Info

This functionally is supported starting from add-on 200 SP05 or after implementing the following notes: 3193299, 3195954. Older implementations are no longer aligned with FSM Time&Material journal handling and will not work properly.

This transaction allows re-sending time efforts back to Time&Material Journal for approval/additional changes if an error occurred during inbound idoc processing.

Application

Message class. See also MsgNo

MsgNo

Message number. If this message is found in the inbound idoc’s log, it will be used as approval’s remark

+

Specify whether an error time effort should be resent to FSM as pending in the Time&Material Journal [REQUIRES_APPROVAL] or requiring change [REQUIRES_CHANGE_FOR_APPROVAL]

Prerequisite

Maintain the following entry in transaction /PACG/ECM_APRVT:

Example

Pending

If an inbound time effort idoc runs into errors, message 002 of class LR will be searched for. Such a time effort will be resent to FSM as pending, with the mentioned message as approval remark.

Create a time effort. Approve it and block the CATS transaction to make sure the error above will occur.

Notice that a deletion idoc for the initial generic was sent, as well as a new generic with syncStatus and an outbound Approval object.

The time effort is now pending again in the Time&Material journal.

Requires change

If an inbound time effort idoc runs into errors, message 002 of class LR will be searched for. Such a time effort will be resent to FSM as requiring technician’s change, with the mentioned message as approval remark.

Create a time effort. Approve it and block the CATS transaction to make sure the error above will occur.

Notice that a deletion idoc for the initial generic was sent, as well as a new generic with syncStatus and an outbound Approval object.

The time effort is now requiring change in the Time&Material journal.


Technical remarks

After error inbound idoc processing, a deletion idoc for the initial generic is sent. Then a new generic idoc, with syncStatus is transferred, together with an Approval object idoc. The following table describes property values for the mentioned fields, depending on the target T&J status:
