3767887 - Default Values for Cost assignments in CAT2 transaction

Symptom

When are default values from employee data infotypes (IT0001 and IT0315) applied in the Time Sheet (CAT2), and what is their priority?

For example;  SKOSTL (Sender Cost Center) and LSTAR (Activity Type) the system evaluates the following data sources and technical possibilities:

Available Data for the Cost assignment 

  1. Infotype 0001 (Organizational Assignment): Derives default values directly from the employee's master cost center.
  2. Infotype 0315 (Time Sheet Defaults): Derives default values specifically maintained for time sheet recording.
  3. Logistics Masters: Derives default values directly from the assigned Work Center or the specific Activity/Operation. 
  4.  Historical or Worklist Data: Copies values from records in the previous period or directly from the user's worklist.
  5. SAP Enhancement (BADI/User Exit): Applies custom logic and default values via the SAP enhancement CATS0002.

Note on System Behavior: There are specific scenario dependencies and customizing restrictions where the system will intentionally suppress or bypass these default values. The breakdown below details exactly which default value applies to each scenario.
