Working of Individual Timesheet approval view in MSS

can any one tell what happens(how it works) when a manager selects "Reject " from drop down and press the transfer button in Individual timesheet approval view.
problem is : i have sorted the data based on A/A type Text. suppose that the data before sorting is 4,1,4 after sorting the data is 4,4,1. when i select reject for first two entries 4,4(sorted data) and press transfer it will go to collective approval view. then choose review. in this screen it showing the rejected times as 4,1(which is the previous data) rather than 4,4.
the summary is it is taking only previous data eventhough we have sorted it.
any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can select individually and those records which are selected as rejected will be rejected in the final screen
In individual approval you set the status approve, resubmit or reject! These are different statuses we need to use

Long Text Icon in CATS Timesheet Approval View

Hi:
Employee created a timesheet in ESS. He/she also keyed in some long text in the timesheet screen.
When manager goes to the UWL to approve the timesheet, there is no icon to show that there is a long-text attached to the record.
May I know if there is any place we can configure to have this icon showing for the records which have the long-text, in the portal?
We can see the icon in T-Code: "CATS_APPR_LITE - Approve Working Times" in the backend. But I'll need the same icon in the portal.
Please could someone advise me on this?
Thanks....

Hi
Did you try creating a new 'Profile' for Approver's view?
The config steps are defined at IMG>Cross-Apps Components>Time Sheet>CATS regular>Approve Working Times.
Pl do reward if this helps.

Throw a custom error message while doing CATS timesheet approval

Hi,
We are going to implement CATS Timesheet approval using ESS / MSS portal.
Requirement is NOT to allow an approver to approve / reject a timesheet workitem in MSS duing payroll block period ( e.g last week of a month). we need to throw an error message saying 'No approval of timesheet is allowed during payroll block period'.
Will SAP enhancement CATS0006 (EXIT_SAPLCATS_006) be useful for this?
Any other customer exit / Badi will help.
Regards,
Bijay

Hi,
yes you can use the mentioned CATS enhancement to throw the error message.

MSS Approve Working Times - Collective Approval view changes

Hello,
We are implementing EP 7.0, ERP2005 (ECC 6.0) SP07, ESS (MySAP ERP) 1.0.
I have successfully configured the Individual Approval screen and the Detail Screen using SPRO to add and remove columns as per my client's requirements. However, I see no way to configure the Collective Approval view in a similar fashion.
The objective is to have similar columns display in the Time Sheet, the Collective Approval view, and the Individual Approval view.
Thanks in advance.

Message Column in Individual Approval View of Manager- What data is shown??

Hello Guru's,
We have implemented Time Management, and in that Manager can approve the record working times.
In that we have Individual Approval views and in that table we have Message Column.
My question is :
What for we use the Message Column, since in our landscape we don't see any data.
Please help me what data is showed and why is it not populating in our case.
Thanks,
Pramod

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
But what we observed is that message column in both collective approval and individual approval screen are not working the same way.
As you said the message column is used for showing the status or warning message.
But the problem is as said before the message column is in addition.
To be more clear In record working time when an employee records the time in the Day view in the details he/she have option to give some notes. That notes is shown in Individual view but the message column in Manager individual approval screen is blank
In the collective approval screen the message column we are using to show the manager whether he/she entered entered more hours than planned hours.
Any Other inputs are appreciated.
Thanks,
Pramod

Where to find "Define field selection for Individual approval view" in ECC5

Hi,
I'm trying to find where I can configure the columns for the managers approval view in the backend in ECC5.
Time sheet>Setting for all user interfaces>Approval procedure>Approve working times> Define field selection for Individual approval view, doesn't appear to exist.
Any help appreciated.
Rob

Rob,
Try this:
IMG->Integration with Other mySAP.Com Components->Business Packages/Functional Packages->Manager Self-Service (mySAP ERP)->Working Time->Approve Working Time->Define Field Selection from Individual Approval View
Alternatively use SM34 and go to view cluster VC_PT_FIELD_SELECTION and enter the screen area as CTS.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Approval view for working time empty fields 'message' and 'standard time'

Hi experts,
We want to use the SAP-standard program to approve working hours in the Portal. The basic settings are all done, but we still have a problem with some fields.
When we use the SAP-standard approval view SAP_LINE (IMG --> Define approval views) and we go to the portal we see that the fields 'message' and 'standard time' are filled and the hours with a warning are red. When we create an exact copy of view SAP_LINE with the same detailscreen selections, the fields 'message' and 'standard time' are empty and the warning does not turn red.
See the print screen below for an example.
http://img641.imageshack.us/i/printscreenapproveworki.jpg/
Can someone please help me with this?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Bob

Hi,
We have found the place to change this fields.
To change this fields we had to create an enhancement implementation for BADI definition 'HRCATS_APPR_CUST'
Information for this can also be found in the IMG documentation.

Fiori Timesheet Approval

Hi Friends,
In timesheet approval app, is there a possibility where manager can reject timesheet in one go for the entire week, rather than clicking on each line item for rejection.
In one of the project, where business enters time to multiple items according to projects which they are working and the current process followed here is to reject the complete timesheet of entire week, rather than respective day or line item.
Right now, we need to click on individual line for rejection and which client doesn't want and they wanted one time rejection for entire week.
Is it possible to customize the approval screen.
Please advice.
Srikanth
Tags edited by: Michael Appleby

Hi Srikanth,
As per the current design the default is approve and for Rejection you need to click on the entry which you have to reject and select a rejection reason. This was done for faster approvals since rejections is not the most common scenario.
we are in process of coming up with a new design for partially selecting some entries for Rejecetion.
For the time being the only work around would be to create a new view to replace the current view using the extensibility concept.
Best Regards
Pankaj

Timesheet Approval Configuration - Fixed Approval Routing

Hello,
Currently our timesheet configuration is through chain approvals. Team member submits to their manager, manager does approval and sends to me (timesheet manager). I have Fixed Approval Routing unchecked, as I would like for the Manager to be able to select
me as manager to approve. However, after unchecking Fixed Approval Routing, it doesn't seem to pop up for managers to select me as the timesheet manager. They just get the dialogue box to click OK when approving. Is there a configuration I'm missing? I tried
this for every manager by delegating and it seems it just goes directly to their timesheet manager without having a message to send to. Previously, it would work fine, but after a few configuration tweaks it stopped popping up to select timesheet manager.
Johnny Eltawn, Project Server Admin

For Project Server 2013, Try following:
Add yourself in the "Timesheet Managers" list, which can be set under "Server Settings" -> "Timesheet
Managers"
Update Team member and make yourself as "Timesheet
Manager"
thru "Manage User" or thru "Resource Centre."
Update following setting on "Server
Settings" page, in the "Time and Task Management"
section, click "Timesheet Settings and Defaults"
Select the "Fixed Approval Routing" check box.
Under "Task Status Manager Approval", choose "Enabled" if you want managers to be able to approve individual
timesheet lines. You can also choose to "require line approval before timesheet approval."
Hope this will help you.

How do you reorder the pages in a PDF ie back to front (not individually via Page view)

Sorry if this is in the wrong place or if this has been answered elsewhere but I couldn't seem to search "the database"
How do you reorder the pages in a PDF ie back to front (not individually via Page view). The manual solution of course is to scan or import them in the correct order in the first place. However, this did not happen, and we have many PDF's which are 100% in the wrong order. So we would like to press a button and have them in the right order.
Many thanks in advance for your help...

Got it to work. It returned a completely different path of course just to make life interesting and required a FN+OPTION ENTER in order to return the path. I now have the FLATTEN option in the edit menu.
Just trying it checking all the Flatten options except the fields seemed to work on the first pass. I'm going to try and load a copy of the original complete document. I assume that is the proper way to use this at this point since I created the form ***-backwards?
I've used Adobe layout programs since the Aldus days but Acrobat seems to work differently than any other program I've used.
If I understand what you're saying I should:
1. Design the layout of the form leaving spaces for the fields
2. Open Acrobat, import the document
3. Auto-add and correct, or manually add the fields
4. Fix tabbing
5. Add any additional comments or annotations
6. Flatten everything but the fields? (If the fields are flattened I can't fill out the form unless it's supposed to be a printed form only, right?)
Might just have to break down and RTFM. Acrobat is a really different animal.

Project Server No project update after timesheet approval

Hi,
I work with Project Server 2013, I can create and schedule projects, assign ressources, fill
in the timesheet and save it for approval.
I'm using the
Single Entry Mode
When ressources update theire TimeSheet (approved) and I check my project in project web access, I do not see any progress (0% completed)
Does someone know why my project is not updated?
Thanks

Hi Slim,
Note that once the timesheet with SEM activated is submitted, there are 2 approvals: from the status manager (project plan owner) and from the timesheet manager of the resource. The project plan will be updated once the status manager approved the task update
AND published the project plan.
Thus you have to check that the status manager (and not only the timesheet manager) correctly approved the update and also that he published the project plan for MS Project Pro (or eventually from PWA).
If it is still not working, you could check the PWA queue for potential error messages related to the task update approval and/or project publish job.
Please tell us if it helps.
Hope this helps,
