<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>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Why don't
you use CATS.REJECTED as triggering event for your other solution? I'm not
familiar with the standard approval solution for time sheets, so perhaps your
answer is "because that event is not triggered" - but looking at BOR object
type CATS it seems an obvious choice :-) </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Looking at
program RCATSB01 in our system I see there is a selection screen option to
send notification of rejection. 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.

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
