Regardings Cross Application Time Sheet (CATS)

Dear All,
Please give the details about CATS and its importance.
As I am having an implementation project where in Time Management mostly it is concerned about the CATS. If any one is having the configuration document in CATS please help me.
Regards,
Harish

The time recording process using CATS notebook is structured as follows:
1. The employee calls up CATS notebook.
2. The employee selects the period for which he or she wants to record working times.
3. If required, the employee selects working time attributes [Ext.] from the picklist or enters
them manually.
4. The employee enters the hours worked.
5. The employee saves the data.
6. CATS notebook checks the data entered and issues warning or error messages if
required.
7. The employee releases individual data records or all records.

  • Cross Applicatin Time Sheet (CATS) Vs Time Manager's Workplace

    Dear Guru,
    I am not an expert in HCM Module.
    I would like someone to kindly do me a favour in explaining the diffent between CATS and Time Manager's Workplace.
    The main objective is to select the right tool for implementing Time Sheet User Interface for "Incentive Wage/Piece Work Payroll Scheme".
    Please kindly give me some light.
    Thanks in advance.
    Surapong

    The Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) is a cross-application tool for recording working times and tasks. It enables you to control all business processes concerning your employeesu2019 tasks u2013 from paying the employees, through monitoring the progress of a project, to creating invoices.
    Its main strength is that it enables your employees to record their own data.The Time Sheet is a cross-application component in SAP R/3.
    The Time Manageru2019s Workplace is a user interface incorporating the tasks involved in administrating employee time and labor and time evaluation messages. It was specifically designed to meet the needs of time administrators in decentralized departments.
    The Time Manageru2019s Workplace enables time administrators to do their daily work quickly.
    The Time Manageru2019s Workplace replaces the majority of functions of the Maintain Time Data (PA61) Time Management Pool (PT40), and Time Recording for Multiple Persons and Infotypes (RPTTMW00) transactions

    Best regards
    Fanny GROUX

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot, it's really help...don't know why I didn't see this customized point before in SPRO.
    But I have an other issue, my new fields is added in the CATS screen and now I'm trying to put default value by using the user exit of extension CATS0009.
    When I complete the value of my new fields in structure CATSD_IMP, there are not taking into account and the CATS screen doesn't display the value.
    Am I using the wrong table ? wrong user-exit ? or my code ..
    Thansk a lot again for your help.

  • SAP HR - Time sheet CATA

    Hi All,
    I have a query related to transfer of time to HR.
    We have scheduled a daily job for transferring time to HR  (program: CATSTAL).
    Whenever the payroll runs (which happens every months for 2-4 days), the transfer of time to HR is unsuccessful and the log displays error.
    This way every month few time records are not updated to HR and have to be identified and CATA has to be re-run for these entries.
    Can anyone please suggest a possible way for overcoming this issue?
    Regards,
    Kanika

    Hello Kanika.
    The likely cause of the errors would related to the status of the Control Record in PA30 - if the record has been released for payroll, the CATA cannot transfer hours to HR.
    The most obvious fix to this would be to stop nightly CATA run while the payroll is in Release mode.  If the CATA does not run, then all records will be picked up on the next run, so none will be missed.  I presume you are running the CATA for a wide time window, i.e. up to 3 months into the past.

  • Time sheet Display through CAT3

    Hi,
    We are using Cross application time sheets and expense sheet entry in SAP. We have the following issue, can someone please help out to sort it.
    When we go to the Expense sheet (PR05) through the CAT 2 transaction code (Aeroplane Sign) we see the expense sheet in edit mode which is correct but the issue when we go through CAT 3 whicg is the display mode we still see PR05 in the edit mode but it should be in display mode only.
    Regards,
    Roville

    Hi Roville,
    Please refer to this link.
    http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/CATS/CATS.pdf
    I tried doing it in my system. It takes me directly to PRO5 Trip Maintainance Screen.
    I'm not sure but I think irrespective of the CATS mode (Display/change) you will be taken to a default Trip maintenance screen where the working time attributes entered in the time sheet are copied to Trip Costs as default values.
    Hope this helps.

    We use Cats Applicatiosn, all the employees has to fill the time sheet and it will be sent to managers appoval this is built on CATS application.
    Is there any report i can run in SAP to find out how many employees time sheet is pending for particular manager approval.

    One of the ways is to approve the time sheets viz MSS where in Manager will be able to see which all personnel time sheets are pending for approval.

  • CATA: Time sheet: Transfer to target componets

    Could you please please give me an overview of what CATA (t-code) does?
    I have done some config in sandbox:
    I booked time in cat2 with a sender cost ctr + activity type and receiver cost center in ECC 6.0. With out running cata (t-code), I was able to see the actuals in cost center actual line item report and PS.
    I did not understand what was the purpose of CATA ?
    Thank you
    Ravi

    However, I am not sure but, I don't thinks so, because even I am workinng in ECC6.0,  I don't belive that this kind of development sap will do in any near future EHP or version. Please  let me know you are on which EPH in ECC6.0
    Because  than there is no point of approval  Functionality or T code - CAT4. It is one of the most required functionality of Any type of Time sheet.
    There is some thing wrong. Can you double check  and try to  replicate  the same in More reliable environment Quality.
    This is not at all std. SAP behavior.  Doe some analysis in in CJi3 with whose id actual cost got posted etc.

  • In CATS,  where can I assign "Activity type to default Time sheet",

    Hi gurus,
    In CATS,  where can I assignt Activity type to Default time sheet.  Please help me asap.
    If any cats doc.  available plz share with me.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sadana.

    If you have defined activity types then you can define them with the right price in KP27 for each costcenter.
    the costcenter is connected with the personelnumber.. in infotype 315 you can define which is the default activitytype for each person.
    if you have only 1 activitytype you can also programm the user exit to fill it in by default
    see EXIT_SAPLCATS_002 to implement a fixed activitytype for whole cats
