Attendance on ESS.

Hello,
I want to know what are all the standard applications that can be used to record the attendance of the employee on ESS. Further i wanted to know if any application can be built on ESS that can record the employee's attendance?
Thanks.
Regards,

Hi,
Employees usually do not enter their attendances using ESS even though CATS can be used to record them. This is in negative time recording. But if the company wants to have a positive time recording there are various methods to record the attendances like swipe card systems (barcode cards, magnetic cards) (many SAP vendors sell the machines), bio-metric systems etc.
Once the data thus captured can be taken to various attendance infotypes and processed.

  • Ess standard iviews

    hi experts,
                   can you please tell me anyone, is there any standard iview regarding attendances in ESS?
    How do we deploy attendance iviews into portal?
    if you have any ess standard iviews screen shots , plz refer me.
    THANKS & REGARDS

    We have attendance overview in MSS also Team calendar can be configured to show attendances using table v_t554s_web
    Apart from that you can see Recording working time.

  • Training & Events Management

    Hi all,
    We have implemented Training & Events Management & ESS.  The employees can book their attendance through ESS.  Now the user wants that the Training Calender should be viewable according to Employee subgroup.
    Eg : Employee A belongs to Top Management employee group then he should be able to view all training programme and if Employee B belongs to General staff employee then he should be able to view only training programmes related to him.
    Where can we configre this in T & E Mgt. that this Training programme is valid for this Employee subgroup.
    Thanks & Regards,
    SB

    Hi,
    In the ESS, all the Employees in the Organisation are able to view all the list of Training Programs that are going to occur.In standard SAP there is no provision in SPRO to restrict the user to view the Training programs based on ESG.
    The display of the Training Programs in ESS as per ESG cannot be controlled.
    However we can restrict the Booking & Pre-booking of the Business Event & Business Event Types by making custom tables specifying which ESG are eligible for which Business Event & Business Event Types.
    These Custom Tables will be referred before the execution of Booking/Pre-booking Badii.
    Warm regards,
    Abhijeet

  • Ess Time Sheet and Attendance Web Dynpro - ABAP or JAVA

    We are determining the resources we will be needing for the HR - ESS Time Sheet and Attendance Module.   
    What is this module written in.  ABAP Web Dynpro or Java Web Dynpro.
    Many thanks, 
    Multiple replies welcome.
    Ken

    The ESSTimeSheet is now called Record Working Time & for now it is still in WebDynpro JAVA.. looking at how complex the whole application is, it will really take some beating to rewrite the same in WDA.

  • ESS attendance/absecen category code display only

    Hello,
    We need to displays only the attendance code only with no textual description when recording time.
    When recording time for the employee through MSS (historically known as "ESS in MSS") using Java iview Approve Working Times in Business Package for Manager Self-Service (SAP ERP) 1.4. works OK we can see it displays the attendance code only with no texttual description.
    But is not the same case when recording time directly from ESS using iwiew CATS regular/Record Working Time in Business Package for Employee Self-Service 1.41 is not OK beacise it shows code + textual description.
    Is there a way in configuration or user-exit could change the ESS recording time displays the attendance code?
    Thaniks in adavance.

  • Error Not enough quota 30 for attendance/absence in ESS Leave Request

    Good Morning
    I am trying to create a "Leave Request" using ESS with  "Floating Days".  It has a cuota manual.  When trying to create the leave request in ECC all works fine, but when trying to create the same leave request in ESS the following error occurs:
    Not enough quota 30 for attendance/absence 0261 on 05.03.2008 for personnel no. 20001140
    Some can help me?
    Best Regards,
    Wilman

    Hi,
    I would suggest the following :
    Step1: Check your IT 2006/IT 2007 for your Absence and Attendance Quotas.
    Step 2: You can also verify the same information using the PT50 transaction ( quota Overview)
    Step 3: By doing the above you ensure that the person has the required quotas.
    Step4: logon to ESS and do the request for leave.if it does not let you, then there is some problem in the config in the ESS. I cannot tell you this from top of my head. We need to look into the portal to see what exactly the problem.
    regards

  • Error message in ESS

    Hi All,
    I am getting an error message displayed on the portal in ESS business package whenever I enter the working time hours (that comes under Record Working Time application in Attendance workset) in the wrong format. Can anybody suggest me where do I go and change this error message.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    tom,
    go to SPRO / Personnel Management / Employee Self Services / Service-Specific Settings / Working Time / Clock-In/Out Corrections / Processing Processes / Configure Output of Messages
    (or maintain View V_HRWEB_TRS_MESS directly in SM30)
    the SPRO Help gives you hints how to do that.
    otherwise you can maintain MODIFY_APPLICATION_MESSAGES method of the PT_GEN_REQ Business Add-In

  • Not able to get a link to the fron-end portal(ess) with back-end sap R\3 AB

    Hi,
       In the back-end i.e sap abap-hr , the required data (leave types) are available.But on front-end Portal(ESS) ,the drop-down menu in personal LOA forms shows only two leave types(personal & self-funded leave).i got struck in how to make few in remaining also viewable in the drop-down list.Can anyone help me on this?

    Bottom line,
    to configure the Leaves on your portal you have to do.
    1. Configure the Leave Types and all the customizing on T554S.
        opc. If you want to have quota deduction, and everything else you should check V_T559L, T556C, T556A as well.
    2. Configure the Leaves on the Portal.  This is done on the IMG path colleague replied:
    >Personnel Management
    >Employee Self-Service
    >Service-Specific Settings
    >Working Time
    >Leave Request
    >Processing Processes
       a. Create the Rule Groups - this step you just create them.
       b. Adjust feature WEBMO - The feature WEBMO is used to select the rule group. Most of the times based on MOLGA and Ctrl. Center.
       c. Define Processing Processes for Each Rule Group - define the processes such as how to record partial day leaves, details on to check PTREQ_HEADER tables for unposted leaves, and how to determine workflow's next agent (more info press F1 on each of these fields)
       d. Specify Processing Processes for Types of Leave - Associate the Leaves from T554S that you want to show on the portal. This includes Absences and ATtendances. Here you define data such as if you are allowed to create leaves on the past, present and future; field customizing, and other details.
    Since Time Management is an old part of SAP the F1 documentation is very complete so I really advise you to check.
    Also, check http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/LeaveRequestCustom+Messages
    for how to have custom warning messages to show on your leaves.
    I hope I have clarified.
    Kind Regards,
    Bentow.

  • Reports available in the Business Package for MSS and ESS

    Hi,
    I have searched sdn.sap.com throughout looking for a comprehensive list of reports available in the business packages for both MSS and ESS, i got a little bit of joy and found some of the MSS reports but not all on sdn.sap.com, can anyone please advise where i would find such information on both these packages, just to re-iterate, i am looking for a list of reports these business packages offer? any help much appreciated.
    Thanks

    P.s any documents can be sent to [email protected]

    @John
    (1) ESS- We built our own custom PORTAL role/workset in which one of the worksets we created is called "Tools and Forms". Under that workset, we placed various pages/iViews that either are simple URL iViews that link to external documents and such (like vacation request forms since they do not do online leave requests yet) as well as a couple ot t-code iViews that run reports in ECC for the employee. Nothing very mind blowing there. Just some content creation on the portal side.....oh, and some config on the backend to create a Homepage Framework Area Page and all for it (I liked that part!)
    (2) Wow....talk about perfect timing...I just had to document the way MSS sees the MDT reports in it's "reporting" area yesterday! haha Here goes the quick explaination....in configuration for MDT, you have various "scenarios". These kinda determine which "groups" of reports will show in MDT. For MSS for the Reporting webdynpro/service, the scenario is RPT0 (in ECC 5.0, at least). Soooo if you look at the function CODES assigned to RPT0, you will see several for Training and one for Accounting (Cost Centers)...you can reference the function CODES listed back to the "pool"/library of function codes a bit up/previous in the same config area for MDT(I think it is called "Define Function Codes"). However, there is one more piece you will see listed under RPT0....it is a DIRECT call to function MODULE "HR_HIS_READ" (this was a bugger to find because I could not find the "Maternity" report listed in the function codes and had to figure out where the heck it was coming from! haha). Anyways....what the function MODULE actually does is call the HR Information System (HIS) passing it the RPT0/MSS scenario. This returns the particular reports for Employee Data and Time&Attendance. You can see this if you run the HR_HIS_READ function directly and enter RPT0 for the second input value (first and third are not needed or you can just enter "*". Sooooo that is how the "magic" happens. Hope that explained it. From there, you can simply config you own scenario/reports to add into MSS if you like.
    Hope this helped!
