Hi Guys,

Iam new to PS module.

In one of the requirement,We need to plug in the amount spent on travel against the project.

Eg: Engineer will travel to customer site and he used plug in the daywise actual time worked in CAT2 transaction and when we run CAT5 as BG job,the confirmations are reflecting in the project.

In the same way we need to capture the amount spent for travel to reach customer site and this amount has to be charged in the customer invoice.

Hi,

The issue is we are doing confirmation in external system and its being communicated to R/3 through BAPI meant for CAT2.

In the CAT2 transaction one Aeroplane Icon is there know.If I use it how it will reflect in the project.

Hi

You can capture the travel expenses through CAT2. For that you need to maintain infotype "0017" for the person.

The expenses will be reflected on the project as the travel overheads.

Hi Krishnan,

CAT2 is the Transaction to enter times in CATS in ERP for this you have to enter data entry profile which can be cutomized one in your organization and onther one is personnel number which is you can say created for the person related to whom you are going to enter time in system.

The prerequisite for CAT2 is there should be internal order created in Project which can be Project in PS or cProject related to this timesheet.

After entering into CAT2 you will see the new line item displayed in the screen which you will have to copy to the lower part of the screen where you will enter the time accordingly in the respective column. To perform this activity you might required the master data as Controlling Area, Sender CO Object and Activity Type.

After all these you might have to transfer CATS to Controlling. for this you need to start transaction CAT7 and again you would have to enter personnel number and deselct the Test Run and execute. The time would be transfered to Controlling.

And if you want to check if cost transfered to internal order or not, start transaction KOB1.

and enter the internal order number and execute you can see the cost transfered to Controlling.

I hope these information would help you a lot.

Hi ,

There is other way round - create WBS of Travel expenses in project , attach COST type activity to that mentioning the amount or charges of travel expenses and then do billing through FI (FB50).

by this you will get actuals and can get the biling done to the customer.

thanks,
