ESS Record Working Time BAPI name?

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me the BAPI name used in standard ESS- Record working time.
Many thanks
Rizwan

Put a RFC trace through transaction ST05 and run the Record working time application.
You can see it yourself which RFC is being called.
Thanks

ESS: Record working time - employee name and number

Hi All,
I'd like to display the employee number and name in the Record working time screen.
Please help me with the configuration I need to do in IMG or on the portal side.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajit
Points will be awarded.

Hi Siddharth,
On the General Information page, there's a Related Activity iview which contains a link for Record Working Time.
A manager can select an employee in the Data View and then can click on the Record Working Time link which opens up that emp's time sheet.
In such a case, display of employee number and name is very useful and I'm trying to solve this.
In IMG's "Define Field Selection" -> Data entry section, there are employee number and name fields that I set for the data entry profile. But they are not displayed in the portal.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Rajit

Time Constraints on ESS - Record Working Time and Leave Request

Hi All,
I have configured Time Constraints and their reaction in V_T554Y.
When I record the appropriate combination of Attendances and Absences in back-end, I can see the reactions as specified... However, when I try to do the same in ESS - Recording Working Time and Leave Request, I do not see that Time Constraints taking effect on the front end.
Here is what I have done:
I have two attendance - P001 and P002. P001 is configured to be recorded on Leave Request where as P002 is configured to be recorded via Record Working Time (CATS) link.
I record the attendance P001 in Leave Request and also post that into infotypes. After this, I try to record P002 in the Record Working Time Screen and I still get errors (Errors are from: HRTIM00REC E/207 and LR E/335)
If I try to replicate the same in the back-end in IT20002, then there is no issues.
Can anyone help and let me know how we can implement the same Time constraints reactions on the front-end and the back-end.
Thanks a bunch
- Harshal

Note that Time constraints are not valid for Leave request and Working time ie in ESS
it only comes via PA30
in CATS too, we dont follow much HR related collisions checks these are taken into consideration during CAT6
and in leave request via Rptarqpost
so its not gonna work, Its intended and correct! go for a user exit cats0003 or check cac1 profile customisation

Error with ESS-Record working Time

While trying to create record for timesheet thorugh CATS on ESS > Record working time I get the following error : Could any one guide me the same please.
08.07.2013: Counting rule 1/07/030 does not exist
Erroneous records exist. Navigation is not possible
Regards,
Ayesha

Hi,
Some more issues .
1: I am not able to view any Attendance type/Absence type in Timesheet page , though i have selected it as an input field.
2: I needed an additional field with free text, so selected additional field as an input but not getting this also in ESS.
3: I got these fields Project and Project subobject, but these are disabled ones, with no LOV or free text option. I want to know how do i get values here , is there any PA or OM infotypes ,where i can assign Project details and then fetch it here ?
4: Task Type , Level and Component.
Type
Level
Component
1
A
A1
A2
2
B
B1
B2
This appears correctly, but my issue is when I select type 1 , in Level I can view A and B, also all the component are appearing, if you select level A.
I want to restrict this. When I select type 1, I should be able to view only Level A. Is this possible in Stanndard ? Same for Level and component asignment.

Ayesha

ESS Record Working Time - How to set up approvals?

Hello experts,
I've hit a bit of a roadblock and could use some direction. I have recently implemented the newer ESS_WDA role in our sandbox environment to see what it had all to offer. Using LPD_CUST to customize the ESS launchpad role, instance = menu, I have successfully implemented the Record Working Time WD application and have it running fine. Using CAC1 I created two profiles, ESS (without approvals) and Z_ESS_A (with approvals). Using the ESS profile, a user can enter time into their ESS time sheet, save, and thus time is entered into CATS and their IT2001/2002.
Now, Z_ESS_A is another story. Some time this year, we'd like all our US administrative personnel to enter time using ESS Recording Working Time (HRESS_A_CATS_1) however, they would need to have all their time approved by their reporting manager (or a backup) before it goes into IT2001/2002.
I'm a bit fuzzy on the process, but I would like the approval to be done by their reporting manager in Manager Self-Service using the Approve Time Sheet application (HRMSS_A_CATS_APPROVAL) and not by click on some link in their UWL. I assume this is set up by assigning a task in the workflow section under Approval in the data entry profile, but I have no idea what task to assign. Do we need to create a custom task? Am I on the right path or is there another path I should be pursuing? Ideally, if the manager is unable to approve the associate's time sheet, we would have a backup enter their MSS and approve time sheets that haven't been approved by the direct manager yet.
I did notice the Approve Working Time section in the IMG. Is this where I need to set up the approvals? I noticed a SAP_LINE view, however I read this uses a line manager relationship dictated in OM, however we do not use that relationship (A002/B002). We simply use the A003 (Manages/Belongs to) relationships, thus the task would identify the chief of the org unit and use that relationship to decide who to send the time sheet approval to.
Kind regards,
Garrett Meredith

Hi Garrett,
System identified the Record working time profile from the value against User Parameter CVR in SU01.
If you maintain ESS against CVR it triggers without approval
If you maintain Z_ESS_A against CVR it triggers Approval process
Some time this year, we'd like all our US administrative personnel to enter time using ESS Recording Working Time (HRESS_A_CATS_1) however, they would need to have all their time approved by their reporting manager (or a backup) before it goes into IT2001/2002.
You need to change the CVR parameter value to Z_ESS_A for that period for all US administrative employees for that duration. Again you need to change it to ESS once that duration is over.
but I would like the approval to be done by their reporting manager in Manager Self-Service using the Approve Time Sheet application (HRMSS_A_CATS_APPROVAL) and not by click on some link in their UWL.
Below tick in CAC1 triggers workitems to UWL, if not only sent to Approve Time sheet application in MSS.
I did notice the Approve Working Time section in the IMG. Is this where I need to set up the approvals? I noticed a SAP_LINE view,
SPRO / PM/ ESS WDABP / Working Time/ Record working time/ Approve Working Time
above is the navigation where you configure approval process.
SAP_LINE is also a user parameter for managers in SU01 against CATS_APPR_PROF.
So Employee SU01 - CVR = ESS or Z_ESS_A
Manager SU01 - CATS_APPR_PROF = SAP_LINE or Custom one.
however I read this uses a line manager relationship dictated in OM, however we do not use that relationship (A002/B002). We simply use the A003 (Manages/Belongs to) relationships, thus the task would identify the chief of the org unit and use that relationship to decide who to send the time sheet approval to.
It doesn't work based on A002/B002 relation, it works based on Chief Relation (A012/B012) to Org.Unit.
Let us say X is the chief for A org.unit, all the positions those belong to A org.unit shown under X as reportee employees, so X can be the approver for A1, A2, A3 and so on.
Hope this give you an understanding.

Can employee choose the profile in ESS Record Working Time

ESS Record Working Time .. Restrict Time Entry with Relative limit

Hi SDN Users,
We are using ERP 2005 and EP 7.0 with webdynpro java ESS applications for Time, Travel and Personal Information.
In the ESS Record Working Time application, a user can scroll to any date he wants in the past or in the future and record/edit working times. The application does not take into consideration the setting made in the time entry profile for relative limit.
Please suggest the best way I can include this in the webdynpro application for Record Working Time. (in other words I would like to restrict the users to NOT be able to scroll before and later than 1 week from the current week).
Can this be achieved by modifying any ABAP program / BADI / User Exit (OR)
Would this require Webdynpro Code changes ?
Please suggest some changes if any one has gone through a similar requirement.
Thank You,
Salome

Hello Salome ,
You can use the following way out for this :
Lets say you want to allow one week before Begda , rest entries not allowed .
1. VcCatRecordentry View - make a method called dateValid(); this would return true / flase
we can get begda and endda.
wdcontext.currentcontextelement.gettimesheetBegda();
wdcontext.currentcontextelement.gettimesheetendda();
Date sysDate = new Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis());
int sysDay = sysDate.getDay();
2. Instantiate the Calendar Calendar c1 = new GregorianCalendar();
3. c1.add(c1.DATE,-7);
Date dt_end = c1.getTime();
now compare the dt_end to begda if it return >0
then in on action navigation nxt - report exception
this would work , since I did the same and it worked absolutely well for me .

ESS Record Working Time-Save as Template,Decimal

Hi Experts,
I am working on the ESS Standard Web Dynpro Java Record Working Time.
I faced a problem cannot reset the saved template after the employee has saved the templated thru the button of Save as template.
Can anybody provide any guide on how to reset the templates indvidually thru ESS Portal ?
Thanks first!

Now then there is no explicit button for
clearing the templates.
The steps to be followed are Deleting the Templates are :
Delete Row > Save as Template
For Next Row
Delete Row > Save as Template
it will clear the template ;).
ie after deleting the single row or mutiple rows a save template
should be used.

ESS Record Working Time - Print button gone in latest release?

Hello,
We are implementing EP 7.0, ERP2005 (ECC 6.0) SP07, ESS (MySAP ERP) 1.0.
Previous versions of the Record Working Time screen (i.e., 50.4 and earlier) had a Print button under the time sheet, but the latest version does not.
Does anyone know when/if SAP is planning to re-introduce this capability? The iView has Print On/Off radiobutton, but this is not to print time sheet like the old time sheet print button did (it merely determines whether 'Print' will display as an option in the listbox next to the Back and Forward nav links).
Thank you!
Fred

I did open a message with SAP regarding the missing print button and the fact that employee indicative data has also been removed from the time sheet in SAP's latest release. After much back and forth, SAP has concluded that this is missing functionality and they directed me to the infamous Note 11. Here is the text of Note 11 for anyone who may not be familiar with it:
<i>Dear Customer,
We regret to inform you that the function you require is not included in the SAP standard system.
If you consider filing a development request, we recommend that you either contact your Customer Competence Center (CCC) or one of the User Groups to place a stronger emphasis on your request. A list of SAP User Groups is available at http://service.sap.com/communities.
For more information, see http://service.sap.com/rollin.
Best regards,
SAP Active Global Support</i>
There is a "print" option on the iView which, when enabled, opens a new window for printing purposes. However, this provides a PageBuilder rendition of the timesheet which is not sized or oriented properly for printing. The result, therefore, is basically a truncated screenshot. Even after manually re-orienting the page to landscape, the timesheet is truncated so no hours show.
I recommended to my client that a development request be filed.
Another perspective that I have been told is that SAP's intent was to replace the Print Time Sheet functionality with the Time Statement functionality. This did not come from SAP, however.
In my opinion, this is an important feature that SAP should re-release as quickly as possible.

ESS Record working time error "Profile not initialised" TS31000007

Hi,
This is with reference to approvals of Times in ESS . I have copied the task TS31000004 to my custom task. I have made a custom rule to determine the superior in the Z task i have created.
Wehn i try to assign the Z task created to the Data entry profile in the "with approval" section( *** use sap business workflow *** ) , it gives me an error "Profile not initialised" . If i remove the check box for "Use SAP Business workflow" and do not enter any task there, the record working time screen is shown in ESS.
Any idea why it is giving the "Profile not initalised" when i assign the workflow in data entry profile.
Your help is apprecaited.

Hi Haydn,
I have check the wokflow through CAT2 in SAP R3. When i save the CATS record, it send a workflow task to the superiror identified through by custom rule.
If i try it through front end ESS, the same is not working and is throwing "PROFILE_NOT_INITIALIZED" error.
I have down the following
1) Copy the standard task TS31000004 to ZTS31000004
2) Assigned it as general task, assigned the custom rule in Default rules for agen determination
3) Assigned the Task in Data entry profile, checked the box "Use SAP Business workflow" in data entry profile.
4) In Portal i have registered the UWL system, note i am not getting the ZTS31000004 in UWL xml file.
Do i need to ADD the new ZTS31000004 in SWFVISU and delete the standard TS31000004 provided and re-register system ?
also do i need to create the events in SWETYPV for this Tasks as they are not present there?
Your help is appreciated.

ESS Record Working Time - Display 2 weeks

We have a requirement to display two weeks on Record Working Time portal. Users would like to enter time for both the weeks at a time. Rest of the screen should work as is.
Is it configurable? If so, please provide the detailed steps.
Is there a solution without modifying java web dynpro component? If not, can you provide which part of web dynpro need to be changed?
Any related details would help a lot.
Appreciate your time!
Thanks

NO.. in the Current Record Working Time WebDynpro Java Application, only Daily & Weekly Views are available. There is no other option & adding the biweekly view will be a HUGE Development effort involving both frontend & backend changes as well.. Not sure if it is worth the trouble..
