How to delete work List entry in timesheet Management in CAT2 transaction code?

Swapnil Kharul

Hi Sir,
Just replied on:
Re: Worklist in CAT2 Timesheet
Hi Swapnil,
User-exit CATS0001 can do that, so that you can review the worklist before showing to the user.
There, you can input your own validations so that, for e.g. you want to remove a couple of items for a particular user from a particular PA.
I could not find a code example to give to you, but start from the references on page:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/User-exitsinCATS
It will give you a glance on how to implement (based on the code from the other user exits.)
Kind Regards,

Time Based Workflow - how to make it work?

Hello,
Has anyone successfully built a Time Based Workflow? Could you share your examples?
For me it does not work properly.
I have tried to set up 2 workflows: on Opportunity Close Date and Account Contract Expiration Date.
- Account Contract Expiration Date: I want an Account Owner to get an email notification exactly 6 months before the contract with his client expires. However - the email is triggered each time the record is modified - so I have seen in the workflow monitor that users on the date of contract expiration - 180 days will receive as many emails as many times they modified the record! Is there a way to avoid this situation?
- Opportunity Close Date - I want to send an email to Opportunity Owner's Manager - 10 days after the opportunity was closed. However - there will be the same issue as above + the wait action is not working with a PRE function.
Please let me know what you think and if you have already built a Time Based Workflow that works correctly.
Edited by: MagdaR on May 18, 2010 1:57 AM

Let's start with the workflow for Opty Close Date.
There are a lot of ways to do this, so you'll need to evaluate which way is best for your case, but the basics are to check to ensure that the opty is closed for the first time, then set the flag. In order to accomodate for the opty being closed when it is created, you will have to consider a post default for the flag in addition to the workflow.
In this case, you could create a workflow on Opty using the before modified record saved trigger event. In the Rule Condition, have the workflow check for a closed opty and if the status changed to closed during this modification. There are a number of options to validate this, including sales stage = Closed/Won or Lost, Closed Date is populated for the first time, Status is closed. In any case, just validate that the opty was closed for the first time using the PRE Function (i.e., PRE(Closed Date) is null and PRE(Closed Date)<>Closed Date). When your condition is met, set a flag that will trigger the event. You could also add a date that the wf conditions were met the first time, to ensure that you track when the rule was originally triggered.
The next step is to have a workflow that unsets the flag if the conditions are not met. Set the order on this one to follow the rule above.
The last rule is the wait/email rule and it uses the when modified record saved event. This rule triggers on the flag being checked, then waits to send the email.
Test this and validate that it will work for your purposes. Based on this workflow, you should be able to create the other one, and I can help if you have any issues.
Good Luck,
Thom

Create a Time Management Custom Function in PE04

Hi Experts
Pls give the steps to create a custom function in Time Management using PE04,
whta is purpose of using infotype in PE04 , what are the input parametr and output paramaete . What are the intrnal table available in custom function . How we can test the custom function .
Thansk and regards
Renjith MP

No idea on how to set.
But in our case, we have a requirement for calculation of GOSI for our Bahrani Employees. Hence did the same using by creating a FUNCTION ZGOSI.
We have not given any input or output parameters.
Used a Z program for payroll driver RPCALCX0 -- ZSH_GOSI_CALC and the calculations are taken from this program and output is displayed in the RT table- Wage types.
For more information, check with functions of infotype like P0014, P0015, you will get some idea on the same.
Before giving the above, need to mention the parameter list for control.
Mostly the input parameters are given as Objects like in our Payroll Process, there is WPBP table and output parameters the results to be displayed using object RT.
Analyze more on the same and you will come to know.
Good luck.

HR-PDC , Time Management Interface Question

Hi,
I am involved in a project that links Kronos Time Management system with SAP 4.6C . Since Kronos is certified for standard interface HR-PDC, we can use it for integration without patch-work.
For more information, go to <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/developerareas/sdnservices/icc">this link</a> and on the right hand side, select Human Resources from Integration Scenarios -> Business Application Integration. Select HR-PDC from the list of interfaces available for HR.
There are a few concerns though, the most important being related to transfer of HR mini-master data. It is mentioned in the interface documentation that SAP always sends complete master data for all employees and that deltas are not supported.
Now, the customer has around 50,000 employees and sending data for each one of them every night doesn't seem to be a workable solution, especially when only 30-50 records change in a day. I understand that sending deltas can be accomplished through some tweaking, I am wondering why the standard interface won't support them, knowing the fact that all historical (delta) information is available from cluster PCL4.
Although I understand that SAP themselves are in a better position to answer the question of why the interface is like that, I am asking if anyone experienced any short-comings with sending delta information. For example, perhaps the number of scenarios for which delta was to be transferred were too many and sending complete information was more suitable. So if anyone has had previous experience of working on HR-PDC, please shed some light on their experience.
Secondly, is there a standard interface to record and send changes in Organization and Staffing (create, modifiy, delete) to a sub-system? I am talking in relation to t. code PPOME. Is HR-OCI the right interface for that???
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. It was quite helpful.
It is fine to download time balances but downloading whole employee (mini)master data each day is a bit difficult to explain to stakeholders. Perhaps I may need to create my own driver program that populates data for modified employees only. Thoughts??? Is this the correct approach???
As far as the second one is concerned, I am interested in downloading new/modified OM records like departments, jobs, positions, etc. It seems the same can be catered for by using HR-PDC through business object RCVPEVTREC, method receivePObject. I perhaps overlooked the interface specs.
Thanks again and I may get back with more questions.
Regards

Hi
In time related infotypes records are multiple for a single pernr

within a time for PERNR you will find different types of leaves
go and see the infotypes data practically PA2001 and PA2005, r etc

Positive & Negative Time Management

Dear Seniors,
What is positive & negative time management? Which time management status do we use for these?
What r time pairs & where can these be configured?
Thx & Regards
WARNED-> No more basic questions please.

Hi,
Positive time is plays the total role of workflow. All the processes related to time are automatically gets executed in the background. E.g., in our case it is done only partially to validate the attendance as per punches and other documents with shift timing and generate absence automatically in case of any discrepancy.
.Negative Time (-ve Time) ? Where the all time related activities like validation of the attendance, posting of absence for wage deduction etc are done manually. It has less level of integration among the different components of time management.
Positive Time Management we have two types of recordings:
1. With Clock times - Complete time recording is captured
2. With out Clock times - Only Number of hourse worked is captured
Negative time Management:
1. No clock times and assumed employee is working unless and until his or her absences are entered.
Regards,
Tarun

Time manager workplace

Hi all,
An interesting question for the SAP guru's!
In Time Manager Workplace (trx PTMW) the user has to select the employees he wants to see in the time data area. Everytime he selects another date in the calendar he has to refresh or reload that list and again select the users he wants to see in the time data area.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
It would be really nice if everytime the user selects another date in the calendar that the employee selection is updated and that the updated employee list is also loaded in the time data window (pe multiple employee view)
Any usefull suggestions will be rewarded
Kind regards,
Jonathan

I got ur problem alright...I am sorry I probably have no answer to that...May be something to with the USER ID and the Transactions that it has...or may be u can check the following:But I am not sure of this either..
Summary
Symptom
In the Time Manager's Workplace, users can choose the .Temporarily insert employees menu option to call up a dialog box and enter a personnel number directly. The personnel number is then added to the employee list included - regardless of whether it is already in the list.
If administrators use this function frequently, they may want to be able to use it more quickly. The disadvantage of the current approach of having the function in a menu button in the employee list is that the function cannot be accessed using a keyboard shortcut.
Two alternative approaches are conceivable:
1. An input field for the personnel number, or
2. A button in the menu or in the GUI status with corresponding keyboard shortcut.
The disadvantage of the first solution is that users must confirm their entries for the system to update data in the data entry area. There is therefore a risk that the personnel number entered does not correspond to the data displayed if the user has forgotten to confirm entry of the personnel number and the user could then enter data for the wrong employee. For this reason, the second, modal approach is favored.
This note describes how to add an entry to the MEN screen area of the Time Manager's Workplace for calling up the employee dialog box. The new functionality is therefore fully customizable. The new functionality is inactive and you must make it accessible to users by maintaining the field selections of the MEN screen area.
Additional key words
TMW, employee selection
Cause and prerequisites
Usability improvement
Solution
Call up transaction SE80 and edit the functional group PT_GUI_SAP_TMW.
In the GUI status CT_FACILITIES, add a new entry in the .Utilities context menu. Enter SELECT_EMP as the function code, .Temporarily insert employees as the function text and info text, ICON_EMPLOYEE as the icon name, and .I for the fastpath.
Add the SELECT_EMP entry to the GUI status CT_FIELD_SELECTION also.
In the GUI statuses PLAN and WORKLIST, add the SELECT_EMP entry to the Utilities menu bar. Afterwards, add the function to the application toolbar of both statuses. Finally, add the SELECT_EMP function to the UMSCH-F9 function key.
Make the changes documented in the 'Source code corrections' section to the program objects and generate the changes.
Source code corrections
As you can see it is a copy from a SAP note...hope this helps...

Color management workflow for beginners..

I am making a movie. I have several hundred clips, shot over a period of almost 5 months. Indoors, outdoors, morning, afternoon, mid day etc. I have gained experience with my Panasonic HMC 151 over the months, and during this time used a variety of settings. I will also use still photos, and use some computer generated graphics made in Daz3D Carrara. All in all - I have a lot of material which look very different.
When layering my clips in After Effects, I want to do it right, and not paint myself into a corner.
When compiling my scenes (compositions) I also want to do it "right".
Most important to me is to get a coherent look and feel. This is the main priority. Later I might wish to change the overall color if I find out I want my movie to look more like a movie than a "video show". For example, I have shot some scenes late in May at noon, ans some scenes in the afternoon in September, and they belong to the same dialog where people talk to each others.
The target media is DVD for home TVs.
Any links to workflows and step-by-step guides (video tutors) on basic approaches on how to avoid the big mistakes is very much appreciated!

ingvarai:
Color Management in indeed an important aspect, but from your description, it seems that you should be concerned with "color correction" first.
Color Management is about getting reliable and predictable color rendition. It's not really about defining the "look" of your project. If your shots are not properly exposed, for example, Color Management will only make it more reliable to assure they're not properly exposed. Color correction is all about fixing those problems, or stylizing the overall look. If two takes don't intercut well, for example, then you have to correct color balance, exposure, so one matches the other.
After Effects includes a ton of effects which can be used for color correction, including Levels, Curves, Hue/Satuarion, etc. And it also includes a streamlined color correction plug-in called Color Finesse. I think the Color Finesse documentation is a good starting point, regardless of what you end up using. If you go to the folder in which After Effects is installed, and look into the "Effects" folder, you should see a folder called Synthetic Aperture. The Color Finesse manual should be inside that folder.
Also, After Effects Help has a section on Color correction and adjustments. It includes a number of links to other resources.
Mark Christiansen's book After Effects CS4 Visual Effects and Compositing Studio Techniques is very recommended.
As for the Color Management workflow, there's a specific white paper on the Adobe web site on this very subject, but I am not sure that's a good starting point. Instead, I think the AE help page on Color Management is better to get your feet wet, and then go through the white paper. Again, there are several links to other resources in the AE Help page about Color Management.
