Due to significant enhancements in the area of CATS and Person Reservation integration, the object’s key for CATS-based reservations must have been redesigned. If you upgraded to (S4)PACG 200 SP11 and already used the functionality of Person Reservations based on CATS entries, please execute the program /PACG/ECS_PRES_CATS_KEY_MIGR. This is necessary to avoid duplicates in FSM, in case already existing reservations were updated or deleted. Learn more: https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/1967063071

Personal reservations can be automatically transferred to SAP FSM after saving a CATS entry.

Prerequisites

Make sure that the following customizing is maintained: 

  • Att./absence types maintained in transaction

  • CATS statuses maintained in transaction

 

Process

Creation

A CATS entry created with an FSM-relevant attendance/absence type will be sent to FSM as a Person Reservation.

Navigate to transaction CAT2 and create a new entry with an FSM-relevant Att./Absence type.

Save the transaction and notice that an outbound person reservation idoc is generated. All the CATS entries with relevant Att./absence types will be transferred to SAP FSM after saving and will be found on the Planning and Dispatching Board.

Deletion

Deletion of a CATS entry would result in deletion of an FSM Person Reservation.

(S4) PACG 200 SP11 If a multi-day Person Reservation was created in FSM (i.e. resulted in creation of at least two CATS entries), and one of the related CATS entries was deleted in SAP ECC/S4, the entire Person Reservation would be deleted from FSM and then re-created, based on the remaining data. This would result in splitting the Person Reservation - a separate reservation would be created for each day.

For instance, a three-day-long reservation is created in FSM. It results in three CATS entries. The first one is deleted in SAP. The entire reservation is removed and then two new reservations are sent to FSM, representing the two remaining days.

Similar behavior applies to update of CATS related to multi-day reservations created from FSM - reservations will be split.
