Prerequisites

  • You use SAP Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS).

  • You have set up the approval service in Customizing. For more information, see Customizing for Cross-Application Components under Start of the navigation path Time Sheet Next navigation step Settings for All User Interfaces Next navigation step Approval Procedure Next navigation step Approve Working Time End of the navigation path .

Features

  • You can use this iView as an alternative to the RCATS*01 reports, ( Time Sheet: Approve Times ) and RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES ( Approve Working Times ), see also Confirming Tasks .

  • You can use this service to approve all time sheet data recorded by employees in the various CATS user interfaces. You therefore do not need to implement the Employee Self-Service application for the time sheet, Record Working Time , to be able to approve data from it in this service.

  • The service is designed to simplify and accelerate approval of recorded working times. In Customizing, you can group data according to collective approval criteria and then carry out a mass approval. You can also approve this data individually.

  • You can restrict the quantity of working times to be approved by defining only particular working times that meet particular criteria as subject to approval. For more information, see Special Approval .
