Attachments in ESS Portal

Dear All,
We are running SAP versin 6.0 and have the ability to attach documents, scans, etc in the GUI on TRIP and PR05 However we would like to be able to make the same attachments in the SAP Portal.
What is needed to activate this functionality in the Portal.
Best Regards
Marty

This functionality is only available with at least EHP2 (e.g with business function FIN_TRAVEL_1 active) and minimum BP requirement of 1.2 for WD ABAP scenario in portal but also with some limitations for optical archiving in portal as well (further developments for this functionality come with EHP5)
Document types for attachments to a trip are shown due to the use of BUS2089. Document types as archived business documents are shown due to the use of TRAVEL. So you must customize this accordingy.
Attachments > BUS2089, Business documents > TRAVEL.
Documentation here:

Workflow error when submitting Employment Verification Letter in ESS Portal

in ESS Portal, when trying to send the employment verification letter by mail I get a workflow error in ECC. Error occurs in workflow template WS01000045 (Employment and Salary Verification) task TS00408262 (PF: Find basic pay). The employee submitting the verification letter request is an active employee, has infotype 105 data in the system, and has basic pay data in the system.
workflow log (SWI1) shows the "Basic Pay" object available and when double clicking on the object, it brings me to PA20 where I can see the Basic Pay infotype with correct data.
Can someone help?
note: the employee is Canadian, in case this matters.

Have you created the resposibilities for the rule 60100010 becuase if you observe the rule it will determine the agents by using the category Agent Determination: Reponsibilities so i think you missed to create responsibilities
for creating responsibilities [check|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/ef/3dc9469bbe11d189470000e8216659/content.htm]

The user is getting a critical error(com.sap.pcuigp.xssfpm.java.FPMRuntimeException) when trying to access his time statements from ESS portal.

Can I use SAP HR to drive ESS Portal user creation?

Hello
We are implementing a new instance of SAP HR and Portal for ESS and MSS and I am not sure of all the steps that need to be completed so any guidance / tips would be greatly appreciated.
Company currently has an LDAP - but not used extensively. Not all employees currently in LDAP as not all have network ids. All employees will have a SAP account to enable ESS (via Kiosks etc). ESS iViews in Portal will call SAP HR and possibly SAP BW. We have an instance of SAP already and user admin maintained via CUA - this will continue.
Scenario:
My initial thoughts are that we try to use SAP HR as the leading system to drive the ESS Portal users and access. Basically I want to create the user in SAP and assign them an ESS SAP role... then through syncronization have the user created in the Portal and have the correct ESS Portal assigned (in the Portal)
My thinking so far is to go the following way;
1) Create User Master Record in SAP (SU01)
2) Hire employee into the org structure (via HR processes)
3) Populate Infotype 0105 with SAP username
4) Populate Infortype 1016 - with SAP role to be assigned to allow ESS access (not sure about this aspect) or role could be assigned in 1) above
I am not sure of the next steps - I think there must be a way in an SAP table to map the ESS SAP role to the ESS Portal Role (is this via WP3R?)
then I am hoping that a standard job can be run (is this RSLDAPSYNC_USER) that will create the user in the Portal (UME?) and assign the correct Portal role ?
(obviously configuration needed)
For MSS and HR Power users - we would continue to assign SAP roles via SU01.
Can anyone assist with;
- Is my thinking correct in terms of how this should / could work?
- in SAP how can I map SAP Roles to Portal Roles ?
- will syncronization in SAP create the user in Portal and assign the role ? what do I need to configure?
Thanks in advance

Dear Michale,
I just dont know if this can throw some light on your prob.'
In our Orgn we had around 250 ess users and 200 sapr/3 users. Some of the r/3 users also logon to ess via their r/3 uname and password.
What we have done is like follows:
1. Created a role for only the ess users ZHRESS. For this i asked the HR functional people with sap_all profile to do all the job which the ESS users are supposed to do and tracer the authorization via tcode st01. We created the role on the basis of this trace report.
2. For the purely ESS users we created the users via tcode HRUSER and assigned then with the above role.
3. For the R/3 users who are supposed to avail the ess facility we assigned them with the role ZHRESS role in addition to the other roles assigned to them to carry out their normal R/3 transactions. Then we mapped their R/3 uname to their employee no via PA30 infotype 105.
4. Tcode HRUSER saved time which would have consumed had we done it via su01 and moreover it picked Name etc data from the HR master table. In HRUSER tcode , setting the user attributes helps to define what roles the users are to be assigned, what should be their initial password etc.
Pl let me know if it satisfies you querry.

Dear Vinodh
Normally there might be many reasons for pics not getting displayed, as u have said that the photo is already visible in R/3 then u need to check the following things
1) check S_WFAR_OBJ authorization object has been maintained or not.
2) Access T-code PZUSWHO & check whether the following settings are maintained or not.
Check these links as it entails how to upload the Photos

Kindly come up with screen shots,
Hope this solves ur problem.

Integration of ESS Portal and SAP

Hi,
Project Systems report RPSISKB000 - Capacity Requirements Overview (t-code CN50N) is a report works correctly when analyzing time that was entered via the R/3 GUI in transaction CAT2 u2013 Time Sheet: Maintain Times. However, when executing against time entered via Employee Self Service (ESS) Time Sheet Entry, the u201CActual Worku201D hours are not pulling through to the report.
I believe this is because when time is entered via ESS Time Sheet Entry the fields Capacity ID (KAPID) and Split Number (SPLIT) in table CATSDB are not populated. These two fields are populated when time is entered via the R/3 GUI in transaction CAT2.
I need how to populate these two fields when time is entered via ESS. How data flows from ESS Portal to SAP.
How SAP and ESS Portal integrated for data flow in between.
Thanks,
Suresh

You have to ensure that these fields in The CATS profile are set as input in CAC2 ie fields should be input and not is display

Dear All,
We need Flexi Benefit Pay option in ESS portal for India.
We tried a lot for the same but could not get any break through....
We found Salary Packaging option in R3 under the Tcode P16B_admin...this is wrking fine in R3 but we want this option in portal so that employees can choose their own salary structure.
We tried to pull this tcode thru Iview but the R3 screen is giving an option for employee to input pernr no. ...so now any employee can input anybodys pernr no. and modify the salary structure.
also please letme know if this is a standard feature or we have to go for standard development.

Business Purpose field hidden in ESS portal for only one user

Hi All,
We have one wiered error while creating an expense reort in ESS portal and this is only for one employee out of 15,000 users.
Problem:
The additional information for expense type " Business Purpose " field was hidden for one employee and infact this is a required field and the rest of 14,999 users are able to see this filed while creating an expense report.
We wern't able to replicate the same error in other systems like QA/ Dev boxes with the same authorizations and even from the same laptop. This user got the same problem even by logging into different laptop.
SAP ECC 6.0 - Release 603 .
Any suggestions or ideas will appreciate.
Thanks
Anil

Thanks for the reply.
We do not normally assign the Content Admin role in EP to the end user and his back end ECC role and EP portal role is 100% equal to the other users. Audit won't allow to assign any special roles to end users.

User Management in ESS Portal

Dear Gurus.
I would like to request help on how to configure user management in the ESS portal by assigning to our Information Security Office (ISO) the resetting and unlocking of password only. Is this possible without giving the assigned person an SAP Application Professional license? We don't want to give this person access to R3 where he can create and assign SAP_ALL profile to himself.
We are just using SAP HCM and only HR people are given the SAP Application Professional license with access to R3. Appreciate help on this, especially if you can tell me SAP Notes or documentation that will detail the step-by-step process.
Thanks a lot.
Ariel

Hi Ariel,
Looks like this query is more related to SAP ECC (r/3) system, nothing related to portal user management. And the way i've see and also checked it's not possible to enable a ECC User only with Resetting & Unlocking the password. There are no auth-objects that can restrict the user to do so!!! This is neither possbile in Portal User Admin also..!
But still suggesting you to open a query in Basis Admin forum for admin-experts opinions.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
MS
