EP7.0 - How to configure UWL Mass Approval Column

Hi All,
Any one of you know how can I configure the UWL with "Approve" and "Reject" column for ESS-Leave Request mass approval?
For example, the manager can perform the mass approval by clicking the "Approve" check box and click "submit" button from the UWL instead of approve one by one....
We are using EP7.0
Thanks!
Best Regards,
S.Y

Hello SY,
This can be achieved using an xml config. The following document describes the config you need to do to achieve the decision (Mass Approval) view:

This should help you get started. Feel free to post any queries to the forum.

  • UWL- Mass approval fromPortal.

    Dear Experts,
    We have a requirement like mass approval from MSS UWL- tasks from Poral.
    I have checked below threads,
    uwl mass Approval- Select all option
    and
    UWL Mass Approval XML changes or Custom App
    Please provide any other inputs to achieve mass approval from portal.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Piyush, I'm solving the same problem. Can you help me ?
    I have found, that I can add new button into mass approval's view:
                   <Action name="accept" groupAction="yes" handler="UserDecisionHandler">
                   <Properties>
                   <Property name="decisionKey" value="1"/>
                   </Properties>
                   <Descriptions default="Accept all"/>
                   </Action>  
    That approves all displayed items. But that's not exactly what I'd like to do.
    I just want to select all checkboxes/radio buttons in mass approval view.
    Could you be so kind and give me your solution ?
    Thank you very much,
    Roman

  • UWL: Mass Approval functionality is not shown

    Hi Gurus,
    I have done the required config to call my ABAP webdynpro leave approval screen when a workitem is clicked in UWL and its working fine.
    Now I want to have a mass approval functionality for the leave approval screen. I have added the below Item types and Views in UWL.STANDARD.XML file and uploaded it to the system with high priority and then refreshed cache. When I login to the system and access the UWL, the MASS Approval functionality is not show. Do I have to do any other steps apart from this. Please let me know how to resolve the issue.

  • UWL Mass Approval XML changes or Custom App

    Dear Gurus,
    Please help us in understanding the solution to mass approval issue. Shall we go for XML changes or go for a new custom development in wda/wdj
    I have tried modifying XML method for leave approval but the issue is :
    1. Tasks drop off from manager UWL with success message but the workflow goes to cancelled step and does not update the status of the employee request from sent to approved. can this be handled by workflow guys.
    2. On doing XML changes in both views(normal and subview for mass approval), I lost hyperlinks on my workitems , so I could not launch any application even in the main view where approver shall approve items one by one.
    I need help to understand if the above 2 issues can be addressed.
    Further we have more than 10-12 types of approvals in our UWL down the line. So is it a good idea to configure XMl or just go and create 1 Master custom applicaiton to address all approvals and give mass approval facility in that alone.
    Kindly help
    Regards,
    Ankur

    Dear Piyush,
    we have been successful in writing our custom FM and we are calling the standard FM's in our abap box. leaves get approved on executing the custom FM from R3. however from portal UWL, still we are getting the same error message. I think our portal is not able to call the ABAP FM.

  • HOW TO CONFIGURE MANAGER or APPROVER USER IN ACCESS REQUEST MANAGEMENT TO APPROVE OR REJECT REQUEST

    hi sap gurus,
    i configured grc 10 system successfully. I created one user: GR_AR_APP001 and assign following roles:
    SAP_GRAC_ACCESS_APPROVER
    SAP_GRAC_ACCESS_REQUEST_ADMIN
    SAP_GRC_FN_BASE
    SAP_GRC_FN_NUSINESS_USER
    and I maintained GR_AR_APP001 in access control owners as "POINT OF CONTACT", "SECURITY LEAD" and "WORKFLOW ADMINISTRATOR"
    but when i am creating access request for new user and defining MANAGER under user details tab as GR_AR_APP001.
    the user GR_AR_APP001 is not receiving any request for APPROVE or REJECT in his WORK INBOX.
    can u please guide me how to configure APPROVER or MANAGER to approve or reject request.
    I will be very much thankful if you guide me successfully.

    Hi Colleen,
    thanks a lot for your time.
    PIC1: I created one user: GR_AR_APP001
    and assigned all the GRC ROLES.
    PIC2: I assigned owner type to GR_AR_APP001 user : POINT OF CONTACT, SECURITY LEAD and WORKFLOW ADMINISTRATOR in NWBC ACCESS CONTROL OWNERS
    PIC3: I created one EUP 980 (copied from default EUP)
    PIC4: I maintained default manager as GR_AR_APP001 user in 980 EUP
    PIC5: I selected SAP_GRAC_ACCESS_REQUEST process id
    PIC6: I created one agent id as ZGRAC_MANAGER11 in which I added approver user id: GR_AR_APP001
    PIC7: I saved agent id
    PIC8: I added agent id as ZGRAC_MANAGER11 in stage5 in manager stage.
    PIC9: I saved
    PIC10: I maintained EUP 980 (in which I configured manager as GR_AR_APP001 user) in stage 5 task settings
    PIC11: Maintain Route Mapping, I clicked on next
    PIC12 and PIC13: I saved and activated.
    After this process I created one request for new account and selected the manager as GR_AR_APP001 and one request is created with request no 9000000030.
    now I logged into system by user GR_AR_APP001 and checked, there is no request under his work inbox.
    please guide me at least one procedure, how to receive request in approver work inbox so that I can learn other procedures to configure approver as per our organization requirement.
    thanks for your support Colleen.

  • Mass approval of parked documents

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to build a report that gets all parked documents based on user id for mass approval.
    How to get all the work items under user and how to proceed for mass approval? and all work items should be set it as complete,
    Please help me if any one have done similar requirement.
    Regards,
    Venu.

    Hi karri,
    Thank you for your reply and help and i am also facing one more problem in single appoval via workflow you might be aware of this. after posting the document wf-batch is updated in bkpf. user wants it with approver id, i have gone through the threads,
    i have found one common answer that.
    "Create new task for posting and use that instead of the standard posting step The posting step must be right after the approval step (or at least there cannot be any background steps between) The posting step must not be background step. Advance with dialog must be set on for the new posting step".
    i have created in the same way but it gives error while setting Advance with dialog, if i set like that it is expecting agent assignment,
    i have also tried in other way that i have created FM, inside that FM sy-ucomm is assigned with approver id and then posting FM is called but no use.
    Can u please give a working solution.
    Best Regards,
    Venu.

    Mass leave approval?
    As an alternative to this service, you can use the Leave Request: Mass Approval report (RPTARQMASS_APPROVAL) in the back-end system. These reports enable you to approve multiple leave requests in batch.

    I see we have Mass Action field in Scenario definition . If i check it, how can we enable Mass approval in Fiori ?
    Any other solution, please highlight

    Hi Tejas,
    Mass approval is not released in UI side.
    Users can use quick approval by side sliding in tablet.
    From business process point of view, mass approval is not a best practice.
    When user do mass approval, approves never check details and it means blind approval.
    If it is the case, workflow engine can set approval based on business rules and send workitems which really need to be checked. It reduce workload for managers.

  • Configuring UWL for ESS

    Hi All,
    How to configure UWL for ESS & MSS Business Package in Portal
    Thanks & Regards
    Kirubakaran D.

    The configuration of the UWL isn't so much for ESS and/or MSS as it is for just your portal users in general. The configuration of the UWL is actually done in the portal itself under the System Administration role. I suggest starting there and reading all the information. Also, the help.sap.com documentation on the UWL generally will step you through it all. Even in the MSS help documentation, there is a basic section on setting up "bare bones" UWL config. Have a go at that first.

  • How to control the timesheet approval

    Hi ,
    I am new to HCM and not quite familiar with HCM configuration. I am trying to figure out how we configure the timesheet approval. For example, for certain group of employees (salaried), I don't want any approval for timesheet. But for the other group of employess (hourly paid), I want to set up the approval for timesheet. What do I need to set up to do that? Where is the directory in the IMG?
    Thanks,
    Ting

    hi,
    if you are using CATS classic, the same data entry profile would serve the purpose.
    in the node>timesheet>specific settings for CATS classic>setup data entry profile, you can notice a radio button named
    'approval procedure for exceptions' in th Approval section.
    You can specify a group against whose details you can check out using the F1 help.
    For approval details you can navigate to the node timesheet-->general settings for all interfaces->Approval procedure and customise accordingly.
    But i am afraid that the approval decsion cannot be made against employee group and subgroup .
    You can make decision only on company code, payscale area, payscale type,etc.,
    You can check out the feature CATEX and decide accordingly.
    If you are using CATS regular, then you will have create 2 profiles and assign one of them to the approval view accordingly.
    thank you,

  • Configure UWL  -  notification to outlook - when task gets pushed to uwl

    Hello Everyone,
    We are looking into how to configure uwl so it sends a notification to outlook automatically (without any CO programming in GP) as soon as it receives a task in the list.
    Our team is hold up on this task and trying to finish up during the weekend
    Any guidance is appreciated. Full points will be rewarded for your help.
    Thanks
    Shahid

    Hi everyone,
    I wanted to clarify. The steps we followed in the post mentioned above In GP how to get work items in outlook inbox,  did work for the UWL tasks that were created within UWL. An email was sent to outlook. Thank you for that information.
    It did not work for GP. We have found that even though GP creates a task in the UWL, it does not use the UWL's email configuration to send a notification. In order to achieve that, we have manually tested the GP Callable Object. Is this the only way?
    Thanks

  • How to connect UWL inbox??

    Hi All,
    Can any one tell me how to connect to the UWL inbox using Webdynpro java??

    Hi Mahesh
    you need to register the UWL under system Admin-->system configuration-->Universal worklist & workflow-->Universal Worklist-Administration. Here you need to register with your system alias where connector types will be Alert connector & Webflow connector.
    when we register UWL it reads all the tasks which are available in T-code SWFVISU & It will be available in a XML file where we need to upload them at the time of registering the UWL.
