ESS - benefits

We are setting up the ESS --> benefits --> Participation overview. Would like to know if the data/screen fields displayed in the participation overview (after picking up a plan in the radio button) can be controlled. In othe words, I am looking at the IMG config for ESS --> benefits but don't see any node where the participation overview related information can be controlled/configured.
Basically would like to know where all this is happening and if needed how can the screen data/fields be managed.
Thanks,
Mark

I doubt if there is such an option in IMG..Have you checked <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/2007/07/17/EnhanceStandardESSPersonalInformationUIwithout+modification">this</a>

ESS Benefits Generic Enrollment - Different behavior backend v/s portal

We are using the ESS Benefits generic enrollment service for enrollment kicking off the adjustment reasons on IT 0378.
Here is the configuration set up, trying to simplify to explain the matter. We are on ECC 6.0 with EHP2.
1. Configured one plan type in savings category.
2. Within this plan type, configured 2 plans.
3. Configured all other related configuration to set up the 2 plans.
4. Configured the adjustment reason and the appropriate plan type created in step 2.
5. Created the required adjustment reason on 378.
In HRBEN0001 transaction via backendwe can see the 2 plans configured within the plan type.
But when Trying to enroll from ESS - only one plan can be seen for that plan type, the other plan is not shown at all.
OK - eventually, debugged and found this piece of code in FM HR_BEN_ESS_FILL_SELECTION_DISP. The 2 different plans are there until this piece of code takes one of them Off...
CODE -
3.) Reduce entries to one entry per type and period
delete adjacent duplicates from selection_display_gt
    comparing pernr
              barea
              bpcat
              pltyp
              begda
              sprps.
CODE -
This FM is called only for ESS application and not for backed program.
What we do not understand is why is it behaving differntly on backend v/s portal.
Any information or experience with this form any one of you will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Siddharth,
Thanks for your reply. Yes ESS has its own FMs. The UI, user exits, BADIs etc are different for backend v/s front end.
What we are not clear with, is the different behavior in core functionality -- i.e. When the adjustment reason is processed from the backend using HRBEN0001 - The 2 plans within the Plan Type are available for elections. BUT the same adjustment reason for the same penr when processed from ESS - there is just one plan available for elections.
It's clear from the code, that it is deleting one plan and this code is within the FM which is called only from ESS. But we are still not sure why it should behave differently i.e. 2 plans via backend v/s one plan via ESS.
Wanted to see if anyone can share any information if they have a similar benefits set up .. 2 plans within one plan type FOR savings plan category and then having a adjustment reason set up.
Regards.

Hi Siddharth & Jwala,
the issue got fixed, by changing the order of Payment above the Benefits
1. i made some options to be disabled & enabled in both benefits and payment
2. Then in the portal i could see the benefits and payment
3. inside the benefits & payment i was able to see two option 1 is for benefits & other is for payment
4. we only wanted payment functionality to be displaying
5. so i tried to hide the benefits then noting was getting displayed in the portal
6. finally i changed the order of the payment just above the benefits
then then i was able to see the benefits and payment inside that i was able to see the payment where i was able to see the payslip
i am not sure what i have done but i is working but please let me know what the problem was actually
Regards

"Edit Personal Profile" - ESS Benefits

Hi
We have a requirement to open the "Edit Personal Profile" in ESS Benefits "New Hire Enrollment" (GAF) in place rather opening in external window. I changed the property in the launchpad ESS/MENU for the "Personal Profile" under Benefits Enrollment to Force Inplace or Inplace but it is not taking effect in portal. Still opens in the external window. Am I missing something or it is handled by the code? Any suggestions would help.
Thanks, Raj

typically its meant to launch a new window 1926925 - READ_ONLY_PERSONAL_PROFILE in ESS Benefit Enrollment WDA its coded in the code, so above changes wont take effect in ESS/MENU Webdynpro component:HRESS_C_BEN_ENRL_CONFIG met:ON_EDITCLICK ls_parameter-value = 'EXTERNAL'. change it to ls_parameter-value = 'EXT_HEAD' in both the places. check here if you can get more information on this http://scn.sap.com/thread/3508230

Hi,
Employee assigned Payroll area (refere to IT0001- Org Assignment) not moved into prd Payperiods. And as per you Payroll area assigned to "00", Ask your payroll consultant assign payroll area period parameters and generate periods through T.code "OG00"
Issue is with T549Q..

ESS: Benefits: OPEN ENROLMENT NOT VISIBLE in ESS

Hi Gurus,
This is regarding a SAP HR implementation for US.
Open Enrollment Service is giving a dump with error
u201CNo Correct Adjustment Reason Specifiedu201D.
Following has been checked, still unable to view it in ESS.
u2022     Employees are configured for running Open Enrollment for employees.
u2022     Employees are assigned to appropriate PA and PSA. Country grouping for both the employees is USA: 10.
u2022     Maintained appropriate data in Infotype 0171(General Benefits Information). Correct benefit program grouping is done for both employees ie maintained first and second program grouping for both employees.
u2022     Maintained Benefit Adjustment Reasons for both the employee i.e. Infotype 0378(Adjustment Reason Data).
u2022     Maintained Open Enrollment Offer for employees between 09.13.2008 and 10.13.2008. (MM/DD/YYYY).
u2022     Program HRBEN001 is running correctly in backend. Both employees are able to choose different benefit plans during the open enrollment period.
u2022     User is having SAP_ALL authorizations.
u2022     Resources and Services are correctly defined and linked in the backend.
u2022     HR_BEN_ESS_RFC_ENRO_REASONS is a SAP defined function module to fetch benefit data from Benefit module and post it to ESS internal tables. Testing it in the background using transaction se37 gives correct results in the backend. It is displaying Open Enrollment as one of the Benefit Reasons.
Kindly help with any pointers at the earliest.
Thanks & Regards

ESS Benefits Participation overview print form HRESS_BEN_CONF

Hi
We are trying to use the print form HRESS_BEN_CONF for benefits participation overview. However, when clicking on the print icon, a pop-up comes out with no pdf form. HRESS_BEN_CONF exists in SFP but not showing up on ESS. Configurations all look ok.
Is there any checks thats to be done?
Thanks

in Standard it will point to SAPScript form HR_BEN_CONF.
You can change this to point to Adobe Form.
Maintain the form name HRESS_BEN_CONF and check the ADOBE radiobutton in table V_74HL_1

ESS Benefits open enrollment - Issue

Hi,
When we click on the benefits open enrollment link, we do not want some of the plans to be displayed to the ess user. Is there any way to control it ( SPRO or BAdI ).
Env - EP 7.0, ECC6.0
Thanks,
Ravi

I posed the same question to an ESS consultant who responded with the following:
"The plans presented in benefits enrollment (PZ14) and Participation Overview (PZ07) are list output from ABAP. You can go into the program and select or exclude some of them based on certain criteria. I've seen customers extend the Plan infotype to add a flag field to make it configurable to show, not show a given plan."
Since specific instructions weren't given, I wouldn't consider the issue answered.
However, I can provide the following work around:
Due to the fact that different populations have different open enrollment period timeframes, and all populations have been configured under one benefit area...we decided to create an "Open Enrollment Adjustment Reason" for each group instead. Thus, the Adjustment Reason permissions will only display the plans we want the employee to see via ESS. Prior to the open enrollment period for the population, we will run the Mass Adjustment Reason report to create IT378 for all relevant employees. The OE offer will appear as another Adjustment Reason under the Enrollment service in ESS.

Issue with Open Enrolment Link in ESS - Benefits

Hi Experts,
We are facing two issues with open Enrolment Link in ESS for benefits, Need your help in resolving this. Please find the details below :
1. Benefits cost is not appearing in open enrolment Screen
Details : Monthly Contribution cost is not appearing against the Benefits Plan for which employees are already enrolled in Open Enrolment Screen, Because of this employees are not able see previous contribution before deciding on contribution amount for next Financial Year.
2. URL for Benefits plan Gets disappeared in Open enrolment Screen
Details : When Contribution is removed for any Benefits Plan the corresponding URL link disappears, But this comes up when the page is refreshed.
Could you please let us know if this is related to missing configuration or Java webdynpro code.
Our Live system is ECC6.0 SP level A4 , Please let me know if you need more details.Looking forward for your response.
Regards,
Shilpa

In regards to your first question, it could be a date issue for the infotype record. If the records for open enrollment are set to be effective for a future date, and the current record is delimited, then you won't see it in the open enrollment screen. This is true for benefits like a flex account because they have to be re-elected every plan year.
Let's say that any elections made in the current open enrollment period you are in take effect June 1, 2014. If the current record has an end date before June 1, then in the enrollment screen the employee will not see the current record because SAP is looking at June 1.
Take a look at the employee's record and at the benefit you want them to see and see what the end date is for the most recent record.

Ess Benefits Confirmation Statement

Hello,
I am on NW04s ECC6.0 and trying to display Benefits Confirmation statement in ESS and also the Open Enrollment Benefits Confirmation statement ...and have certain questions regarding it
1) Are these Adobe or Smart Forms in the backend ?
2) Which is the ESS Application pointing to these forms.?
3) How can we make changes to these statements like changing text ,removinf fields etc.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

There is WebDynpro Java application
sap.com/ess~ben/BenefitsApplication which is used for this.. you can get your changes done in same application.
To make any change in this application you need to have NWDI configuration in place.. if you need help on NWDI setup please let me know.
Hope this helps.

ESS - Benefits - Open enrollment (Concurrent employment is enabled)

We are trying to set up ESS open enrollment. After adding/editing/changing plans --> review enrollment --> Save.
On saving, getting an error "rfc_error_system_failure" on the ESS screen.
Checked with ST22 for the error details. The name of runtime error is "uncaught exception" and the exception is "CX_HRPA_VIOLATED_PRECONDITION".
Based on a Similar thread on the forums --> Link : [Re: CX_HRPA_VIOLATED_PRECONDITION using HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to insert rec; and Sap note # 493984 , the error seems to be related with concurrent empoyment.
Analysis:
1. If CE is disabled, there is no error - open enrollment works fine both in R/3 (HRBEN0001) and via ESS
2. If CE is enabled," open enrollment" in R/3 using HRBEN0001 - there is no error.
3. Error occurs only when "open enrollment" is accessed through ESS, when CE is enabled.
Would like to know if some one can share their experience on using ESS open enrollment when CE is switched on?
Version details: ECC 6.0 (support pack level 22 for SAP-HR and EA-HR), EP 7.0 , ESS BP 1.0
Thanks,
Javed.

Reg:- Customization of ESS Benefits Enrollment Overview page

Hi All,
I have a requirement to customize the Overview page of Add/Change Dependants and Benefeciaries. I need to change the text of the buttons, "New Father", "New Mother", "New Child" and "New Emergency Contact". I have imported the ESS Business Package into NWDS.
The problem is, I do not know the exact DC used to make changes to these changes. Can someone help me on the same? Please provide me the DC which is being referenced in this scenario.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Pavithra,
Youc an use the FPM view to edit the texts of buttons. Just Go to the iview where you want to change the text in Content ADMIN--> Portal Content. Right click and preview it. After previewing use CTRL+Right Click by focusing on the button. There you can change the name of button.
