CATS is a cross-application tool used to record individual persons' working times and other data in a central

worksheet.

You can use data entry profiles to format the layout per your needs.

Also, the working times can be relevant for other components as well.

You can use CATS to record times for, and transfer to the following target components:
- Controlling (CO): Internal activity allocation, statistical key figures
- HCM/HR: Attendances, absences, remuneration info
- External Servces (MM-SRV): Entry of services performed for external services
- Plant Maintenance (PM), Customer Services (CS), and Project System (PS): confirmation for orders or
networks.

Variable view
You can use the variable view to obtain an overview of all the data with a particular
processing status.
You want to display all data that has been approved.

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.

VSR Personnel number selection report variant X

CVR - Data entry profile


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.
_ PER - Personnel number
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 (SYUNAME)
(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.

Enhancement CATS0005 is used to add fields to the CATSDB structure.


Enhancement CATS0002 is used to populate the Customer Name and Project/Product fields on the
time sheet entry screen. It also performs validation of the data entered into the Project Code field.
