My inbox - Substitution - Any reporting available

0 Kudos

Hi there,

     We have been asked whether there is any reporting functionality available to show which users have set up substitutions and who they have been set up to. This has come from an external audit review :).

Any help, even if there is a CDS view which holds the data, would be great.

Kind regards

Simon

Hello Simon,

I am currently not aware of a CDS view that will directly provide you with this information. However, the standard CDS view for time sheet recording I_TimeSheetRecord and views on engagement projects may allow you to develop a custom report to meet your requirements.

For instance, from engagement project CDS views you may report on the the project manager, project controller, project accountant and from the time sheet recording CDS view you may refer to the the field 'TimeSheetApprovedByUser' to derive the actual user who approved (a user value who is not equivalent to the project manager or controller would thus be the substitute). Keep in mind that the going with this approach may imply that you will be able to report on the second user approval once the status of the time entry is actually approved (may need to include the time sheet processing status field).

Further, if you have implemented the time sheet approval determination BADi within your environment then the above mentioned approach may also be applicable providing you a flexible solution.

Lastly, I welcome you to submit a request of the influence portal if needed.

Hope this helps!

Thank you,

Feras

Thanks Feras - The approvals I am referencing here are related to Purchase requisitions, as opposed to timesheets. Your approach does seem sound though, as monitoring the difference between planned approver and actual approver will highlight actual non-compliance, as opposed to just substitution approvers.

Hi smnkingston1 , have you found any reporting capabilities meanwhile?

Do you know of any way to get a report that displays workflow items that were processed as someones' substitute?

I.e. person B is the substitute of person A during vacation. How can person A know which items person B had processed on his behalf?

Thanks,

Thomas
