Title
Time Sheet: Transfer to Project System

Purpose
You use this report to transfer time sheet data to Project System
(PS). The report generates confirmations for networks and, ifnecessary, goods movements for backflushes.
You can transfer time sheet data that has the processing status 30 (
Approved) or 60 (Canceled). The report transfers therecords from the interface table CATSPS to PS.

Integration
When generating confirmations for networks, the system also triggers anactivity allocation in Controlling.

Prerequisites
To postprocess records that the system could not post, you requireauthorization for the Network Confirmation: Collective Confirmation
transaction (CN27).

Recommendation
Transferring canceled data to Project System can lead to poorersystem performance because, for canceled records, the system reads allconfirmations on the respective operation for each cell that has beenchanged in the time sheet. The burden on the system increasesaccordingly.
We recommend therefore that you

• Select only the networks that have been created for a relatively short
period
The more confirmations generated for a network, the poorer the report'sperformance when canceling confirmations.

• Specify in the Number of tasks field that the report generates
several tasks for each transfer when you have performance problems

Features

Selection


• Select the data you want to transfer to PS according to personnel
number, date, network, or document number.

• If you do not want to use the current date as the posting date of the
transferred records, enter a posting date in the relevant field.

• If you are recording a cancelation, enter a posting date for
cancelation, if required.

• In the Number of tasks field, specify the number of tasks into
which you want the data transfer to be divided. This appliesparticularly if you are processing large volumes of data.

• If another user is already processing a network when you execute the
transfer report, the network is locked. You can therefore enter anumber of lock attempts for the report. The report then attemptsto perform the transfer as many times as you specify.

• If you simply want to enter a service for an operation, without this
affecting the network scheduling, select Transfer without dates.The report then transfers the data without the actual start or finishdates.

• For a list detailing which data was transferred, select Log.


• If you only want to check which data can be successfully transferred
and which data may generate errors, select Test run.

Output
If you select the Log option, the report displays a log once thetransfer has been completed.
If records could not be posted during transfer, the report generates aseparate error pool. The records containing errors are flagged astransferred. You can postprocess them in PS. Note however that the datain PS no longer corresponds to the data in the time sheet.
