Use of CATS for External Contractors - costing

[Former Member]

Hi I am currently implementing CATS as part of a large implementation. Time writing for internal employees has no issues. But the client would like the external contractors rates to be picked up from the service/purchase orders, rather than maintain multiple activity types rates. We are not implementing full HCM in this phase of the project

Is this possible?

If yes, can anyone please advise how?

many thanks

Siva, external contractors will be set up with a mini master, and book time via the portal CAT2

1. I believe the process would be something like --> contractor enters time in cat2 against an activity.

2. time is transferred to co and pm,..

3. in pm it generates confirmations (?) ...

things you may wan to consider: limit number of activities,...to a handful,.. so you dont have mnay activities.. and yes to answer your question you cannot do it without activities but discuss with the pm consultant on this front.. I am a bit nclear on the rates front eitehr at the activity level or purchase order level again discussing with a pm consultant will help.

cheers

Hi Siobhan,

Try to use activity types from FI/ CO guys and maintain accordingly.

I hope you can check the SD team for various external employee requirement, DIP is the concept to maintain subcontracting and external employees for calculating the costing.

Thanks
