In this activity, you create approval profiles that you can assign to the individual line managers or project leads. You can assign the approval profiles to multiple approval views. The approvers can then choose the view that they require in the Web application.

The approval profiles have the same function as the data entry profiles in the Time Sheet. The approval profile determines the information displayed about the data to be approved and how it is subsequently processed.

Example

You want approvers to be able to toggle between two approval views:

  • One view containing all recorded time data for one employee
  • One view containing all times confirmed for one project

You therefore configure a profile to which you assign the two relevant approval views.

Activities

  1. Choose New Entries.
  2. Create an approval profile.

    You should try to make the technical name of the approval profile and your label easily identifiable.

  3. If you use SAP Human Resources, specify whether the approved data is to be transferred directly to the HR application.
  4. Specify whether employees are to be notified by e-mail if their working times are rejected.
  5. Choose Enter.
  6. Select the approval profile and double-click on Link Between Approval View and Profile in the dialog structure.
  7. Specify the approval views that you want to offer with this profile. Save your data.
  8. Return to the profile definition screen.
  9. In the Initial View field, enter the view that you want your approvers to see when they access the application. Save your data.
  10. Go to the role maintenance or user maintenance function.
  11. Assign the profiles to your roles or your approvers.
    • You can do this by using the CATS_APPR_PROF user parameter. Enter the ID of your approval profile as the parameter value.
    • Alternatively, you can use a method of the HRCATS_APPR_CUST Business Add-In (CATS Approval: Customizing Settings) to assign the approval profile to the approvers: IO.IF_EX_HRCATS_APPR_CUST GET_PROFILE_ID>GET_PROFILE_ID (Determine Approval Profile ).
    • You can use the CATS_APPR_PERSPCTIVE user parameter to override the default initial view for each approver.
