"Time and Expense" - cProjects 4.0

Heard about the 'Time and Expense' that's new to cProjects (4.00). Havn't really got to know the working of this though... Anyone who wouldn't mind sharing / contributing to this topic.
Thanks for your willingness to share...

Time recording in cProjects is a new feature effective version 4.0.
cProjects 4.0 is released only for ECC 6.0, CRM 5.0 and Netweaver 2004S. For customers having lower version, consultation is available from SAP. Please kindly refer to the note 900310. I hope this helps.

Time and Expenses

I am looking for a front end to put in Time and Expense and have it roll to AP or Payroll. Is there something besides Personal Time and Expense (which I believe requires Projects) I can use for this? How about Web Expenses - does this include time as well?

There is an application called Captura Expense that works well. You might look them up on the web for more info. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by HeatherWarholic ():

Ability log and track the time and expense reports of the sales employees

Hello Experts
Ability to log and track the time and expense reports of the sales employees.
Can we do this through WEB UI
Please revert.
Regards

Hello
Thanks for the reply
I thought of storing time zone in the time and use session variable to pick up user's log in info along with time zone that he is associated with.
However, if it has to be maintained by a table, then it should be manually updated right? I don't think that's what I want to do because a lot of our users travel a lot for short time, so they may not have their time zone info updated in the DB table when they are traveling somewhere else for a brief period while accessing OBIEE.
So my question is, how can I pick up user's locale time zone setting and make sure that the data, such as hour conversation are converted along with the displayed time stamp?
Thanks

App for recording volunteer time and expenses?

I volunteer for several non-profit organizations. I've been unsuccessful finding an app with that focus. Just need to be able to allocate time, mileage and expenses to each outfit. Any help appreciated.

Make sure you are ready for the lack of Rosetta.
Backup your data.
Only upgrade when all your software and hardware are ready.

Error Pop-up in Timesheet (Time and Expenses)

Where can I find the pop error logs in PMDB?
I want to find out the cases where user cannot save/submit his timesheet because the Project/Task against which he is entering his time has ended.
Can I find this data anywhere in PVDB?
I could find the data when user saves/submit time but I want to find this out when he hasn't saved/submitted his timesheet.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,

Prohibit new Time Entries and Expenses; Allow old ones to be posted

Hello Experts,
We only use PS with WBSes only (no network activity confirmation)
As wel we use CATS and Travel Management.
We post Time entries via transaction CAT 2 and expenses via PR05.
We have a business scenario, where we have to cancel a project - using a User Status 'CANCELLED'.
We need to differentiate between Time and Espenses posted before and after this status has been set: New ones prohibited,existing ones allowed to be further processed.
We need to prohibit NEW Time and Expenses postings - when the user runs CAT2 or PR05 - the behavior should be similar to teh message that we get when teh WBS status is CREATED.
However we have to ALLOW the approval of T&E and transfer to Controlling for the Time and Expenses that have already been posted before the Project was set tu User status 'cancelled'.
How can we solve this puzzle? Is it a combination of user statuses / transactions or a user exit we have to implement.
It seems that in order o prohibit Time entries the business tansaction 'Actual Activity Allocation' has to be prohibited, butthis prohibits both new time entries as well existing ones to be posted to Controlling.
Same for expenses - only that the business transaction is FI : Postings - prohibited - but it prohibits too much - both new and existing expenses.
Your advise will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
LT

Hi,
I hope you can use two exits for the validation data with respect to appropriate status from JCDO table along with date for the mentioned WBS element to code, i.e. it for the validation of the entry to be posted whether time or expense.
For CATS : CATS0003
For Travel Expense : RPRCST01

Time, Travel Expense in cProjects 4.0 TRANSFER

Working on cProjects 4.0, I have a few issues with regard to Time and Travel Expense in CATS:
1. How can the approved travel expense be seen in cProjects front end?
2. Which table contains the travel expense data?
3. Can approved expenses per resource be viewed in cProjects front end?
4. Assigned to more than one project simultaneously each corresponding to an internal order, how can a use make out (in CATS), which one to capture effort in - if they are all in the same confirmation period.
Thanks.

2)All cProjects tables start with DPR. In transaction se11, check by giving dpr*.
4) Configuration should be done to your HR profile in such a way that it allows time conirmation for tasks. The tasks to which the resource has been alloted to appear in the worklist in cat2 transaction. Just click on the project for which you want to confirm the times in the worklist and copy that to the data entry area. Ensure that the receiving internal order is specified.
Use the program DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANSF for transferring the time to the corresponding cProjects

Query reg. Resource and time allocation in cProjects

Wondering if someone can answer this query related to - Resource and time allocation in cProjects.
I understand the following regarding creating cProject -
1 - Project manager creates a cProject for any upcoming new project in the organization.
2 - Phases and Tasks will be created automatically (at our end) based on the template selected while creating the cProject.
3 - Project manager assigns the resources to the project.
4 - Allocate start date and end date for the resources against Tasks or Phase -
> This is the point where there isn't enough documentation to help me progress further. Please can someone suggest how and where do we specify the start date and end date to a resource in cProject.
A sample document on the BEST approach to create cProject, assign reources to tasks, allocate start date and end date would indeed help further clarify my doubt.
I wante to create a cProject with various tasks, assign resources, start and end date for each task. As the project progresses,
I want to execute a report to track the progress of this cProject as resources go on completing a task.
Thanks,
RB

Hi Pramod,
Thanks for your reply. Below are some queries based on few points mentioned by you.
Allocate start date and end date for the resources against Tasks or Phase -
When we prepare Project template, we define all project structure with phase, tasks, milestones, etc. - OK
Also we define phase and task depedency, duration for tasks. - OK
In actual Project execution PM creates project with reference to template, he add or delete any task / phase, changes duration if required. - How do you change duration of the task ? What series of events or clicks need to be followed ? Would be nice if atleast one option is listed.
While in project planning, planner has to enter start and end date for project. - OK
cProject scedules all other dates accordingly. We need not to go to individual phase or task to adjust dates. one can adjust only duration and depency to get required dates for tasks. This is standard planning phelosophy used in CPR, MSP or Primavra I believe. - At phase level, I can see Earliest start + finish and Latest start + finish dates populated automatically. In addition Start date constraint and Finish data constraints fields are available and empty. Is it mandatory to enter these dates ?
While doing resource assignment, the start and end dates are coming from task assigned to particular Project Role. - At Task level, I can see Earliest start + finish and Latest start + finish dates populated automatically. In addition Start date constraint and Finish data constraints fields are available and empty. Is it mandatory to enter these dates ?
cProjects automatically schedules the plan in create status, once the project released and actual status updated in cProjects, Project plan needs to schedules manually with help of schedule button in Project menu.- When I click Schedule button, message - Bottom-up scheduling was carried out is populated on screen. What is Bottom-up scheduling ?
Would be nice to get reply to above queries.
Thanks,
RB

"Travel Expense - cProjects" without accounting integration

Working with cProjects 4.0 (as a stand alone system), can I have time and effort captured against task of cProjects' project? I am looking for a scenario where a consultant assigned to a task in cProjects would capture time and also travel expense corresponding to that task (transport / boarding / lodging) expenses in CATS. Can this be done? Where can I retrieve this data from (table name)?
Accounting integration is not to be done. I am only looking for the manual entry of data from the consultant (resource) to be stored in some table in the system from which I can retrieve the data.

Hi Swayam,
Yes, the time capture can be done without the CO-Integration. If there is no co-integraion, the travel expense to cProjects is not possible, or make no sense.
If you are interested, there are two ways by CATS Integration, with and without co-integration.
Case A: without co integration.
1. Worklist (or timesheet?) in ERP will be generated according the cProject structure and custmoizing settings, which control, at which object can the confirmation done. Such worklist does not have a co object.
2. The user capture the time\efforts using CATS in ERP system.
3. the confirmed time\efforts are transfered back to the cProject system, and write in the involved cProject element.
Case B: with co-integration.
1. Worklist (or timesheet?) in ERP will be generated according
     - the cProject structure and
     - customizing settings, which control, at which object can the confirmation done
     - the assigned co-object of cProject elements.
    The worklist has a co object.
2. The user capture the time\efforts using CATS in ERP system.
3. the confirmed time\efforts are transfered back to the cProject system, and write in the involved cProject element.
4. The (actual) costs are booked at ERP system due to the co-object in worklist.
5. Additionally, the cProject evaluation can read the actual costs from ERP system and display it.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

Calendar that includes mileage and expenses

Ok, first of all sorry for the no response-response. I was trying to type on my phone and talk to my kids at the same time which obviously doesn't work. Here's my question. For some reason my new Vista computer doesn't have Outlook Express on it and I can't get my Curve 8330 to sync with the Yahoo calendar. I am looking for an app that is like a day planner so I can have a calendar and also track mileage and expenses. Thanks for the help.

Very ODD this feature does not exist. Other sites claimed this was an "oversight" by Apple. I tell yah, Apple has the biggest group of wishy-washy users of all time. Cannot belive how many holes there are in in iOS compared to Android. Anyways, I found that I had to download a free app call Reply to All. It does not run native in your calendar and you have to launch it seperately to reply all to an existing calendar event. This has been a feature in Touchdown for Android for years. I'm just shocked that such a commonly used feature does not exist in iOS.

Hello Experts,
I am trying to post tax, code 03, to an expense account instead of the customer account at the time of billing. This is for use tax posting based on the costs of our materials and should be paid by company and not passed to the customer. Currently The percentages will base from the cost of material instead of sale price but this is posting to our tax payable account and to customer account as below:
Dr Customer Account 1.27
       Cr Revenue -1.20
       Cr Use Tax Payable -.07
The desired outcome would be as below:
Dr Customer Account 1.20
     Cr Revenue -1.20
     Cr Use Tax Payable -.07
Dr Use Tax Expense .07
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi
Welcome to SDN Forum
As you want to post to separate Tax payable and expense account ,so maintain a separate account key and assign it to the tax condition type in Pricing procedure .In VKOA assign the G/L accounts to that account key.So you have to take your FI Team members help to get the G/L accounts.and its assignment to the tax code.

Unlocked old iPhone 3GS for use with pay as you go sim in the UK on vacation. O2 sim works while ph plugged in. Unplugged, works short time and crashes. Sometimes won't even re-boot. Software on phone up to date as far as 3GS goes.

I brought an old IPhone 3GS to the UK on vacation for use with sim card. I had the phone unlocked with approval and instructions from ATT. Store in the UK recommended O2 pay as you go sim which works as long as the phone remains plugged into the wall. Once unplugged, it will work for a short time and then always crashes. Sometimes it will re-boot and crash again and sometimes it will not re-boot at all. One store told me to sync with itunes which I did on my Mac Book. I don't know if the sim is defective or if the software of the 3GS is just not compatible with the sim when on the battery. I have updated the software on the phone as far as it will go. Any suggestions? Maybe the phone is too old to use with the latest pay as you go sim cards. I am disappointed that this phone has not been reliable as a pay as you go and I have had to purchase a UK phone here in order to have a reliable phone.

There is nothing you can do. You bought an illegally unlocked phone off Ebay. A lot of sellers there will tell you it is unlocked but the first time you try to update the operating system it will put the lock back on to the carrier the phone was originally locked to. Sorry but unless the carrier it was locked to will unlock the phone I am afraid you have a very expensive paper weight now. You should have bought it from a reputable dealer instead of ebay.

Mobile Time and Travel supporting Device types

Hi Mobile Guru's,
We would like to implement Mobile Time and Travel to our client. Currently they are using the PDA's. I have gone through installation guides of MTT and came to know that MTT is possible only for Laptops. Is my assumption is true? Please let me know. Actually our client wanted to implement MTT to their PDA's which they are currently using. Where can I get information that MTT supports which type of device types? Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
With best regards,
Ameer Baba.

Hi Ameer
The MTT application is supported only on Laptops and doesnt support PDAs and your assumption is absolutely true. More information on this can be obtained in the following link http://service.sap.com/instguides In this link navigate to Installations and Upgrades->Entry by Application Group->SAP xApps
->SAP xApps for Mobile Business->SAP XMTT. Also the following notes will be useful for the latest version of MTT i.e 2.0 which is JSP based rather than MicroITS.

I bought the Tiger woods 12 game for my ipad and also paid the 19.99 for the $2M. It has crashed my ipad a few times and when it restarted last time, it had no history of my progress or the $2M. How do I get my history back

I bought the Tiger woods 12 game for my ipad and also paid the 19.99 for the $2M. It has crashed my ipad a few times and when it restarted last time, it had no history of my progress or the $2M. How do I get my history back or my money back for the game and the in-game expenses?

The only one that can issue a PUK code is a carrier, which you've already made clear you don't have.
If itunes does not recognise your ipad that may be another issue. What version OS is on your computer and what steps did you follow to uninstall itunes and then reiinstall itunes on your computer?
And, do you at least see the sidebar on the left hand side of itunes?
iPad not appearing in iTunes

Do you have another computer you can try?
