Hi,

I am currently doing this. The Bapi's I am using are BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_CHANGE, BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_DELETE and BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_CHANGE, plus BAPI_CATIMESHEETRECORD_GETLIST. All the standard validations are performed by the bapi's on the R/3 side.

Hope this helps,

Bert

Gregory,

In my testing I did not have to put anything in those. I only needed to make an entry in catsrecords_in.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

what kind of application you must code?

Is it commercial?

Hi Bert,

For updating/adding hours of an activity of a day I know that we need to make use of <b>BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_CHANGE</b>.

But I am not getting what all values I should supply to table parameter CATSRECORDS_IN( ..This is only table to which we need to supply data...Am I right ).

If you can throw some light on this BAPI usage and import/export/table parameters, it will be great help for me. Now almost our work is stopped because of problem we face if we make use of

<b>BAPI_CATIMESHEETMGR_INSERT</b> .... adds an entry even if it is already existing entry in table CATSDB....instead of updating....

Thanks in advance,

Ganga.
