MSS Substitution Setup

Hello,
We are implementing MSS on Portal with ECC EHP 6. To let Managers Substitute Tasks to Others, do they need to goto UWL-> Manage Substitute Rules or there is a separate Application(Webdynpro Component)/iView for it available as part of the Standard MSS Role?
Any Help would be highly Appreciated.

  • MSS Substitution - Work Item

    Hi Experts,
    We are on EHP7 / NWBC. On MSS for Substitution, we have requirement that, Manager should see his/her work item by default and if he/she wants to see substitute's work item, it should go to another tab.
    The current functionality, displays everything on one screen and manager has to go through owner to identify who's work item it is.
    Is there anyway we can get substitutes work item in separate tab?

  • MSS Substitution - Position Based and Change Fields

    Hi Experts,
    We are on EHP7 and using NWBC (POWL) for work item. We have set-up position based substitution. But when the user logs in, he/she don't see work item of other user. We have set-up A210 relationships between positions. Do we need to set-up anything else?
    Second Question,
    On MSS when we set-up substitution, it shows Assignee -  PERNR not User Name. How can we change the fields to show User Name instead of PERNR?
    Regards,
    Ashish

    We would like to see User Name instead of User IDs as Manager may not remember person with User IDs. In this scenario, substitution created from Manage Substitution Rules (Create Rules). In Assignee field it shows User ID and we would like to see User Name.

  • Automate MSS substitution rule activation with 'Fill In'

    Hi,
    I have a question about the substitution, shipped with EhP7. There is the possibilty to add the rule as 'Fill In'.
    If I add the rule, the substitute will get the information in his overview directly. This option does not look at a maintained absence in infotype 2001?
    The reason for my question is the following:
    I would like to automate the activation of the rule, when the system (or especially a report) does detect an absence in infotype 2001. Only if that is the case, the rule should be activated. The result of this procedure is, that the substitution rule only has to be added once initially (of course for one substitute).
    I read different articles and the part of the HR600-course-material. With that and my testing in a system, I think that there is no such automation I described. Am I right?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards from Germany
    Christian

    yes you are correct, FIll in means, any unexpected absence of the manager, a substitutue who is predetermined to take over tasks will do the approval for critical tasks. This is how its intended to be and as such its not automated. You can look at BADI WF_SUBSTITUTE if you want to include some checks, you ll find lots of docs on it

  • Can we call a screen in MSS from ESS ?

    Hi Gurus,
    I need to call the Create Substitution page of MSS from the ESS Leave Request Overview Page. We are on NWBC 7.1
    The requirement is that the managers, when they try to create a leave request, realize that they have not created a substitution. So they do not want to go all over to the MSS page, then navigate to Substitution rule..... Instead they want a button added in the Leave Overview page of ESS so that they can easily navigate to the MSS Substitution page.
    Adding a button is easy, however I am not sure how to call the event. I am trying to add the code in the Class CL_HRESS_PTARQ_APP_CC_ASSIST, by enhancing it, however not sure how to call the MSS screen from here!
    Is this an easy development/change with few lines of code? And how to do it?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Jack

    Calling a remote function is performance issue and you are using it with the remote cube...
    It is possible but the performance may be very bad.. in the transformation, you can call the remote function. so this will be done once... calling the FM at the field level will be result in bad performance

  • ASCP is not picking Substitute Item if Primary Qty of that item available.

    Hi, We have requirement of using the component substitution functionality while releasing Manufacturing Jobs through ASCP. or Use Substitute Components e.g ITEM A & ITEM B.
    ASCP should use 75% of Item A & 25% of Item B for completion of a Manufacturing Jobs (Pls note that both items have different Item Codes)"
    We can use the component substitution setup, item B can be used without any shortage of item A, Or in other words we require a functionality to allocate the percentage of supplies to manufacturing Jobs, e.g. with a setup, the supply will be distributed to item A and B for 75% and 25% to Manufacturing jobs & when we drill down in each Job order, both items will be used as 75% and 25% respectively.
    Regards
    Umair

    Hi, thanks for your response, our requirement details are as follow
    We have 2 Products Named Product X & Product Z, there are 2 Items (ITEM A & ITEM B) of different manufacturer but can be used in both Products A & Product B,
    Case 1: we have to use 75% of Item A in Product X & 25% of Item B in Product Z.
    Case 2: we have to use 75% of Item B in Product Z & 25% of Item A in Product X
    Further pls guide how we can setup the BOM to have for each unit of end item -> 0.75 usage of item A and 0.25 usage of item B

  • One material gets substituted for another upon entry in order. Why??

    We have certain materials that when entered into a quote for example, always get replaced with another material. Is this some configuration that's done and where can I find out more about why this occurs?

    Thanks for the help. I checked in spro and there is no product substitution setup at all for the txn types.
    Here's something else I noticed. When I search for the product via the Maintain Products transaction, I put in one material number and it always returns the other one. If I put the substituted part, it says it can't find the product. These are two separate parts in R/3.

  • Error in Manage Substitution Rules - MSS

    Hello Team,
    I am working on new Implementation for ESS MSS in ECC6.0 and the country grouping is 99. I am getting error in 'Manage Substitution Rules' in MSS.
    When I create the substitution rule, I am getting 'problems Reported' in the 'Rule activation' field.
    The detailed message is 'System does not support Substitution methods'.
    I tried different options in the rule creation. All gave same error.
    I have activated the standard workflow TS12300097 and changed the task to 'General Task'.
    Is there anything else I need to do?
    How can I solve this issue?
    Thanks for your help.

  • MSS and Substitution

    Hi
    Is substitution possible in MSS? we are in EP6. If so can someone tell what would be estimate time to set up substituion in MSS? Our client don't want direct access to Business Workplace.
    Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    substitution possible in MSS
    Hope you are mentioning workflow substitution.
    You can perform substitution from UWL directly using "Manage Substitution" option. The option is available as a menu in the UWL itself (I  think in older release it was a separate button).
    Thanks,

  • Pb to setup replicated partition with substitution variables

    Dear all,
    I have the following problem with the replicated partition by using the substitution variables :
    I would like to create a replicated partition using 3 substitution variables: &CurrPeriod, &CurrWeek, &CurrYear. The goal of this is to be able to copy data from application SourceApp to TargetApp every week, by changing the subst variables.
    The script I have created is :
    login useradmin identified by password on EssbServer
    alter application SourceApp load database SourceDb
    alter application TargetApp load database TargetDb
    create or replace replicated partition SourceApp.SourceDb
    Area ' "Account1", &CurrPeriod, &CurrWeek, &CurrYear, "ND_DISTRI","ND_PAGE","ND_PROD","VT", "REEL", "EUR" ' SourceArea
    to TargetApp.TargetDb at EssbServer  as useradmin identified by password
    Area ' "Account1",    "M_N",     "S_N",     "FY1" , "ND_DISTRI","ND_PAGE","ND_PROD","VT", "REEL", "EUR" ' TargetArea
    +     mapped TargetArea ("&CurrYear") to ("FY1")+
    +     mapped TargetArea ("&CurrWeek") to ("S_N")+
    +     mapped TargetArea ("&CurrPeriod") to ("M_N")+
    +     update allow;+
    refresh replicated partition SourceApp .SourceDb to TargetApp .TargetDb at EssbServer all data ;
    The issue is that this is not working. I don’t see any data when launching the Maxl script even if the script syntax is validated by essbase. The very strange thing is that when I replace the substitution variable by members, this script works fine, I see my data in the target cube. For example if I replace the subst variables by
    Area ' "Account1", “Month1”, “Week1”, “Year1”, "ND_DISTRI","ND_PAGE","ND_PROD","VT", "REEL", "EUR" ' SourceArea
    to TargetApp.TargetDb at EssbServer  as useradmin identified by password
    Area ' "Account1",    "M_N",     "S_N",     "FY1" , "ND_DISTRI","ND_PAGE","ND_PROD","VT", "REEL", "EUR" ' TargetArea
    +     mapped TargetArea (“Year1”) to ("FY1")+
    +     mapped TargetArea (“Week1”) to ("S_N")+
    +     mapped TargetArea (“Month1”) to ("M_N")+
    So my conclusion is that there is something wrong with the syntax of the substitution variable in my mapping.
    Your help on this would be very appreciated .

    Hi,
    I have the answer from Oracle support :
    Hello,
    This is a known bug.
    BUG 7418041
    This has been documented as a known issue in Essbase Release 9.3.1.3 with the following description: "Partitioning. Using substitution variables in replicated partition mappings incorrectly prevents data from replicating. [7418041]"
    Currently the development team are working on a fix, but we don't have a release date yet.
    The suggested workarounds are to use member names (which you have confirmed work) or use a Transparent partition in place of a replicated partition.

  • MSS UWL substitution rules

    Hi,
    I have two questions about universal worklist task managing when manager is not handling the tasks in his job:
    1. Leave request: How is ruling of days for when manager does not respond on leave request before sent to above manager?
    2. Travel request: How is ruling of days for when manager does not respond on travel reimbursement before sent to above manager?
    Anyone who know this, if it is configured by needs of the client or is this standard ruling by SAP?
    Kind regards,
    hilde

    Hi Hilde,
    Pls follow these steps for Substitution Rule
    1) Create a Task
    A task is nothing but a request to one or more assignees.
    2) After creating the Task, Substitution should be assigning the tasks; if manager went to leave he can create substitution in his place
    So here once you define the Rule for subtitution then next step is to Set Rule Activation i.,e nothing but "you can turn the rule On or Off at any time on substitution rules management screen .
    cheers

  • Authorizations for substitution using UWL in MSS

    Hi Experts,
    We use substitution in universal Work list via the portal, and SAP has supplied an authorisation object S_WF_SUBST, which should mean that the substitute don't need the manager roles and structural profiles of the user who creates the substitution.
    Do any of you have experience with this ?
    Regards
    Carsten

    Hi,
    Yes, SAP does not stop you from receiving substituted tasks. But you can put your own validations using BADIs.
    See below link for more details.
