Portal Leave Reqeust - Approval field is empty
Please let me know what else will be the problem
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

check his absence ie in V_t554s_web
PTARQ> Determine approver for this pernr, do you see approver?
The table HRESSAPPROVER is filled with the approver, Is the approver maintained
Check the users rule group, how the next agent is determined?
are you using BADI, pt_gen_req to do so?

Error after second level approval in ESS leave request

Hi Experts
I am using custom workflow for Ess Leave request process which is copied from WS21500001.
I have added custom class methods to change status from approved to sent.
Then another method i have set next appovaer.
The problem i m facing is that I am getting an error on portal after second approval approves the request.
i.e Field syomol has not been assigned yet.
from st22 i found its generating from
Include LPT_ARQ_REQUEST_UIAF06 - Form   execute_approver_update
By debugging i found that Its not getting next approval with status T as there is only first approval with status 'A'
This results in unassigned field symbol. and then error.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Please confirm why next approver is not found in method.

Hi All
Thanks for your reply.
I checked why it was giving a dump.
This execute_approver_update subroutine takes approval data from table ptreq_approver .
I filled this with resp actor id after request is approved and status is changed to sent.
For every emp its unique actor id is saved in ptreq_actor table agaist his pernr.
   SELECT SINGLE actor_id FROM PTREQ_ACTOR INTO actor_id WHERE objid = nextApprover_pernr.
    wa_appr-mandt = sy-mandt.
    wa_appr-request_id = Request_ID. "Req.requestID ( from Workflow )
    wa_appr-version_no = version_no. "Req.Version ( from Workflow )
    wa_appr-seqnr = seqnr. "Same as version no but in char
    wa_appr-approver_ins = actor_id. "Employee actor id from ptreq_actor
    wa_appr-status = 'T'. "Manual
    append wa_appr to it_appr.
    INSERT PTREQ_APPROVER FROM TABLE it_appr .
    commit work and wait.
This resolved my issue.
Thanks

ESS leave request - Change Approver

Hi,
We have a situation in which a employees dotted line manager will approve the leave request instead of a direct manager. We have a custom relationship to establish the dotted line manager. Now, In the ESS leave request there is a Approver field which shows the Employees direct manager. Can we customize the logic using a BADI or User exit to show the dotted manager?. Please let me know which enhancement is to be used for this requirement.
Thanks in Advance for your assistance.
Ramesh

in the customizing for the definition of the processes per rule group
you set the selection for the next processor to "Manual Entry".
or for the BADI
Another way is to use the BAdI Control Processing Processes for Time
Management Web Applications (PT_GEN_REQ) and implement the methode
IF_EX_PT_GEN_REQ~FIND_RESP_AND_DEFAULT_NEXT_PRC.
Method FIND_RESP_AND_DEFAULT_NEXT_PRC of badi
PT_GET_REQ might be utilised here.
Please have a look at the method
CL_PT_REQ_SEARCH_NEXT_P~SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR.
If you are implementing the badi then make sure you copy all the methods
and implement the one, as mentioned.

ESS Leave Request - Customer fields default function not working

Hi,
a. SAP version being discussed
SAP ECC6.0
EP7.0
ESS/MSS
b. Here is the scenario
1. We are using ESS Leave Request application for employees to request leave. We are using the standard web dynpro java leave request application delivered by SAP.
2. Lately there has been a need to provide a customer field on the request form which will have a calculated value showing up when the employee opens the request
3.We used one customer field called customer01 as per configuration steps.
4. This field appears on the request form when it is opened.
5. Our need is to display a value in that field when the form is opened.
6. SAP/s documentation states that we can use BADI PT_ABS_ARQ to default a value to this field on the form. This value is calculated during runtime dynamically.
7. We have used the method IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP for this purpose
8. After activating and coding this implementation, the system does not default anything on the request form when it is opened up.
9. Once the employee hits the review button, this field gets its defaulted value but this is not what we want. We want the system to display this when the form is OPENED, that means at the prepare stage. For this field to appear after hitting the review button is meaningless as the employee needs to make a decision based on the value in this field before hitting the review button.
It almost seems like this BADI is called when the review button is hit and not when the form is opened up. We may be wrong and missing something obvious which one of you can immediately point out, Hence this post.
10. I did go thru the forum at great length and seen that there has been discusion surrounding the need to populate R3 from a value entered into this field. My problem is different wherein, I wish to populate this upfront as display information when the form is opened and then send it back to R3, once the employee submits the request.
Would be grateful if anybody on this forum could point me in the right direction.
Thank you,
Rajesh

Please, can I take this question a little further.
Is it possible to add more fields to the leave request form on the ESS portal. For example, our customer wants additional fields like reason for leave, contact residential and telephone number during leave, Require leave entitlements (Yes/No).
Would appreciate if a reply can be given on if it is possible or not and what to be done if it is possible.
Cheers

Next level approver in ESS leave request

hi friends
Am working in ESS leave request workflow. In my scenerio there are 4 level approver. I have function module SWX_GET_MANAGER i have copied and customized to ZSWX_GET_MANAGER with my logic to get the next level approvers. If i entered the PERNR it return all the approver for that employee. How do the workflow know he is the 2nd level approver, he is the 3rd level approver. How can i achieve it. kindly help me...
Regards
vijay

Hi Vijay,
I think you will need to use a loop and a counter so you know the approval level. You can use this to get the manager who belongs to the level.

Martin
PS I hope you will show in the thread which solution you got so others will benefit. This forum is about sharing knowledge and one way is to give the solution in your thread, or value the appropriate answers.

Advanced search in ESS leave request scenario

Dear experts,
we want to use the leave request scenario for ESS. The employees should choose the ap-prover with the search help (or advanced search which pops up when the user clicked the symbol at the edge of the approver field). Is there any way to customize the advanced search so that the result only lists employees in a specific role and not all of them? Where can I see the code from the advanced search und where can I change this?
I am thankful for any hints and tips!
Many thanks
Diana Natanegara

Problem with ESS Leave Request Workflow

We had configured ESS Leave request, which is working fine with Leave request approval.
1)     Cancellation of Leave Request using the workflow WS12400005.
                              Workflow is not getting triggered when we try to delete the leave request.
2)     Quota Overview
While displaying the Casual Leaves (CL) I need to deduct the Paternity leaves (PL) also.
     Remaining CLu2019s = quota CLu2019s u2013 ( used CLu2019s + used PLu2019s).

hi kishore. how did you resolve the issue of workflow not being triggered?

ESS leave request

Dear friends
in ESS leave request workflow , in approval process task i am maintaining 10 days deadline , after that by using process control i am making the workitem to be obselete , then same leave request is going to supervisor's supervisor . this is properly working, my problems are
when the first supervisor opens some other leave request still the escalated leave request is showning in the table , still system is allow him approve . and also in the supervisor's supervisor inbox then workitem remains if he opens the workitem there is no any leave for approval in that table , so deadline mointerting is not working propely for ess leave request , and also in supervisor's supervisor inbox workitem is not going out from uwl .
how to do deadline mointering for ESS leave request workflow ,
can any one help on this
reason which i could identify is details are picking from the document database based on the approver .

You should check the forum, I think I saw a thread in the last two days which stated that deadline monitoring is not working for the leave request. (it could be the HCM forum). So this would be why the handling is not working as expected.
The problem of no leave to be approved for the manager could be prevented if you set a terminating event on the task which will be triggered when the leave is approved.

Standard functionality of ESS Leave Request Details.

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody share the links of Standard functionality of ESS Leave Request Details..?
And,Is there any standard functionality in ESS Leave Requests that if a User raises a Leave Request and want to extend the leave...is there any rule that User First cancel the previous Leave Request and raise a New Leave Request .
Please explain briefly for the same.
Thanks,
Prakash.

You've all the customizing in SPRO > Personnel Management > Employee Self-Service > Service-Specific Settings > Working Time > Leave Request
You define:
1) A Rule with certain settings
2) Absences/Attendances to display in ESS, with certain settings, and its assignation to a Rule
3) A WF (commonly based on standard 12300111) --even you could not use a WF, check customizing
4) Run process (manually or not) for analyze, correct and delete or save the entries finally in SAP through PTARQ transaction
And,Is there any standard functionality in ESS Leave Requests that if a User raises a Leave Request and want to extend the leave...is there any rule that User First cancel the previous Leave Request and raise a New Leave Request .
The employee can be able to cancel the request even when attendance/absence was approved. You define this behaviour for each Absence/Attendance in customizing.

ESS leave request 2 level workflow??

Hi friends,
Does anyone know how to create a 2 level workflow in ESS leave request?? im not able to find any solution for this.
looking forward for your reply...
thanks in advance
sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
You dont have to create a new status for such scenarios. The Java WD Leave Application lists all the Leave Requests that are in SENT status. So after the first approval is done, the status is set to APPROVED in case if it is approved. Now, we have to reset it to the status SENT if you have one more level of approval.
This can be achieved in 2 ways.
1) Changing your Standard Class's coding as suggested by SAP in the above thread.
2) You create one custom BOR with one method - RESETSTATUS - Which resets the status of the Leave Request back to SENT. You can get the required coding from APPROVE method of the above mentioned class.
I followed the second method.
I hope this should clear our problem.

Raja Sekhar

ESS Leave Request - Set Workflow status to Completed

Hi,
We are on ECC 5.0 and we are using ESS to process Leave Requests. We have a custom Workflow based on the standard Workflow template WS12300111 for approval of Leave Requests.
Whenever an employee creates a Leave Request via ESS the Workflow is started. When the employee deletes the request the Workflow has to be stopped/completed. For this we have put a Wait for Event step in a parallel branch to the Approval Process. In the Wait for Event step we wait till a condition ( Request.status = DELETED ) is met.
But when an employee deletes a Leave Request the request is deleted from the list but it gives a message as "Specify a class name".
Can anybody please help us on this( how to complete the workflow whenever the Request is deleted ) and let us know what is the procedure to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Immanuel

Hi Prashanth
Thanks for your quick reply. But that would not solve my problem. My Workflow looks something like this
                           WF-started by entries in configuration tables
                         Some activity in background
                     A fork with 2 parallel processes
                    Approval     Wait for an exception condition using Wait for event step
                      process          (wait till an attribute of a object has a specific value)
                          Workflow completed
The wait step waits for the status of the object to change to DELETED. The Workflow should get completed either if the Approval process is over or the condition specified in the Wait step is satisfied.
But in the case of ESS Leave Request this doesn't work. Is there anything that we need to do to set the status of the Workflow to Completed if the Leave Request is deleted.
Thanks
Immanuel

Req.status = Approved&
Req.status = Withdrawn&
Req.status = Error.
