ESS Address - Postcode

Hi All,
We have a requirement coming in from the client to default the fields in ESS -Address (for UK/GB), based on the user input post code using the available post code mailing list.
Do we need to go in for an entirely new custom development or this could be achieved by any other way.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Harshal.

Sorry, default the field would mean default the field values based on the Post Code selected.
This is similiar to may web based applications (in UK that I have seen example :Council Tax payments wherein one can mention the Post Code and is presented with the house numbers available at that postcode)
The question is, can this be achieved by configuration (somewhere) or there is a dire need of a custom implementation.
Not sure if someone has implemented the same using Royal Mail Mailing List.

How to Set the Visibility of a field in ESS Address view through portal

Hi experts,
I want to set the visibility of a field in ESS Address view through portal.How to edit a field through portal? Please help me with procedures to be followed..
Thanks&Regards,
Karthik.

Hi,
Login to portal with a user having content administration role.
Navigate to your iview which must be under content provide by SAP(if its a standard iview).
Open the iview and click on preview button.
Then press ctr on keyboard and rightmouseclick on the field for which you want to change.
A popup will open. Change the visibility in the popup and save the changes. This is a way of personalization and it'll be applicable for all the users.

Regarding ESS Addresses application

Hi,
We are using EP 7.0 and implemented ESS/MSS.
Now they have activated Com01, Num01 fields of Infotype 6(Adresses).
But these fields are not visible in the Addresses application of ESS.
For example if I add these entries in Permanent address type, these fields are not displayed in Portal,
Is there any configuration available in the ECC to make these fields visible in portal ESS application also since these fields are standard or do we need to go for customization.
Any idea on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Vivek.

Hi,
In order to add the required fields in the ESS Addresses application, we need to add those fields in the following structure of the country specific function module HRXSS_PER_EDIT_P0006_XX where XX u2013 defines the country code(say de- germany, fr-france)
Structure: HCMT_BSP_PA_XX_R0006 where again XX u2013 defines the country code
After changing the structure you need to restart the portal for this to reflect and use the below mentioned link.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=profile&title=ESSPersonalInformationUIenhancementwithoutmodification&decorator=printable
After that you need to enhance the BADI HRPAD00INFTYUI for the input conversion ans output conversion.
Please let me know for further clarification.

Vivek,

Is there screen control at the Subtype level for ESS Address in ECC 6.0?

Hello Developers,
The Dynpro view for adding/maintaining ESS Address information requires certain fields to be entered regardless of the type of Subtype (ex. Permanent Address or Work Address).
It's ok for our Permanent Address subtype to require certain fields such as City, State, and Postal Code, but we don't want these same fields to be required for our Work Address subtype.
Is there a way to control this for individual subtypes?
Thank you,
Terry

Thank you Shikhil,
This was already tried and didn't work.
Running a debug session, I can determine that the message is coming from the back-end SAP system. I can also see that these fields are flagged as Required on the back-end but due to the complexity of the code I haven't been able to determine what table this is read from.
The IMG view for "Infotypes - country-specific settings" apparently doesn't control this either but I'm hopeful that there is a screen control that will allow me to remove the "Required" setting.

ESS: Addresses check on postal code based on country

Hi,
    We have implemented ESS addresses for non standard country by reusing the existing application.
    One of the requirement is to enforce postal code validation based on the selected country (for specific subtypes).
    Is this validation applies by default or we need to do any customizing / enhancement ?
Thanks & Regards,
SuresH.

Usually which country you resuse, those checls are avalable automatically
You can also do so using CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_0006_XX SPECIFIC_COMPUTATIONS
xx for country you are using
or check here too V_T005_BAS

ESS Address change - customizing

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me where to look for the country specific screens for the ESS address change.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bharat

Hi Bharat,
If you are asking about the front end screens, then each country has it own DC,say for example,US addres application has a DC called 'essusaddr', similarly Japan will have a DC 'essjpaddr'.
Hope this helps..

ESS addresses dropdown UI element behaviour?

Hi,
On the ESS addresses screen we have a roadmap buttons like previous, review, save. When I view the address screen I see country dropdown defaulted to readonly mode to the correct country full name(e.g. Australia) then I click on Review button I see "AUS" as the country selection in the Review screen then I click Save the values are correctly saved in the backend.
The issue is when I click Review button and then click previous button I see AUS on the country dropdown UI element not full country name (e.g. Australia), then I click Review button I get error message saying "Country key AUS is not defined", obviously the reason I think is that key is set in the value dropdown by standard SAP coding. What can I do here to fix this? Is this OK to change because I'm trying to correct the standard coding here? Please suggest if this is something easy to fix?
I have already made some customisation to addresses screen, so there is not a problem if this is a easy fix to resolve.
Thanks
Praveen

Thanks. Resolved by setting the initial Australia country code to the new context attribute and then in the modifyview method set this context value always to the dropdown selected key. Looks like this is a bug in the standard DC.
Thanks
Praveen

How to customize the ESS - Address task

Hi all.
   Our customer find the ESS - Address task have the different field sequence display in R/3 pa30.
   Is there some configuration , or I have to re-develop the whole task ?
   If re-develop the whole task, where can I find the source code and documents ?

You will have 2 parts:
(1) Customize the ESS ITS service. To do so, follow typical ITS IAC programming. I could go into detail here, but the Help.SAP.com information for ITS (found under Basis components->front-end services) is very good and gives tutorials for the various programming models. Bascially, you will have the ITS service and also the ABAP transaction to possibly customize depending on your exact need. Create your custom service, publish it to ITS and viola....ready to go. From here, you can test it by calling the ITS service directly instead of going through the portal....calling via the portal is step #2....
(2) Next, you will need to copy the existing standard iView or create your own and point it to your new "Z" version ITS service instead of the standard one.
That will do it. It gets much more interesting with the newer WebDynrpo ESS services, but let's save that discussion for another day. haha

Communication Types missing from ESS Address screen

We are using the standard Web Dynpro iView for Address (under Personal Information) for ESS. However, there are no fields on the screen for the Communication Type fields that are on infotype 0006 (P0006-COM01, P0006-NUM01, P0006-COM02, P0006-NUM02, etc.).
Is there some type of configuration that has to be entered on the iView properties to assign the communication type to each P0006-COMxx value (such as COM01='CELL')???
Any help would be appreciated! I haven't been able to find anything in OSS or here in the SDN forums that explain how you make the Infotype 0006 Communication type fields available in the Web Dynpro app.
Thanks!
Shannon

Thank you for your answer!
I have an SAP PDF presentation named "The New Architecture of Employee and Manager Self-Services (ESS & MSS)" which has a screen shot of the ESS Address screen. In this document, the screen shot shows an input field for "Cell Phone". (This presentation is showing the newer Web Dynpro screens, but I do not see a reference as to which ESS business package was used for the screen shots.)
When I saw this screen shot from SAP, I thought that maybe there was a way to include the communication type fields by defining somewhere which communication type should be used for each field (suchas COM01=CELL,COM02=FAX1, etc.)
If anyone else has actually seen the Communication Types on the screen, just as the SAP presentation shows, please let me know! I am curious if these were shown in a earlier release of the ESS Web Dynpro apps.

ESS Address screen comm fields

Hi,
We have permanent address screen in ESS which requires communication fields com01,com02,com03 and num01,num02,num03.
For few countries, standard fields are available in backend but could not locate the same standard fields in iview personalisation.Then we tried to pass the standard field values in backend to custom fields in portal structure HCMT_BSP_PA_*_R0006(* is country code) in BADI HRPAD00INFTYUI.But this is also not working.
why is the standard fields absent for few countries in portal and is there any way to bring standard fields?
Is it possible to use standard in backend and custom in portal side as mentioned above.
Please advise.
Thanks
Ambily
Edited by: Ambily R on Jul 5, 2010 2:06 PM

Some countries may not have Communication fields as standard and also even if COM fields are available for your country you need to ensure you are operating the required stack.
For example a UK employer might have a UK based employee using ESS Address
however in order to have COM fields as per note 1095890 --> SAP ERP SP Stack 11 is recommended
Unfortunately if your country or your version and SP level does not have COM fields as standard then you need to be able to develop a new ESS service or modify the exsiting one - this requires complete knowledge of front-end Webdynpro JAVA UI
and back-end function modules/business logic.
If you want SAP to deliver COM fields for your country - I would recommend a development request as
per www.service.sap.com/rollin or to raise the issue via the relevant sapuser group meeting (as per the new procedure
documented @ /rollin)

ESS Address Service - Area Code in Telephone Number Defaults to 000

Hi Gurus -
Our business noticed that when creating a new address using the US ESS Address service, the area code defaults to 000 in the telephone number (field AREAC) if there is not a value already in that field. Has anyone else's business complained about this? Does anyone know how to get rid of that default?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Mark.

Hi Shikhil,
Thank you for your response. We have not modified the address infotype in the backend R/3 system and do not want to modify it. Are you saying that a modification to the table 0006 would be needed and make it CHAR instead of NUM for AREAC?
Thank you,
Mark.

ESS Address Required Field Web Dynpro

Hi,
Trying to make a field on the ESS Address screen mandatory. Viewed the Web Dynpro Java Code and updated the label to required - which put the * next to the label on the screen, however I cannot see where the validation check exists.
Do I have to validate the code in web dynpro and if so where or is it a ABAP issue?
Have read in other postings (e.g. Re: ESS Web dynpro for portugal) that the required fields can be updating in the table V_T588MFPROPC. I'm unsure if this is correct as a required field 'City' does not exist in this table, which is a mandatory field. Also what values should I enter and how is the error message format created?
Thanks
Brian

Hi,
Setting the attribute of field as required will only add a * mark in front of it.
If you want to make it mandatory in WebDynpro code then please go through the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webdynpro/wd%20java/wd%20tutorials/a%20simple%20input%20form%20with%20message%20and%20error%20service%20support.pdf">following link</a>.
As said by you many of the HR screens field attributes can be configured in SPRO.
SPRO - Personal management - Personal Administration - Customizing UI - Change Screen Modifications.
Hope this helps you.
We can do that setting in backend then thats fine else you can do that in WebDynpro.

ESS Address Book - Need "Valid as of Future Date" instead of "Valid From"

Hi,
We have implemented ESS (WebDynpro based) with MySAP ERP 2005. We have two independent Portals. On one of the Portals, in ESS address book iview the field comes as "Valid as of Future Date" and this does not allow and past date to enter. Whereas in the second portal the same field is visible as "Valid From". I have checked the settings in IMG and checked the time constraint, everything seems same.
Please help me how can I configure the date in second portal to be "Valid as of Future Date". Is there any configuration that needs to be done in backend/front to do this??
Please help!!!
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
May be you can check the ESS Setting for Address Book.
in the IMG Path
Personnel Management -->Employee Self Service --> Service Specific -->Address Book --> Who's Who --> Selection and Output.
May be in this path , you can for the Country Code, what are the Selection fields set.
Hope this helps.

Raj

DC Broke for ESS (Address)

Hello
We have added the new field for Address in ESS and the DC is ess/ca/addr. Due to recent patch, changes were wiped out in Quality environment. Hence, we created a new activity from Dev (Which has the new field etc.), and tried to import it to Quality.
Changes are getting successfully built in Dev and also we are able to check in the dev system successfully without any errors.
Component was built in development systems without any errors.
But those changes not reflecting in Quality system. On viewing the error log we are getting below error, yes SelectedInfotype.Zzemail is the new field added.
    [wdgen] [Error]   .SelectedInfotype.Zzemail: The mapping definition is inconsistent, the mapped context element does not exist.
     [wdgen] ERROR: Unknown exception during generation null (com.sap.webdynpro.generation.ant.GenerationAntTaskError)
