CATS transfer - Indirect Recharge

Former Member

I'm trying to make a single CATS entry that includes the fields below, in order to records cost against the cost center of the work center, and the maintenance work order (at different rates - purchased services rate, activity type rate).

The fields (with their technical field name) that are used are as follows:

Send.order - SEBELN

Item - SEBELP

Activity Number - LSTNR

Rec. CCtr - RKOSTL

Send. CCtr - SKOSTL

ActTyp - LSTAR

Rec. Order - RAUFNR

Activity - VORNR

Can anyone try a CATS transaction using all of these fields, and let me know if it is possible after the transfer process (CATM & CAT9) and acceptance of service entry sheet (ML81N), the costs show up on both the receiving cost center (at the rate specified in the activity number) and the receiving work order (at the rate specified in the activity type)?

SAP does not allow the two receivers (Cost Center and PM Order) to be costed in an effort to prevent double-costing. The system deliberately removes the Activity Type field from the entry in the CATSPM table in order to achieve this (records can be transferred to PM Module and confirmation created, but it does not have a real cost because activity type is missing).

We had to make an enhancement which looks up the Activity Type from the record in CATSDB to be used in the CAT9 transfer to PM Module.
