CATS time entry and approval - transactions CAT2 and CATS_APPR_LITE

Jase182

Hi gurus!

We have a requirement to import time entries into CATS from an external system. We have a flat file which we need to:

1. Import into transaction CAT2, and

2. Subsequently approve in transaction CATS_APPR_LITE.

Does anyone know the best way to achieve these 2 steps in background (standard BAPIs, functions, etc.)?

thank you!

Jason

Hi Ravii,

Thank you for that - that is excellent. I think it will help with the upload from flat file and posting of time entries in CAT2.

However do you know of how I can approve the time entries in background (step 2) through transaction CATS_APPR_LITE? Any standard BAPIs, function modules, etc.?

I have awarded you points.

thanks

Hi Jason,

You can schedule the program RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES in back ground. In the approval of timesheet tab there is a check box for Automatic approval (customer exit). If we check this box the system calls the APPROVE_CATS_CLASSIC or APPROVE_CATS_SERVICE_PROVIDER methods from the business add-in CATS_REPORTING.

Hope this will help you.
