CATS - Defaulting Receiver Cost Centre in CAT2

Former Member
0 Kudos

Greetings !!

We currently use some Activity Types with Zero rate to book non productive time.

These hours therefore need to be booked on a Cost Centre ( receiver) instead of WBS element.

We would like to default the Receiver Cost Center value to be same as Sender Cost Centre ( from Infotype 0001)

Can you please suggest how to achieve this?

Many thank in advance

requirement is :

1. user has to book productive hours against wbs

2. non productive hours against the home cost center

3. user should be able to do that within a single cats entry profile.

solution:

1. educate the users to use the correct activity codes for the right kind of work performed. - really simple.

2. now the idiot proof technical solution: do a user exit to enforce

a. if wbs is selected non-productive activites cannot be entered

b. if non productive activity is selected only home cost center can be the receiver

c and so on and so forth kind of conditions.

d. ensure you do not hardcode stuff, its a bad practice but not unheard of in the abap world.

e. you may want to check the catsnnnn user exits provided by sap, where nnnn = numbers 0001 till 0009 I think.

Thanks Srinivas

i thought it would be one of CATSnnnn standard exits. I will explore.

just wanted to be sure, there is no other way... !

if you are going the catsnnnn way ensure the exit is also compatible on the latest versions of portal,.. I know some of those exits are not supported via the ehp3/4 level business packages (ess/mss) on the portal, dont remember the exact ones though
