BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT without automatic approval?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm using the BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT to import data out of a txt-file into cats.

All data is imported properly. Unfortunately, every timesheet gets the status 30 "approved".

How can I import the timesheets with status 20? (I've already tried using the BAPI parameter Release_data = ' ', but I still get status "30")

Any help on this?

Hi,

You can check the CATSDB table for the processing status

The solution hinted by Kavaolec that worked for me was:

1. Run transaction CAC1 to view the profiles.  Look at the details for the profile. Select a profile that has Approval-With approval procedure radio button selected.  You need the name of that profile.  For me it was "ESS".

2. Before calling BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT

     DEFINE s_profile LIKE bapicats6-profile.

     s_profile = "ESS".

3. When calling BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT

add the clause:

     EXPORTING

             profile = s_profile

When I ran the INSERT it updated CATDB and put in a line with process status 10, which is what I wanted.

When I did not put in the EXPORTING profile, it put in a line with process status 30, which is not what I wanted.

Hope this helps someone.
