Approve/Reject Working Time through the Enterprise Portal Workflow

Hey Everyone,
We are currently working on a project to rollout a number new portal services.  I was wondering if anyone in ECC or Portal has experience with enhancing the Time Entry Approval process.  Is it possible to trigger an email notification when a manager rejects an employees time for any of the configured reasons.  I would like an email back to the email to let them know they should change their hours or that their overtime was rejected.  I have been spoiled by the deeper config options available for Leave Request.
In the standard workflow task the Item does turn red when rejected, but if employees aren't reviewing their entries they may never know it was rejected before they check their pay stubs.
I would be pretty surprised if the BADI or workflow task would be unable to know there was a rejection because it clearly asks you for a rejection reason and changes the colour of the request in the Record Working Time screen.
Thank you in advance,
Doug

Sid,
I believe we are or have looked into RSWUWFML2, but I will confirm.
After trying a number of different options we are currently looking at using the Rejection check-box and determine if BASIS can redirect the messages to the employee's IT0105 subtype 0010 email address.
Here are some of the notes we have looked at.

I wish Record Working Time had similar config to Leave Request.  If you have additional input please let me know.

  • 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.

  • Collective approval of working Time

    Collective Approval of Working Time iview displays list off EE's by pernr. I would like to display the name also, next to the pernr. Can anyone point me to the correct path? I have looked at the ECC MSS config and made changes for the formatted name of employee to appear. Is this a Portal change to the iview?
    Help appreciated.

    Hi guys,
    This can be configured if you set the approval criterion to be the Personnel Number and select the option "With description column".
    It has worked for me at least.

  • BW Workbook as an iView in the Enterprise Portal

    I keeping getting a dialog box asking to select the appropriate program to open the workbook. When I select .xls it opens, and it shows the parameters I entered and not the workbook. The customer is on NW04 Stack 11.
    I followed ever step on help.sap.com site as listed below.
    BW workbooks are MS Excel workbooks with one or more embedded BW queries. You are able to display these workbooks in the Enterprise Portal as iViews.
    Features
    Workbooks are displayed in a separate MS Excel window. Opening workbooks within the Web browser window is not possible for technical reasons.
    BW workbooks require the BEx Analyzer, which requires a local installation of the SAP GUI for Windows with the BW front end.
    SAP recommends that you use BEx Web applications in the Enterprise Portal that run completely in the Web browser.
    You can use the function Export as Excel 2000 File from the BW Web application context menu as an alternative to using a local installation of the BW front end if you require Excel functions. See Context Menu Functions  and Exporting as a CSV File/Excel 2000 File.
    An iView with a workbook can be generated using the Portal Content Studio or Role Upload. For more information, see Generating Content from SAP BW for the Enterprise Portal.
    The iViews are of type SAP Transaction iView and have the code link com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction.
    The most important properties are System, Transaction (TCODE) and ApplicationParameter.
    ·The System property contains the alias on the BW system (see Creating BW Systems in the  Portal).
    ·The transaction code for every workbook is RRMXP.
    ·The value WBID= is in the ApplicationParameter property.
    You can determine the workbook ID with the BEx Analyzer:
    a. Open the desired workbook.
    b. In the BEx toolbar, choose ® OLAP Functions for Active Cells ® Properties. The Information tab page contains the Workbook ID (Server).
    Note that with BW workbooks as an iView, the AutoStart property contains the value True (process first screen) and the GuiType property contains the value WinGui.
    Anyone have a solution for this to work?
    Thanks,
    -Eli

    Dear Rasmesh,
    Please try to do this suggestion:
    3. How can I use SAP Application Integrator to access SAP transactions?
    There are two different ways to use the SAP Application Integrator transaction iView. In both cases please use a URL like 'irj://com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.Transaction' followed by your custom parameters like '?System=DEV&TCode=SE38&GuiType=WinGui &WinGui_Type=Shortcut&OkCode=SHOP'.
    The parameters are:
    System [mandatory]
    TCode [mandatory]
    GuiType (=WinGui / WebGui / JavaGui) [mandatory]
    WinGui_Type (=Shortcut ..if you want to launch the GUI in a new window)
    OkCode (The OkCode that you would like to be executed after the transcation is called by SAP GUI.)
    ApplicationParameter (Pass these values to your screen fields which needs to be be separated by
    AutoStart (true / false)
    UseSPO1 (true / false)
    For a complete list of parameters please consult http://help.sap.com.

  • How to bind an IIS to the enterprise portal installed on a linux machine

    Dear all,
    I am very new to the topic of Enterprise Portal.
    Our intention is, to develop .NET IViews and deploy them in the Enterprise Portal.
    The Enterprise Portal Server is set up on a linux machine.
    The Guy who did install the Portal Server, has no idea how to "integrate" the Microsoft IIS to the Portal.
    After deploying my .net Component, i tried to view this component in the portal (by right clicking the mouse on the Component in in the .NET Solutions Explorer).
    This gives me the following error:
    Portal Runtime Error
    An exception occured while processing a request for:
    iView:N/A
    Component Name: N/A
    Could not find portal application com.sap.portal.dotnet.framework.
    Exception id: 02:06.......
    See the details for the exception ID in the log file
    I think that this has something in common with integrating the IIS on the Linux Machine, and maybe additionaly installing the pdk.net on the IIS webserver machine which should be used.
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Welcome to the world of Enterprise portal
    Seems to me like you are trying to use the PDK for .NET. If so - Please read the overview section in the documentation to get a general idea of how it works (for example - IIS is not used at all!).
    See the Visual Studio integrated help or click this https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/dotnet/index.htm
    there go to "Getting Started" and mostly "Overview".
    Anyway, It seems like the problem is that you didn't deploy the 2 required SDA's to the portal. You should also take a look at the "installation and configuration" guide. Download it here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/dotnet.sdn?contenttype=url&content=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/pdk for .net administrator guides.zip

  • Windows Applications in the Enterprise Portal

    Hi all,
    we have EP 6.0 SP10 based on NW04 installed.
    Is there any possibility to integrate Windows Apllications
    (Windows 'exe' files) in the Enterprise Portal.
    Best regards

    With LaunchInIE you use JavaScript to launch the actual applications. What we do is write a Java iView that contains links (we use icons) to programs installed locally on each machine. When the user clicks a link (icon) we run the JavaScript that opens the locally installed 'exe' file.
    If you have a look at the WhirlyWiryWeb link posted earlier you can see how to use LaunchInIE.
    The downside to this is that the .dll has to be installed on each machine and the registry (for each machine) has to be maintained.
    You can just write a java iView that has links to locally installed exe's (file://C:/myfolder/myexe.exe) if you like but that will result in a security warning each time. LaunchInIE stops the security warning.

  • Difference between using the Enterprise Portal and SAP GUI

    Hi Gurus,
    Could one of you please send me a document that lists the differences between the Enterprise Portal and SAP GUI?
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    For groups, managedBy is an administrative convenience to designate “group admins”. Whatever principal listed in
    managedBy gets permission to update a group’s membership (the actual security is updated on the group’s AD object to allow this).
    In Win2008 and later managedBy also became the way you delegated local administration on an RODC, allowing branch admins to install patches, manage shares, etc. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755310(WS.10).aspx). 
    On the RODC, this is updating the RepairAdmin registry value within RODCRoles.
    So the difference between them should be only the way they do the same thing.

  • Which licenses do I need for the Enterprise Portal from Dynamics AX R2 2012

    Dear Community,
    some time ago i heard about the Enterprise Portal, which requires a SharePoint 2013 and a Dynamics AX R2 2012 Server.
    My company has a fully licensed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Server and enough CALs. We also have a Dynamics AX 2009 Server running. 
    Now to my question: What licenses are needed to get a Enterprise Portal with Dynamics AX 2012?
    Thanks for your responses.
    Sincerely ShareBear9280

    Hi ShareBear,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know which licenses needed for the Enterprise Portal from Dynamics AX 2012 R2.
    There are 4 types of user CALs in Dynamics AX 2012 R2 - Enterprise, Functional, Task, and Self Serve. The number of CALs needed is related to who these users are and what they do.
    More information, please refer to the link:
    http://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33/t/114710.aspx
    For this issue, I recommend you can post your question to the forum for Microsoft Dynamics AX: 
    http://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/33.aspx .More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to Microsoft Dynamics AX.
    Thank you for your understanding and support.
    Thanks,

  • How to create a portlet through the hosted portal service?

    Hi!
    I'm currently working with Release 2, Portal Version 9.0.2.2.14.
    I read that it is possible to create a portlet (eg. survey portlet) through the hosted portal serviced (portal.oracle.com). How can I do this?

    The easiest way to provide search on just pages (not content areas) would be to crawl portal pages just like static pages. We have search partners on http://portalcatalog.oracle.com/ that can help you w/ this.

  • Approval of Working Times tasks show in UWL and shouldn't

    Our employees use ESS to record their working time and the managers use MSS to approve that time.  Occasionally the task Approval of Working Times, along with the sender date, name and a Cats attachment, appears in the managers UWL which makes it look like someone has time to be approved however, we do not go to the UWL to approve time.  If this task is clicked on in the UWL a u201CService cannot be reached HTTP 404 u2013 Not foundu201D error is thrown.  The send date of this task does correspond with a date when the employee entered time in ESS which the manager approved a few days later in MSS.  So it appears that occasionally but not regularly or in any sort of pattern, time workflows to both MSS where the managers approve it and to the UWL where we donu2019t want it and sits there and drives the managers crazy.  (Managers do go to the UWL to approve PCRs.)  We have checked the workflow log and cannot see a split.  How do we prevent the time approval from routing to the UWL?

    Hi,
    For me it seems that the the workflow should be turned off. There are ways to disable tasks from UWL, etc. (to not show them), but I would definately take a look to the CATS configurations in SPRO (unfortunately I don't remember the exact path, but it should not be too difficult to find). Basically there is place where you define that which workflow task is send to the manager when the employee releases the timesheet. You can perhaps remove this task from the configuration or perhaps there is some checkbox or something where you can turn of the workflow or whatever. Take look to this first. If you have CATS/HR people on your site, they will probably know what I am talking about.
    Another perhaps good option could be that you do certain configurations for UWL and then the CATS approval application is opened when the managers click the item in UWL -. but I would first try to prevent the work item to be sent to the workflow at all, if it should not be sent there at the first place.

    Karri
