Authorizations for Record Working Time

hi experts,
I assigned the copied role Z_SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP to a ESS user on R/3 side. The user is trying to access Record Working Time web dynpro application on Portal. He gets an error "there is no authorization to this activity". Does the standard role SAP_EMPLOYEE_ROLE not have the required authorizations?
If not, what authroization is needed for accessing CATS Web Dynpro on portal?
I appreciate your help.
Regards

Hi
Also check these:
1. In IT105 create a record assigning the user id to the personnel number in subtype 0001.
2. Ensure that the profile you have provided in CVR parameter and the profile you have customized are one and the same. Else, SAP will default 'ESS' profile to the employee on Portal.
3. If the above doesn't work out, create a new user in HRUSER - tcode, assign proper R/3 & ESS roles, parameter and then test.
If this helps, pl do reward.
Thanks

How to change colors for record working time calendar

Hi,
I would like to change the colors in the calendar displayed in record working time based on some conditions.
How do i do that is there any BADI associated with that
Thanks
Bala Duvvuri

Hi Bala ,
Yes its possible to change that .
You need to implement BADI for this ..
BADI name : "PT_ABS_REQ"
In the BADI "PT_ABS_REQ" interface "IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ" you can find the method
"SET_CALENDAR_COLOR" in that you can set the colure for the Absent type ......
Adjust Colors of Calendar and Team Calendar
Functionality
You can use this method to change the colors in the team calendar.
In the standard system, the different statuses for requests have different colors. You can use this method to differentiate the colors of requests depending on the following aspects:
Status of requests (status)
Action that an employee has executed: new request, delete, change (UIA operation)
Subtype of absence (SUBTY)
Full-day or partial-day absence (BEGMT, where BEGMT = 0 signifies a full-day absence)
Application mode ( mode). You specify the application mode in the Select Employees for the Team Calendar IMG activity.
Color Display of Status of Leave Requests(COLORS_ACTIVE). You specify this status in the Specify How Leave Is Displayed and Default Values IMG activity.
Available Colors
You have a choice of 16 colors. The 16 colors are hard coded, that is, you cannot change them or add other ones.
The available colors are stored with their RGB value as constants of the CL_PT_REQ_CONST class. Use these constants if you want to change the colors.
Notes
If you change the colors in the team calendar, you should also adapt the legend accordingly. You can use the Adjust Legend for Calendar and Team Calendar method to do so.
Hope this work!!!

How to implement Manager Selfservice - Recording Working Time - BP

Hi!
I would like to have a stepby step approach to implement business package for recording working time.
What I need is the following information?
1. Pre-requisites
2. How to create the iview ?
3. What R3 configurations need?
you can email if you have good documentation on this to [email protected]
Thank you
Ramesh

The primary limitation you will encounter when trying to do high speed
digital I/O using your E-Series hardware is that the digital lines are
all software timed. This means that for each and every digital
read it is necessary for your software to issue a command to your
hardware, read a single point, then receive the response from the
board. This prevents you from performing digital operations at
very high speed. In general, I would say that 100 microseconds is
a very good response using software-timed digital I/O on a Windows
computer.
It is difficult to make a good recommendation without more detail about
what you are trying to do. You may need to consider switching to
a Real-Time operating system, or upgrading your DAQ hardware to a board
that will allow you to time your digital acquisitions on the board
itself. These devices, such as the m-Series DAQ or the PCI-653x
series, would allow you to use hardware triggers for your digital
acquisitions, change detection, and buffered data acquisitions to
reduce the software overhead involved in a rapid acquisition.

MSS Record Working Times header

I am losing the employee's name in the screen header when I use a custom Webdynpro Application Configuration for Record Working Times on Behalf of Employee in MSS.
Here is what I've done...
The ZHRESS_AC_CATS_1_CP_1 in the screenshot below is an exact copy of HRESS_AC_CATS_1. I did not make any changes to it.
When I specify the standard HRESS_AC_CATS_1 in the Launchpad:
This is what the Record Working Times header looks like:
But when I specify ZHRESS_AC_CATS_1_CP_1 (EXACT copy of HRESS_AC_CATS_1) in the Launchpad:
This is what the header looks like:
Does anyone know why I'm losing the employee's name, and how I get it back?

Hello David,
I guess this is a limitation of CATS application.
Please go through the below thread carefully. You can find the hint in Martin's reply.

Extra fields in search help window in Record working time EHP5

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know how to add additional fields/select options in search help window for Record Working Time ?
My system is EHP5 NW 7.02
I have added the custom search help for the respective filed in table " TCATS_SHLP_ITS".
I can see this table is having entry for only 4 selection options and 6 value fields for search help display.
But in my custom search help programme is having 8 select options(for advance search) and 10 display fields on the search window. It's working from CAT2 transaction but when I am running through webdynpro timesheet, I can only get 4 select options and 6 value fields.
Please let me know how to make the other fields available.
Thanks in advance.
Sonia

Hi Siddharth,
Thanks for your response. In that modify possible entries screen (Details view) I can see the search help is only having 4 select options and 6 display fields.
So as per my understanding max 6 display fields/4 select options can only be displayed on search window.
My requirement is to display more fields on search help OVS window.
Can you please suggest.
Thanks ,
Sonia

ESS: Record working time - employee name and number

Hi All,
I'd like to display the employee number and name in the Record working time screen.
Please help me with the configuration I need to do in IMG or on the portal side.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajit
Points will be awarded.

Hi Siddharth,
On the General Information page, there's a Related Activity iview which contains a link for Record Working Time.
A manager can select an employee in the Data View and then can click on the Record Working Time link which opens up that emp's time sheet.
In such a case, display of employee number and name is very useful and I'm trying to solve this.
In IMG's "Define Field Selection" -> Data entry section, there are employee number and name fields that I set for the data entry profile. But they are not displayed in the portal.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Rajit

ESS Record Working Time .. Restrict Time Entry with Relative limit

Hi SDN Users,
We are using ERP 2005 and EP 7.0 with webdynpro java ESS applications for Time, Travel and Personal Information.
In the ESS Record Working Time application, a user can scroll to any date he wants in the past or in the future and record/edit working times. The application does not take into consideration the setting made in the time entry profile for relative limit.
Please suggest the best way I can include this in the webdynpro application for Record Working Time. (in other words I would like to restrict the users to NOT be able to scroll before and later than 1 week from the current week).
Can this be achieved by modifying any ABAP program / BADI / User Exit (OR)
Would this require Webdynpro Code changes ?
Please suggest some changes if any one has gone through a similar requirement.
Thank You,
Salome

Hello Salome ,
You can use the following way out for this :
Lets say you want to allow one week before Begda , rest entries not allowed .
1. VcCatRecordentry View - make a method called dateValid(); this would return true / flase
we can get begda and endda.
wdcontext.currentcontextelement.gettimesheetBegda();
wdcontext.currentcontextelement.gettimesheetendda();
Date sysDate = new Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis());
int sysDay = sysDate.getDay();
2. Instantiate the Calendar Calendar c1 = new GregorianCalendar();
3. c1.add(c1.DATE,-7);
Date dt_end = c1.getTime();
now compare the dt_end to begda if it return >0
then in on action navigation nxt - report exception
this would work , since I did the same and it worked absolutely well for me .

Record working time: can't copy row from worklist for previous week

If I recall correctly, the Windows clipboard system allows the developer to place different types of data in the clipboard, and convert between them. It is often possible, for example, to paste formatted text as plain text and so on. Large amounts of data are sometimes stored as "links" back to the producing program, so that it can transfer data directly.
Now this is just a guess, but when you select all with Ctrl+A, there's a chance that Skype in fact puts all the information about the whole message into the clipboard, including its metadata such as time, sender, etc. Dragging would just select the text.
If the receiving program cannot interpret the metadata, and the plain-text version is not also stored in the clipboard, then pasting would fail.
Again, as I say, this is just a guess. We would have to get confirmation from the Skype developers as to whether this is true.
Have you tried pasting into different programs? (Word, plain text editor, Powerpoint...) If one of them can accept the clipboard contents then we may get a further clue.
EDIT: I found this program which inspects clipboard contents directly - http://www.peterbuettner.de/develop/tools/clipview/ which may also be of use.

Team Cal showing double entries for Att entered in Record Working Time

We just noticed in our QA testing that Attendances that we have included in our team calendar configuration is showing as multiple entries. Then when we check IT2002 the entries are fine. What could be causing these phantom entries to appear?
I've been looking at SPRO and PTARQ to see what could be causing it and I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary.
Thoughts?
Doug

Raja.D,
I can't think of any config that would cause the double entries. However, I am looking into the notes suggested in the replies above. In test mode for request its only showing 1 entry for each attendance, but in team calendar test it shows 2. Every attendance has one record with a request id and one without.
These attendances are entered through record working time, but are viewable through the team calendar.
Thanks,
Doug

Rule Groups in Record Working Time- Differnt attendances for different emp

I have a requirement. I have 2 different set of employees Salaried and Hourly. In record working time these 2 different set of employees should have differnt set of attendance types in the drop down. I know in Leave request this can be achieved via Rule Groups and WEBMO, but how do I do the same in Record working Time?

I can recommend better to use User exits or build a custom search help or a check depending upon employees criteria
Now in CATS WD as you are aware uses different search help
ie CLASS CL_XSS_CAT_RFC_COMMAND_TOOLS method BUILD_F4_HELP
SAPLHRXSS_CAT_WEBDYNP / LHRXSS_CAT_WEBDYNPU02
FUNCTION / HRXSS_CAT_WD_F4_AWART
This would be straight forward. Using authorisation would be tough to implement

Custom Search help in Record Working Time

Hi,
We have a requirement to add a custom field on RECORD Working Time ( ESS). This field has been added and custom search help is assigned to the data element of the field. The values in the F4 help should vary based on employees department.
The related code for this requirement is written in the serach help exit. The F4 help is working as expected from backend ( ECC) but not in Portal (ESS).
I have added the custom field in TCATS_SHLP_ITS. After maintaining this table all the values in F4 help are displaying , whereas it should only display the values under employees department in Record Working time.
I understand the class cl_xss_cat_value_help_general is responsible for the search help in ESS is there any user exit or enhancement available for this class in order to control the serach values on ESS.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Pradeep

note that search help of CAT2 and record working time are different!
these are teh steps
please modify the following in the table TCATS_SHLP_ITS as follows:
1. Execute the T-Code SM31
2. Enter the table name TCATS_SHLP_ITS.
or check the class
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP_GENERAL
or check
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP*
take an example from Sap note 914125

Record Working Time task merging multiple employees into a single task

Hi Everyone,
I'm going to check our configuration again to see if this is standard behaviour, config, or a problem with EHP 3's version of record working time.
So if employee A submits to manager A 1 task is created. Then when employee B submits to manager A we were expecting 2 tasks. However, we've been noticing manager A is getting 1 task with several line times.
We are ok with it merging tasks for employee A over multiple weeks. That is ideal actually.
The problem is that employee B's task should be separate.
Is there a quick fix?
Thanks,
Doug Robbins

I did try 31000007 and noticed the same behavior. Are you saying I should use an older version of the task to get back to grouped by employee number and not merging everything?
Well this causing us issues for a few reasons. The main one we developed a work around because we had to make sure emails were not being sent to 1 person for all the employees with their data. That would cause obvious security concerns.
But when forward tasks out managers want to be able to forward a specific employee's requests and not all of them. If some customers want this it should be a configurable option. To allow companies that want 1 single task or companies that want 1 task/employee/week.
This is inconsistent with the other portal applications. It would be nice if Germany picked 1 way of doing things or provided more configuration options. I'm hoping that OSS gives us something because merging everything into a single task for all employees is not the behaviour we want or expected.
I always appreciate your input because you have been very helpful as I learn about portal.
Thanks,
Doug R
Thanks you

How to restrict the dropdown values in Att/abs type in Record Working Time

Hello experts,
We are implementing ESS business package. In the Record Working time, within the Weekly View and Daily View tabs, there is a column Att/abs.type which has several drop down values - like: floating value, Funeral Leave, Military Reserve, Regular Attendance, etc. Our requirement is to restrict the dropdown values by means of showing only one of these values (say: Regular Attendance) and others should not be shown. How do we achieve this?
Thanks
Vicky R.

Hi Siddarth,
Thanks for the info. By the way, this table info is not mentioned in the Business Package documentation. Which documentation are you referring to?
Thanks

Header information not displaying in ABAP Webdynpro record working time

1. I am not seeing the header information, personnel number, name, cost center, on the ABAP Webdynpro record working time timesheet. When I run the timesheet profile in CAT2 the header contains the personnel number, name, cost center, but these do not display when the ABAP Webdynpro timesheet is run
2. Is there a version of the ABAP webdynpro timesheet that prompts for the personnel number, date and profile prior to executing the timesheet? I want to define an ESS link for managers to update timesheets of individual teammates. The teammate do not necessarily have to be their direct reports

Hi David,
CATS Webdynpro application is a OIF fpm. Please check if you have performed the FPM IDR configuration properly.
In standard, the ESS CATS does not prompt for the personnel number except in CE scenario. In MSS addon, you have an option to launch the ESS CATS application on-behalf of the employee. Please refer to the sap library documentation.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Roy
