ESS Appraisal Workflow

Hi all,
quick question here. Currently, we are using appraisals (BSP) in ESS. I just wanted to check on the workflow that it is using between apraisee and apraiser. Is there a standard one? I need to troubleshoot.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

  • Appraisal Workflow in SAP R/3

    My clients me show them a Appraisal Workflow in SAP R/3 by using four User id's just for testing purpose. Is it possible. If yes, then how to do it. Can anyone explain me detail.
    In my client place, workflow is:
    Appraisee->Appraiser->Reviewer->HR
    Samriddhi

    Workflows are important in performance management. You set the workflow's in the status tab. There you set the target status / sub-status and the workflow to be used (appraiser or appraisee).
    The four id's, identify who will be the appraiser, part-appraiser and appraisee. Set the security / authorization's accordingly.
    Use phap_start_bsp, and use the bsp's to log in.
    Good luck

  • Appraisal workflow in UWL

    Hello all,
    I am trying to create a new view in UWL for appraisal workflows.
    My requirement is to get the Appraisal workflows into UWL. However, when appraisal item is selected from UWL it should not take us to the appraisal form, instead it should display the details view (the one which is displayed in the item preview) in pop-up.
    I created new configuration and for task 'TS12300096' in UWL configuration and selected 'UWL view detail' as action launcher when clicked on the workitem in UWL.
    When i open the UWL iView, there are no items related to appraisal task mentioned above are visible and if i delete the configuration file for the task which i've created, it appears.
    Below are the configuration files:

  • Appraisal Workflow error

    Hi All,
    The requirement given to me is Appraisal workflow (with 4 levels of approval), I am using the standard workflow WS01000108,
    But when the approver approves or rejects the appraisal from the inbox the workflow goes to error status, when i tried to check what is the error it says "other error".
    Then i checked the method of the business object bus7026 even there it gives the same error.
    Kindly help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks and Regards

  • 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.

  • Appraisal Workflow - Item not completed

    Hi,
    After performing Approved or Reject in MSS for Appraisal Workflow, the task are not completed or removed from the UWL of the user. If we do the same from R/3 the workitem gets completed. I checked the workflow task and it always ask for 'Confirm End of Process'.
    Any idea to how to do that?
    Thanks,
    SP

    Hi SP,
    Please also see BWF note: 902541.  Also, please be aware that the workitems will not leave automatically as there is no real time refresh in the Universal Worklist.  The quickest time that it will take will be 60 seconds.  If you manually refresh do the workitems leave the inbox?  Please check your parameters as mentioned in this wiki page:

  • ESS and Workflow Integration?

    Hi Expert,
    Can somebody tell me what is the correlation between ESS dan workflow, does ESS has the same exact effect as the GUI? I mean if someone who access the GUI changed somebody address then the WF will be triggered, but what if the employee him/herself change the address? would the same WF triggered? or we have to write another one?

  • HR appraisal workflow

    Hi experts,
    After creating apprailsal document from portal workflow WS90000009 is triggering. One document link is created in WRL of "Maintain appraisal" section of ESS and MSS. While approving or rejecting the document, no any workflow gets triggered, but only status gets changes.
    After completing the appraisal cycle workflow WS90000013 gets triggered. I.e, after clicking on "complete" button, document link in "Maintain appraisal" disappears and goes to "completed appraisal" section of HR portal.
    Now my requirement is to remove the document link from UWL of MSS when manager rejects the appraisal document. i.e. after clicking on "Reject " button, document link in "Maintain appraisal" section of MSS should be disappeard.
    Please Please Please suggest what needs to be done.
    Thanks
    Praveen Kumar

    I've done a few things just to update.
    I create a new condition, the condition type is "Ordinary", the item class is "Header" and the condition is WORKFLOW_PROCESS_NAME in (HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC)
    Also, created a new rule:
    The rule type is list creation, the item class is Header and the category is Approver.
    This rule includes the condition I created above.
    Also, the action I have defined for this rule is:
    Require approvals up to the first superior, at most.
    Should this solve my problem?
    Also of note is that the workflow process for HR_APPRAISAL_DETAILS_JSP_PRC contains sub processes, does that fact have any effect?
    Thanks again.

  • 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,

  • Appraisal Workflow

    Hi,
    I am trying to configure workflow for Appraisals and not able to. These are the steps I have followed:
    1. Go to PFTC (Tcode) for workflow templates such as 12300109,12300110,12300111,12300113,12300114,12300115,12300116,12300117,12300119,12300120,12300121,12300122,12300124,12300125,12300126,12300127.
    2. Activate the event linkages.
    3. For all tasks, which aren't background tasks, has to be defined as 'General task' there.
    4. Activate the required workflow events once during system setup.
    PHAP_ADMIN_PA (Tcode)--> Utilities --> Event Linkages.
    In the column Type linkage active, place a check mark next to the events you want to activate and click on the activate icon.
    5. PHAP_CATALOG_PA (Tcode --> Select the required Category Group --> Category --> go to 'Status Flow' tab --> 'Status' subtab ---> activate the status by checking them.
    In the same subtab, go to 'Events' subtab and select the required workflow events.
    6. Select the required template under that --> Select 'Status Flow' --> For every 'Status' and 'Substatus', select the workflow event.
    But after following the above steps, when I create Appraisal and proceed with, I am not able to make the events trigger.
    Can anybody help me to provide me the documents or required/ additional steps to make it possible?

  • Appraisal workflow: How to insert Appraiser & Appraisee names in emails

    Hi out there,
    I am working on an apprisal process which include workflows. The workflows each contain a task which hold the text (Task description) for a workitem / email, which is sent out to managers as a notification.
    Example:
    When a manager has approved an appraisal document for an employee, manager's manager will receive an email which should say something like: "Jill Dove (Appraiser name) has submitted  a document for Tom Dove (Appraisee name), for your approval. To approve or reject the document, use the following link to...."
    My question is: Is it possible to insert some kind of command in the workitem / email text (Task description) which will then automaticalliy insert the correct Appraiser & Appraisee names? If yes, how is it done?
    Until now we have used the expression: &_WORKITEM.WORKITEMFATHER.CREATEDBYUSER.NAME& were Appraiser or Appraisee name was equal to the workitem father - forexample the manager (Appraiser) name, but then I still need to insert the employee name (Appriasee).
    Thanks.
    Kind regards

    Thanks in advance!
    Best wishes,

  • 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.
    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.
