5 selection screen. If manually posting is happening on network then it means network are fine.
What I can suggest is, you can create a new variant and then run it thought SM36 and check in SM37.
Go in CAT5 transaction, and untick test run, log and dates transfer can be ticked. Then save. Then variant attributes screen will open save the variant with a name and description .lets assume you saved the variant with name TEST. If you wish you can on save the variant on certain number of network or personnel number, it depends on you to keep it blank or run variant for limited number of records.
Now go in SM36 and click on STEP, in the ABAP program TAB enter "RCATSTPS", then select the variant using search help and you will find the variant defined above i.e. TEST.Check and save from bottom of the window. Come back once. Then click on START CONDITION, Date/Time - define a date and time for the variant "TEST" to run as a JOB.
Check in SM37 you will find the schedule JOB run time and date. After the JOB is finished you check report CJI3 for actual posting of network.
This will work fine, if in case you need few more fields to be defined in variant then I will suggest to create a variant via CATA instead of CAT5, their you will get more options to post time.

Multiple Commitment item against Network Activity/Header

Hi,
We have a project that utilizes fund from several commitment items. Therefore we would ideally like to have Multiple account assignment for the FM object in the network activity or header level.
As far as I have checked, there is no option for multiple commitment items at network level. Am i missing something here? Please let me know.
I know we could transfer the budget from the separate budget heads into one and use it. But we would prefer using multiple account assignment so that we can track how much has been utilized from each budget head.
Please let me know if there is a way to achieve this.
Thanks and regards,
Soumyadeep Paul

Please re-check your configuration for field selection. Chances are that the fields for Purchase Order (CATSD-SEBELN) and Item number (CATSD-SEBELP) are hidden and you cannot make entries against those fields.
In case you do not wish to make any entries at all for purchase order and item number, please connect with your MM colleague -- these aspects of CATS configuration need inputs from MM experts.

Emp cannot enter any time against the projects in CAT2 ?

Why he is unable to enter the timing.....Could u please suggest me the Reasons ...Please

What is the error pop-up

Re: Internal Orders after REL for Network Activity

Dear all,
Purchase Requisition (PR) will be automatically created after the Network Activity is Released (REL). However, for the PR created, Internal Order (IO) number would need to be maintained for reporting of the expenses in the FICO.
Hence, is the a method where we can maintain an Internal Order number in the PR automatically created through PS module? Or is enhancement development required to prompt a field for user to enter the IO number at the time the Network Activity is released?
Please advise.
Thanks.

you can create another customer field on the activity using an exit
go to txn SMOD
enter CN* and click on the match code button
you should get the CNEX0xxx number for fields on network activity
note - the PR created will have an account assignment of the network activty number
When creating PO you will need to ensure that the assignment is changed to internal order
I still do not beleieve this is a correct way - obviously your client have got it wrong and need to change
Lastly what is the benefit of having the Internal order number in the network activity as it will not automatically in the PO!!

Large records retrieve from network took too much time.How can I improve it

HI All
I have Oracle server 10g, and I have tried to fetch around 200 thousand (2 lack ) records. I have used Servlet that is deploy into Jboss 4.0.
And this records come from network.
I have used simple rs.next_ method but it took too much time. I have got the only 30 records with in 1 sec. So if I want all these 2 lacks records system take around more than 40 min. And my requirement is that it has to be retrieve within 40 min.
Is there any another way around this problem? Is there any way that at one call Result set get 1000 records at one time?
As I read somewhere that “ If we use a normal ResultSet data isn't retrieved until you do the next call. The ResultSet isn't a memory table, it's a cursor into the database which loads the next row on request (though the drivers are at liberty to anticipate the request). “
So if we can pass the a request to around 1000 records at one call then maybe we can reduce time.
Has anyone idea How to improve this problem?
Regards,
Shailendra Soni

That true...
I have solved my problem invokeing setFetchSize on ResultSet object.
like ResultSet.setFetchSize(1000).
But The problem sorted out for the less than 1 lack records. Still I want to do the testing for more than 1 lack records.
Actually I had read a one nice article on net
[http://www.precisejava.com/javaperf/j2ee/JDBC.htm#JDBC114]
They have written a solutions for such type of the problem but they dont give any examples. Without examples i dont find how to resolve this type of the problem.
They gave two solutions i,e
Fetch small amount of data iteratively instead of fetching whole data at once
Applications generally require to retrieve huge data from the database using JDBC in operations like searching data. If the client request for a search, the application might return the whole result set at once. This process takes lot of time and has an impact on performance. The solution for the problem is
1. Cache the search data at the server-side and return the data iteratively to the client. For example, the search returns 1000 records, return data to the client in 10 iterations where each iteration has 100 records.
// But i don't understand How can I do it in java.
2. Use Stored procedures to return data iteratively. This does not use server-side caching rather server-side application uses Stored procedures to return small amount of data iteratively.
// But i don't understand How can I do it in java.
If you know any one of these solutions then can you please give me examples to do it.
Thanks in Advance,
Shailendra

Conflict between CAT2 and ESS Record Time

Does anyone know how to set up security to allow someone to record time through ESS while prohibiting that person from recording their own time through transaction CAT2 in ECC? Our Payroll Department uses CAT2 to record/correct time for the entire company, but they are prohibited from recording/correcting their own time through CAT2 due to SOD violations. Prohibiting them from recording their own time in CAT2, however, also prohibits them from recording their time through ESS. We've tried using two login IDs for each Payroll user, but that did not work because each would have to be linked to the user ID so you end up with two IDs that can either record their time through both CAT2 and ESS or neither. We're also aware of context-sensitive based security, but we've been told that would require redoing all of our security roles, so we're trying to avoid it. Does anyone know of another way to achieve what we're trying to achieve?

Why is time recording an SoD and if so why is ESS not an SoD?
Probably because the ruleset does not include the webservice but only the cat2 tcode... in which case you might as well create zcat2 which calls cat2 without skip first screen --> no SoD anymore...

CAT2 - Access to record time on setting conditions?

Hi Experts,
Can anyone suggest a solution for the below scenario.
We have two different users having access to enter time entry in CAT2 transaction.
User 1: Have to enter his time entry only to his personnel no. in CAT2 transaction. He should not post time entry for other
personnel no.
User 2: He is the time administrator, who records time entry for (sub_contractors) several personnel no. in CAT2 transaction. In
this case the sub_contractors does not have access to this transaction.
I used CVR & PER parameter to default DATA ENTRY PROFILE & PERSONNEL NO. for the individual employee. However the system is not restricting the user to access other personnel no.
Please help me to solve this issue.

R3P- Project builder Network activity processing time

Hi Gurus,
I have created a Network activity (internal)for our equipment to be dispatched at CM21.
I have input 250.0Hrs and the NWA scheduling date as follows:
Cannot start before: 07/28/2010
Finish not later: 08/31/2010
the NWA work center has the operating time of 8.00H and execution formula of SAP008 Proj:RqmtsNetwkMaint
but upon checking at the NWA 'date' tab the earlier tart date was 07/29/2010 and earlier finish date was 08/08/2010 and the duration was computed 1.5WK it still computes for 24Hrs whereas it should compute 8hrs only.
Please advise what should i change or which should i set up?
thanks.
God bless

Hi,
Please create New network under L3 WBS element then you have to create Activity that time system give different activity number
as per above mentioned screen shots showing - same activity numbers why because - while creating activity system has considered same Network number to L3 wbs element

then your issue will be clear
Thanking you

Hi,
Go through the SAP NOTES 777934
Symptom
When a new network activity is created using BAPI, BAPI_BUS2002_ACT_CREATE_MULTI and then the newly created activities are
reverted by using BAPI BAPI_TRANSACTION_ROLLBACK,the control objects of newly created activities are not reverted, therefore when you perform a
commit of the transaction by using BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT, a short dump'ILLEGAL_TEMPORARY_OBJNR' occurs.
Other terms
short dump 'ILLEGAL_TEMPORARY_OBJNR', CKCOUEB, Costing Sheet, Posting Date, Overhead key, CK_F_CO_OBJECT_ALL_REFRESH, BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION.
Reason and Prerequisites
This is caused by program error. This note references SPC 770601 and created for corrections to be included in support package.
Solution
Implement the source code corrections.

Time Events in PS (Clocking on an off a Network Activity)

Hi,
Is there a SAP standard transaction for clocking on and off jobs for a Network Activity? In PP you can clock on and off a job using CO19 but that doesn't work for PS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Adeel

As I understand, this kind of funcationality is not there in PS becasue in PS all the project activity is not direclty depends upon physical plant resource entiry directly. So, indirectly you can achieve the same via early confimration and extending duration of acitivty etc..
Pelase share if someone have other views.

Trying to find the Network Activity number from the CATSPS table

Hi Experts
I am trying to build a report to show unprocessed time on Network Activities. The time is entered via CAT2 and transferred to CATSPS via the CATA job.
Once the data hits the table, an internal system number is given to activity.
I have the following example:
Say I have three Network Activities all linked to the same Network and WBS as follows:
Network   Activity #
43000121 0001
43000121 0002
43000121 MTS
When I post time against the 2nd and 3rd NWAu2019s, CATSPS has the following entries:
RNPLNR               RAUFPL                RAPLZL
000043000121    0000000182         00000002
000043000121    0000000182         00000003
Now the RAPLZL field has no visual link to the NWA.
Does anyone know of the Internal table that holds the link between the RAPLZL field and the Activity that is represents.
I have already looked at PLPO (no entries).
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Match the entries RAUFPL, RAPLZL of CATSPS with AUFPL, APLZL of AFVC table, you will get the activity number(VORNR)
