There are various user parameters for the Time Sheet, which you can implement to simplify data entry for the user.

Features
User Parameters for when the Time Sheet is Called
If you implement this user parameter, the system automatically enters the data entry profile you require in the initial screen. If necessary, you can overwrite this default value.
You would implement this user parameter for users who mainly work with one data entry profile.
If you implement this user parameter, the system automatically enters the personnel number you require in the initial screen. If necessary, you can overwrite this default value.
You would implement this user parameter for users who only enter their own data in the time sheet and, therefore, only ever call their own personnel number.
As an alternative to implementing the user parameter PER, you can maintain the user assignment in the Communication infotype (0105), subtype System user name (SY-UNAME) (0001). In the initial screen of the time sheet, the system calls the personnel number assigned to the user currently logged on to the SAP System.
If, when maintaining your profiles, you specified that the system skips the initial screen when you call the time sheet, you must maintain either the user parameters CVR and PER, or the user parameter CVR in combination with subtype 0001 of the Communication infotype (0105).
The data entry screen for the specified profile and personnel number then appears immediately when the user calls the time sheet. The user can choose Goto -> Initial screen data to branch from the data entry screen to the initial screen, where he or she can change the data entry profile or personnel number, if necessary.
User parameters for list entry
If you want to use list entry to enter data in the time sheet, you must implement user parameters to determine which personnel numbers may be selected.
You must have set up list entry for the relevant data entry profile. To determine which criteria the system should use to select the list of personnel numbers, complete the Person selection section when you maintain your profile. You can choose between Time administrator, Organizational unit, or Cost center for selection. Alternatively, you can run a personnel number selection report.
For the system to select according to your criteria, you must enter the relevant user parameters containing the values you require.
If you want to select according to cost center, you must enter the parameters CAC (Controlling area) and KOS (Cost center).
When you call the data entry view for the time sheet, the system lists all personnel numbers assigned to the relevant cost center.
If you want to select according to organizational unit, you must enter the parameter PON.
When you call the data entry view for the time sheet, the system lists all personnel numbers assigned to the relevant organizational unit.
If you want to select according to time administrator, you must enter the parameters SAZ (Time administrator) and SGR (Administrator group).
When you call the data entry view for the time sheet, the system lists all personnel numbers assigned to the relevant time administrator.
If you want to use a selection report to select your list of personnel numbers, you can create a variant for this report. This procedure has the advantage that you do not need to enter your selection criteria every time you call the report.
Instead, you can enter the user parameter VSR along with the variant you created. When you call list entry in the time sheet, the selection report automatically selects the personnel numbers according to your variant.
Activities
Choose System -> User profile -> Own data -> Parameters to enter user parameters.
You want to select the personnel numbers assigned to cost center 999 in controlling area 0001 every time you use list entry.
Choose System -> User profile -> Own data -> Parameters and enter the user parameters KOS with the value 999 and CAC with the value 0001. Now when you use list entry in the time sheet, the personnel numbers assigned to cost center 999 and controlling area 0001 appear automatically.
