Employee Search in MSS Approve Time Sheet Data

Employee Search in MSS Approve Time Sheet Data (Net Weaver Portal 2004s)
In MSS we need upper level managers to be able to approve time for employees who reside in lower level org units and are not the managers direct reports. This is usually the case when the chief the employees do report to directly is absent.
In the MSS Team view the links General Information, Compensation Information and Personnel Development have an Employee Search iView with a dropdown containing options for Direct Reports, Employees from Organizational Structure, Employees from Organizational Units and Employee Search. We have been told that in previous versions of MSS that functionality existed in the Approve Time Sheet Data iView as well which would appear to solve our problem.
Is this functionality available in Approve Time Sheet Data and if so how is it configured? Or is there another way (other than manipulating the org structure) for managers to view non-direct reports and approve their time?

Approve Time Sheet data

Hi friends,
I am getting problem when trying to "Approve Time Sheet data " from MSS. I am not using Work flow but the link given in MSS Team. When i am clicking on the link the first page is comming and i can see the requested working time for approval. But when i click on the review an error occured. the details is:
Exception condition "NOT_FOUND" raised., error key: RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
From R3 by ST22 i checked the error. Its like...
Runtime Errors OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED
Exception CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "CL_MSS_CAT_APPR_APPLICATION===CP" had to be
terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
I can approve the working time from R3 by cats_appr_lite transaction.
Please help.
Thanks,
Sekhar

Review approved time sheets in MSS

Hello to everybody
We are working on a ESS/MSS implementation (ECC6.00 with EhP4), including CATS regular scenarios.
In MSS the "Approve Time" scenario displays all Time sheets submitted by the employees.
After the approval, the manager is no more able to see the approved time sheets.
Is there any scenarios in MSS, where the manager can review the approved time sheets?
Where can he see the history of approved time sheets?
many thanks
katia

Hi Katia
I think the main ways to get this would be
1) Absence Days iview MSS
2) Attendance overview MSS
3) Team Calendar MSS
4) Reporting (ECC, CAT-TS or MSS)
5) Prior to approval in the UWL work item
6) Prior to approval captured in Review step of Timesheet approval iview
7) CA-TS transactions in ECC
Similiarly please also check in UWL after approval to see if work item and associated timesheet is visible
Best wishes

..the data may be summarized
what is the level on granularity in CATSDB
Is all the fields in this table are seen in the datasource 0ca_ts_is_1
If some fields are missing the data is summarized to the next available level of granularity
You can see the combined totals of table contents and RSA3 total contents of certain key figures to ensure this

Transferring Time Sheet Data to Controlling/Financial Module

All:
I have an issue I am entering data via CAT2 and have supplied a receiver cost center, using wage type MI10 and entered times 8 hours per day. I have entered salary data into the basic pay via Personnel Management. I have approved the time sheet data but it appears that it is only relevant for transfer to the HR module and not the CO module. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am attempting to use these modules to record actual hours worked and associated wage rates then post entries to CO for reporting.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Sorry I wasn't clear it appears that it is not available for transfer to controlling. It appears it is only building the data structures for transfer in HR and not CO. I get the message "No data for transfer" it appears once I approve the time sheet data it creates intermediate structures/table for transferring to other modules and is only creating the structure/table for HR. I can successfully transfer data to HR but not CO. What data on the time sheet entry triggers it to build the CO structures/tables.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi:
I need to transfer CATS data to FICO. I found out about transaction CAT7.
At the moment, I have 2 issues:
1) My CATSDB data have status "30". However, there is no corresponding entries in CATSCO. Could you tell me what I need to do to ensure that CATSCO has values?
2) My FICO system is running on 4.6C whereas my HR system is running on ECC6.0. Can CAT7 still works?
I appreciate your response.
Thanks,

Approve time sheets UI5_HCM_TSA not loading

Hi Experts,
I am finding an issue with Fiori app for approving time sheets UI5_HCM_TSA . We are able to create working time requests correctly form Fiori.
But from launch page if we click on Approve time sheet chip it is showing a blank screen like attachment.Same error when we launch from SICF also. Remaining apps like travel expense,leave approval etc are working fine. I have assigned needed roles for time sheet from installation manual.
Applied note 0001967726 by reading threads.But still issue remains as attached image.The approval is working fine from NWBC and back end.
Is there any special config needed time sheet (CATS) approval from Fiori.

MSS different cost center by approved time sheet

Hello,
In Table CATSDB seen we the results from time entry. The fields Send cost center and receiver cost center. An employee has an standard costcenter as masterdata. When this person works a couple of hours on a cost center that differs from his standard (master data), he giving in the cost center were he works on. Every thing is ok in ESS.
In MSS in the team viewer this person belongs to a team. Bij the approval of time sheets he displays standard (master data) and the u2018differentu2019 cost center. This situation we want to avoid. The u2018differentu2019 cost center is somebody else his responsilibility.
I try something with Cost center responsility. Can someone help me?

Link Personnal Data from ESS with Employee Search from MSS

Hi all,
I would like to know if it is possible to create an iVew with on the top the "employee search engine" and on the bottom the "Personnal Data" from ESS package ?
Why that ? With the standard of MSS, I can change the personnal data from a specific employee through :
Team->General Information -> Related Links (Identity) and then I got a Popup with the ability to modify the personnal data.
I would like the same but in one iView and one click.
Is it possible ?
Thanks

When you select/click on an employee in the Employee search iview, an event is raised which is subscribed in all the iviews below the employee search in that page. This is how the update happens in the other iviews.
If you would like to put Employee Search iview at the top and personal data (From ESS) at the bottom, you will need to make changes in the personal data application of ESS and subscribe the event raised by the Employee Search.
Basically you can integrate any custom iview with the employee search iview.
Have a look at the following Wiki:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/How-toaddacustomWebDynproiViewtotheMSSEmployeeProfile(ECC+6.0)
Also check SAP Note 1112733.

MSS Approve Time (views)

Hello -- We are using XSS for ECC6.
I am struggling with limited VIEWS available in MSS for Time Approval....
What is the deal with not having the use of the OADP tables like everywhere else in MSS? For example, I cannot switch the view from 'Direct Reports' to 'All Employees'... A common scenario would be to sometimes also approve time for the org unit below (All Employees).
It looks like you define a View Group in table V_PTREQ_TEAM. And then the system automatically uses the View assigned as position '1' in table V_TWPC_ORGVWGRP.. However, there is no available function to switch back and forth between other views (from Direct Reports to All Employees). The Time Approval views are all based only on the time data displayed (and uses an entirely different set of tables). I need to use a view that changes the employee selection. Does anyone now of a way to integrate with the views from the OADP tables, please share... This is not an uncommon scenario and I can't imagine SAP did not account for it... Thanks in advance for any help!
Regards,
Karen

Hi Reiling,
I followed up with SAP to see if there was a BAdi or something we could use to change the EE selection.. Basically they said the current view is all they have to offer... It might be changed in a later release, but nothing is scheduled at this point. (!!) Our client changed their Business Process -- MSS users will only approve direct reports... If another mgr below them is absent, the back up approver will be a Time Administrator who will approve in the backend. Not idea, but there's no other option.
Regards,
Karen

Employee search in MSS Team view

Hi,
Our requirement is to add a new criteria (employee by cost center) to the search criteria drop down in MSS Team view.
I have done the following steps in Object and Data provider node in spro-
u2022     Define rules for object selection
u2022     Define object selection
u2022     Define organizational structure views
u2022     Group organizational structure views
The new criteria is now visible in the dropdown, but on selecting the dropdown value no fields for input of cost center are displayed. Are there any settings that need to be done to define the input fields? If yes, what are these settings and where do I do them?
TIA.

Hi Diana,
Now I see the problem. And I dont think it is possible.
I recoment you to look at class CL_HRWPC_SEARCH_VIA_SELID. This class used by MSS for employee search. You can see it in IMG Define object selection. Copy and try modify it or find ther class you can use. I hope will work without any modification in NWDS.
All I did was definition rules for object selection where I put my FM for object selection. I did not enter any values the searsh was in the FM.
