Standard Task TS31000007: CATS Approval by Supervisor

Use

You can use this standard task to execute the SAP Business Workflow to approve data entered in the Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS).

You can use this standard task for the following cases:

  • You want working times to be approved by the employees’ line manager. You must have set up the organizational plan. In the standard system, the rule 00000157 ( Superior (chief position) ) is used to determine the recipient.

  • You want particular working times to be approved by employees other than the line manager. All other working times are still to be sent to the line manager for approval.

    For working times that you do not want to be approved by the line manager, you use the BADI_CATS_APPROVAL Business Add-In to determine the recipient.

    Note Note

    For more information, see Approval Based on Recorded Working Time Attributes .

    End of the note.

    For working times for which the BAdI was unable to determine a recipient, the system processes the workflow recipient determination function, that is, the working times are sent to the line manager for approval.

Prerequisites

For this task to be processed, you must have selected the With Auto. Determination of Recipient field in the data entry profile.
