Line managers, project leads, and other authorized people use this application to approve or reject multiple employees’ time recording entries from the SAP Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) (SAP (CATS)). This application supports periodic data approval, and it either replaces or enhances the workflow-based process for approving time recording entries. This application is part of the Business Package for MSS Add-On 1.0.

Integration

  • The CATS personal object work list (POWL) application is integrated with the Manager Self-Service (MSS) Inbox and can be accessed using the PFCG Role for the Manager(SAP_MANAGER_MSS_NWBC_2) role.

  • Approvers can access this application in the MSS application under Work Overview and also under Start of the navigation path Home Next navigation step Time Recording Next navigation step Details End of the navigation path.

  • This service is called via object-based navigation using the method approvaldashboard of the business object employee.

Prerequisites

Employees must use SAP (CATS).

Configuration

You have specified the approval process in Customizing under Start of the navigation path Personal Management Next navigation step Manager Self-Service (WDA) Next navigation step Working Time Next navigation step Approve Working Time End of the navigation path.

Features

Approval of Time Recording from Different CATS User Interfaces

Approvers can approve multiple employees’ time recording entries from different CATS user interfaces without implementing the Record Working Time application in Employee Self-Service (ESS).

Acceleration and Simplification of the Approval Process

In Customizing, as system administrator you group time recording data according to collective approval criteria. Approvers can perform group approvals in the Collective Approval tab. For more information, see Customizing for Approve Working Time under Start of the navigation path Personal Management Next navigation step Manager Self-Service (WDA) Next navigation step Working Time End of the navigation path.

Restriction of Time Recording Entries Requiring Approval

Approvers can restrict the number of time recording entries requiring approval by defining particular approval criteria for time recording entries.

For more information, see Special Approval.

Filtering of Results

Approvers using a POWL can filter the results by changing the employee selection under Change Query. They can also change the view, which defines how the data is grouped and displayed in the Collective Approval application.

Approvers using the standalone CATS Approval application can change the employee selection depending on the Customizing settings in Object and Data Provider (OADP). For more information, see Customizing for Approve Working Time under Start of the navigation path Personal Management Next navigation step Manager Self-Service (WDA Next navigation step Working Time End of the navigation path.
