. Step 1 of Task 1 (I do something...)3.1.2. Step 2 of Task 1 (I do something...)
...
. I create external users, if applicable
When the controller requests the creation of external users, usually they don't provide the personnel number.
Exception: When the personnel number is linked to a WP2 cost center. In this cases it is needed also to create an external personnel number.
External personnel numbers must have 8 digits and start with 9*******.
- How to know what is the next external number available?
- Take as reference the last external personnel number created in Time Allocation google sheet. For example, if the last personnel number created was 99600815, we will create the 99600816.
Run “PA40” SAP transaction : personnel Action
This transaction gives access to active, disable and manage personnel number, complete the personnel area determining the Planned Working time.
Fill the personnel number and the date of activation (Note: guarantee that there is no name already assigned to it)
The date of activation is given by the controller in the request.
Fill the Personnel Action and Organization assignment fields
- Reason for Action: A9 Others- Position: 99999999 (always)
- Personnel area: depending on the cost center for allocation, the personnel are should be different. For example, if the cost center for allocation is linked to Belgium, the personnel area should be "0039 - SCH-BE /BRUXELLES NOH". If the cost center for allocation is linked to Portugal, the personnel are should be "2757 GBS-PT /CARNAXIDE". This selection has impact on the calendar that will be used to register the hours.
- Employee group: 9 External Person (always)
- Employee subgroup: "/" - Irrelevant (always)

You may validate the creation by inserting the personnel number and pressing enter. The system will show the personnel name, group and area as the following example:

3.1.2. I parameterize internal and external users
Run “PA30” SAP transaction : Maintain HR Master DATA
This transaction gives access to complete/change the time sheet parameters: Sender cost center, Activity time and plant.
Fill the following fields and after click on
to create- Personnel number
- Period of assignment (the start date must be indicated by the controller and the end date always 31.12.9999)
- Infotype 315 - Time Sheet Defaults
- Provide the sender cost center (allocation) and activity type indicated in the Time allocation google sheet request and save the entries.
- After saving the entries, the system will return to the initial page. It is now needed to change the infotype 7 to set the Planned working time:
- It is needed to fill the Work Schedule rule. If the employee is in Belgium, you must select IBE1. If the employee is in Portugal, the work schedule rule must be IPT1, and so on for each Country.
This is determined by the personnel area defined by HR or in PA40, if it is an external employee. - Save your entries.
- Check in transaction CAT2 if the planed work hours are not zero:
- Enter the data entry profile SIS-PMS and press enter. It will appear the following panel:
- Click on the pencil figure to open the time sheet and if everything is well set up, the planned hours will appear. If the planned hours show up as "0", you need to verify in transaction PA30 if the infotype 7 is well filled.
3.2. I deactivate a CATS user
The request to close/deactivate a CATS user must always come from the controller in the Time allocation google sheet with the indication of the separation date.
- Run transaction PA40 and insert the personnel number and the separation date, and select the option "Separation".
- The following table will appear. Click on the save button.
3. Another table will appear. Save again. (twice)
4. Manage time sheet defaults parameters in transaction PA30

5. Ensure in transaction CAT2 that the user is not able to post hours anymore (if the time sheet is now without planned working hours = 0)
3.3. I reactivate a CATS user that comes back
- Run transaction PA40 and insert the personnel number and the reentry date, and select the option "Reentry as active". execute (F8) and save.
- In transaction PA30 repeat the steps described on point 3.1.2.
3.4. I update the status of the request in Time allocation google sheet
Once the user is parametrized in the system, it is necessary to indicate in the Time allocation google sheet that the request is "Done" and if requested by the controller, send an email to the employee or employee manager indicating that the CATS user has been set in SAP PF2 System and provide the GBS CATS Users Procedure.
