Hello,

CATS is a cross-application tool used to record individual persons' working times and other data in a central worksheet.

You can use data entry profiles to format the layout per your needs.

Also, the working times can be relevant for other components as well.

You can use CATS to record times for, and transfer to the following target components:

- Controlling (CO): Internal activity allocation, statistical key figures

- HCM/HR: Attendances, absences, remuneration info

- External Servces (MM-SRV): Entry of services performed for external services

- Plant Maintenance (PM), Customer Services (CS), and Project System (PS): confirmation for orders or networks.

Important Transactions:

CAC1 Maintain Profiles

CAC2 Field Selection

CAT2 Maintain Times

CAT3 Display Times

CADO Display Data (old transaction)

CATS_DA Display Working Times (new one)

CAT8 Document Display

CATC Time Leveling

CAT4 Approve Data (old transaction)

CAPP Object-Related Approval (old transaction)

CAPS Approve Times: Master Data (old transaction)

CATS_APPR_LITE Approve Working Times (new one)

CATSWF CATS Workflow

CAT5 Transfer to PS

CAT6 Transfer to Time Management

CAT7 Transfer to CO

CAT9 Transfer to PM/CS

CATA Transfer to Target Components

CATR Reorganize Interface Tables

CATSXT CATS for Service Providers

CATSXT_ADMIN CATS for Service Providers (Admin.)

CATSXT_DA Display Work Time and Tasks

Tables:

CATSDB - not buffered table

PTEX2000 - contains approved records used to be transferred to HR

CATSCO - same for CO

CATSPS - same for PS

Most important User exits:

CATS0002 - supplement recorded data (internal table ENRICH_TABLE)

CATS0005 - customer fields (include CI_CATSDB)

CATS0003 / CATS0006 - validate single entries / the whole timesheet

CATS0009 / CATS0010 - descriptions in the data entry section / worklist

BAdI: CATS_REPORTING for CATS_DA, CATS_APPR_LITE

I hope this clarifies.

Regards,

Bentow.

CADO Display Data (old transaction)

CATS_DA Display Working Times (new one)

Why should start to use CATS_DA instead of CADO? It means updating end user documentation and so on..

Is there a possibility to validate CO data already with in transaktion CAT2? ... before transaction CAT7 or CATA.

Thanks.
