Prerequisites for Time Sheet Users

Use

Required Authorizations

To be able to record data in the time sheet, users must have the following authorizations:

A user ID for the SAP System
Authorizations for the transactions CATS (Time Sheet), CATSXT (CATS for Service Providers), and CATSXT_ADMIN
Authorizations for the personnel numbers to be processed
Authorizations for the task types and task levels that can be used (authorization object P_CATSXT)

For more information on these authorizations, see Assignment of Authorizations for the Time Sheet.

Creating Personnel Numbers

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.

Nota

You can assign one personnel number for several 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 for an employee:

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.

Nota

For more information on maintaining infotypes, see the documentation Personnel Management (PA) under Personnel Administration ® Infotypes.

Linking the System User ID to a Personnel Number

If a user records his or her own working time in the time sheet, their personnel number must be linked to their system user name.
