Customize ESS LR Workflow

Hi,
I have to customize the ESS Leave request workflow process.
For this I have copied the standard workflow WS12300111 to 95000002 and done all the config related changes in PTARQ. The new workflow is working fine and Leaves can be Applied as reqd.
Help Needed :
1). I need to do the following check. If a Manager applies for a leave for his/her employee, the LR workflow should not follow the Normal approval process. It should be completed sending a mail to the employee. How can I do this ?
2). How can I add my Custom Notification messages for all cases in this workflow. This is a OO workflow and I am new to this. Kindly help.
3). I came to know that there are a number of Reports which needs to be scheduled in background for this workflow like : RPTARQEMAIL, RPTARQPOST, RSWWCOND, etc.
Can I get a COMPELTE list of these reports which needs to be scheduled and the standard Freequency/Interval in which these needs to be shceduled please.
Thanks a LOT for help in advance. I need this info ASAP as our build phase is going to be complete on this week.
Thanks again.

As, per my understanding it is not required to code anything.
Coming about the first point: If you have noticed in the workflow, there is a container element &REQ.APPROVAL& which chooses if the request need to be sent for approval or not. Find what value is getting binded to this container element & if it is not equal to 'X' it will not be sent for approval.
Second point: You can use deadline monitoring at Approval Process activity, In the "LatestEnd"  provide from time of the Workitem creation to 28 days & used action as Modeled. From the outcome of the step, use a process control activity to Complete the Workflow.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sudhir.

  • Ess/Leave Workflow Still In Process(In a specific snario when Escalated )

    Hi Guru's,
    I have a problem with Ess/Leave workflow.
    when the leave is applied from the portal which is triggering workflow and reching to the right agent and when the leave is withdrawn , then which is completing the workflow which is fine.
    Recently i have added Escalation functionality using deadline monitoring which is working fine.
    But when the leave request is escalated and withdrawn from the initiator is not changing the status of the workflow to be completed and still continuing in the Still In Process.
    To complete the workflow ,there is an wait event after the approval process which is waiting for the status change for posted or withdrawn or error and working fine when the work item stayed with the direct manager and no escallation is happend.
    When Escalation happend and the leave is withdrawn the status is changing in the workflow container to withdrawn but the event is not firing in the wokflow which needs to be triggered to complete the workflow which is not happening and the work item keeps on escalating to the other managers.
    Please help me ASAP and let me know if anybody not clear about anything.
    Regards,
    Raj.

    Helo Every one,
    thanks for your inputs,
    I m not sure that wether i explained properly or not.But i will try to explain more elobrately.
    My leave request workflow is Zworkflow which is working fine in the production.Recently in the last month business request for escalation of leave request when direct manager not approved with in the time frame.
    So i added latest end to the Approve task which uses the ABAP class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS and Method Dummy.
    So the task has 3 outcomes one is deadline reached,process obsolete and processed. and after that i added a loop which will create new work item when escalated.
    When i apply a leave on the portal the workflow is triggering and stopping in the Approve step in the log which is fine and when i with withdrawn the leave without any escallation it is taking one of the brach Processed which i mentioned above and reaching to the event and completing the workflow which is 100%.
    When the direct manager doe'nt approve then it is escallating to the next level manager which is fine.Once the escallation happen and the leave is withdrawn by the Employee(Initiator) then it is not taking any of the 3 paths which i mentioned above and not reacting at all.But the status in the workflow container REQ.STATUS is changing to "WITHDRAWN".
    The same thing is happening for the APPROVE once escallation happens.It keeps on escallating even the leave is approved and posted in the database.
    Please reply me if you are not clear.
    Thanks,
    Raja.

  • Is there a way to customize the MDM Workflow email notification content?

    I am looking for a way to customize the MDM Workflow email / notification  content. For example, I might want to put the Supplier ID(s) of the impacted supplier records (be it Update, Insert & Delete) into the email body or put an URL into the email body.
    Can MDM Workflow do this?
    Is there any workaround?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    What you can do is add a boolean field to the repository, for instance "Send Mail". You can use an assignment in the Workflows to set this field to true. Next, define an updatelistener and pick up the change to this field. If the value is "true", send out an email. Afterwards, let the listener change the value back to "false".
    Good luck,

  • Customize Service Request workflow

    Hi,
    I need to customize our SR workflow to automatically close SR (soft and hard) after a specific amount of time. I'm dealing with workflow for the first time and have no idea where to start. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    There are business events on Service Request Update,Create,Status Update etc.
    You can subscribe a PL/SQL function to that with the business logic of creating a workflow process which will wait for a specific amount of time and close the SR by calling CS_SERVICE_REQUEST_PUB.Update_Status...
    I don't remember the exact procedure in PUB..check it out.

  • Need Help : ESS LR Workflow WS12300111

    Hi ,
    I want help related to ESS Leave Request workflow WS12300111.
    1). In our case, a Manager can also raise a Leave for an Employee (in MSS -> My Team Details -> Create Leave for Employee). I need to identify in the workflow that whether the employee has applied for the Leave or the manager has applied on behalf of the employee. If the employee is raising the leave the workflow should follow normal approval process. If manager applies for employee, NO Approval should be required and the Leave should get posted.
    Query : Do I need to add a new step in the standard workflow for this ?? Hoe can I identify when a manager is creating leave for employee and when an actual employee is creating leave for his own ?
    2). In our case, If the Manager donu2019t approve the Leave for 28 days, the workflow should get completed after sending a mail to the employee for raising a new request.
    Query : Do I need to add a new step in the standard workflow for this u2013 as a modelled deadline ??
    Do I need to write ANY code for these two things ? If so where can I write code ? Do I need to create a new CLASS or Write code in the BADI CL_PT_ARQ_REQ ??

    As, per my understanding it is not required to code anything.
    Coming about the first point: If you have noticed in the workflow, there is a container element &REQ.APPROVAL& which chooses if the request need to be sent for approval or not. Find what value is getting binded to this container element & if it is not equal to 'X' it will not be sent for approval.

  • Customize ESS..NWDI info reqd.

    Hello All,
    I am using EP 7.0 with ECC 6.0 and ESS 1.0.
    The applications are working fine. now i want to customize some of the applications say..Bank Info.
    I searched the forum and found it can be done using NWDI. I am aware of NWDS but not NWDI.
    will request someone to update me on this.
    If this required some seperate installation, what all files need to be downloaded and from where?
    And how to open the package ESS 1.0 in it to customize it.
    regards
    Justin

    Hi Justin,
              Brief info about NWDI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_Netweaver_Development_Infrastructure_(NWDI) for more go through this forum NWDI
    You need to install NWDI separately for this you need download the files from SAP marketplace matching to your version.I think you can get the required .SCA files   from SAP market place.  
    Then you need to create tracks and compartments. Open Development Infrastructure perspective.Then you are able to create a project from your ESS track into your NWDS(For this you need to create an activity). And then do the modifications you want. Then Check-in, Activate and transport the activity to the server.

    Hi
    currently i am working on sap ess workflows . i have customized standard workflow (ws12300111) where when manager approvesor rejects the leave in portal, mail has to send to user's portal inbox and  email id assigned to user .
    in workflow level - i have used 'sendmail' step and given agent as initiator . now mail is going to sap inbox .
            can you please guide me (step by step if Posiible) how should i do it.
    Regards,
    Sreeharsha. 
    Points will be rewarded.

    mail has to send to user's portal inbox and email id assigned to user
    Not sure if you want a email or SAP mail. Can you clarify the above statement?
    If you want to send a notification mail which needs to be displayed in UWL
    Search for keyword SONIC in this forum and blogs section. You will get the solution
    If you want to send a notification email to the email id of the user
    You need to determine the email id of the user and use the sendmail step to send email (your SCOT settings need to be condigured by your BASIS team)

  • ESS Timecorrection Workflow WS121300111

    Hello
    I want to use a WF for the ESS scenario Timecorrection (clock-in clock-out). The standard WF 12300111, which is recommended by SAP, works for the scenario Leave Request. If I use it for Timecorrection, it shows Workitems in the UWL with Leave Request texts. Clicking on the workitem leads you back to Leave Request and not to Timecorrection.
    SAP says, I shall use 12300111 as example an build my own WF. What do I have to do? I'm not a WF expert.
    Thanks for help
    Joachim

    Hello Joachim,
    first and foremost SAP hasnt delivered a Approval Application like the leave request approver, for the clockin-/out scenario. If you plan to use it anyway you have to either develop your very own Approval application or you have to use a generic decision task in your workflow as approval step.
    In order to alter the standard leave request workflow (WF 12300111) you first have to copy it and replace the dialog task with a custom task. For this custom task you can easy alter the text.
    I hope this helps a bit
    regards,
