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.
regards
Sam

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?
Regards,
Aditi

Work flow mails are not coming to inbox but coming to out box in quality

Hello,
We are working on the implementation of Work flow for Purchase orders.
Work flow customization is completed and even work flow is triggering when ever I create Purchase Order.
Even Agent assignment also completed for work flow tasks via T code PTFC_CHG.
This work flow is working fine in development.
When I moved this workflow to quality I got a problem.
Problem here is Work flow mails are not processing out of SAP Outbox to approvers inbox even also after executing the program RSWUWFML2.
When I triggered the PO in development the work item is moved to SAP out box as well as inbox. In quality It is not coming to SAP inbox.
If I check in SOST,I will not see any of the entries related to work flow mails.
Only above I can see in my SAP Outbox.
So how can I Process these messages to approvers SAP Inbox.
Any body please help me where the problem is
With regards,
Sudhakar

Hi SP,
I may be wrong, but on reading ur thread, I feel u r mis interpreting SAP Outbox with Outlook.
Is it so, because u have mentioned about RSWUWFML2 and SOST, which comes into picture only if u r using an external mail like Outlook.
If its Outlook, then there is no doubt that ur work item would get deleted from SAP Inbox and would be present only in Outlook.
If its SAP Outbox, then u r not supposed to get ur work item in ur Outbox unless it is processed or executed thru ur SAP Inbox.
Hope it helps.

Work flow mails not processing from SAP Outbox to Approvers

Hello,
We are working on the implementation of Work flow for Purchase orders.
Work flow customization is completed and even work flow is triggering when ever I create Purchase Order.
Even Agent assignment also completed for work flow tasks via T code PTFC_CHG.
Problem here is Work flow mails are not processing out of SAP Outbox to approvers even also after executing the program RSWUWFML2.
If I check in SOST,I will not see any of the entries related to work flow mails.
For eg:If I creates a Purchase order it will trigger Release Strategy and I can see the message to Approvers,like "Please Approver PO..."
Only above I can see in my SAP Outbox.
So how can I Process these messages to approvers SAP Inbox.
Any Pre Setting I have to do?

UCCE 7.2.7/CAD 7.2 SR1 Work Flow Action issue

Greetings,
This is on UCCE 7.2.7 with CAD 7.2 SR1.
Today, I created Agent Management Work Flow Action in CAD (via Desktop Admin). I want all of my agents within a specific Work Flow Group to be logged out at 9pm on workdays.
I choose the event "Time of day", create a rule and an action. The action is "Agent State Control" with value "AgentLogout". I choose to use automated reason codes. After configuration I hit "apply" and, just to be sure, I also sync the Directory Services.
The action is triggered, but the agent still has to choose the reason code to logout. Does this sound familiar to any of you or am I missing someting?
Regards

Assign it in the script.
Let's say you have created the ECC variable "userCADLayout" and you have been into CAD Admin and set this as the field index 252.
And you have created a number of layouts (e.g. Sales, Service) with different enterprise variables, ANI, DNIS etc.
Let's say agent Fred is in both the Sales SG and the Service SG.
Simply set the ECC variable in the script once you have decided its a Sales call or a Service call to the matching string "Sales" or "Service".
So a "Sales" call arrives at Fred's desktop and the arrangement (layout) is appropriate; ditto Service.
Once you have done this one time, you will realize how easy it is. Of ocurse, DON'T MAKE ANY SPELLING MISTAKES. ;-)

Geoff

IPhoto Work Flow Suggestions

When I need to edit a photo in iPhoto what is the proper order?
I usually crop first then look at using the editing tools to adjust levels, exposure etc but is there a proper work flow to get the best out of the adjustments? Do you just work your way down each slider control in a top down order?
I've always been a little confused how the adjustments for levels in the histogram interact with the exposure, contrast and brightness sliders. If you adjust the levels then when you move the exposure slider that affects the levels again.
Thanks for any advice.
Kelvin

I don't know if there is a right order or not in iPhoto. In general when editing it is often suggested that sharpening be the last thing you apply, so I tend to make that my last adjustment.
My own work flow is I usually first try an "enhance" on the photo and see what iPhoto wants to do. Often this gets my in the ballpark and I adjust from there, usually toning down some of the exposure and shadow adjustments as iPhoto tends to crank them a little far for my own tastes.
But sometimes iPhoto fails miserably and I just edit myself and I don't usually use all the adjustments.
I then crop and/or straighten if needed.
I tend to keep my editing simple and don't go nuts on all the sliders. It is easy to get carried away.

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

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/out correction screen issue-ESS-urgent

Hi Experts,
We have standard Clock in/out correction screen. In the calender Work schedule is being shown ie. on weekly Off, Off is coming but public holidays are not visible like 15 Aug, this has been defined as Public holiday. So on this day Independence Day should be comng in Clock in.ou correction calender..
Please provide your input....
Thanks

Currently you cant see public holidays or holidays in the calendar defined for the user, No BADI and No customisation is available for this too :(..
As calendar is not meant to see the Personal Work schedule of the user yet, though many customers are looking forward to this, Good to have this.

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.

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.
Regards
Roy

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.

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.
Bruno.
