Custom fileds in ESS

Hi Experts,
We have enhanced the infotype 0022 to meet the requirements of the client.
I mean we have added a new field in Infotype 0022 in R/3. Can we see the newly added field on ESS.
If so please let me what are the settings that are to be made to reflect this custom filed in ESS.
Regards,
Smitha

Hi Smitha,
Im not sure if infotype 22 is available as a part of standard ESS services. You need to ask your technical resource to create a custom application in ABAP Webdynpro ( or JAVA WD). You could make use of Fuction Modules like HR_READ_INFOTYPE and HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to read and change the data .
The custom application can be integrated into portal by creating a Webdynpro iview.

How to configure a custom link in ESS for LTA?

I have a requirement to display a pop-up alv report, once user click on a link "Leave_Details" in ESS. I am able to display pop-up alv but background screen is empty as its a separate WD application however I want that as soon as user selects any row from that popup alv it should be fetched and displayed on the LTA screen of Portal. It seems link is not configured so its displaying blank background screen while for other standard links this screen is displayed.
Kindly help in this how we can display a custom link in ESS and after fetching any single record it should be closed and single row would be displayed in LTA screen.
Here the background ESS screen is blank for custom link displaying this pop-up alv.
For other standard links ESS screen is displaying.

Hi Samuli,
Thanks for your reply however here I am not asking how to create popup, it has already created however my question is, how to configure the link used to display that popup alv?
As shown in the screen as soon as user clicks on the given link shown in below screenshot this popup is displayed,
and after clicking on this link, below screen is displayed
Here background screen is empty whereas it should display the ESS screen in the background, so as soon as user select any row from the popup alv, i'll pass the data into ESS screen using BADI.
Kindly revert with possible solution.

Custom fields in ESS webdynpro applications

Hi Experts,
Can you please suggest me where I am going wrong in this scenario? I have a standard application Family member application. We enhanced the infotype 0021 with new fields and corresponding fields are added in screen structures and HCMT_BSP_PA_JP_r0021. This is working fine in the backedn while creating a record in PA30. Standard application in webdynpro is working fine, after that I reimported the model in webdynpro and I can see these fields in my model, so I context binded them in controllers and then to view controllers. There are no errors in it. I added few fields in detail layout. Now when I deployed and run the application after these changes, it is opening up with bizcard view empty and the button for creating a new record showing up, which is not the case should be as I have record in the backend for the same subtype. When I clicked on New record, and even withought filling up required fields, I clicked on continue button, and it is failing giving runtime exception at review view.
Does anybody have any suggestions for me? am I doing the proper steps to make these custom fields available in the screen? does anybody have documentation for adding custom fields in ESS applications or any helpful links, please let me know, I really appreciate your time.
Thanks
Murty

Hi all,
this is lil wierd but the problem is solved in this way.., it might be useful for others, so here is the way I did..,
Once I downloaded the model, I invalidated cache and also, I restarted J2EE, invalidation of cache sometimes acting up i guess. Then build it once again if the service is working fine. After that model bindings, contaxt changes, code changes one at a time and in between after every lil step, I deployed and run the service again, so that I can back that small step if it didnt work out.., finally this was fixed.., but all this process seems wierd about this approach and tiresome too.
Thanks

Custom Reports for ESS/MSS ? with PNP??

I am trying to create a custom report for ESS, and am unsure if I can use the PNP logical database in this code. I am concerned that if the associate does not have access to see those infoytpes in production, then they would not be able to see their own data from those infotypes in ESS.
Can anyone offer their opinion? Thank you!!!!

Hi Subash,
This would be the case.As the J2EE version with ECC6.0 is 7.0 and we need to apply the BP to both ECC and EP.
Try to think , how do you balance EP6.0 with 6.40 J2EE engine <-> ECC6.0 with 7.0 J2ee engine? will get the answer!

Custom field in ESS Bank Information Screen in wrong location

We created two custom fields for WD-ESS Bank Information (1.41). These were added to the iView using Personalization.
Now it is apparent that the Statement text field needs to be above the Checkbox field in order for these to work correctly.
I have tried moving or deleting the fields in the Personalization screen from the iView with no success. Is this possible and if so, how is it done.
If not where on the backend would this be changed.
Thanks,

Custom Validation in ESS Edit Screen

All,
We have a requirement in ESS Address screens that all country users should key in only English Data. We are in SAP ESS SP12 and all the Address Components are in WD Java. The validation on all the address screen fields for this requiement has to be handled and give an error message back to the user.
The Options that I Checked out were:
1) Handling the Validation through BADI HRPAD00INFTYUI or HRPAD00INFTYBL.
2) Handling the validation in WD Java layer inside the country spoecific components isConsistent method of the Detail View Component controller
Which is the best place (ABAP or JAVA) to handle Custom validations on the Edit Screen and give back message to the user? Please suggest if any other better options are available other than the above mentioned ones.
Regards,
Nagarajan.

Hi,
Both are doable if you are good in java and have NWDI ,handling validations in the wd java layer is easy. If you are good in ABAP you can handle in ABAP.It depends on how you write your code, if you do validations in java and if your validation fails you can show errors to user right away which will reduce your call to backend at isconsitent method for checking the errors.

Custom ABAP Webdynpro ESS iView Navigation

Hi,
Do anyone know how we can configure the out of the box SAP Business Package ESS applications to navigate to a custom page?
Just for example, there is a button 'Create Expense Report' in 'All my Trips and Expenses' ABAP Webdynpro app (FITV_POWL_TRIPS), on click, it takes the user to the out of the box 'Create Expense Report' page. Now, if I need to configure this button to take the user to another custom page, how can I achieve that? Is there a configuration that can be changed or we need to change the code?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks
Kiran

Hi,
This will require slight modification of webdynpro abap application.
1. Copy this web dynpro application and create a just look alike copy of it in a new package. This is done in se80 transaction. Do this only after creating a new transport package and a workbench request for it. Your basis consultant will do this.
2. Examine this button in the correspondiong view. It should contain the parameter for you url , Change this url to your required url in the same way.
Thanks,

Employee Varification custom letter in ESS

Hello Experts,
We have a requirement to change the Employee Verification letter format in ESS. how can we do it. Do i need to write a custom app or we can fit the new format somewhere in the system ?
System - ECC 6 + NW 7.0
Thanks
Shobhan

Hope its a new development and i didnt come across any standard services as such. You can do it in the below ways
1. Develop a Adobe PDF display form in R/3. This requires ADS setup.
2. Develop Adobe PDF display form in NWDS and deploy it in Portal Java server. This requires ADS.
3. Develop clasical ABAP report to display text and develop a smart form to convert it to PDF output. Refer HR_ESS_PAYSLIP_TO_PDF.
4. Develop a jsp application.
Let me know if i understood the requirement rightly.

Problem adding custom area to ESS

Hi All,
I have created an Area in SPRO and done all the sub area, service assignment with the PCD page path. When I click the link on the Portal I get an exception saying
Fatal error: Area ZNEWAREA does not exist
In the XssMenu iview, when I change the parameter to any SAP provided area then it works fine. But I am getting this error only for the area I created.
My environment is ESS BP 60.2 and ESS components SP 18 on Portal 7.0 SP 9 with ECC 5.0.
There is a refrence of OSS Note 903370 in earlier posts to solve this problem. But this note seems to have been removed from service parket place.
I have posted the entire exception trace below for your reference.
I would be happy to reward points and close this issue.

RE: Need to create custom fileds in sourcing in SRM

Hi All,
I am working on SRM 4.0. I had a requirement where in Sourcing I need to add a custom field in the standard SRM shopping cart. The best approach is BADI as far as my know ledge is concerned.
Can anybody help me out the procedure, which BADI to use or any other suggestion so that my issue will get resolved.
Await your response.
vishal

Hi Vishal,
To bring customer fields to the sourcing cockpit , you need to add those custom fields to shopping cart first and these fields will automatically show up in the sourcing cockpit.
To add fields in the shopping cart you need to follow the steps given in the following blog:
How to create custom fields in SRM
To find out in which structures the field is to be included you can go through the following notes:
Note 672960 - User-defined fields 2
Note 458591 - User-defined fields: Preparation and use
And after adding the fields in shopping cart you need to regenarate the sourcing screens so that the custom fields are dispalyed in the sourcing cockpit. For doing that the below given note:
Note 632982 - Generation of the screens for the sourcing.
Thanks,
Pradeep

Add search help to customer field in ESS Leave

Hi All ,
I was able to add some required field on the screen by the customer fields like Country.
But some fields need search help, can anyone advice how to add search help.
Is it possible to add field from webdynpro code also , so that I can give search help from there also , if not possible from backend.
Thanks and Regards,
Nuzhat

it needs to be done from backend
you can customise the field to appear from the backend in the portal, and then add a code like a normal field has to build
