<div>Hi,</div>
<div>Is it possible to use the CATS.REJECTED event? In my case this event is not getting triggered in any case. When is this CATS.REJECTED event triggered?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

<div><span><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">We build a custom utility <span class="st" id="st" name="st">for</span> 2 reasons. Reason 1: <span class="st" id="st" name="st">CATS</span>.COMPLETED wouldn't work because,
<span class="st" id="st" name="st">CATS</span> behaves differently than other workflows. Everytime an employee enters a timesheet record, the entry gets attached to the existing outstanding work item <span class="st" id="st" name="st">
for</span> that employee. So until a manager has approved all records, an employee can keep adding to the work item. Since in some cases completion took several weeks, we decided to create a utility that is run nightly that creates an event to trigger a
<span class="st" id="st" name="st">send</span> email workflow. Reason 2: Although <span class="st" id="st" name="st">CATS</span>.REJECTED would work, we needed an email <span class="st" id="st" name="st">for</span> <span class="st" id="st" name="st">
approval</span> as well as rejection. So, again the utility does the trick.</font></span></div>

Unfortunately the parameter MAIL in function module CATS_DISPLAY_LIST which is called by the program is not referenced in the function module's ABAP code. An OSS message to SAP to see if you receive the standard answer "this is not an error" is perhaps in place.

</font></span><br>Hi,<br>We use approval task TS20000460(approval by superior) for approval of CATS submitted by an employee. This task sends a mail back to the employee if the Approval is rejected by the superior. We have 2 more requirements for this case as follows,
<br><br><b>1. The initiator should receive an e-mail notification when the CATS submitted by him is approved by the manager.</b><br><br>For this i have tried to create a custom workflow with a sendmail step. I have assigned CATS-COMPLETED event as the triggering event for this workflow. The problem is this event is triggered in both the cases
i.e when the workitem is either Approved or Rejected. I need this workflow to be triggered only in cases of Approval. I also could not find any container elements which shows the status as Aprpoved/Rejected.<br><br><b>2. The Approver should receive a notification in his inbox whenever the employee submits the time sheets asking him to approve the pending time sheets weekly.
</b><br><br>For this i think i might be able to use the report RSWUWFML2 and schedule it on a certain time period to check for pending workitems of task TS20000460 and send notifications. But havent yet tried on this. Is there a better way to do this? Any tables that get updated based on this?
<br><br>we are at ECC5.0 with EP6.0<br><br>Any help on the above queries will be of great use.<br>Thanks in advance for any help provided.<br><br>Prasath N<br></blockquote>
