All User Interfaces Approval Procedure Approve Working Time .

Features

You can use this service as follows:

 As an alternative to the RCATS*01 reports, (Time Sheet: Approve Times) and RCATS_APPROVE_ACTIVITIES
(Approve Working Times). This means that you can provide the approvers in your enterprise with an application
that is incorporated in a manager portal such as Manager Self-Service or Project Self-Service.

Note

For more information, see the Business Package for Manager Self-Service and Confirming Tasks.

 To approve all time sheet data recorded by employees in the various CATS user interfaces. You do not need to
implement the Employee Self-Service application for the Record Working Time time sheet to be able to approve
data from it in this service.

 To simplify and accelerate the approval of recorded working times. In Customizing, you can group data according
to collective approval criteria and then carry out a mass approval. You can also approve this data individually.

 To restrict the quantity of working times to be approved, by defining working times that meet particular criteria as
subject to approval. For more information, see Special Approval.

 You can choose from multiple employee sets in different ways, depending on how you use the application:

o If you use a personal object worklist (POWL), in the manager’s home page select the Working Time
Approval query and select Change Worklist. In the dialog box, the user can select Employee Selection
from the dropdown list to change the employee set.

o If you use the standalone CATS Approval application, the user can change the employee selection from
the dropdown list, depending on the Customizing settings in Object and Data Provider (OADP).

You can change the settings for OADP in Customizing under Integration with Other mySAP.com
Components Business Packages / Functional Packages Manager Self-Service (mySAP ERP) Object
