Time recording in ChaRM scenario

Hi
Is there any possibility for time recording in standard ChaRM scenario?
Regards
Andreas

HIi,
Did you manage to use time recording for Changes as well?
At my site, Time Recording is working for Service Desk messages, but for Changes, the action Time Recording Call is not working.
Kind regards,

How can we change the field confirmed work of SAP PPM from edit to not edit mode ? I need it into non edit mode for time recording with ChaRM

Hello everyone,
Do someone meet this issue ? Do you know if it has a link with customization of ppm or customization of ITSM ?
Many thanks in advance for your replies !

It seems that I've solved this issue. To get it work:
1. Select checkbox Time Recording and Travel Expenses via CATS for project type. Path: SPRO —> SAP Customizing Implementation Guide —> SAP Portfolio and Project Management —> Project Management —> Structure => Define Project Types
2. Run/schedule a synchronization with the report DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANSF (Transfer of CATS Itemizations to Project Management Application).

Real time idoc to file scenario - URGENT!

Hi all,
I have a real time idoc to file scenario with the idoc structure as below:
WP_PLU03
   IDOC
     Begin
     EDI_DC40
     E1WPA01
        E1WPA02
Now as can be seen, EDI_DC40 is the header record common for the eniter idoc. But the segment E1WPA01 will repeat for each item sent from R/3. E1WPA01 in turn has many segments within it whcih corresponds to that one item.
Now the problem i am facing is, I did the mapping for all required fields from E1WPA01 to my file structure and it works fine if i send one 1 instance of E1WPA01. But when i send multiple instance of E1WPA01 for each item, my result in teh file should be 1 line of record for each E1WPA01. But this doesnt happen. It takes allE1WPA01 as 1 and gives only one record in the file.
How can this be overcome? this is a very common requirments? did i miss anything in the configuration?
Thnaks,
Yash

Hi Matias,
I have two instances (may be much more than 2) of the same segment in the idoc (E1WPA01) and each instance should create a new root in the target message structure as in the link below
Link: [http://img299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=image3ct6.png]
I have mapped the segment E1WPA01 with the root like this:
Link: [http://img176.imageshack.us/my.php?image=image2of6.png]
Hence it creates 1 root for each segment. But for complex mappings such as:
Link: [http://img337.imageshack.us/my.php?image=image1yu1.png]
the 2 input parameter to the UDF - KONDART and KONDWERT - the queue can be seen. the problem which i m facing here is in this queue, values from both the instnace of the segment E1WPA01 is taken together where each instance should be processed seperately. The first 4 values in the top queue(till VKP0) belongs to the filed KONDART of the 1st isntance of the segment and the 1st 4 values of the below queue (till 17) belongs to the field KONDWERT. Similarly the remaining belogns to the other segment. My logic in UDF is built taking only one instance at a time. Is there anyway i can distinguish between the two instance within my UDF?
I hope u understand my problem here.
Thanks,
Yash

How can we integrate CATS & PPM and to retrieve CATS time recording data in PPM ?

Dear experts,
Following the previous question of Ruxandra Petrina called "record times with CATS", I am facing an issue with the report DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANSF : it shows nothing despite I activated PPM accounting integration.
There are the steps I followed, I really don't understand what is missing. In PPM I can transfer and assign my projects to WBS elements automatically or manually.
1. We allowed time confirmation for projects
2. We replicated personal number as business partners
3. We activated worklists and project assignments @ data entry profiles
4. We set up ALE & RFC connections
5. We activated the integration scenarios on WBS element : automatic and manual creation of WBS element assigned to PPM elements. Then we set up data profiles for time recording in cat2.
6. We enter times, we released it (approval is not required) + saving
7; We launch the program in SE38 of both ERP or SOLMAN systems : NOTHING appears.
Our goal is to see the times recorded in CATS in the Confirmed work field of PPM.
Can you please help me out with this issue ?
Many thanks in advance.
Best,
Cassoké

Hi Cassoke,
If tasks assigned to a user is not listed in CAT2 worklist, then first we need to ensure that the tasks are displayed in the worklist. So the user confirm the times for the tasks using this list and after that only we should be running the report 'DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANF' to transfer the actual times entered by user in CAT2 to PPM project task.
To integrate CATS with PPM, you need to follow these steps.
Customisations:
1) Enable 'Time recording' for tasks & 'Account integration' in project type
2) Customisation related to 'Accounting integration' to be carried out (either single object / Hierarchical controlling, for testing better to use single object - Internal order, since it is easier)
3) Create a time sheet data entry profile
(Refer thread Record working times with CATS for details)
4) Ensure all object links(internal order / WBS) RFC destinations are updated correctly.
Master data:
Business partners creation with BUP003-Employee role & link to HR personnel number
(This is not required if HR integration is activated, since the system creates the BP's automatically. But manually we need to validate the BP's for linkage with few users)
Project:
1) Create project using customised project type (where time recording/accounting integration is enabled)
2) Structure the project with phase/tasks
3) Update duration/work etc., to the tasks
3) Create project roles & staff a resource (BP which is validated for HR personnel number linkage).
4) Assign task to project role with resource in Project role-->task tab
6) Release the project definition and also check for phase/tasks release
7) Change the status of project definition to 'Flag for transfer' (Can be done before project release also)
8) Check whether the internal order / PS project with WBS is created in ERP system(Based on customisation) and linked to project. Check can be made in accounting tab of the project. (If it is not created, then check for object link RFC destination correctness)
In case of automatic internal order creation process, you need to enter the org unit. data in project definition-->additional data of the project.
CATS:
After completing all the steps, the task assigned to the user will appear in the CAT2 transaction.
1) User can confirm the task with actual hours.
2) Run the CATS transfer report mentioned above to update the data in PPM project.
About SOLMAN integration, you can refer to this presentation also.

Late Arrival with +tive Time Recording

Hi,
I need a solution for this scenario. I have Positive time recording and i want to apply the following rules on monthly basis.
apply the following rules (within a month)
1st Time Lateness beyond 30 minutes ==> 1 hour deduction
2nd Time Lateness beyond 30 minutes ==> 2 hours deduction
3rd time (and thereafter) Lateness beyond 30 minutes ==> 4 hours deduction
deductions cannot exceed 5 days a month
after that, set the employee on error, so that action from the time administrator will be required.
I need solution for this scenario and need help for write a PCR.
Thanks in advance.

To transfer time events from external time recording system to sap r/3

hi all,
I have a task to make an interface program between external time recording and sap r/3, and then to transfer the time events from that external system to sap system with the help of an rfc, i have got some information like the data first has to be transferred to the table CC1TEV and then from this table the data will be uploaded to 2011 infotype with the help of a standard program, but i am unable to find a solution for making the interface program and the RFC or BAPI which will transfer the records from external system.
if anybody has any information on this plz help me out to solve this problem.

Which recorgding terminals using to capture time events? They should have give some guidelines about this?

ChaRM Scenario: Workbench and Customizing CR in the same Change Document

We use the ChaRM scenario of Solution Manager 3.2 to manage the transport request for the R/3 landscape.
We have two different project with two different landscape:
- the first one is used for customizing purpose ED1/010 - EQ1/010 - EP1/010
- the second one is for workbench purpose ED1/011 - EQ1/010 - EP1/010
We usually assign a Change Request each Change Document.
Assigning the Change Document to a maintenance cycle (owned by a SolMan Project) to assigne the CD/CR to the right source client.
Sometime we need to create a Change Document that contains two CR one for customizing purpose the other one for workbench purpose.
Is this possible using ChaRM standard features ?
Regards,
Giampaolo

Hi Martin,
Solmaniacs' assumptions are correct. You can have as many source clients as you want.
As long as
- STMS configuration (transport routes, and domain links) are consistent
- SMSY configuration (logical components are declared properly with assigning the right role types to systems/clients)
- Project declaration are done correctly (so that from Solman solar_project_admin you can read the STMS as confiured in the distant STMS domain)
- IMPORTANT: those configuration GO ALONG with each other !! (SMSY should nt contradict STMS for example...)
The tasklist that is generated for each Solman project will be as follow
- Node 1: Header Tasks (commun to all systems)
- Node x: Corresponding to track x declared in Project (each Source System will have his own node with the corresponding track under)
- Node x+1
- Node ...
- Last Node : Tasks for Tasklist closure - checks on scma consistancy and CTS projects closure
So you'll always have n+2 nodes in your tasklist; n beeing the number of declared source (=dev) systems in project
For each action launched from change docuemnts like creation of TR, release of TR or Retrofit (as Solmaniac said) you'll have an additional pop-up that will appears letting you choose the system you want to use for the action
Hope its helpful

File to RFC with multiple records using BPM Scenario Error...!!!

Hello Guru's,
I have done the File to RFC with multiple records using BPM scenario as per the Materiel available in the sdn.sap. This involves BAPI (BAPI_MATERIEL_AVAILABILITY). I have done exactly the same what is their in the materiel. SXI_CACHE is also giving return value " 0 ". File is getting deleted from the source directory, but no file in target directory. SXMB_MONI is also showing no error (black Flag). BPM is also error free. Checked the interfaces also.
Can any one tell me what mistake would i have done.
Thanks in advance.

Hi chembo,
I'm not sure if I've misunderstood your answer but currently I'm not writing the time with am/pm anyway, its purely HH:MMS.MS and the data is there in Excel, it's just formatted the cell in an alternative way to what I would like.
Cheers again
Mitch
I was thinking about something like the snipped added below. My version is very simple, but I think that it shows how it can be done. You need to have Excel on your machine. (Disclaimer: This is my very first use of the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW, so maybe there is a better way to do it)
I made the VI labels visible, so that you know what function was used, if the Toolkit is not included in your LabVIEW license. The same thing can be done with ActiveX automation. If you are not familiar with it, there are a lot of examples in the forums about generating Excel files via ActiveX.

Do you know a solution for this issue? Thanks!
Claudio

This application uses the below FM's in ecc, check it once is it getting for all employees.
CATS_READ_CATSDB
CATS_GET_TARGET_HOURS
And also check the OADP configurations for view MSS_LCA_EE1
This view retrieves the time recording details for the direct reports and all employees.

Which backend-system permissions are neccessary for time recording via ESS

Hello,
I'd like to to time recording via ESS and would like to know which permissions/rights a user needs in the portal and the above all of them in the backend system.
Is it neccessary that the User in the backend system is a user of user type Dialog or could this also be an user with another user type?
Thx, Vanessa

Please make sure that the User has ESS authorisation
he needs to have the authorisation like recording times, Normal cats authorisation, please check help.sap.com for which infotypes to be necessary Like 316 etc
You need to maintain the CVR parameter for the profile being
used.
