CAT2- this is for time recording.

if ur external agency is being invoiced by time basis, then use cats.

ML81n-service entry

if u r outsourcing a service as a whole kind of fixed price project,

then u use service entry sheet through PO and PR.

if u want to record the time, then u have 2 create personal number for that external agency in HR,

then

1-create WBS cj20n

2-Create Network and activity cj20n

3- assign that activity to the specified person cmp2

4-Book the time cat2

5-Transfer to sap-ps cat5

ok ashis it means v are treating this vendor as internal employee , 2nd on wat basis v vil pay to vendor .

steps which u told me in that case u r using external activity or doing through internal activity only

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

altough u r creating a personal number, but u can set diff number range to know who are external vendor.

for costing part.

1- create activity type (KL01)

2- Activity pricing (KP26)

after transfering through CAT5, the actual cost will be posted to concern WBS.

see ..if u r procuring aservice as a whole, whr u r paying 4 the service not as per time basis.

then u can use service entry for actual posting.
