Confirmation from the Construction Site Using CATS 

Purpose

Determining how many work hours are required and from which cost center is a task for the personnel planning department for the construction site. Exact confirmations from the site for the required working time are of great importance if you wish to plan and execute the project realistically. The CATS time sheet (Cross Application Time Sheet) allows you to enter working time and is a self-service application for internal employees and external agencies.

The work done is then transferred to the Project System. Since an authorization procedure is in force, the confirmation has to be authorized before the transfer.

You can find further information in the SAP Library under Logistics ® Project System ® Confirmation and under Cross-Application Components ® CA Time Sheet.
