About license of HCM processes and form

Hi all:
Can anybody tell me if we want to use HCM processes and form, are we need to buy extra license for interactive forms?
Thank you very much!
wayne

Hello Wayne,
sap notes 750784 describes the scenarios in which using Adobe Interactive Forms needs an extra license.
To sum up:
- using print forms is included
- using the sap delivered standard / example forms is included
- if you change only the "color" of the standard forms this is still included
- once you start to functional enhance standard forms by modification (new fields, new logic) or even develop your own templates and forms you need an additional licence
Kind Regards

  • Use HCM processes and Forms without using the Enterprise Portal

    is it possible to leverage existing HR Admin Services (HCM processes and Forms) functionality without using the Enterprise Portal?
    1) Create an Adobe form and Interface using SFP
    2) Set up ISR and Form Scenario
    3) Set up Forms configuration to use existing Backend and generic Services
    4) Set up workflow to updated Backend using Services
    is it possible to do the above steps and not use the Portal? If Yes, how do we present the forms to the Manager, and provide different buttons that appears on the Portal by default?
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Saurabh

    Hi Saurabh,
    your assumptions and findings (items can not be started from the backend workflow inbox etc.) are correct: These processes can not be started without the Portal and it is not intended to do this.
    The above mentioned backend report are only forseen for implementation and testing purposes and not for productive use.
    In addition to the fact, that you already can't execute the work items a lot of other features of the framework (Process Browser etc.) are only available through the Portal.

  • Default value in dropdown field for FPM form in HCM Processes and forms

    Hi Experts,
    I am developing HCM Processes and forms using FPM forms and I had a dropdown list contains ten values. So, every time while opening the form first time, my dropdown field should be defaulted with fifth value from the list. How can we achieve this in dropdown field related to FPM Form.
    Please guide me.
    Regards,
    Nayani.

    You would have to assign the default value to one your custom generic services.
    Regards.
    PS: There are posts which talk about generic services , make yourself comfortable with the concept of generic services.

  • Workflow could not start in HCM process and Forms

    Hi All
    It would be really helpful if you can suggest possible solution regarding case management case in HCM forms and process.
    I have set up a simple custom HCM process and Form regarding Infotype 2 updation. I have checked the process and form consistency and it seems fine. Now when I run the process from HRASR_DT it generates a process number but it also gives an error workflow could not start.I get following error (SWIA log - Step history)
    Executing flow work item - Transaction brackets of the workflow has been damaged
    Exception occurred - Error when starting work item 000000007031
    PROCESS_NODE - Error when processing node '0000000014' (ParForEach index 000000)

    I have searched few SAP notes such as 1384961 which talks about same error but it is implemented in our system (EA-HR 604 , Patch 27, )
    Appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    Hi Swati
    One of the similar (not exact) issues were resolved by correcting the event linkage....please refer thread:
    http://scn.sap.com/message/14848795#14848795
    Not sure of the details of the the resolution, maybe Ragavendran Kanagaraj can throw more light.
    Just some high level checks (if not done already):
    Check event linkage errors in SWEQADM if anything is related to your WF
    Check in SWEL if it's showing any more details (not sure if it will)
    Any warnings in syntax check of WF template (PFTC) or WF definition (SWDD)
    Any error sin binding
    regards,

  • Adobe HCM Processes and Forms Start processes iView error

    Hi,
    We are implementing Adobe HCM processes. The forms based on the PCR technology are working fine. However, we want the new HCM Processes and Forms technology. We have implemented Business packages for MSS, HR Administrator and XSS (PC_GUI). ADS is configured correctly as the PCR Adobe forms are working fine.
    We want to use the WebDynpro version of HCMPF and NOT the ABAP version. When starting the Start Processes IView (sap.com/paasrprocst) we get the error:

  • Generic service to populate fields in HCM Processes and Forms

    Dear Friends,
      I am developing generic service to populate some fields in HCM Processes and Forms. Please let me know whether i need to develop a single service for each field in the form or is better to write one generic service for all the form fields.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Sapient,
    By right, generic service means to be generic so that it can be re-used in any HCM forms thats needed the field/validation from the generic service.
    Unfortunately in real situation, generic service are not reusable for some reasons:
    - for the same field same field might have different validation in different form.
    - there is dependency, example, to read special field
    The key thing here is all about the design and planing before development. Whereby if you have all the info and requirement HCM form to be implemented(which you wont get it for most of the cases), and you have the overall view of all HCM to be implemented and you are able to plan ahead before coding, then you can design the generic service for each/related field.
    If it is not the case, i would encourage to use 1 generic service for all the field in the HCM form. It would ease the team during support/maintenance phrase as well. For sample, please refer to HRMSSRCF_REQUISITION_ADVANCED for Create Requisition form.
    This is my humble opinion based on my experience working on HCM forms. Please do comments and discuss.
    regards,
    Xiang Li

  • Infotype 0000 Creation using HCM Processes and forms in MSS

    Hi,
    I need to create an Action for Transfer an employee using HCM Processes and Forms. So, my form should update infotype 0000, 0001, 0008 etc.
    But when I provide create operation for infotype 0000, system is throwing short dump. When I change the operation to change nothing was creating in infotype 0000 for that respective employee. Is there any way to update infotype 0000 using HCM Processes and forms. Please help me here.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Nayani.

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for your reply mate.
    I understand that for IT0000 update we don't have to configure it explicitly.We just assign values to MASSG and MASSN and IT0000 should update. I am doing exactly that.
    For the "condition" we do have multiple rules for that and I am familiar about the trickthat the rule fields must be part of the SAP_PA service which is actually making the update. That's all in place and that's working fine.
    Now coming to the problem -
    The "action" is "Return from Career Break" where the only PA infotype that has to be updated is IT0000. Besides that we are updating Absences,IT2001.
    I have tested the process thoroughly and it seems that the system does not allow an IT0000 update without any other PA data change. To test this, I added a PA infotype update in my config and at that time IT0000 got updated beautifully. But when I am trying to update only IT0000, it fails.
    To solve the issue, I had a discussion with my team and we have decided to copy IT0001 along with IT0000. So as of now, we have sorted out a workaround but the technical issue is something I would like to look into.
    If you figure out anything then please let me know.
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks,

  • HCM Process and Forms - Create and End record using the same form scenario

    Hi All,
    I have the following requirement while using HCM Processes and Forms: Using one form/scenario I need to both create a record or be able to end a record for infotype 841. When looking at the back-end service SAP_PA I have operations Create, Change, Change without delimiting and Delete. My requirement would be to do both a create and a delete I guess, but these two can't be selected at the same time while configuring the form scenario.
    I was thinking about doing somethign with the startdate and enddate instead of using the effective date. But I have no clue how to do that.
    How would this be possible?
    Thanks,
    J

    You are correct in assuming that you cannot have a create and delete on the same infotype. The config will not allow it.  Instead, configure the create and then do the delete via a call to you own method in the workflow or via the advanced generic service
    Cheers

  • Execute  HCM Process and Forms on Enterprise Portal ?

    Hi Experts,
    I have done a scenario on Employee Relocation Process with the reference of the  tutorial specified in help.sap.com. [Here's the link|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/fe/1bd54243063658e10000000a155106/frameset.htm] in HCM Processes and Forms
    The following are steps  which i have done so far ....! relevant to that tutorial .
    1) Created ISR Scenario
    2) Created Form Scenario
    3) Created Linkage between ISR and Form Scenarios.
    4) Checked the consistency of the Linked ISR and Form Scenarios. Everything was fine ...
    I have designed the form layout with relevant form fields that are required for the relocation process (HCM Forms)  and created a workflow template with all the required steps specified in the tutorial .

    1) how to test the HCM process ?
    2) In which environments can I test the process ?. Can I test HCM process in Enterprise Portal if yes how  ....?

    Looks like a program error to me.
    Running a system on SAP_ALL to make it work cannot be a solution, so do an ST01 trace to find out which authorization exactly is missing and what is checked before the dump, and consider adding it if appropriate.

  • HCM Process and Forms(HCM P&F) vs Internal Service Request(ISR PCR)

    Dear Experts.
    I am new with Personnel Change Request(PCR) in the portal Self-Service.
    I know that the new technology used for SAP ERP 6.0 is with HCM P&F.
    ISR is used for Realease 4.7(EP 5.0/EP 6.0).
    My question is:
    What requirements need a company for implement the PCR and HCM P&F?
    Where I do the configuration for the PCR and HCM P&F in theCustomizing or T.Code?
    Anyone know a book about the creation of HCM P&F ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Isuue in HCM Process and Forms

    Hi All,
    Before i mention about the issue i am facing i would like to  brief about my process.  In HCM process and forms i have a form where HRPB will modify the position and submit it. CDT will approve the request, which updates the records in back end.
    The whole process i mentioned above was working fine till we upgraded EHP5. But now after the upgrade, i see that when CDT clicks on the send button it does not proceed further. I can see a loading symbol all the time. I even tried setting  break points in the class CL_HRASR00_DISPATCHER, which is not getting called. I don't find the process running in SM50 as well.
    And wanted to mention that this is happening only in QA system  and it is working absolutely fine in DEV. I am sure about all the transports.
    I  appreciate  help on this.
    Thank You,
    Vijetha.

    Hi Paramasivan Krishnan,
    First,  welcome you to SCN forum. However, I am afraid you posted on a wrong forum. Here is dedicate to SAP Business One. Not related to HCM.

  • SAP HCM Processes and Forms (WDABAP) - Implementation Cost

    Hello,
    As many companies are doing, right now we are defining budget for the next year.
    We expect to implement the HCM P&F based on WDABAP in the next FY but although we still don't have to much details on the feasibility or the scope, I need to provide an estimate cost of implementing the solution (licences, if applied, and consulting effort).
    Does anyone here already had the experience with the HCM P&F based on WDABAP and can share the metrics used to estimate the project cost?
    Thanks
    Daniel Kiel

    Well, First of all there are no licensing costs if you have already ESS/MSS, as Adobe P and F only requires licences Costs would come to be on how complex and how many forms you ll implementing? how many would be akin to standard and how much effort will they involve, these things will determine actual costs. refer here on the options you have, http://scn.sap.com/community/erp/hcm/employee-self-service/blog/2012/06/27/hcm-processes-and-forms-with-new-user-interface https://scn.sap.com/community/erp/hcm/blog/2014/03/18/hcm-processes-forms-why-pick-one-form-uiwe-have-options

  • Portal PCR and HCM Process and Forms.

    Hello,
    We have a request from client that they want to use SAP Personal Change Request (PCR) in MSS role.
    So when we tried to configure it, A error was thrown to us as :
    com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.adobe.pdfdocument.base.core.PDFDocumentRuntimeException: Failed to  UPDATEDATAINPDF
    u2026u2026
    Caused by: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.PDFDocumentCreationException: ../../sap.com/msspcr/PcrApplication/wd_key48u2026..
    So after looking for the cause of error we came to know that this requires an ADS (Adobe Document Service) to be activated.
    Now we came to know that it requires some additional licence from SAP (Please verify this statement....if anybody has faced this issue)
    So we now decide to use HCM Process and Forms for our client...
    How ever when we try to access that in portal it says "Resource not Found".
    After looking for the same in SAP help we came to know that it requires some
    Business Package for HR Administrator (SAP ERP)
    HR Administrative Services (PA-AS).
    Now how can I know that whether we have these components already deployed in Portal / R3.
    And if I get them, then will there be again a need for ADS (Adobe Document Service).
    Please comment on the same.
    Thanking you in anticipation.

    Hi Saurabh,
    Yes the error you are getting is for the ADS and interactive forms does have additional licenses for online forms but this totally depends on the package that you use.
    For e.g IF you have SAP E.C.C 6.0 with Ehp4 then there are standard HCM processes and forms available that comes with the package .
    In this case you can check in your sandbox if the sample processes works and verify with SAP for the usage.Since the cost depends on per form per user basis.
    Note :
    For SAP supplied interactive forms, no additional cost.
    As for custom interactive forms, there is an additional cost.
    For checking if HCM processes and forms are available in your system :
    You could go for the t.code HRASR_DT or Configuration of Design Time can be accessed in the IMG under Personnel Management > HR Administrative Services > Configuration of Forms/Process.
    However you need to check with the BASIS and portal guys for roles and authorizations.
    Hope this info helps.
