Adding Display Only Assignment info on OTL timekeeper Entry form.

Hi
My company is using OTL timekeeper Entry PUI form to record the attendance of employees. Our users want to have Employee's Organization from primary assignment to be automatically populated in a static field so that they can check if employee is in right organization or not at the time of data entry.
I don't want to add LOV using alternate names in the form because it requires additional button clicks for the users.
Can anyone help how we can add static field (Just like employee name appear after we add employee id) for Organization name in PUI Timekeeper Entry form?
Regards
Syed Salman

Can someone help on this?
I am just looking for an example (may be with a 2 column matrix), not somebody to write full code as per my requirements for me.

Hi,
HXCSAW is a custom workflow which do nothing accept approving and that can be change as per customer requirement. This child workflow called by parent workflow process HXCEMP. If u going to change the HXCSAW then u also need to change the seeded package associated with this workflow to embed your logic.
We have done it through SSHR timesheet entry page, no idea if OTL timekeeper entry form carries approval or not.
Whts the nature of ur parallel approval ? and how u can able to manage if via workflow ?

Follow the OTL api guide and check your code. If your code is proper, timecard should get updated properly.

OTL timekeeper entry - retrieve Hours type

Hi guys,
In the Timekeeper(OTL) entry form (where you enter time for multiple workers) there is a 'Hours Type' field .
I need to retrieve the 'hours type' field value(As displayed in timekeeper entry screen) for a particular person(say person_id=2222) and for a particular period(june 9,2008-june 15,2008)..
can anyone tell me the query or any pointers will be highly appreciated
Thanks

The Hours Type field needs to be configured as an Alternate Name Definition. This will associate a list of values for hours types to the corresponding elements.
Then you have to associate the hours type alternate name definition as a timekeeper layout item in the Preferences window.

How to display certain field permanantly on AP Invoice entry form

Dear All,
I want to hide few fields and want to show certain fields in Invoice Entry form.
When I go to Folder-Show Field and search for the field The required field get displayed but this activity I need to perform everytime I open the form.
Is there any way to default this field in Oracle form, So that whenever I open the form That field should get displayed automatically.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanking you in advance.

If the condition is met you can fire off a line of script that sets the "presence" property of the Copy tag to either "invisible" (if you want to preserve the space taken up by the tag) or "hidden" (if you want to remove the space taken up by the tag).

Multiple Assignments in Timekeeper entry form

Team,
We are trying to setup multiple assignments for Timekeeper.
We followed the whitepaper out on Metalink and got most of the stuff working.
Now, we are showing a list of jobs for each employee to choose from whether it is primary job or secondary job.
The issue that we are getting into, how do we filter the list just for the employee that we are entering timecard for.
This is doable in Self service using right conditions but not clear on how to do this in timekeeper.
Has anyone done this before?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Arul

I presume you have a specific column in TK for the job and that you have linked this through the TK layout preference.
Have you tried making the LOV behind this column dependent on the employee id of the row you are querying? Not sure if it's possible, but worth a try.
Otherwise, I would suggest that you create a Time Entry Rule which is linked to a TER Group just for the TK. The TER could then do the validation to make sure you don't select an invalid value for the employee. It's a bit late in the process, but would prevent errors.
This TER has been used on my projects to ensure that the hours type selected is valid for the employee. This is a simialr scenario.

The setup of OTL Timekeeper preference is incomplete

All of a sudden when I try to open Time Entry in OTL timekeeper, I see the error message: APP-HXC-366338: The Setup of OTL timekeeper preference is incomplete.
I have checked all the possible reasons for that...like if user login is associated with a worker, timekeeper layout attributes,Timekeeper group. Every thing looks good but still unable to open timekeeper.This is same with all other users .
If someone can explain what might have gone wrong i would really appreciate the help.
Thanks

This might be due to an incorrect version of the Timekeeper Entry form HXCTKSTA.fmb.Recompile this form once using adadmin (Buy your DBA a cup of coffee, he will do it for you ;)

Display only in Items assignement block

Hi experts.
I have a requirement where one of the columns of the "items" assignment block should be made display only.
I used the transaction bsp_wd_cmpwb to configure - but as this is a table view I don't have the option for display only (generally available for over view page. I am specifically looking for Product description in the items assignment block.
Can this be done by configuring. Do I need to code any thing. if yes please suggest how.
Thank you
Ram

Hello Ram,
Did you try to redefine method GET_I_xxx of your DESCRIPTION field already?
Check out if adding this line of code can do the trick:
rv_disabled = 'TRUE'.

Getting a "Displaying only the newest results below. To view all results, narrow your query by adding a filter" message in error

I have a list with almost 10000 items. I have a view that should be returning 8 items. For me, the Farm Admin, I see the full set of expected values. The message "Displaying only the newest results below. To view all results, narrow your query by
adding a filter" shows for other users. This makes no sense -
there ARE filters on this view. I'd rather not increase the throttle limit.
Anthony Kelly

Hi Ajk,
Check that the list is not scoped by an audience; but, I'm afraid that either way admin, (e.g. non Farm admin or site collection admin)
I'd recommend exporting to excel, create two new spreadsheets and then import as custom lists.
Best of luck and cheers,

ML81N Make FM fields display only in account assignment

Requirement is to make FM fields already derived from PO (derivation working correctly) display only or add an error message. Easy I thought just go to config for SES and click on Additional Fields display only (Cost Center?, WBS element? there was no funds management fields available)...then after some time investigating
Have debugged the transaction and found some possibilities.
(1) BADI TR_GET_ACCNT_ASSIGN called in function FM_ACCOUNT_GET_COBL from MS_ACCOUNT_ASSIGNMENT.
(2) User Exit EXIT_SAPLFMCH_001 called in function FM_CHANGE_AA_SUBST
(3) Use FMDERIVE to somehow check the PO derivation
Just wondered if anyone had taken this further before I spend a lot more time understanding the whole process in order to achieve a small bit. Please I am a technical resource not FM specialist.
If I could understand the process flow, at least it might help me make quickest simplest solution.
thanks,

Hi,
You can customize the field status in tx OME9 for the relevant account assignment category.
But be aware that this customizing will be valid for all purchasing documents and transactions - not only for ML81N and the services area.
During SES postings, inheriting the FM account assignment from the reference PO is the standard and expected behaviour, so you may see that FMDERIVE is not called when the PO reduction is to be posted during ML81N. Instead, the FMAA is read from table FMIOI and fmderive is skipped in those lines (fi transaction keys KBS/WRX, for instance).
I hope this will help you
Kind regards

Displaying only the newest results below. To view all results, narrow your query by adding a filter.

Hi,
In one of my list there are 33,000 records.
It gives message "Displaying only the newest results below. To view all results, narrow your query by adding a filter."
I don't want to change my threshold limit. Can anybody please tell me steps to resolve this issue?
Regards,
Amit Khatri

I have a list of 11,000 items. Even though I have setup filters on it and it shows all 10 records based on that filter, it still shows that warning on top. For some items, even with those filters, I don't see the list items at all. How do I deal with
this situation. I don't want to change my threshold limits from CA either. Please help.

Make cost assignment display only

1. i want to make the cost assignment percentage 100 % field (under cost assignment button) as display only. the user should not be able to change the percentage other than system defaulted percentage 100%
Kindly let me know. your help will be valuable.

Hi
Not sure if you can do it by customizing, looks like you cant.
You could do it easily by custom code : using a post-exit in WDDOMODIFYVIEW of view COSTASSIGNMENTVIEW web dynpro component FITV_VC_COST_ASSIGNMENT

Adding comment in the OTL Timecard ( in both timekeeper entry & Self-Service)

Hi all,
I need to add a new comment field in the timecard (both the timekeeper entry page & the Timecard Self-Service page).
I am going through the white paper "Configuring The Oracle Time and Labor Timecard User Interface" currently.
what i understand is modifying the LDT file will allow me to add the desired comment in the TimeCard Self Service page, while I need it to be exist in the Timekeeper Entry page also.
i should be able to enter the employee timecard with my comment in the new comment field using the timekeeper entry page and submit it for approval. The approver should be able to review and see my comment in the employee timecard self service page.
what are the required steps to have the new comment field exist in both layouts?
also, is it possible to add the comment not as a new column, can we add the field just beside the seeded comment in the Timekeeper Entry down beside the Select All/Deselect All button?
Note: I am using the Payroll TimeCard Layout.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Gaurav,
Sure.
We would like to take the employee time cards being entered into the (OTL Self Service Time Entry) and once approved, have them automatically populate the OTL Timekeeper by employee. These employees are already defined in various Timekeeper groups. Once the supervisor opens up that group in Timekeeper they will be able to export those employee time records to an excel spreadsheet for further data manipulation. That's our end goal.
The question I have is, how does the upload from (OTL Self Service Time Entry to OTL Timekeeper) happen?
Does it happen once the employee time card has been approved?
or
Do you have to launch some type of concurrent job, etc?
I just can't find that process answer and what if anything that needs to be done.
Again, thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Paul
