Clock in Clock out correction in ESS

Hello everyone,
We are running on portal 7.02 and ECC600.
We have EA-HR 605 in ECC and ERP2005 EHP3 in portal
We have configured UWL in portal.
In R3, program RPTCORAPP has been called by our custom transaction. All the workflow and task related activities are done as required.
In SWFVISU the task id is maintained with following details
APPLICATION WTimeCor
PACKAGE sap.com/ess~wtcor
In R3 system for every clock in clock out request generated, R3 system allows to accept or reject the same.
However portal doesn't provide the functionality of accepting or rejecting the correction.
Any correction done in the backend is however getting reflected in the portal.
Can anyone suggest as to how the R3 system's functionality can be made available in portal.
Regards,
Pooja M

Clock-in Clock-out correction in ESS BP 1.0 2004s sp9

hi guys,
The clock-in clock-out correction application from XSS(ESS-MSS) looks to be incomplete from a process view. In the ESS application I can see that ther eis an aplication for Employees to change clock-in clock-outs. But ther eis no approval mechansim assocaited to it. When i assign a WF to the PRocess in the customization, the request goes and sits in the MWW UWL, but the manager does not ahev an opitio to actuall approve it or reject it from UWL. I do not see any web dynpro application for the approval mechanism as we see for the leave request approval mechanism.
The documentation also never says that manager can approve from the web.
Am i missing anything here or is this the general process that Managers have to approve from the backend and no topiton to approve from MSS.
It would be silly to explain to managers that they have to access UWL to approve leave and log on to R/3 to approve clock-in clock-out corrections.
Please let me know if i am m issing anyuthing here.
regards
sam

hi all
The documentation provided by SAP is misleading. SAP is in process of correcting the same. if you are looking at implemeting the workflow for clock in/out correction please follow the steps mentined below.
We have done this and it successfully works.
Description : Clock in/ out correction service under employee self service has a facility to use the worklfow but there is no workflow available that can be readily used. SAP advises to copy the standard leave workflow (WS12300111) and use the same. There is an approval program available (Transaction PTCOR -> Approve Docuement) for administrator. Using the same program we will be creating an approval workflow.
1. Create a custom transaction calling report program RPTCORAPP and selection screen 1000.(ZPT_APPROVE)
2. Create another custom transaction(Z_APPROVE_CLINOUT) with following code.
Call transaction ZPT_APPROVE AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
3. Using transaction sw01 create an object where call the above tranasaction.
4. Create a custom task with the above object and method (STEP 3) (There will be no parameter passed between the task container and the workflow as we are calling a transaction only)
5. Create Copy of WS12300111 using transaction SWDD.
6. Delete the step Process Request by Employee (TS12300116) from copied workflow.
7. In the copied workflow in the Approval process instead of standard approval task use the custom task created in step 4.
8. Activate the customized workflow.
9. Under spro config please follow the link Personnel Management -> Employee Self-Services-> Service Sepcific Settings-> working time ->Clock in\out Corrections-> Processing Processes -> Define Processing Processes
Under workflow template select the checkbox Use SAP Business Workflow.
Provide the number of Custom Workflow activated in Step 8 in the following fields.
WF ID New Clock-In/Out Entries
WF ID for Deletion of Entries
WF ID: Changed Clock-In/Out Entries
Once you are done with this process then on entering the clock in/ out time the workflow will be received by the next agent defined in the rule / expression that is used in workflow.
The output will work according to the report(RPTCORAPP) if in case there is any need to make change then a copy of the classes can be created that are used in the approval report and customization can be achieved.

ESS Clock in - Clock Out

Dear Experts,
Can we use ess for clock in clock out as a substitute or complementary to external time recording machine?
I know that ess have Clock in Clock out iview, but i believe its for correcting wrong entry not for making entry. Please advice on this matter.
Best Regards

You could create a custom iview to allow employees to 'clock in/out' if you wished.
I have gotten a developer to do this for me at one customer and isn't hard to do. Or you could use CATS iview for ESS employees to record their start and end times of work in. Just depends on what you want to do with the captured data?
Cheers,
Brad

Doubt Clock-In/Clock-Out Corrections

Hi,
We are implementing ESS/MSS on EHP5.
I have a doubt when configuring Clock in/Clock out corrections. In SPRO "Clock-In/Clock-Out Corrections->Define Processing Processes", I left checked only the option "Corrections Have to Be Approved".
So I started the tests. I logged on with ESS user, made a correction e saved. After that I logged on POWL with the MSS user (who is the managet of the employee whose made de correction) and the entry was there. I approved, run the report RPTCORPOST and the entry was saved in TEVEN (IT 2011) table. That was perfect!!!
I went throught the second test, now with manager performing the correction for his employee. I logged with MSS user, selected the employee, made the correction and saved. In my mind, if the manager is correcting a clock-in/clock-out, it should be approved automatically. So, I run the report RPTCORPOST and the entry wasn´t saved in TEVEN (IT 2011) table. I thougth that weird, and i decided to check if the entry could be in POWL. I went to POWL and the entry was there, waiting to be approved.
The question is: Shouldn´t the entry be automatically approved when the manager performs a correction for his employees?
Thanks
Bruno

Hi Siddharth,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I will notifiy my customer that this behaviour is an enhance.
As a suggestion for the future ESS/MSS version, the solution could allow setup this configuration.
Thank you again.

Clock in clock out corrections error

Hi;
We have implemented ESS/MSS.
We have employees from 4 companies accessing the portal.
Employees of 3 companies can do their clock in clock out corrections properly.But the employees of the 4th company get a dump when they click on the clock in clock out link.
The error is as follows:
The current application triggered atermination with a short dump,error key:RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE.
Can any one help us with this?

Agreed with the other poster, please include details from your system dumps ST22 and SM21 logs. In addition inspect the NWA logs on the java stack to determine route failure.
Given that you have only 1 group terminating on RFC calls, it may be that this group does not have sufficient authorisation to leverage the RFC call or it may be that they use different EP System objects (should you have split EP roles) that are not configured correctly in EP. Hard to be correct since I am flying blind, but may be worth checking out.

Clock-in clock-out process

Hi guys,
WRT to ESS MSS what is the clock-in clock-out process.
We are nw2004s SP9. We see the clock-in clock-out corrections ESS application. But we do not find any approval mechanism for the same in UWL for the manger. Though a work item is generated when clicked it opens the leave request approval web dynpro application.
What do we do to set up the approval mnechanism for managers through UWL?

Clock-in Clock-out corrections - change existing entry

Hi,
The employee's clock-in clock-out records are updated from the time recording terminal to Infotype 2011 via an interface. Now, when we try to use the SAP's clock-in clock-out corrections application to change the existing clock-in or clock-out time for any particular day, the application is not giving the date and time fields to change. However, when we create a new clock-in clock-out entry from ess, we are able to change the date and time for that entry but not for any entry that is transferred from the time recording terminal.
Any idea if the standard application can be used to change existing clock-in clock-out record or how can this scenario be met in ESS?
Thanks,
Deepa Balani

to ensure entries can be changed refer customisation in table V_PTCOR_WFATTR.
SPRO->Personell Managment->ESS->Service Specific Settings->CLOK in CLock
out Corrections->Processing Processes->Define Processing Process's docu
ment which reads:
Define Processing Processes (V_PTCOR_WFATTR)
this should be unchecked
Clock-In/Out Entries Cannot Be Changed
Specifies whether employees are permitted to change original clock-in/out postings (time events in the TEVEN table).
Note:
Time events that have been processed by a time administrator in the Time Events infotype (2011) cannot be changed or deleted in the Web application. >>>>>>>>>>> note this so you cant change, of course one can change already entered ESS time entries
This is a clock in clock corrections application where
in you can correct the Clock ins but cannot delete
the times entered through the terminal, but can
delete those corrections done through the application
itself. So in your case you can see
the difference, this application is not meant to
replace the recording terminal but to enhance it

Workflow for Clock-in clock-out

Hi Experts,
Can we use the standard workflow 12300111 for the clock in clock out service of the ESS??
If we create the our own workflow for this service do we require to use task 12300097??
Please answer my queries.
Thanks
Sameer Dhuke

do we require to use task 12300097
This is necessary for the Approval! But you can do the approval via ESS for clock in /out using standard
You need to use the custom WF
The specified item was not found.

Multiple Clockin/Clock entries are allowed in ESS

Dear All,
We are configuring Clock in/Clock out for our ESS.
We are able to create multiple clock in/Clock out entries through ESS, though we wanted to only one pair of entries for clock in/clock out.
Is there any way we can restrict users to enter multiple requests for same day.
eagerly waiting for your inputs.

Sudhir

Hi Sudhir, - Can you please explain the issue. I am unable to understand the problem.

Doubt Clock-In/Clock-Out Approval

Hi,
We are using POWL inbox to approve clock in/clock out corrections.
I would like to know if it´s normal when clicking on the links of the column "Type of Correction" it doesn´t happen anything.
Follow a image regarding it

Thanks,
Bruno

Clock in/out corrections approval has been developed and is present in
MSS addon 1.0 and not in ESS Ehp5.
In the MSS addon 1.0 we have a new query for processing clock in/out
corrections approval, similar to the leave request scenario. Also, we
have Webdynpro ABAP CICO approval detail screen where in the manager can
view the details of the CICO correction and could process the
requests(Approval/Reject). He could also navigate between the Clock
in/out requests using the Next and Previous buttons.
We recommend you to implement the MSS addon 1.0.
Regarding other enhancements provided in the MSS addon 1.0, please
refer to the note 1588625.
are you a ramp up customer for MSS ADD ON?
Please note to install this S/W component there are a few pre-requisites
that your Ehp5 system has to be at.
   Software Component SAP_BASIS 702 SP07
   Software Component SAP_ABA 702 SP07
   Software Component SAP_BS_FND 702 SP05
   Software Component WEBCUIF 701 SP04
   Software Component SAP_HR 6.04 SP035
   Software Component EA_HR 6.05 SP012
If you want to get to ramp up, Please let me know
If not you need to use RPTCORAPP for approval!

How to delete the messages in clock-in/clock-out

Hi All,
I need to delete the messages in clock-in/clock-out which are appearing in portal, to delete this messages is there any report at R/3 side kindly suggest me help me in this
waiting for your responses .....
Regards,
Shilpa.

you can run the report RPUP1D00 for the periods that you need to delete
the messages without any problems, but please read the documentation
carefully before starting.
Please note, that RPTERR00 always reports ALL errors. It does not matter
in which period they appeared. Please destinguish between errors and
notes.
The errors which appear during a time evaluation run are stored in table
ERT in cluster B1 and in table FEHLER in cluster B2 are intended to
store and display those errors as long as the errors are not corrected.
If you don't want these errors to be displayed any more you either have
to correct the errors or you must delete Cluster B1 via report RPUP1D00.
The old NOTES are transferred from the ERT/B1 to FEHLER/B2 with each
subsequent run of time evaluation.
Your time administrators should normally work with PT40 and confirm
'I' messages or correct errors by using the error handling.
This report can be run like this
Relation ID   'B1'
Sort field    Pers.no. (eight-digit)
Delete?       X
