In this activity, you define the type of information that is to be provided to approvers in the Approve Working Times Web application. You specify the fields that best support the approvers in their tasks and define the criteria that are most suited to a collective approval of working times. You can have two columns with additional information displayed to enable a comparison of the recorded working times with data already recorded or planned data.

You can assign multiple approver views to one approver, which means that he or she can view the data from various points of view as required.

  • You use the Approve Working Times Web application.
  • You have read the conceptual information and detailed information in the SAP Library. For more information, see the CATS documentation in the SAP Library: Approve Working Times.
  • You can copy one of the following standard approval views and adjust it to suit your requirements:
  • SAP_LINE: Model approval view for line managers. It groups recorded data according to the employees assigned to the line manager.

  • SAP_PROJ: Model approval view for project leads. It groups the recorded data according to a work breakdown schedule (WBS) element.

  • The following fields are displayed by default in the collective approval view:
  • The start and end date of the period

  • A column for displaying messages. If a message has been issued, a symbol appears. The quick info contains the text of the message.

  • The total recorded times

  • A field for displaying the approval decision (such as approve or reject)

  • The rejection reason

  1. Specify which approval views you want your approvers to have access to.
  2. In the General Settings section, specify the periods according to which you want the data to be sorted in the list.
Note: You will enter data for field selections in a subsequent activity.
  1. Specify the criteria you require for the collective approval.
  • You can enter up to three criteria. The number of the criteria corresponds to the sequence of the columns from left to right. The collective approval criterion 1 is therefore the main criterion for the collective approval. The collective approval criterion 2 has to be a logical refinement of the data of criterion 1; likewise, criterion 3 has to be a logical refinement of criterion 2.

    Example:
    Order > Operation > Suboperation
    Project > Personnel number
    Personnel number > Attendance/absence type, or Attendance/absence type > Personnel number; both combinations are logical.

  • In selecting criteria, you can choose from all sender and receiver objects in the CATS database (CATSDB and CI_CATSDB). The input help provides an overview of the fields.

  • You can specify the heading displayed in the Web application and the quick info for the columns. If you do not enter this information and you display fields from the CATSDB, the system uses the texts from the ABAP dictionary. You can overwrite these texts if necessary.

  1. Enter the data that you want to use for any comparison with recorded data. You can fill the columns using the HRCATS_APPR_CUST Business Add-In (CATS Approval: Customizing Settings). For more information, see the documentation for the FILL_COMPARATIVE_COLUMNS method (Determine Values for Comparison Columns).
