Enhancements to the Cross-Application Time Sheet 

Use

Entering Statistical Key Figures

You can now use the Time Sheet to enter statistical key figures. They are transferred to Controlling , where they can be used for internal allocations and in key figure analysis.

Enhanced Options for Recording Employee Remuneration Information

Previously you could only enter wage types in combination with hours. As of this release, you can also enter amounts and wage types with a number/unit in the time sheet. This means you can supply almost all the fields of the EE Remuneration Info infotype (2010) in Human Resources with time sheet data.

Now your employees can, for example, enter expenses, such as material or travel costs, directly in the time sheet. They are then reimbursed by Payroll.

Additional Order Units for Materials Management (MM-SRV)

The Time Sheet now enables you to confirm purchase orders which use a unit of measurement that is not hours. Other units of measurement are "piece" or "meters", for example.

Modifiable Cell Length

You can set the length of time sheet cells for each data entry profile to suit your requirements.

New Fields in Field Selection

You choose this field if you want to use the data entry profile to enter wage types with amounts.
If the system can determine an internal unit of measurement for a record based on the recorded working time attribute, you can use this field to display the unit of measurement in the time sheet.

These enhancements also apply to the Internet Application Component and when you use BAPIs to supply the Time Sheet with external data.

Enhancements to BAPIs for Supplying the Time Sheet with External Data

As of this release, you can supply the Time Sheet with long texts from external systems. For this purpose, you can use the LONGTEXT parameter in the following methods:
CATimeSheetManager.Change
CATimeSheetManager.Insert
CATimeSheetRecord.GetList.

Effects on Customizing

Modifiable Cell Length

You define the cell length you require for each data entry profile in profile maintenance.

New Fields in Field Selection

To hide the new fields in your existing data entry profiles, use report RCATSFAW_2 (Time Sheet: Hide Fields New for 4.6C).
