Transaction /DBME/WMA_MENU_USER
The former Job Catalog is now the estimation Catalog. All new Catalogs should be maintained in the new Estimation Catalog. The menu Job Catalog shouldn’t be used any more.

Usage
Maintain your job- / estimation catalogue. With the transaction “Maintain Catalogs” the new estimation catalogs are maintained. To migrate the job catalog from release 18.1 to the estimation catalog release 18.2 see the RENO (Release notes) document.
The first screen will be the following calling the transaction “Maintain Catalogs”:

Create Estimation Catalog
In the description a text must be maintained.
In the filed Usage the following usage should be used: /DBME/WMA_ESTITM (SRS Estimation Item Value).
...
- Create a hierarchy node in the catalog
...
Create a Hierarchy
With the right mouse click a new hierarchy node can be maintained. The following data should be maintained:
...
- The Hierarchy ID (can be defined as the customer wants)
...
- Description (Char 40)
...
- The Hierarchy group SCHM defines in the OAS that only one code in this hierarchy can be selected (e.g. used for inspection). This Group can be defined in the Customizing.
...
...
Create Hierarchy in the Catalog
...
Create a Code to a hierarchy
To each hierarchy a code can be defined. After creating the code the estimated time can be maintained as following:
...
...
Maintain the estimated times
With the function “Calculation” the finding of the values can be checked. See the following example
While setup Estimation Catalog for OAS, Lean Condition usage can be defined in a way, that one of the condition table defines Estimation Value independent of user role (field USROLE is not included as criteria) while second table defines Estimation Value for the same criteria but with USROLE included as a condition.
Example of the access sequence:
Seq. no | Table | Criteria |
20 | /DBME/WD8_ESV001 | Catalog ID Code ID |
30 | ZKUM_ESV003 | Catalog ID Code ID User Role |
...
Example of finding the catalog
...
Example for Lean Condition table to determine the catalog
Estimation Value defined using table with access seq. 20 will be independent of User Role, so values will be visible for each user. Values defined by table with access seq. 30 will be visible only for users with specified User Role.
Example:
...
Definition of estimated times via lean condition
As result, when displaying Catalog OAS_CAT_TOY without any criteria, codes MCE1, MCE2, MCE3, SC5 and SC6 are displayed without any value:

After entering User Role ADMIN as criteria for calculation, these codes display values:
...

...
...
Result after doing the calculation with user role
All estimation codes are defined with flag ‘Allow empty value’ not set. This causes, that if no value is calculated for the code, this code is not included in the result at all.
...
...
Flag: "Allow empty value" for a code
Calling OAS for standard, or anonymous user, only codes with values corresponding to current user role are determined and displayed. This means, that user in OAS sees only services with user role-independent values:
...

When calling OAS for internal user (with role ADMIN assigned), service catalog includes all codes: user role independent and those defined for role ADMIN as well:
...

The URL of an image to be displayed should be a link to an image in following formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF or SVG (ICO should also work).You can use absolute or relative URLs. Absolute means that URL contains hostname, i.e. http://downloadicons.net/sites/default/files/tire-icon-46884.png A relative URL doesn't include hostname and it's relative to the domain, i.e. /sap/bc/bsp/sap/public/zDBME_oas/audi.ico, which means that the image is hosted on the same server as application.

Maintain the Icon/Image for an item in the new Estimation Catalog
Example could be the following:
...
Example display Icon with ico-File
And the result is following:

In the module VSS Packages can be maintained with the transaction /DBE/PACKAGE. These packages can be assigned to the Estimation Catalogues.
