clock-in clock-out entry in ESS possible ?

[Former Member]

hi there,

i am a little bit confused: my customer wants to enter time events for clock-in and clock-out in ESS. I can't find anything where this is possible.

When i implement cats in ESS it is not possible to enter clock-in and clock-out events.

what i have to do to let the users enter clock-in and clock-out time events ? the documentation is always talking about 'external time recording terminals'. i don't want that, i want to do it directly in ESS.

Any ideas ?

Hello Martin,

Yes this is perfectly possible in ESS with the Clock-in/out corrections application. I don't know on what version you're working but from ehp5 on, this is a Web Dynpro ABAP application. Refer to the following link for the documentation: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/3d/3dfe8a80a9468cb06b4947a1b9d793/content.htm?framese...

On prior versions you have a Web Dynpro Java version of the same application (check out the documentation of your ERP version on the help.sap.com).

Have fun,

Hello Julien,

we are on EHP0.....very old

the documentation says "Employees should continue to use the time recording terminal to record working times"

So that means that the correction application is only for corrections, right ? and not for complete replacing the terminals ?

second problem is: also the normal cats (with absence types, ........) should be used. so there will be a mix of 2 application.

yes, usually application is called Clock in clock out corrections (CICO) and its available from ECC 600, so you should have it

usually customers uses both ie terminal and the times are available in this application as it reads Teven ie 2011 Infotype, and they can chose to correct the entries

if you dont want to use, you can directly use ESS application ie CICO. So it depends on how you want to use it, you can create new entries too in this application

Yes CATS is for attendance and absence

So you ll have two applications.

But if you only want to capture times you can use cats too, it has clock tiems available in daily view

For CICO customisaiton read in PTCOR transaction and above links

Hello,

As Siddharth said, you can also create entries with this application, even if the primary purpose is to allow corrections of the recorded clock-in/outs.

There's no problem to use CATS also if you want. Both applications can be used for different purposes (CATS to record the working time on projects/tasks and clock-in/out to keep track of the in and outs).
