Travel Expenses (CATS) - cProjects 4.0

Question

Once an internal order is created, the resource(s) assigned to the task(s) can capture effort in CATS which, after approval, flow back to cProjects and get populated with the 'Confirmed' field of the Additional Data tab (for tasks).
The resource would also capture 'Travel Costs' in CATS - for eg. airfare, other expenses etc. Once approved, where would these costs (expenses) be seen in cProjects front end?
Thanks and Regards...

Answer 1

Consider this scenario:
SAP HR system - separate box
SAP cProjects - separate box
Please create your employees in SAP HR system using tcode pa40.
Go to transaction bd64; create a model view and add message type HRMD_ABA;
Add a BAPI --- Under this add Obj, name/interface - TimesheetCPRconnect
& Method - Transfer CPR;
Generate partner profile - Here select the cProjects system
Go to edit - Distribute the model
Now in the SAP HR system, use transaction PFAL, to transfer the resources to the cProject system; There are certain BADIs that need to be active for this transaction to work; Once the iDOCs get generated, the HR resources are converted to Business partners in the cProject systems.
In the cProject system, create a project, task and assign the tasks to any resource that you have just transferred from the HR system. Release the task.
In the HR system, use transaction cat2, select the appropriate HR profile and the personnel for which you want to confirm the task. In this case, the person to whom the task has been allocated in the cProjects system. In the time sheet, enter the time and save.
Run the program DPR_CATS_CPR_TRANSF, to transfer the time to the cProjects front end.
