Every user who records data in the time sheet must be assigned the following authorizations:

• A user ID for the SAP System

• Authorizations for the Time Sheet transaction (CATS)

• Authorizations for the personnel numbers to be processed

Employees must have a personnel number in the system before they can record their working times in the time sheet. This applies to both internal and external employees.

You enter the personnel numbers in SAP Human Resources by maintaining infotype records, which are available regardless of whether or not you implement HR.

In HR, you create a personnel number using a personnel action. You use this action to create at least the following two infotypes:

• Organizational Assignment (0001)
• Personal Data (0002).

You should also create a Time Sheet Defaults infotype (0315). You can use this infotype to define default values for employees who enter time sheet data .

You should also create a Planned Working Time infotype (0007). This requires, however, that you implement HR.

If certain users only record their own working times in the time sheet, their personnel number should be linked to their system user name.
