ESS: clock in/out approval WF

For the clock in/out approval workflow, I have created the copy of the general workflow WS12300111 and in the customize task i am calling the report RPTCORAPP for the workitem approval.
My problem is everytime the user clocks in or out the new workitem is created, if for example there are 20 users under a manager and they daily clock in/out through ESS, imagine the quantity of workitem in his inbox.Also when I click on anyone of the workitem it shows the complete list of employee(clockin/out requests) under him, and all the workitem showing the same clock in/out data.
My requirment is that there should be only single workitem in the manager inbox contianing all the employees instead of workitem for every clock in or out request.
OR
Atleast the workitem should be grouped employeewise.
How can I achieve this
thanks

Basically the important thing that you have to make a note is that the workflow gets triggered each and every time whne employee swipes in and out.
Now your issue is let us assume that a employee EMP1 has swiped in and out for 10 times and all the 10 different requests are shown under the Managers MGR1 Name to get approved and these 10 request you want to group into one...
At the same time for different employees too..

Doubt Clock-In/Clock-Out Approval

Hi,
We are using POWL inbox to approve clock in/clock out corrections.
I would like to know if it´s normal when clicking on the links of the column "Type of Correction" it doesn´t happen anything.
Follow a image regarding it

Thanks,
Bruno

Clock in/out corrections approval has been developed and is present in
MSS addon 1.0 and not in ESS Ehp5.
In the MSS addon 1.0 we have a new query for processing clock in/out
corrections approval, similar to the leave request scenario. Also, we
have Webdynpro ABAP CICO approval detail screen where in the manager can
view the details of the CICO correction and could process the
requests(Approval/Reject). He could also navigate between the Clock
in/out requests using the Next and Previous buttons.
We recommend you to implement the MSS addon 1.0.
Regarding other enhancements provided in the MSS addon 1.0, please
refer to the note 1588625.
are you a ramp up customer for MSS ADD ON?
Please note to install this S/W component there are a few pre-requisites
that your Ehp5 system has to be at.
   Software Component SAP_BASIS 702 SP07
   Software Component SAP_ABA 702 SP07
   Software Component SAP_BS_FND 702 SP05
   Software Component WEBCUIF 701 SP04
   Software Component SAP_HR 6.04 SP035
   Software Component EA_HR 6.05 SP012
If you want to get to ramp up, Please let me know
If not you need to use RPTCORAPP for approval!

Clock in out correction error in ESS

Dear Experts,
We are getting very strange error in clock in out correction application in ess
When we are trying to make new clock in/out entry within 2hours of system it gives us error " The date of the correction is outside the permitted processing period".
Example: If system time is 14:30pm and if we are entering correction entry of 12:30pm system is not accepting it. But if we enter 11:30am on same date, it accept that entry without any error.
We checked background config node related to define period for clock in out correction and retroactive processing permitted period.
Its all fine, but we dont know from where we are getting above error.
Please guide us.
Plz help.
Thanks & Regards,
Zara

Hello,

ESS Clock in - Clock Out

Dear Experts,
Can we use ess for clock in clock out as a substitute or complementary to external time recording machine?
I know that ess have Clock in Clock out iview, but i believe its for correcting wrong entry not for making entry. Please advice on this matter.
Best Regards

You could create a custom iview to allow employees to 'clock in/out' if you wished.
I have gotten a developer to do this for me at one customer and isn't hard to do. Or you could use CATS iview for ESS employees to record their start and end times of work in. Just depends on what you want to do with the captured data?
Cheers,
Brad

Tips for using clock in/out mass approval report in the portal.

Currently there is no standalone application for mass approval of the time corrections. There is no seperate workflow template for Clock-In/Out Corrections as well. So its suggested to copy the standard leave request template WS12300111 and use it for Clock-In/Out Corrections.
Usually the volume of the Clock-In/Out Corrections for approval are large. So the report RPTCORAPP is provided for mass approval of all the Clock-In/Out Corrections pending for the manager in the backend. This report can also be used in the portal in the following way. Before proceeding, I will take up an example :-
Let us assume that we are using a custom WF template 'WS99900013' for clock in/out corrections which is a copy of the standard LeaveRequest template WS12300111. The approval task is 'TS99900043' which used for approving the workitems.
Below are steps to configure the RPTCORAPP in the portal:-
1. Change the task 'TS99900043' to point to a DUMMY method. i.e. create a DUMMY method and make the task to point to the method.
2. Save and activate the workflow.
3. Create an i-view in the portal which calls the report RPTCORAPP directly.
4. In the UWL xml file change the attributes of the task 'TS99900043' to call the PCD of that iview directly.
5. Upload the modified UWL XML file and re-register the workitems to sync it with changes of the task 'TS99900043' in the backend.
6. Test the application.
Please note that the application is tested across all the scenario known to me. There might some scenario which are unknown to me, in which some issues may crop up. So I would suggest to to take a backup of the current WF template and UWL xml
file before implementing the above changes.

Hi,
Checked everything and it seems fine. Any other ideas where i should looking?

Clock in/out correction screen issue-ESS-urgent

Hi Experts,
We have standard Clock in/out correction screen. In the calender Work schedule is being shown ie. on weekly Off, Off is coming but public holidays are not visible like 15 Aug, this has been defined as Public holiday. So on this day Independence Day should be comng in Clock in.ou correction calender..
Please provide your input....
Thanks

Currently you cant see public holidays or holidays in the calendar defined for the user, No BADI and No customisation is available for this too :(..
As calendar is not meant to see the Personal Work schedule of the user yet, though many customers are looking forward to this, Good to have this.

Clock-in/out Correction Approvals

Hi all,
We implemented ESS 1.0 on Netweaver 2004s with backend ECC 6.0, now In ESS configuration guide document it says that Wofkflow for
ESS and Clock-in/out corrections is General Workflow for Documents, however when i used the workflow for Time corrections the work item appearing in the inbox points to the leave approval application, which is a table with leave types and dates is opened, my question is
why is the workitem in UWL not displaying the changes in time corrections ?
Did i miss something ?
Regards,
Ahmed Salah

Ahmed,
Did you figure out as to why the entry is not visible in the UWL. I am also facing the same problem. As a matter of fact this is not aviaialable in the backend as well.?

Sam

Internationalization of Clock In Out Event Mails

Hello,
we already have Clock In Out in Germany and we plan to roll it out to Britain. The Job which is sending out the mails to the manager that his employees made corrections "RPTCOREMAIL" is already planned in. I translated the email text via SE63 but its always sending out the german one. Do I have to set a parameter or something?
Can somebody explain to me how this is supposed to work that everybody gets the correct language?
Best ragards,
Kai Mattern

Unfotrtunately the program Rptcoremail supports a single language only
The language is determined from here
Form 'get_email_text' in program 'RPTARQEMAIL' calls function
module 'DOCU_GET_FOR_F1HELP' with field 'sy-langu' in parameter 'langu'.
We are discussing this internally to enhance this report, as it looks incorrect for german getting french mails
as you are a;lready aware
In this IMG activity, you create predefined notification texts, which
you can use to inform those involved in the process of leave requests
about any need to take action. To send the notifications, you use the
RPTARQEMAIL report (Leave Requests: Send E-Mails).
Standard settings
The standard system contains the following notification texts:
For the person who submitted the request: HR_TIM_ARQ_REQUESTOR
For the person who approved the request: HR_TIM_ARQ_APPROVER
For the HR administrator (in case of errors): HR_TIM_ARQ_ADMIN
The texts used must be of the Dialog Text document class.
Activities
If you want to create your own standard texts, proceed as follows:
1. Access the SE61 transaction (Maintain Documents). (In the SAP menu,
choose Tools -> ABAP Workbench -> Utilities -> Documentation.)
2. Choose the document class Dialog Text.
3. Create your own texts or copy the standard texts.

Clock in out Correction

Hi Gurus,
How to implement Portal Clock in/out correction for substitutions. For present normal clock in/out corrections is working properly but substitutions is not working. Can any one pleas explain how to implement for substitutions?
Thanks,
SC

the approval for clock in done by Rptcorapp ie via backend
usually, If the manager is absent for more than 14 days, the request is forwaded to the substitute this is in standard
also you can enhance the badi if you like
The determination of whether the approver is absent or not is done in
the BADI implementation of
PT_GEN_REQ->IF_EX_PT_GEN_REQ~CHECK_IF_ACTOR_ABSENT. You may have to
enhance this method to take into consideration for employees who do not
have IT0007 record.
The place where the checking is done is in
CL_DEF_IM_PT_GEN_REQ->IF_EX_PT_GEN_REQ~START_WF
copy all the methods of standard badi into your implementation and then implement the BADI.

Message in Clock-In/out Correction

Hello everybody.
Some times when a user make a time correction using the clock in/out iView he/she gets a message when he/she reviews the correction. The message is in Spanish:
"Lista de mensajes no se puede actualizar de momento por motivos técnicos" it means something like:
"The message list cannot be updated at this moment because technical reasons", but the data is updated in the calendar.
It seems that the message list cannot be "build" at that moment.
Anyone knows...
what are these technical reasons?
can this message be customized?
Thank you in advanced.
Rubén.

Hello again
I have found the message in transaction se91:
Message class: HRTIM_ABS_REQ

Custom POD and Clock-In/Out

Dear Experts,
did someone face the problem with Custom PODs (Custom POD Plugin, changing the "manufacturing" path of POD to custom one) and Clock-In/Out?
When I turned the Auto Clock-In on on a custom POD, I can not reach the POD.
Ist this a bug or do I have to change something in the settings?
This occurs on SAP ME 6.1.4 Patch 38.
The error message is, that the POD could not be found. Does this something have to do with auto clock in, the redirect and a custom pod?
Regards,
Andrej

Hi Oksana,
thank you for your reply.
I simply have a custom POD plugin. Therefore, my POD does not use the standard "manufacturing" link, but a "custom_manufacturing".
I have configured shifts and labor tracking. The option to automatically clock in at log-in is enabled.
After I log in to ME, I recieve the notification of sucessfull clock in. But after I acess my custom POD with the "custom_manufacturing" link, I do get an "resource not found" error.
After I disable Clock-In at Log-On, I do not get this error.
If you need more detailed information, just point me to the direction you need, as of my view point the root cause is clear, as after disabling the option, everything works.
I do not have tested this with 15.0, so I do not know if this is ME 6.1.4 issue only.
Thnaks in advance.
Regards,
Andrej

Duplicity in clock-in/out corrections

Hi experts,
When i try to contabilizate new clock-in/out and the user is locked, i receive a message telling me that the data has been saved correctly, but that's not true, because if i go to the trx pa30, infotype 2001, i don`t have new clock-in/out corrections saved.
Later i unlock the user and modifu the hour of the first clock-in/out correction (i.e. 8:00 to 8:02) and i pass to review an save the new data. When i turn back to the clock-in/oot corrections screen, i see a strange efect. The initial clock -in/out correction (8:02) appears four times and in R/3, i have the same clock-in/out correction four times repeated too.
The SP in portal and R/3 is the last.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Dear Victor,
The Clock In/Out application, data is stored temporarily in a table before they are posted in the infotype. When you created the ClockIn four times, it was saved in the intermediate database. Thats when the application gave the information that 'Your data has been saved'. At a later point of time these data are considered for posting in the infotype when the report RPTCORPOST runs. If the pernr is locked, the postings will not happen and the records will be in the status 'ERROR'. On the next run of the RPTCORPOST will consider the 'error' records also for posting. If the pernr is unlocked this time, the data will be posted in the infotype.
I hope this clarifies your doubt.
Regards
Roy

Employee clock-in/out

Hello !
We use clocking machine for recording employee clock-in/out . All the data is stored in a 'flat' file which is supposed to be
     uploaded into SAP. When tried to open and read the flat file using OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET commands,
     the Sy-subrc value returned is 8 and the error message 'the specified file not found' is displayed. We checked the path and
     the file is in the correct location. What is missing?

Hi Kelly,
Check the path once again. Check the upper and lower cases. Define you parameter file name like filename-fileextern.
    Depending on the place where the flat file resides, the procedure varies. OPEN DATASET is used for upload of file from
    the host system. If your flat (text) file is on the PC, you can use the function WS_UPLOAD which will upload your text file
    into an internal table. This internal table data can be loaded into SAP. The syntax is as follows:
    CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
    FILENAME = pcfile
    IMPORTING
    FILELENGTH = fileleng
    TABLES
    DATA_TAB = internal table name
    Please note that you have to specify the pcfile of length 128.
Try this it may help.
Thanks
