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.

  • Duplicity in clock-in/out corrections

    Hi experts,
    When i try to contabilizate new clock-in/out and the user is locked, i receive a message telling me that the data has been saved correctly, but that's not true, because if i go to the trx pa30, infotype 2001, i don`t have new clock-in/out corrections saved.
    Later i unlock the user and modifu the hour of the first clock-in/out correction (i.e. 8:00 to 8:02) and i pass to review an save the new data. When i turn back to the clock-in/oot corrections screen, i see a strange efect. The initial clock -in/out correction (8:02) appears four times and in R/3, i have the same clock-in/out correction four times repeated too.
    The SP in portal and R/3 is the last.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Dear Victor,
    The Clock In/Out application, data is stored temporarily in a table before they are posted in the infotype. When you created the ClockIn four times, it was saved in the intermediate database. Thats when the application gave the information that 'Your data has been saved'. At a later point of time these data are considered for posting in the infotype when the report RPTCORPOST runs. If the pernr is locked, the postings will not happen and the records will be in the status 'ERROR'. On the next run of the RPTCORPOST will consider the 'error' records also for posting. If the pernr is unlocked this time, the data will be posted in the infotype.
    I hope this clarifies your doubt.

  • Work flow in clock-in clock-out correction

    Hi guys,
    my clock-in clock-out is configured to have a approval process. The standard workflow "12300111" is assigned to the "WF ID New Clock-In/Out Entries" parameter for the clock-in clock-out correction. When i execute the report RPTCORDBVIEW it shows me the status of the WF item as been "started", but some how it does not turn up in MAnagers inbox even after a while.
    The same WF when attched to leave request runs fine. Has any one faced this issue before. Myself not been pretty familiar with workflow am clueless as to what the issue coulc. 
    Any suggestions.

    Hi Raj,
    Isnt this workflow WF12300111 'The General Workflow for Documents'? As per help.sap.com, this is the workflow we should be using for Clock In/ Out Corrections , besides Leave Request.
    I am facing the same error..ie The workflow is trigerred, but the text says 'Approve Leave request" in Manager's inbox. In fact, there is no standard screen for approving the clock In/ Out corrections in webdynpro.
    Have you made use of any other workflow instead?
    Any inputs on the same would be greatly appreciated?

  • Error in Clock-In/Out Corrections Application

    Hi All,
      when i try to access the Clock-In/Out Corrections Application i am getting the below error.
    Can anyone help me to fix the above issue??
    Regards,
    Mahesh

    Yes, your just trying with some digits which will not exist. As I mentioned in my previous reply you put the cursor in that field and press F4 key, it will show all existed pernr details.
    Other wise just click on round button in that field. See below screen shots.
    Click on Continue
    Select employee number and double click or click on continue.
    Assign your user ID as I mentioned in previous post in IT 0105 and subtype 0001.

  • 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 corrections using ESS

    Hi,
    When we change the Time data using Clock-in, Clock-out corrections in ESS, it is not appearing in 2011 (Teven table).  When will this, gets updated to the table and  is there any tiem limit set for the updation ??
    Thanks & Regards,

    On ESS, there will be optoin to run Time evaluation. Generally the update happens after the Time eval.
    If this helps, pl do reward.

  • 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

  • Clock-in/out Correction Approvals

    Hi all,
    We implemented ESS 1.0 on Netweaver 2004s with backend ECC 6.0, now In ESS configuration guide document it says that Wofkflow for
    ESS and Clock-in/out corrections is General Workflow for Documents, however when i used the workflow for Time corrections the work item appearing in the inbox points to the leave approval application, which is a table with leave types and dates is opened, my question is 
    why is the workitem in UWL not displaying the changes in time corrections ?
    Did i miss something ?
    Regards,
    Ahmed Salah

    Ahmed,
    Did you figure out as to why the entry is not visible in the UWL. I am also facing the same problem. As a matter of fact this is not aviaialable in the backend as well.?

  • Clock in out correction error in ESS

    Dear Experts,
    We are getting very strange error in clock in out correction application in ess
    When we are trying to make new clock in/out entry within 2hours of system it gives us error " The date of the correction is outside the permitted processing period".
    Example: If system time is 14:30pm and if we are entering correction entry of 12:30pm system is not accepting it. But if we enter 11:30am on same date, it accept that entry without any error.
    We checked background config node related to define period for clock in out correction and retroactive processing permitted period.
    Its all fine, but we dont know from where we are getting above error.
    Please guide us.
    Plz help.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Clock in out Correction

    Hi Gurus,
       How to implement Portal Clock in/out correction for substitutions. For present normal clock in/out corrections is working properly but substitutions is not working. Can any one pleas explain how to implement for substitutions?
    Thanks,
    SC

    the approval for clock in done by Rptcorapp ie via backend
    usually, If the manager is absent for more than 14 days, the request is forwaded to the substitute this is in standard
    also you can enhance the badi if you like
    The determination of whether the approver is absent or not is done in
    the BADI implementation of
    PT_GEN_REQ->IF_EX_PT_GEN_REQ~CHECK_IF_ACTOR_ABSENT. You may have to
    enhance this method to take into consideration for employees who do not
    have IT0007 record.
      The place where the checking is done is in
    CL_DEF_IM_PT_GEN_REQ->IF_EX_PT_GEN_REQ~START_WF
    copy all the methods of standard badi into your implementation and then implement the BADI.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
