Transfer of Time Sheet Data to the Target Components

Purpose

You use the time sheetto record data that can be relevant for several SAP components. Some employees, for example, record data confirming a Project System network. Others use the time sheet to enter time data for Personnel Time Management. In some cases, employees record data that is relevant for several target components at once.

You can transfer data to the target components as follows:

  • Using transfer reports

  • In Materials Management: using a transaction

  • In cProjects: using an ALE connection by means of IDocs

The graphic below illustrates the technical processes involved in transferring data to the target components.

Process Flow

  1. The system saves time sheet data to the CATSDB database table for the time sheet.

  2. The system writes time sheet data assigned the processing status "30" ( Approved ) and "60" ( Canceled ) as follows:

    • To the interface tables:

      • PTEX2000 and PTEX2010 in Human Resources

      • CATSCO in Controlling

      • CATSPM in Plant Maintenance/Customer Service

      • CATSPS in Project System

      • CATSMM in Materials Management

    • By ALE connection

      • Interface table in the cProjects system

        The system determines which components are to be supplied in which way based on the data record's working time attributes.

  3. When you run the data transfer reports, the time sheet data is transferred to the target components Human Resources (HR), Controlling (CO), Plant Maintenance/Customer Service (PM/CS), and Project System (PS).

    You can use the following data transfer reports for individual components:

    RPTEXTPT for Human Resources

    RCATSTCO for Controlling

    RCATSTPM for Plant Maintenance/Customer Service

    RCATSTPS for Project System

    To enable you to transfer data to HR, CO, PM/CS, and PS in one step, an additional report for multiple components is available.

    Note that you transfer data to Materials Management using transaction CATM.

Result

You have transferred time sheet data to the target components.
