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.

  • 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,

    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.

  • 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
