Appraisal Documents POWL in ESS

Hi all,
I have a query regarding the possibility of creating document through ESS POWL not MSS, in MSS there is a create button to allow creation of document however this button is not available for ESS, in our process the employee will initiate a document and prepare it hence send it to his manager for approval.
Is it possible that this scenarion is not supported within the Flexible Performance Management framewok.
Regards,

Many customers do not like to leave this responsibility on the user - to create the appraisal themselves. They create it in advance, possibly in a status/substatus that is only editable by the appraisee.
If you want to allow the ess users to create appraisals for themselves, either
create your own POWL query, with own class to implement in POWL the create document button (as the MSS POWL Query has it, you'll need to enhance the standard ABAP WD Application to take other POWL ID)
or
enhance the standard SAP delivered POWL Class (faster but less clean in my opinion).

  • Appraisal Document : POWL Setting

    Hi Expert,
    We have used POWL to Display Appraisal Document for Employee /Manager.But Employee/Manager go in repective tab all the columns are visible which are not relevant to EMP/Manager Like Plan Version,Appraisal Doc Id,offline Status.
    I just want to do Default setting of Powl Column which is visible to all  the user wheather he is Employee or Manager?
    Please provide ne some solution. ?
    Regards,
    Mahesh

    The code enhancement is done in the respective POWL feeder class interface-Method GET_FIELD_CATALOG. You have to define the column to hide as a technical column (e.g.ls_fieldcat-technical_col = 'X' ). To avoid modifications use the enhancement framework to add source code in a POST-Method-Implementation for method GET_FIELD_CATALOG.This is a relatively easy change and would take approximately 15 minutes if you know the name of the column and feeder class.

  • Shortdump while accessing Appraisal document in portal-Null obj ref.not pos

    Hi all,
    We are implementing Performance Management in Ehp4 with EP 7.1, flexible template   We have been facing an issue where in Portal while we are trying to click on Appraisal document either in ESS or MSS, it dos not open anything instead we are getting
    short dump error in ST22.  We have performed the portal and ESS setup as per the SAP recommended  notes.
    1272076 - Appraisal Nav
    1408243 - OBN
    1416756 - OBN Confi
    1463821 - Portal confi
    1458466 - Launchpad config
    The short dump error analysis as follows.
    Short text
        Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
      An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
      The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
       caught in
      procedure "READ_ATTR_ALL_FOR_CASETYP" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a
       RAISING clause.
      Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
      exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
      The reason for the exception is:
      You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
      access a component (variable: "LO_CASE_CUST").
      An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
      before it can be used to access components.
      Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
      CLEAR statement.
    Just wondering if any one of you came across this issue.  I have put external break point at  main appraisal component
    HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT and class CL_HAP_WD_DOCUMENT_UI. But it didn't go through. I think because this abap dynpro not being called due to url issue and thus dump says null pointer exception.
    Appreciate your response and I Look forward your insights.

  • ESS EHP5: Appraisal document not working

    Hi,
    I am implementing performance appraisal (EHP5 and BP ESS 1.50) and am sorting out the very confusing scenario of EHP4 and EHP5 versions of appraisal documents. I am using the pmp version EHP5 and BP ESS 1.50 (BP ESS 1.41 not installed). I did basic setting in Object Setting and Apprsaisals (repla = X) and created a category and a basic template (Do I need to do this if I use the predefined version?).
    But when I run the iViews, I got a system dump from the pmp version ...
    Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible
    Error Code: ICF-IE-http .....RABAX_STATE -e: OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED_NO
    I checked sap note 1319829 but our basis guy said we are ok with sap basis level (level 7)
    ... and this error from the flexible version:
    The Web Dynpro application was called up with the wrong URL parameters
    I checked some related notes about OBN configuration but they are only for EHP4. I've very little about EHP5. And from what i found, the EHP5 PMP version already takes care of OBN configuration in the iviews and launchpads.
    BF and extension sets are all on as far as I can see.
    My questions are: is BP ESS 1.4 needed to run appraisal for EHP5? Is Object setting configuration needed for EHP5 (predefined) which is abap based, since whe I tried the template (web layout), it shows BSP sicf bsp services not activated.
    Thanks

  • Access to appraisal document via ESS is restricted by status

    Our requirement is for the appraisee to record their objectives (via ESS) and then select a 'To Manager' pushbutton to send a workflow to the manager requesting them to approve the objectives. The problem is that once the workflow has gone to the manager the appraisee cannot access the appraisal document until the manager has approved the objectives and the appraisal status has changed from 'In Planning' to 'In Process'. How can the appraiser view the appraisal document (via ESS) whilst it has the status ‘In Planning’?
    We also have a similar issue later in the process. When the appraisee selects the <Close Part Appraisal> pushbutton to signify that they have completed their self appraisal the appraisal document has status ‘In Process’. The appraisee cannot access the appraisal (via ESS) until the appraiser also completes their part appraisal and sets the status to ‘Completed’. Is there a setting to allow the appraisee to have read access to the document during this part of the process?
    Thanks and regards,
    Janet

    Hi again Maurice.
    Once the appraisal status has been set to 'Completed' the appraisee needs to Accept or Reject the appraisal but the appraisal now appears as display only (both in ESS and ECC). We are using BSP documents_received.htm for ESS
    The 'Accept' and 'Reject' pushbuttons are not active in ESS
    The 'Accept' and 'Reject' pushbuttons are active in ECC and update the appraisal status as required. However if the appraisal is rejected and the status is set back to 'In Process' the appraisal document is still display only.
    Any ideas?

  • ESS Appraisal Document Adobe Print Error

    Hi,
    we are in the midst of upgrading our system from 4.7 to ECC6. We have noticed that once upgraded, we are getting error when we try to print the performance management document. In Portal, once we clicked on the appraisal document, we click on the print function. Next, we click on 'open'. we get the following message:-
    "Adobe reader could not open webforms.pdf because it is either not a supported filetype or because the file has been damaged"
    Any idea why? Is it an Acrobat issue rather then a SAP issue? 
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Check the details .....
    Check the ADS connection "SM59".....with Basis People
    Also check the ADOBI Version that you have using ....
    The Acrobat version should be latest one.

  • Link missing for appraisal documents in MSS Status overview

    For MSS Status overview page of Flexible Appraisal documents, the appraisal documents are shown as texts and there is no link. (hyperlink). Opening the document is possible only by clicking 'Display' or 'Edit' button.
    I have checked throughout the SDN and unable to find the problem. Our functional team says that the link was appearing before. Could some one help on what configuration is necessary to get the link for appraisal documents in MSS

  • Part appraisal document for self and subordinates

    Hi All
    I have created a part appraisal document , for self and sub ordinates. When I logged in to portal , the subordinates are able to view the document whereas document created for self are unable to. For self as well as for subordinates , we have configured the document in ESS only. It may be due to some powl query issue but am unable to identify if its powl issue or some authorization issue,In either case , how to identify the same. Please suggest.
    Thanks
    Smriti

    Hello Smriti,
    Can you clarify the issue for me - you have created one appraisal document and in the header data have defined the part appraisers as the employee and subordinates, and only the employee is unable to access the part appraisal document?
    When you created the appraisal template, on the 'Roles' tab, is the role for 'Self' ticked?
    Can the employee access any of his other appraisal documents from the portal?
    Is IT0105 data maintained for the employee's SY-UNAME?
    Regards,
    Kendall

  • How to trigger follow up processing actions in appraisal documents?

    Hi gurus,
    We are customizing the performance management process using Objective Settings and Appraisals (ECC 6.0; Enh.Pack 4, ESS/MSS with business pack 1.41) and we have customized the evaluation templates (transaction PHAP_CATALOG_PA) with the enhancement "Follow-Up Proc. (Background) - Adjust Qualific. (Start Date)" in Follow-up Processing section of the Processing tab, at template level (VA object).
    The system functions is ok, and the cualification appears in the employee profile (transaction PPPM) correctly after the performance management especialist trigger it using the admin report (transaction PHAP_ADMIN_PA).
    My question is: Is there anyway to automatically trigger the follow-up processing after the appraisal document is finished? Do we need to develop in ABAP a new implementation of some BADI?
    Thanks in advance!

    Maurice Hagen wrote:
    Followup processes are started as soon as the document goes from status 1-4 to 5 (completed).
    Do you mean ALL available follow-up processes should be started as soon as status is set to "competed"?
    That's not what happens for our (custom) appraisal: follow-up process(es) are not started when the status becomes "completed", neither from the backend nor the portal. We always have to manually launch the follow-up process from the phap_admin transaction, and select the ones we want to be done.
    In phap_catalog, we have a couple of follow-up processes that are selected in the "Processing" tab.
    when the approval process is activated (infty 5025) and or status 6,7,8,9 are selected then the follow up process only takes place after status change to close approved.
    Even when setting the status to "closed approved", no follow-up process is started.
    Any suggestion? Isn't there a setting somewhere that should be set in order for the follow-up prpcesses to be automatically started when the status is set to "completed"?
