Problem in CATS PS.

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

For employee Emp.1 some hours (in the period from 1.3.2007 – 31.3.2007) booked on 2 Networks X and Y, in some of the days he is entered the timesheet in CAT2 for both the Network Activities (where ever he entered on the same date for both the Network Activities) I have found in CATSPS-SPLIT =1

The data is transferred to PS, and the record is presented in the CATSPS table.

The problem occurs because these records aren’t automatically confirmed, and therefore not presented as costs in PS. This means that through CN30 and CN27 the records need to be confirmed.

These records needs to be confirmed, before they will present costs in PS.

Questions

Therefore three questions:

• What is ‘wrong’ with these records that these records aren’t automatically confirmed, the same as all other records?

• How can these records be put on confirmed? and what is the meaning of split number 1 found in CATSPS-SPLIT

Any kind of suggestions r welcome and will be rewarded well.

Thanks in advance,

Harisha

Hi,

When assigning people to PS , SAP automatically creates a split record for each assigned person (making it possible to assign more than1 person to the activity). The same happens when you enter hours for activities in CATS. The first person has split 1, the second 2 and so on. The split you will find in field CATSPS-SPLIT.

CATS timesheet records will be transformed to confirmations when you run CATA or CAT5. This is standard procedure. It could be that you use an entry profile that enables the approval of hours. Before transferring the hours you have to approve them first by using transaction CAPP.

Hai Harisha

The first step of data which u entered in the Timesheet using CAT2(recording the working time ) to different network activities is right which is nothing but Planned cost for Planned hours.

This Planned cost for Planned hours to be transfered using CAT9 to get Planned cost for Actual hours which to Calculate the Actual cost using CO(controlling).

Before entering the Time entry - is the activities been assigned with Workcenter? In this Workcenter - Is the Costing Tab (Link to Cost center /Activities) - Is the Cost Center been mentioned , ActType Int.Processing(Key identifying the activity type used in other types of internal processing in costing for example, in networks) and Formula to Calculate the costing.

Unless these three fields(cost center,Act type Int P and Formula) are entered -cost cannot be seen.

CN25(individual) and CN27(overall) are for the Activities - confirmation where the Planned work is Confimed (means actual work ) Manually.

Award points if helpful
