Regarding CAT2 T Code.

Former Member — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 15:52:12 GMT

Hi All,

I Have added the Z Fields (Columns) in CAT2. What ever the data i am entering into the CAT2 is getting saved in CATSDB table.

Now i came accorss a scenario that i need to manipulate(Means Updation insertion etc) the CATSDB Table for the Calculated Zfields..

Is BAPIs needed to do that or is there any proecedure please suggest me.

Regards

Subhaskar.

Hi Subhaskar,

If you are going to upload the respective fields using the data from a flat file (excel, notepad etc) then yes you can use a BAPI.

If teh amount of data to be uploaded is not very high and if it is feasible (and if you have the necessary authorizations) you can also use the transaction SE16N to modify the table CATSDB.

Hope it clarifies.

Hi,

To update zfields use BAPI 'BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_CHANGE'

but the problem I suppose is that if you change records that have already been approved, the system cancels the original record and creates a new record. If the records to be changed have not yet been approved, they are simply overwritten.

to create bapi is BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT

The BAPI mentioned by you above BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR* only considers standard fields.

As mentioned a z field needs to be updated. Please try to find some exit or BADI in CAT2 transaction to update your z field.
