Hi Folks,
We have requirement to record actual time against project tasks. I do understand that the standard SAP solution to do this is to use CATS, however, for our scenario using CATS is going to exponentially complicate our solution for these reasons.
So my question - has anybody figured out a way to do this without using CATS, either building custom "timesheet" functionality into PPM or any other mechanism.
Thanks,
Lashan
Hi,
Anytime you tried to explore SAP consulting solution for this requirement.
Apart from this I believe you can make resource as responsible person for the task he is assigned for. With this resource can see the task he is supposed to perform in his task dashboard. From this dashboard he can confirm actual hours and % completion against each task.May be you need to do some enhancement to show actual hours against allocated hours for resource management.
The biggest drawback with this process will be, you may not assign one task with multiple resources and resource and each resource needs to have access with PPM (at least task tab). You can overcome this drawback also, if you decide to further screen enhancement so that somebody like project lead or administrator books time for his team against tasks.

Thanks very much for your response Pramod. Yes, the standard task dashboard will work fine for us, the only issues is that when doing time confirmation for a given task, there is only 1 actual hours field. For example, if I spent 18 hours on a task, I need to have the ability to say, I spent 5 hours on Monday, 8 on Tuesday, 5 on Thursday and so on. We are seriously considering doing an enhancement to allow this type "timesheet" functionality, however, I was wondering if anybody else has already done this and/or knows of a better way.
You mentioned a SAP consulting solution, is there one already out there and do you have any info such as note number so I can refer the details?
