Time admin bypassing selection screen in CATS

Question

We have a quirk where by an employee is going into CAT2 and initially gets the employee selection screen.  If he goes into a timesheet and posts.  the next time he runs the transaction, it bypasses the selection screen and goes straight into the last employee edited.
Does anybody know why it does that? and how to stop it so it always goes to the selection screen 1st?
User params have the correct profile and employee selection variant.
One thing about this person is they were originally set up as an employee to go direct into there own record, but their params have been changed and there personnel record no longer links to their user id in info type 0050/0001.
I've not had this on other administrators, so it seems to be a bit localised / odd?
Thanks
Graham

Hello Sirs,
I have just made the testing on our internal systems.
1. This will automatically occur if you already have on SU3, configured CVR (CATS: Variant for time recording) and PER (Personnel Number (HR)).
2. If you don't have PER and CVR configured, the first time you enter on CAT2 you will need to enter the Pernr and Data Entry Profile.
3. The second time, this data will be fulfilled automatically and then the Time sheet will be shown directly.
The Option that controls this is inside CAC1 -> Select the Profile -> "No Initial Screen".
Here is the documentation:
Skip Initial Screen
Determines that you skip the initial screen, where you would normally enter the data entry profile and personnel number.
Use
Data entry is simplified for users because they are no longer required to enter a data entry profile and personnel number.
This function is only relevant if employees record their own working times. You cannot implement this function if you select from a list of personnel numbers, or record times for several personnel numbers.
Dependencies
You must maintain the user parameters CVR (Data entry profile) and PER (Personnel number) for the relevant employees. As an alternative to using the user parameter PER, you can assign users using the Communication infotype (0105), subtype 0001.
