SAP: Creating a timesheet entry with a OData web service

Question

I would like to create a time booking/recording using an OData web service in SAP S/4HANA (release 2021 FP2 SP3).

I have found HCM_TIMESHEET_MAN_SRV as an OData web service and can also retrieve the metadata for it. Somehow the EntityType 'TimeEntry' does not have a field to enter hours. Could it be that I am using the wrong service? Or is it even possible to create time entry records with HCM_TIMESHEET_MAN_SRV?

Answer 1

From the FIORI reference library, My Timesheet (Version 2) is linked with the ODATA Service HCM_TIMESHEET_MAN_SRV that you are referring to. However the validity seems to end with S4HANA 1909 FP2.

There is newer version of Time sheet FIORI application My Timesheet (Version 3), that has latest validity and is referring to ODATA service HCMFAB_TIMESHEET_MAINT_SRV. Probably you should use this ODATA service to post time sheets (provided that the ODATA service is activated correctly and also HR module customization is maintained correctly).

Additional Info: ODATA service of a FIORI app can be found in Implementation Information tab, Configuration section of the FIORI URL's I have mentioned above. The validity of FIORI applications can be checked there as well.
