ERP 2005 ESS Leave Request

Hi,
We are planning to use the new Leave request module. We want to bring in 9 new fields in to the Leave module. We found the way of adding customised fields in to the Webdynpro screens. But i want to add dropdown list or provide a search button to provide value selection for the customer fields. We scanned through the BADI's, but it seems not possible. Have anybody tried on the same and any suggestion or solution is really vluable.
Best Regards
Sundar / Rahul

Hi Shamsul,
if you only need one single dropdown box, you can possibly misuse the UMSKD field. This field provides the "sickness description" from table T572B in a dropdown menu. You can see this, when you activate the customer field "description of sickness" (technical name: UMSKD  (PTARQ_ATTABS_TIMEDATA_STRUC)) in your IMG.
Then you may modify the function PT_ARQ_F4HELP_SICKCODE. which determines the sickness description and its code and assigns it to the customer field on the leave request webdynpro application.
My problem is, that i need to pass an additional approver to the workflow. Unfortunately the key-field UMSKD has just a length of 6 chars. so i cant use it for the personell number...
Hope this helps on!

    Hi Bryan,
    1. First of all make sure that the Internet Graphic Server is activated + up and running on your SAP ERP System (see also SAP Note  704604)
    2. Then you have to set the Customizing Parameters for the Team Calendar in IMG (SAP ERP System):
    a. Tcode: PTARQ -> Customizing
    b. Working Time -> Team Calendar
    c. Node Create Rule Group -> Example: 00000001 (SAP Standard)
    d. Node Adjust WEBMO Feature -> Assign all Nodes to your Rue Group
    e. Node Spec. Absecne to be displayed -> Here i assume you have set up the Leave Request Process and WF already, so you only need to assign this to your Rule Group:
    Example.
    00000001     SAP Standard     01     0100     Leave     01.01.1800     31.12.9999
    f. Node Select Employee -->
    Here you need to set the Group of your Employee which should be displayed in the team calendar:
    Example.
    00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     Approval Mode     View Group (MSS)     MSS_LEA_EE
    00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     CATS Approval     View Group (MSS)     MSS_LCA_EE
    00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     Attendance Overview     View Group (MSS)     MSS_LEA_EE     PPOME_P
    00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     Administrator Mode     View Group (MSS)     MSS_LEA_EE     PPOME_P
    00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     Request Mode     View Group (MSS)     ESS_LEA_EE

  • Problem with ESS Leave Request Workflow

    We had configured ESS Leave request, which is working fine with Leave request approval.
    1)     Cancellation of Leave Request using the workflow WS12400005.  
                                  Workflow is not getting triggered when we try to delete the leave request.
    2)     Quota Overview
    While displaying the Casual Leaves (CL) I need to deduct the Paternity leaves (PL) also.
         Remaining CLu2019s = quota CLu2019s u2013 ( used CLu2019s + used PLu2019s).

    hi kishore. how did you resolve the issue of workflow not being triggered?

    Hi,
    Your ABAPer will be the best person to let you know the table name or some experts here who have come across this situation will guide you. Also check where other types of leaves are populated in SAP and your new value is there or not.

  • Enhancement in ESS Leave Request

    Hi Gurus,
    I am new to webdynpro Java. I have a requirement to add a custom button in a Standard ESS leave request (Webdynpro Java) view. When i click the the button it has to call popview(not sure is it possible to call a webdynpro abap view).  If possible explain me with step by step preocedures(with screen shots).
    Thanks,

    Hi,
              Good, you are now able to do modification in Standard ESS package. If you want to navigate to another WDABAP iView from your WDJAVA application, you can use the below code on some button or link action to navigate to another iView.
    Check this link:-
    http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/navigation/api/WDPortalNavigation.html
    public void onActionnavigateToToAbapiView(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
        //@@begin onActionnavigateToAbapiView(ServerEvent)
         try
                        WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
                         "ROLES://portal_content/com.demo.DEMO_PCD/com.demo.ESS_SAP/com.demo.iview_ESS/demo.com.java_demo_com_demodc_demo_com_DemoApp",
                         WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
                         "Window Title", WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,
                         "Title",
                         "",//ContextURL
                         "param1=10&param2=portalID");          
         catch (Exception e)
              e.printStackTrace();
    You will find your WDAbap PCD location in Content Admin, copy it and repace PCD: with ROLES at start.
    also you can pass parameters between 2-iViews, in the above code snippet you can find that.
    the above code needs to be written in your source iView so as to navigate to destination iView which is mentioned using its PCD location.
    to retrieve the parameters you need to check ABAP syntax to retrieve URL parameters.
    In java we retreive using below syntax:-
    String param1 = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param1");
    String loginID = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param2");
    to show it as a Pop-Up you need to find some work-around to achieve it, If i get time will do it and let you know, but if you find something for that do share.

  • Error after second level approval in ESS leave request

    Hi Experts
    I am using custom workflow for Ess Leave request process which is copied from WS21500001.
    I have added custom class methods to change status from approved to sent.
    Then another method i have set next appovaer.
    The problem i m facing is that I am getting an error on portal after second approval approves the request.
    i.e Field syomol has not been assigned yet.
    from st22 i found its generating from
    Include LPT_ARQ_REQUEST_UIAF06  - Form   execute_approver_update
    By debugging i found that Its not getting next approval with status T as there is only first approval with status 'A'
    This results in unassigned field symbol. and then error.
    Please help me resolve this issue.
    Please confirm why next approver is not found in method.

    Hi All
    Thanks for your reply.
    I checked why it was giving a dump.
    This execute_approver_update subroutine takes approval data from table ptreq_approver .
    I filled this with resp actor id after request is approved and status is changed to sent.
    For every emp its unique actor id is saved in ptreq_actor table agaist his pernr.
       SELECT SINGLE actor_id FROM PTREQ_ACTOR INTO actor_id WHERE objid = nextApprover_pernr.
        wa_appr-mandt = sy-mandt.
        wa_appr-request_id = Request_ID. "Req.requestID ( from Workflow )
        wa_appr-version_no = version_no. "Req.Version ( from Workflow )
        wa_appr-seqnr = seqnr. "Same as version no but in char
        wa_appr-approver_ins = actor_id. "Employee actor id from ptreq_actor
        wa_appr-status = 'T'. "Manual
        append wa_appr to it_appr.
        INSERT PTREQ_APPROVER FROM TABLE it_appr .
        commit work and wait.
    This resolved my issue.
    Thanks

  • Ess Leave  Request -Change in Time calculation without changing work schedu

    Hi All,
    We are implementing a ESS Leave Request in EP6 with backend HR ECC5.0.
    The time calculation is taken  from the Work schedule rule in
    HR backend which is 24*7.
    For example if the leave taken is for 2 days-systems calculates as 24*2=48 hrs
    but in actual the requirement is to calculate 2*8 =16 hrs without changing
    the Work Schedule in 2001 infotype in HR Backend.
    Can we do this change through

    2.Changing the RFC PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK

  • FMLA relevant absence Message in ESS Leave Request

    Hi Experts,
    I am on ERP2004, EP6.0SP20.
    I have configured the ESS Leave Request and activated the workflow. When an employee submits a leave request, he sees a message "the requested absence type is an FMLA relevant absence". However, the requested absence type is not a FMLA relevant absence.
    I would like to stop this message coming on to portal. I am not sure whether it is related to Time Management configuration on absence quotas etc. Has any body seen this message?
    your help will be greatly appreciated!

    Messages can be hided in Leave Request through configuration on R/3 side. NWDI customization is not necessary.

  • ESS leave request

    Dear friends
    in ESS leave request workflow , in approval process task i am maintaining 10 days deadline , after that by using process control i am making the workitem to be obselete , then same leave request is going to supervisor's supervisor . this is properly working, my problems are
    when the first supervisor opens some other leave request still the escalated leave request is showning in the table , still system is allow him approve . and also in the supervisor's supervisor  inbox then workitem remains if he opens the workitem there is no any leave for approval in that table , so deadline mointerting is not working propely for ess leave request , and also in supervisor's supervisor  inbox workitem is not going out from uwl .
    how to do deadline mointering for ESS leave request workflow ,
    can any one help on this
    reason which i could identify is details are picking from the document database based on the approver .

    You should check the forum, I think I saw a thread in the last two days which stated that deadline monitoring is not working for the leave request. (it could be the HCM forum). So this would be why the handling is not working as expected.
    The problem of no leave to be approved for the manager could be prevented if you set a terminating event on the task which will be triggered when the leave is approved.

  • ESS Leave Request - Customer fields default function not working

    Hi,
    a. SAP version being discussed
    SAP ECC6.0
    EP7.0
    ESS/MSS
    b. Here is the scenario
    1. We are using ESS Leave Request application for employees to request leave. We are using the standard web dynpro java leave request application delivered by SAP.
    2. Lately there has been a need to provide a customer field on the request form which will have a calculated value showing up when the employee opens the request
    3.We used one customer field called customer01 as per configuration steps.
    4. This field appears on the request form when it is opened.
    5. Our need is to display a value in that field when the form is opened.
    6. SAP/s documentation states that we can use BADI PT_ABS_ARQ to default a value to this field on the form. This value is calculated during runtime dynamically.
    7. We have used the method IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP for this purpose
    8. After activating and coding this implementation, the system does not default anything on the request form when it is opened up.
    9. Once the employee hits the review button, this field gets its defaulted value but this is not what we want. We want the system to display this when the form is OPENED, that means at the prepare stage. For this field to appear after hitting the review button is meaningless as the employee needs to make a decision based on the value in this field before hitting the review button.
    It almost seems like this BADI is called when the review button is hit and not when the form is opened up. We may be wrong and missing something obvious which one of you can immediately point out, Hence this post.
    10. I did go thru the forum at great length and seen that there has been discusion surrounding the need to populate R3 from a value entered into this field. My problem is different wherein, I wish to populate this upfront as display information when the form is opened and then send it back to R3, once the employee submits the request.
    Would be grateful if anybody on this forum could point me in the right direction.
    Thank you,
    Rajesh

    Please, can I take this question a little further.
    Is it possible to add more fields to the leave request form on the ESS portal. For example, our customer wants additional fields like reason for leave, contact residential and telephone number during leave, Require leave entitlements (Yes/No).
    Would appreciate if a reply can be given on if it is possible or not and what to be done if it is possible.
    Cheers
