Title
Time Sheet: Transfer to Controlling

Purpose
When you transfer time sheet data to Controlling (CO), you trigger COinternal activity allocation.
You can use report RCATSTCO to post approved (processing status 30) orreleased (processing status 60) time sheet data in CO. The reporttransfers the records from the interface table CATSCO to CO andgenerates CO documents.
If required, you can run several transfers in parallel. If you do this,note the following:

• If you select by personnel numbers only, the report locks the selected
personnel numbers in CATSCO. The report locks up to a maximum of 100personnel numbers. If you select more than 100 personnel numbers, thereport locks the whole of CATSCO, which means you cannot run anyadditional parallel transfers.

• If you select by date only, you can enter different periods for each
transfer. These different periods must not overlap however. If thereport selects more than 100 workdays with time sheet data, it locksCATSCO. Additional parallel transfers are then no longer possible.

• If you select by personnel number and date, the personnel numbers you
select have priority over the dates. In this case too, you can select amaximum of 100 personnel numbers before CATSCO is locked completely andyou are no longer able to run additional parallel transfers.
If you change a record in the time sheet once it has already beentransferred, the system generates a cancelation record in the interfacetable. The report then posts this record as either a cancelation recordor a negative record in CO. This depends on whether or not yousummarize the time sheet records before they are transferred. If you donot summarize the records, the cancelation record is posted as acancelation record. If you do summarize the records, the cancelationrecord is posted as a negative record.

Integration
Depending on your settings in the Fill CO Documents
Customizing step, the report generates one CO document pertransferred record, or combines or summarizes several records in one COdocument.
Activity allocation in CO can be triggered indirectly, that is withoutyou explicitly transferring the time sheet records to CO. This may bethe case if you transfer data to another component. Confirmations inLogistics trigger activity allocation in CO, for example.

Prerequisites
You require authorization for the Enter Activity Allocationtransaction (KB21).

Features

Selection


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

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

• If you schedule the report as a background job, select Ignore
warnings. Then the report posts the data even if it causes warningsto be issued. The report displays these warnings in the log once thetransfer is complete.
If you do not select the Ignore warnings field and the reportissues a warning during transfer, the data is not posted. In this case,you must postprocess the relevant data in the time sheet and then run arepeat transfer.

Output
After transferring the data to CO, the report generates a log. The logshows which records were posted successfully. If errors occured, youmust postprocess them in the time sheet.
