SAP Dealer Business Management: BusinessScenario and Business Process Configuration


General InformationCustomizingAll Customizing (table contents of DBM and ERP tables) is part of the object list of the DBM700 installation.

Customizing for the optional components SAP Multi Resource Scheduling (MRSS) and SAPIncentive and Commission Management (ICM) is delivered with BC Sets and must beactivated separately.

Customizing Adjustments after UpgradeBackground of DBM Customizing Delivery during Upgrade

The SAP Dealer Business Management solution is highly flexible, and therefore it reliesextensively on Customizing settings.Changes to Customizing entries are usually delivered by a support package. The reasonsbehind these changes are mostly due to refinement of a process or due to architecturalreasons that warrant the change of some technical or Customizing settings. It is important tonote that these Customizing changes in DBM are made for reasons whose ultimate objectiveis to improve the quality of the solution, and prevent any issues in the future.Therefore, we highly recommend that these changes are reviewed and migrated to yourexisting Customizing.

The steps below describe this process.

Important information

Before upgrading, or applying a support package, we recommend that you generate a versionfor the current DBM Customizing in order to track any changes. This is beneficial, especiallyin cases where there are new table entries (relevant mainly for Customizing tables withdelivery class G). To generate a version, make the following setting in Customizing for DealerBusiness Management under Framework Components Customizing Versioning Tools

Version Generator.Alternatively, you can compare the customizing across your different systems, for examplebetween your development and test system.

How to adjust the Customizing

Version Analyzer Overview:

1. You can locate the DBM delivery customizing provided by SAP in your system inclient 000.

2. The DBM solution provides a tool to help you analyze the changes to be made.This tool is called the Version Analyzer.

3. Note that the Version Analyzer provides an indication regarding the changes to bemade. If you made any changes in the standard Customizing, then it is important toreview the Version Analyzer display.

4. The Version Analyzer has grouped sets of Customizing tables, called Usages,based on the applications that use them.

5. You can select a usage in the Version Analyzer, and analyze the correspondingCustomizing tables for the usage.

6. The following usages are available for analysis:

BILL Billing


INCOMPLLOG Incompletion Log

LAYOUT Order Layout SAPGUI

LC Lean Condition Generic Tables

OCF Object Control Framework

OE Order Control

ORDTP_SCHM Order Type Schema

ORD_PROCST Order Process Status

PRIC Pricing

VMSMATRIX Tables used in Vehicle Master

WD_UI WebDynpro/Drive UI Framework

Steps while using the Version Analyzer:

1. Navigate to the Version Analyzer by using transaction /DBM/OE_VT_ANZ, or seeCustomizing for Dealer Business Management under Framework ComponentsCustomizing Versioning Tools Version Analyzer.

5. Select the comparison version type D - Other Client.

6. Select the comparison version 000 - SAP AG (delivery Customizing).

7. You can choose the tables and check for entries that may need to be deleted,changed or created.

8. If no changes have been made to the previous delivery Customizing and if theabove instructions are followed correctly, the system displays the following entries:

o A red entry is a Customizing entry that can be deleted

o A green entry is a Customizing entry that can be added

o A yellow entry is a Customizing entry that can be changed

9. Repeat the above steps for all the tables and all the usages and make theCustomizing changes accordingly.

Business Partner Configuration

Important SAP Notes

SAP Note DescriptionSAP Note 1076698 Refer to this SAP Note if you encounter the

following problem: If you create a customerrole and immediately the sales organizationdata, the business partner transaction dumpswhen saving.

SAP Note 956054 Customer/vendor integration as of ERP 2005

SAP Note 954816 Transactions for creating/linking businesspartners.

SAP Note 941955 Integration of FI customers/vendors with SAPbusiness partner.

SAP Note 1076698 For creating sales organization data and newbusiness partner with one commit at thesame time (to avoid short dump).

The replication of data between business partner, customer master and vendor master isbidirectional and synchronous. The changes in the business partner are replicated directlywithin the same LUW to the corresponding ECC object, and vice versa.


Prerequisite SettingsProcedure

The following Customizing settings are required for CVI:

Activate Synchronization Options

In Customizing for Cross-Application Components, navigate to Master Data SynchronizationSynchronization Control Synchronization Control Activate Synchronization Options.

You must activate the following replications for synchronization between the business partnerand the customer in DBM:

From business partner to customer From business partner to vendor From customer to business partner From customer to business vendor

Post Processing Office (PPO) and Synchronization cockpit

If you want to use the business partner in DBM, you must first start the MDS cockpit first tocreate business partners for existing customers. The MDS cockpit creates the customer roleand the FI customer role as well if the company code data is available.

You can use the synchronization cockpit for mass creation of business partners fromcustomers and vendors.

In Customizing for Cross-Application Components, navigate to Master Data SynchronizationSynchronization of Mass Data Execute Synchronization Cockpit.

The Postprocessing Office (PPO) is integrated in the synchronization cockpit, so that it can beused to process synchronization errors. If the PPO has not been activated, thesynchronization cockpit does not start synchronization if errors occur. The system displaysthe relevant error message.

You can use the transactions below to execute the CVI process for one customer/vendor (forexample, for creating a business partner for an existing customer):

1. FLBPD1: Create a business partner based on the selected customer.2. FLBPC1: Create a business partner based on the selected vendor.3. FLBPD2: Assign business partner to customer.4. FLBPC2: Assign business partner to vendor.

You can connect the master data synchronization between the business partner and thecustomer to the PPO. After you define the connection, the system writes a postprocessingorder (PPO order) if an error occurs during the synchronization. You can use transactionMDS_PPO2 (Postprocessing Desktop) to call the postprocessing orders. You can use thisfunction to analyze and process errors. You set up the PPO for the synchronization betweenthe business partner and the customer. If an error occurs, there are inconsistent datasets inthe systems until the PPO orders are processed consistently.


If you do not activate the PPO for the master data synchronization between the businesspartner and the customer, the system generates a short dump if an error occurs. The systemdisplays the cause of the synchronization error in the error table LS_ERROR-OBJECTS in thedump / debugger. We recommended that you to activate the PPO for the testing phase.Otherwise, it should be deactivated so that the errors cause immediately a short dump thatyou can analyzed.

To connect the CVI to the PPO, you must make two Customizing settings:

1. Activate the PPO for the synchronization object BP

In Customizing for Cross-Application Components, navigate to Master DataSynchronization Synchronization Control Synchronization Control ActivatePPO Requests for Platform Objects in the Dialog.

Activate the PPO for the synchronization object BP (use input help).

2. Activate Creation of Postprocessing Orders

In Customizing for Cross-Application Components, navigate to General ApplicationFunctions Postprocessing Office Business Processes Activate Creation ofPostprocessing Orders.

For the software component AP-MD, make the following entries:

Component Business Object Act

AP-MD CVI_01 X

AP-MD CVI_03 X

For further controlling of postprocessing orders (workflow connection), refer to theCustomizing documentation for the required steps.


Synchronization from Business Partner toCustomer

ProcedureYou must define the customer business partner role categories.

In Customizing for Cross-Application Components, navigate to Master Data SynchronizationCustomer/Vendor Integration Business Partner Settings Settings for Customer

If you want to have the same internal numbers for the business partner and for theautomatically created SD customer, the same number range must be applied to the businesspartner and to the customer. Navigate to Logistics General Business Partner Customers

Control Define Account Groups and Field Selection for Customers. The number rangefor the business partner is internal. The number range for the customer is set to external.

In this case, the customer cannot created with an internal number, only by using anotheraccount group with internal number range assignment. If you want to create customers thathave the same internal number as the related business partner, another account groupaccount group for the business partner with internal number range is needed. The businesspartner’s internal number range should be the same as the customer’s number range, but thecustomer’s should be external.

During the upgrade the same internal number distribution can be provided as follows (if thecustomer already has SD customer in the system):

1. Create a business partner from the customer with MDS. Set up the same number rangefor the business partner as it is for the customer.


2 Create new number ranges - the same for the business partner and customer, and startcreating business partners (and customer automatically in the background with CVI) withthese new number ranges.

Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)

ProcedureThe following BAdIs are available for customer-specific mapping.

In Customizing for Cross-Application Components, navigate to Master Data Synchronization Customer/Vendor Integration Business Partner Settings Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)

BAdI: Data Assignment BP <-> Customer/Vendor/Contact Person.

BAdI: Data Assignment of Bank Details BP -> Customer/Vendor.

BAdI: Data Assignment of Payment Cards BP <-> Customer.

BAdI: Data Assignment of Form of Address from Customer/Vendor to BP.

BAdI: Defaults for Creating Data from BP to Customer/Vendor.

If a customer has no title, the business partner is created with category Organization. Thedelivered CVI_MAP_BP_CATEGORY implementation returns this title value. A newimplementation of BAdI CVI_MAP_TITLE (Data Assignment of Form of Address fromCustomer/Vendor to BP) with name /DBM/CU_CVI_MAP_BP_CATEGORY has been createdwhich should be switched on in Customizing using the Active (IMG) flag. Select BAdI: DataAssignment of Form of Address from Customer/Vendor to BP.

Customer/Vendor Integration Business Partner Settings Settings for CustomerIntegration Field Assignment for Customer Integration Assign Attributes ContactPerson Activate Assignment of Contact Persons.

Set the Cntct Person Active flag.

This setting is needed to automatically create KNVK entries when a contact personrelationship is created for a business partner.


Maintain Collective Billing Field in the BPTransaction

ProcedureThe following BAdI does not have to be implemented. The structuresCMDS_EI_SALES_DATA and CMDS_EI_SALES_DATAX were enhanced with DBM specificfields. (see append structure /DBM/CMDS_EI_SALES_DATA_A and/DBM/CMDS_EI_SALES_DATAX_A). These structures are used in CMDS_EI_EXTERN. Thefields are maintained in the PBO and PAI function modules of the view DBM060.

We do not fill the DATAX, but if you create the business partner with BAPI, the DATAXappend is a prerequisite.

In Customizing for Cross-Application Components, navigate to Master Data SynchronizationCustomer/Vendor Integration Business Partner Settings Business Add-Ins (BAdIs)

Set BadI CVI_MAP_BUSINESS_ADDRESS implementation active.

In the BUPT, nothing was set for the business partner relationships. The KNVK entries aregenerated only for the relationship category ‘BUR001’. It is hard coded in the source code.This is why DBM does not use new relationship categories or relationship types.


Synchronization Cockpit

ProcedureAfter you complete the configuration steps above, you can start the synchronization cockpit.

In the test phase, set the PPO.

In the productive phase do NOT set the PPO

1. Start the MDS for the customer.

2. This step is for the MDS for the vendor problem (job terminates if the vendor is equalto the customer). The PPO is set, so there is no dump. If you encounter this error,you can connect the business partners and vendors with transaction LBPC2.

Business partners should now be created for all existing SD customers, depending on theselection criteria in the cockpit.


Upgrade Report

ProcedureAfter you complete the synchronization process, start the report /DBM/UPDATE_BUPA to fillthe /DBM/VBPA-PARTNER field for the existing DBM orders. This report does not lock anyDBM orders. We therefore recommend that you only run the report when the system is lockedfor users.

Add transaction /DBM/BP_CM to the relevant customizing table

It is necessary to be able to start the /DBM/BP_CM transaction from within the notificationtransaction.

To add the transaction, see Customizing for Cross-Application Components -> SAP BusinessPartner -> Business Partner -> Basic Settings -> Business Partner Roles -> DefineApplication Transactions

Enter the /DBM/BP_CM transaction code and a description.


Quick Creation of Business Partner

Procedure

When you use transaction BP to create a business partner, you must enter various customerdata. In most cases, the sales data is the same for all business partners. You can use theQuick Creation (QC) process to easily create business partners. In order to create a BP usingthe QC process, reference business partners must be created to get the sales data for thenewly created business partners.

The QC process can be used in several transactions in DBM (for example DBM Order,Vehicle Assignment) to create BP with different roles.

Customer Role / Organizational Data

The customer role can be different depending on the caller transaction. The customer rolesare maintained through the BAdI /DBM/CU_BP_QUICK_ROLES. The organizational dataarea depends on the selected customer role.

Reference Business Partners

Reference business partners (or reference customers) are used to supply sales data for thenewly created business partner. It is very important to set the reference business partner’ssales and company data correctly otherwise orders could not be invoiced for the businesspartners that have been created by using the Quick Creation process. You can only createorders for the business partners that have FI Customer role. If the business partner does nothave this role then in the billing process, the system creates the role. The system will try tocreate this role using the reference business partner’s company code. If no company code ismaintained for the reference business partner, then the FI customer role cannot be createdfor the order’s business partner either.

If you use the quick creation process to create a vendor, then the Vendor and FI Vendorroles, and the purchasing view must be created for billing.

Criteria Tables

Criteria tables are used to determine the reference customer, depending on the selected ormaintained data on the Quick Creation screen. You can create several criteria tables, andcustomize the access control. In each of the criteria tables, you can define several criteriafields.

One master criteria table /DBM/C_CU_BP_001 is delivered in delivery customizing. Thecriteria fields are Sales Organization (VKORG), Distribution Channel (VTWEG) and Division(SPART).


Further criteria tables can be created in the customer namespace.

In Customizing for Logistics Execution, navigate to Dealer Business Management Customer Data Management Business Partner Define Table of Criteria

You must define fields for all criteria tables.

Criteria Access Sequence

In Customizing for Logistics Execution, navigate to Dealer Business Management Customer Data Management Business Partner Define Access Sequence.

When you use the Quick Creation process to create a business partner, the system looks upthe criteria tables in the order that is defined in the criteria access sequence Customizing.

Define Reference Business Partners

In order to have reference business partners, one or more business partners must be createdusing transaction BP. The sales and distribution data that is maintained for the referencebusiness partner is copied for the business partner.

Condition Processing

You maintain the records in the criteria table by using transaction /DBM/CU_BP_COND. Youcan insert several combinations of criteria fields with the reference business partner. In theQuick Creation process, the system looks up these tables in the order of the customizedsequence and if the data that entered by the user in the Quick Creation popup is found in thecriteria table, then the system uses the relevant reference business partner.


Sales Organization DistributionChannel

Division Cust.No.

0001 01 01 REF_PER_C

0001 Q3 01 REF_PER_C

0001 Q4 01 REF_PER_C

In the example above, if the user selects 0001 for Sales organization 01 for distributionchannel and 01 for division, then the system selects the partner REF_PER_C as thereference business partner.


Accounting (Financials, Controlling)

See SAP Note 930634.

We strongly recommend that you consult an SAP CO/FI expert if setting up the DBM FI/COconfiguration. The configurations steps described in this chapter are example processconfiguration, and can differ from customer to customer.

SAP fills the field ZUONR with the DBM order and split number in SD and Accounting.


Processing the Controlling AreaUseYou can use this procedure to edit the settings for the controlling area for each fiscal year.The system requires a version 0 for the current fiscal year.

Procedure...

1. In Customizing for Controlling, choose General Controlling Organization MaintainVersions.

2. In the Controlling area choose Settings Settings for Each Fiscal Year

3. Create a version 0 for the current fiscal year in the same way as for the existing entries.


Chart of AccountsUseYou can use this procedure to edit the settings for the chart of accounts. The chart ofaccounts is a classification scheme consisting of a group of general ledger (G/L) accounts.For each G/L account, the chart of accounts contains the account number, the account name,and technical information.

Within the chart of accounts, revenue and cost accounts are created and maintained. Theexample chart of accounts delivered with the SAP System is INT. The following guidelines arebased on the example chart of accounts INT.

ProcedureFor further information, refer to the standard SAP ERP documentation.


Creating AccountsUseG/L account master records contain the data that is always needed by the general ledger todetermine the account's function. The G/L account master records control the posting ofaccounting transactions to G/L accounts and the processing of the posting data. G/L accountsrepresent revenues and costs.

Each created new account needs to be assigned to a chart of accounts.

ProcedureFor further information, refer to the standard SAP ERP documentation.


Creating Cost ElementsUseYou create primary cost elements to transport costs and revenues to Controlling.

Primary cost elements need a corresponding G/L account. G/L accounts representingrevenues need to have a cost element with cost element category 11. G/L accountsrepresenting costs need to have the Cost Elements with Cost Element Category 1. All G/Laccounts needed for Controlling must have a corresponding primary cost element.

Secondary cost elements do not have a corresponding G/L account, and exist only inControlling.

ProcedureBefore creating Cost Elements, see SAP Note 1003330....

1. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Controlling Cost CenterAccounting Master Data Cost Element Individual Processing CreatePrimary.

2. Create the primary cost elements 800000 with cost element category 11 and 410000,980000, 980001, 999000, 999100, 999001, 999101 with cost element category 1 (if notalready available in chart of account INT, if using an own chart of account the accountsmight have a different number).

3. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Controlling Cost CenterAccounting Master Data Cost Element Individual Processing CreateSecondary.

4. Create the secondary cost element 640100 with cost element category 43 for activityallocation (if not already available).


Copying the Cost Element GroupUseCost element group DBM_DB is a DBM template and delivered in client 000. It is used tostructure all cost elements posted to the DBM internal order in the reporting cost analysis.You can copy the structure to the current client, where you can integrate your own costelements. Use this structure to collect all relevant cost elements for DBM for easier furthercost analysis in the DBM order. For more information, see Defining Reports in the InformationSystem.

1. On the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Accounting Controlling Cost CenterAccounting Master Data Cost Center Individual Processing Create.

2. Create a cost center, for example Workshop.


Creating and Assigning an Activity Type and aPrice

Procedure...

1. In the standard system, create an activity type (assignment of an allocation cost element,that is, a secondary cost element) and maintain the activity price for a specific costcenter.

The labor values are posted from the cost center performing the activity to the DBM orderon the basis of this activity type and price. The activity type and the providing cost centerare stored in Customizing for Dealer Business Management (DBM).

2. Create version 0 for the current fiscal year. See Processing the Controlling Area.

You must define a plan price for the newly-created activity type and appropriate costcenter.

3. In Customizing for Controlling, choose Cost Center Accounting Master Data ActivityTypes Create Activity Types (for example, MONT).

4. Edit the master data for the activity type on the tab page Basic Data as follows:

In the field ATyp category (activity type category), enter the value 1 (manual entry,manual allocation)

In the field Allocation cost elem, choose the appropriate allocation cost element byusing the F4 help.

In the field Activity Unit, enter H for hours.

In the field CCtr categories, enter * (all cost center types).

Collective Order ControlUseTo model dealer processes, additional objects were developed on the basis of ERP. One ofthese key /DBM/objects is the DBM order. A display transaction has been developed for thefollowing orders:

Service order

Vehicle order

Parts order

An internal order on the first level acts as a cost collector in the background. That is, the usersdo not have to manage and track these costs themselves. The DBM order and the internalorder are linked. When the invoice is created, all cost and revenue collected on this level isreposted to the second level and here the balance will be 0.

In the DBM order split, the system divides the postings between several bill-to parties. Whenan invoice is created in the background for every bill-to party and, depending on theCustomizing settings, an additional internal order is created. This means that an internal orderalso exists for every bill-to party. When invoicing takes place, the system posts the revenuesand costs to these bill-to party internal orders according to the split values. If you wish, youcan use Customizing settings in the DBM order to determine that a separate internal order isnot created for each bill-to party, but rather the costs and revenue are posted to theappropriate collective internal orders according to the Customizing settings, for example, inaccordance with the business transaction (by means of order control).

If you set the Collective Internal Order indicator in the DBM order type, the system posts thecosts and revenue to a collective order when invoicing takes place and the costs and revenuecan then be forwarded to and settled using Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). The collective orderthat is debited with the costs is determined by the criteria listed below:...

Parts


Creating Spare PartsUseThe DBM material is based on the standard system. Dealer Business Management (DBM)has the following differences and enhancements to the standard system:

Additional DBM data (generic data)

Part to be returned

(returned to manufacturer for further technical development)

Part that has to be kept (legal requirement)

Part that has to be disposed of (legal requirement)

Check multiple entry

Simplified user interface

Default views

Aggregated display

You can process parts using the following transactions:

Transaction Description

/DBM/MM01 Create material – DBM

/DBM/MM02 Change material – DBM

/DBM/MM03 Display material – DBM

/DBM/MMXX Create material from the original parts master.

It is not necessary to maintain all the parts froma manufacturer (all models, model ranges,years of manufacture) in the system forproductive operation. This number would bemultiplied further for dealers that handleseveral brands. The dealer works with just asubset of the entire parts range to handle partssales and service. These parts are also fullymaintained in the SAP system.

Table /DBM/OMARA contains all of the partssupplied by the manufacturer. The search helpfunction can be used to find entries in thistable. A complete master record is created inthe SAP system if necessary.

MM01 Create material (SAP standard)

MM02 Change material (SAP standard)

MM03 Display material (SAP standard)

MM06 Flag for deletion (SAP standard)

You can add manufacturer-specific fields according to the enhancement concept.


The following information for DBM material data within a parts master is important and shouldbe maintained for DBM order follow up processes ( for example, procurement and SD billingdocuments).

Field Data Description

Material Type HAWA Trading goods

Properties copied from HAWA

Industry Sector M

Material Group Customer and brand-specificsettings possible

General Item Category Group NORM Normal SAP standard item

Checking Group for AvailabilityCheck

Customer-specific setting

Procurement type F External:

supplied by manufacturer

Materials planning (MRP) Customer-specific settings formanufacturer parts (MRP ismanufacturer-specific)

For inventory-managedmaterials from other vendors,such as tires (for example,summer and winter tires) andaccessories, you can use SAPMRP and materials planningfunctions

Tax classification Customer-specific setting (seeSAP Note 109005 for taxlevied on used parts)

Transportation group

Loading group

0001 Delivery functions are notcurrently integrated into theDBM order,

Since transport and loadinggroups are required fields inthe material type HAWA, youeither have to define them withdefault values or set the fieldcontrol for these fields inCustomizing appropriately.

If you created your own value for general item category or transportation group you can alsouse those values when creating or updating a parts master record.

For DBM material masters, you have to set the screen sequence to A1.

Procedure...

1. In Customizing for Logistics – General choose Material Master Configuring theMaterial Master Assign Screen Sequences to User/MaterialType/Transaction/Industry Sector.

Archiving


Maintaining Enhancements and BAdIImplementations

ProcedureIn Customizing for Logistics Execution choose Dealer Business Management (DBM)Archiving Archiving Documentation, and follow the instructions.


Archiving Control for DBM OrderUseResidence time determines the time interval (in calendar days) that must elapse between thetime of closing the DBM order (the date when order gets status Closed) and setting thedeletion indicator by the preprocessig program.

The wildcard character * also can be used and the program must use the strongest conditionif there is more than one. Conditions with fixed values are stronger than condition with *. TheDBM order is not be archived if no conditions match.

ProcedureYou can configuer archiving for DBM orders in Customizing for Logistics Execution DealerBusiness Management (DBM) Archiving Archiving Control For DBM Order.

ExampleSales org: *

Order type: *

Residence time: 200

Sales org.: 0001

Order type: 2000

Residence time: 500

In this case, if customer would like to archive a DBM order with order type 2000 or with salesorg 0001 then the preprocessing program will check if the 500 days have elapsed. In eachother case the program will check if 200 days have elapsed.


Time Recording


Creating Customer Include Fields for TableCATSDBUseDBM Time Recording allows the creation of time stamps on order, task and item level. To beable to transfer this additional data to CATS relevant fields have to be added to the tableCATSDB via the customer include CI_CATSDB.

Procedure1. Add to customer include CI_CATSDB fields for order, task and item.

2. Use the following component types for the different fields to ensure DBM TimeRecording:

Field for Order: data element /DBM/VBELN_VA

Field for Task: data element /DBM/TASKNR

Field for Item: data element /DBM/POSNR

For an example of how the customer include should look, see structure /DBM/CATSDB.

Adding Customer-Specific Index For Table CATSDBSee SAP Note 1121243.


Transferring DBM Data to CATS

ProcedureTo ensure the transfer of the DBM specific data of the time stamps (order, task, item), youmust create a relevant project for SAP Enhancements:

1. Use transaction CMOD

Enter a project name and then create the project.

2. Click Enhancement assignments and enter enhancements CATS0002 and CATS0005.

3. Choose Components and then double-click EXIT_SAPLCATS_002.

4. Create include ZXCATU02.

Fill in the fields for DBM Order, Task or Item accordingly for transfer to CATS.

ExampleThe class method /DBM/CL_TM_DBMDATA_EXAMPLE->FILL_CATS_DBM_DATA holds theexample logic to fill the DBM specific data into the CATS record. This is just an example ofhow the data can be filled. This class method must be called inside the include 'ZXCATU02'.

The user exit parameter 'enrich_table' is a table. It will have only one record in this case. Passthe single record into the class changing paramter 'cs_enrich_table' which is returned withDBM fields updated with data. Update this back into the 'enrich_table' parameter.

Sample coding for transferring the DBM data to CATS:

DATA: lo_dbmdata TYPE REF TO /dbm/cl_tm_dbmdata_example.

FIELD-SYMBOLS: <ls_enrich_table> TYPE cats_comm.

READ TABLE enrich_table ASSIGNING <ls_enrich_table> INDEX 1.

CREATE OBJECT lo_dbmdata. CALL METHOD lo_dbmdata->fill_cats_dbm_data EXPORTING is_tcats = sap_tcats CHANGING cs_enrich_table = <ls_enrich_table>.

In the Time Sheet (transaction CAT2), you can call a pop-up with the additional fields byclicking Additional fields. If you want to use this functionality you must perform following steps,after you have added the fields to the structure CATSDB:

Create the subscreen 1000 for program SAPLXCAT, which contains the additionalfields. This subscreen is included in the dialog box that is called in the time sheet.


Also a function module to receive data in the transfer structure fields and to return thedata to the calling program needs to be created. The function module used isEXIT_SAPLCATS_005. You can do the relevant coding in the customerenhancement project, which was created for the transfer of the DBM specific data, asmentioned above.

For the optional process of subsequent cost processing, it is also necessary to create animplementation for the enhancement CATS0006, and to change the coding of theenhancement CATS0002, to ensure that the DBM Order is updated accordingly if subsequentcosts were posted for it.

CATS0002: The method /DBM/CL_TM_DBMDATA_EXAMPLE->SET_SUBSEQ_COSTS contains the logic to set the flag in the DBM Order, thatsubsequent costs occurred. Corresponding coding must be added to the includeZXCATU02.

CATS0006: Add coding to the include ZXCATU05, such as the method/DBM/CL_TM_DBMDATA_EXAMPLE->SAVE_ORDER to save the updated DBMorder.

If you want to use the subsequent costs process for time recording, add the following codingto include ZXCATU02 (in addition to the coding above for transferring DBM data).

Note: You must adapt this coding.

A) Add following data declaration to the top include ZXCATTOP:

DATA go_order TYPE REF TO /dbm/cl_order.

B) Call the coding of CATS0002 below, only if the field of <ls_enrich_table> (used for theDBM order number) is not empty. You have to change the first line of the coding if thefield which was added to the include CI_CATSDB (view paragraph ‘CreatingCustomer Include Fields for Table CATSDB’) for the DBM order number has adifferent name than in this example (DBMVBELN). The first line must be:

IF NOT <ls_enrich_table>-<fieldname for DBM Order> IS INITIAL.

Coding of CATS0002

IF NOT <ls_enrich_table>-dbmvbeln IS INITIAL. DATA: lv_ok_code TYPE sy-ucomm.

CALL METHOD lo_dbmdata->save_order CHANGING co_order = go_order EXCEPTIONS parameter_error = 1 OTHERS = 2.

ENDIF. ENDIF.

The coding, implemented for user-exit CATS0006 can look as follows:

DATA: lo_dbmdata TYPE REF TO /dbm/cl_tm_dbmdata_example, lv_ok_code type syucomm.

lv_ok_code = sy-ucomm.

IF lv_ok_code = 'SAVE'. IF NOT go_order IS INITIAL.


CREATE OBJECT lo_dbmdata.

CALL METHOD lo_dbmdata->save_order CHANGING co_order = go_order EXCEPTIONS parameter_error = 1 OTHERS = 2. ENDIF.ENDIF.


Setting Up Data Entry ProfilesUseYou must define a default data entry profile for the configuration of the data entry in the timesheet.

ProcedureIn Customizing for Cross-Application Components choose Time Sheet Specific Settings forCATS classic Set Up Data Entry Profiles or enter transaction CAC1.


Maintaining HR Master DataUseFor the use of DBM Time Recording, a minimum set of infotypes must be maintained for therelevant employees by using transaction PA30 (Maintain HR Master Data).

Procedure1. Maintain the following infotypes:

0000 - Actions

0001 - Organizational Assignment

0002 - Personal Data

0050 - Time Recording Info

0315 - Time Sheet Defaults

2. To maintain absences, use infotype 0007, Planned Working Time.

3. To assign employees to a specific terminal group, create an individual infotype withtransaction PM01.

This infotype can contain fields for:

Explicit assignment to a terminal group: data element /DBM/TM_VT_STTGR

Explicit asignmnt active: data element /DBM/TM_OVERW_I

Assignment for shared employee: data element /DBM/TM_VT_SBTGR (there can bemore than one field for assignment as shared employee


Additional Information

If CATS accumulates 0 hours for the time booked, 0 times (quantity) is calculated for theactual times. This can occur for a few reasons:

1. If the relevant work schedules for the employee grouping/work schedule rule is notcreated for the period. The working schedules can be generated using transactionPT01. The work schedule is maintained for each employee in the HR master recordin the infotype 0007 (Planned Working Time).

2. If time is booked during the time interval which is defined as a 'Break' in the BreakSchedules in standard customizing, and if this break time is defined as 'Unpaid' timethen 0 actual time is booked by CATS. This can be overrun in the CATS profile beingused by setting the flag No Deduction of Breaks active.
