About the Book

This complete guide to effectively configuring CATS provides detailed explanations of Special Approvals and customising for Duet , along with detailed steps for setting up CATS to fulfil the many complex configuration requirements. Details on each CATS User-exit and tips on what functionality can or cannot be accomplished with particular User-exits is also included . In addition, the author provides in-depth guidance for how to prevent and correct performance problems, answers to frequently asked questions, tips for audit report development, and much more. Readers will explore how to perform frequently used activities, such as recording time or executing a CATS report directly from Microsoft Office and discover the key steps you can take to avoid or correct some of the most common causes for the slowdown of some CATS transactions. You'll learn how to effectively use the Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs) provided by CATS to exchange time data with external systems and master the Import/Export functionality and how to increase the efficiency of the approval process by implementing rules for automatic time approvals. In addition, you'll uncover how best to customise the approval report with your own data fields and messages to facilitate the entire process.
