Change in Working Time - WORKFLOW - MSS

Hi All,
Im Very new to workflow & adobe forms in HCM.
From MSS, manager needs to initiate the workflow to HR administrator(Change in Working Time).
I have create form & ISR Scenario.
Could you please help me in creating the workflow.
Where to specify the ISR Scenario name in workflow, BOR 7051 & form name in WF..?
How to proceed further..?
Thanks,
Rani.

Hi Bentow,
Thanks for your reply.
And in my FS, there is no word like CATS.
Mine is compeltely a workflow part.
I just copying my FS workflow process part: Please Tell me some idea, if possible.
A custom workflow template needs to be developed for Change in Working Time (MSS) process.
Once the Manager submits the Change in Working Time form via MSS for any of the reporting Employees the corresponding Workflow will be triggered.
The workflow will route the submitted form to the relevant HR Administrator (which can be fetched based on an Agent determination rule , if needed or can be maintained in the workflow template).
The HR Administrator will open the form and update the backend SAP system accordingly.
Once the HR Administrator successfully updates the system , he shall process the form and complete it.
Once the form is successfully completed by the HR Administrator , the workflow will send an Email notification to the Manager of the concerned Employee. [In a normal scenario, the Manager will be the Initiator of the current Change in Working Time process]
The above workflow configuration needs to done as part of the usage of HCM P&F framework.
The Workflow will be triggered when the Requestor(Manager) Submits the Change in Working Time
form in MSS.
Thanks in Advance,
Rani,

HCM MSS Change in Working Time - Workflow

Hi All,
Im New to HCM & WOrkflows too...
I need your help, it would be very helpful for me to prove my skills.
I have a requirement like, The requirement is to initiate the Change in Working Time process from MSS( Manager Self-Service ) for a particular employee .
Desc:
Manager can initiate the Change in Working Time process for his /her employees/reportees via MSS . The manager will use a web-based interactive form (Adobe interactive form within HCM P&F framework) to fill in the details of the new changed work schedule of the Employee in question. Once this form is submitted by the Manager , the corresponding workflow will be triggered which sends a work item to the HR Administrator ; the HR Administrator will update the backend SAP accordingly. Once successfully updated an email notofication will be sent to the Manager of the Employee (in normal cases the Manager at this stage is the Initiator of the process)
And how to do this workflow development(only workflow part), if u can please tell me the skeleton structure to achieve this.
i have seen WS61000074 - this is ESS Change in working time. Same thing i need to do in MSS. Only thing is, in MSS Employee is not included.
Thanks in Advance,
Rani.

Approve Working Time in MSS

Hello,
I want to implement "Time Sheet approval" in MSS and I read that it is available as a webdynpro application under the Workset "Team" which should have certain service links in the navigation panel one of which is "Approve Working Times" but the thing is that I do see various overview iviews under the workset but I don't see the service links...how can I get that working ....also how do I configure Time Approval using standard workflow.
Thanks in advance.

Disregard that previous post....I was thinking of another part of MSS that is part of HF still (sorry, working on HF stuff today...haha). now...back to your problem....
In the standard MSS role, you should see:
Manager Self Service (role)
+ Reporting BW
+ Reporting CR
+ Reporting IAC
--> Home (workset)
--> Manager Self Service (workset)
+ Overview (folder)
+ Work Overview (workset)
+ Team (workset)
>Team (webdynpro proxy page)
> Employee information (folder)
> Employee Working Times (folder)
+++ Approve Time Sheet Data
>Performance Mgmt (folder)
>Compensation Mgmt (folder)
etc.
Are you SURE you copied all of this over and have that folder structure? Also, if you open the TEAM (webdynpro proxy page) object (go to it via the delta-link tracer in the role, then select the item in the tracer and pick "show in catalog" to find it and open it).....from the "Display" drop down (next to the row of buttons at the top of the edit screen) pick "Dynamic Navigation". This will show you the "Services" iView. This "Services" iview is what shows all those folders (under the TEAM page in the role laout) as items in the detailed navigation panel. The folder is the "subsection" title and the items in the folder are the actual links (like the "Approve Time Sheet Data" one under the Employee Working Times folder.

Flexible Working time in MSS - Incorrect Locks

Hi All,
We are facing an issue, like manager have an issue that one of their employee showing a padlocked again in MSS flexible working time. We have checked in PA20 and SM04 they are not locked.
Managers are not able to create or change working pattern as they get the message that employee is locked.
Could you please advice how to fix this issue.

if your having authorization for this t-code SM12 then you can do it your self.
Generally it wont be in production system. Take some basis guy help and do unlock for that pernr/user in SM12 t-code what ever lock entries related to that employee number.

Configure working times in project pro 2010

Hello. Our company has project server 2010 up and running. I am a project scheduler, and I am needing to schedule 6 hours of work per day (8AM-3PM, for example). I believe, based on the research I've done, there are a few ways to
do this, including adjusting resource calendars/changing working times. My issue is that when I go to "Change working times", then "work weeks", "Details" is disabled, due to the way the server admins have set-up permissions.
I think the admins can create me a customized calendar...just looking for any outside-the-box recommendations/ideas out there for how to do this, given the constraints i've mentioned?
Thanks,
Ryan

Pardon me for bumping in. As you note, there are a couple of options available - one is to drop the calendar for the project (and base calendar for resources) to 6 hours per day - 30 hours per week.
If you choose to go with that answer, yes, it is best to set the definition of "day" to 6 hours and definition of "week" to 30. I would also change the default start and end to match the calendar. All are taken care of in
File > Options, Schedule.
There are no real risks of not having the calendar match the working time - just strong possibilities for significant confusion. For example: you've change the working time in the calendar (Work weeks) to 08:00 to 3:00 pm - but still left your
definition of "day" to 8 hours. You add a single task to the project with the default 1 day duration. The task will start on Monday but end on Tuesday because you have only allowed 6 working hours per day.
The order of preference for scheduling and calendars: Project calendar initially. Resource calendar when you assign resources. Task calendars may over-ride resource calendars.
Another suggestion: leave the working time and definitions to 8 hours per day. If you want to indicate that your resources can only generate 6 hours of work on tasks in your project during any given 8 hour day, set the resource's maximum units
to 75%. If you assign a resource and enter 8 hours of work, Project will increase the task duration.
I hope this helps.

MSS: Approval of Working Hours - Working Times Changed Subsequently/Locked

Dear All,
I am facing one issue while approving the CATS working hours in portal through MSS.
We are using task TS31000007 for approval.
In our CATS profile we have input fields as:
CO Area, Send. CCtr, Activity Type, Rec. Order, Oper./Act., Work center, Plant , Att./abs. type, Wage Type, Acctg Indicator
When user enters the working hous only against Att. / abs. type, the manager gets the task and approval/rehjection happens successfully.
But when user mentions the other fields as well in addition to Att. / abs. type, and saves the hours, the manager can see the task. But when manager tries to approve/reject the working hours he gets message like below:
At this time, you cannot save the following working times since the employees working times are currently being processed or have just been changed.
Save any other data first and wait a few moments.
You can then choose Back and attempt to save the data again. Your approval decisions are retained but you might see data that is out-of-date.
Alternatively, you can restart the application to see the changes that have been made to this data.
Working Times Changed Subsequently or Locked
Employee Date Number Message
21 29.09.2008 4.00H Not possible to save: Record has changed
But when same manger tries to approve from R3 it is working perfectly.
Please let me know what is going wrong with portal ?
Thanks ,
Vinod

Hello All,
Please suggest the solution.

Approve/Reject Working Time through the Enterprise Portal Workflow

Hey Everyone,
We are currently working on a project to rollout a number new portal services. I was wondering if anyone in ECC or Portal has experience with enhancing the Time Entry Approval process. Is it possible to trigger an email notification when a manager rejects an employees time for any of the configured reasons. I would like an email back to the email to let them know they should change their hours or that their overtime was rejected. I have been spoiled by the deeper config options available for Leave Request.
In the standard workflow task the Item does turn red when rejected, but if employees aren't reviewing their entries they may never know it was rejected before they check their pay stubs.
I would be pretty surprised if the BADI or workflow task would be unable to know there was a rejection because it clearly asks you for a rejection reason and changes the colour of the request in the Record Working Time screen.
Thank you in advance,
Doug

Sid,
I believe we are or have looked into RSWUWFML2, but I will confirm.
After trying a number of different options we are currently looking at using the Rejection check-box and determine if BASIS can redirect the messages to the employee's IT0105 subtype 0010 email address.
Here are some of the notes we have looked at.

MSS approval Working time

Hi gurus,
We are using MSS 1.0 and EP 7 .I have a small problem.For the approval working Time we are using task TS20000460 task and we modified it based on the requirement of the client .Now we have discovered that when manager approves the time in MSS , the infotypes are updated automatically which the client does'nt want that to happen.Is the MSS approval will work the same way or it's because of workflow.Is there any setting to be done so that when the manager approves it the update will go into the CATSDB table but not the infotypes.
Reply is needed very urgently on this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You need to update the CATSWF transaction not to transfer immediately. Also in the approval profile for the iview SAP_Line uncheck the box to transfer immediate.
Hope this helps and maybe by now you have found your answer.

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.

Can we approve working time in UWL without MSS web appl?

Hello Friends,
I have a doubt thats bugging me for the past one week, I have a requirement where an employee enters working time through portal and the manager should approve through the portal.
I have configured ESS and also the backend, thus when an employee enters his working time and releases , a workitem is created in the managers inbox at the backend.
I am using the approval reports RCATSB01 for approving working time in the backend.
I am planning to do the UWL config so that managers can access workitems through portal, <b>Can i use this approval report to approve working time in UWL or is it mandatory to use "Approve working Time" web application from MSS</b>.

Sriram

I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, change language setting. Now what???

This sorted it for me:
Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

Changing default Work Center during CATS time entry

Hi Folks,
I am hoping someone here can throw some expert advice.
Currently during time entry in CATS, we have Work Center coming in from the Work Order. Its getting defaulted without any option to change it. Business here has a need to change it. I have llooked into the CATS profile to see if there is a place that enable the WC to be defaulted.
In Transaction CAC1, there is a section that shows what fields are being defaulted during CAT2 time entry. However I do not see the Work Center as one of the option there.
Can any one help?
In short, where do we disable the defaulting of the WC from the Word Order during time entry?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Adding to what Kapil said; if the work centre is a grayed out in time shet screen then you can go to CAC2 transaction and make it editable. By this way users will be able to change the work centre on screen.

What happens when you try to confirm your details, if you are getting an error message then what does it say ? For a card to be accepted (debit cards are no longer accepted in all countries) it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address as on your account, and have been issued by a bank in your country. If it's not being accepted then do you get the 'none' option on your account ?
