ESS Leave Approver Problem

Hi,
Any employee XYZ used to report to MR. A.
For testing purpose I changed his reporting to Mr. B.
( Changed A002 - reports to Mr. B).
Now I want the Original situation that XYZ shud report to Mr. A.
I changed his A002 to Position of Mr. A.
However the system is still showing his approver as Mr. B.
( In Report RPTREQAPPRCHK -
In Check Application Function - I m getting Mr. B - wrong one
In Check Basic Function - I m getting Mr A - right)
I want XYZ to report to Mr. A.
Plz. let me know the solution.
Regards,
Param

Dear Sir,
1. Rule Group is 00000001 SAP Standard.
2. Determine Next Agent : Last Agent, Then Line Manager
3. PTARQ>Determine Approver - Shows Mr. B
( I Want Mr. A - Original Approver).
Waiting for an Answer.
Thanks & Regards,

  • ESS Leave Approval: No authorization to start service

    Hello,
    User is not able to approve leave requests of sub-ordinates.
    When user clicks on Approve or Reject button, nothing happens.
    But when I checked in Default trace, I found below error:
    You do not have the authorization to start service
    sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequestApprover.
    [EXCEPTION]
    I checked portal content permissions for this user and found that those
    are ok.
    In ECC there is no dump (ST22) related to authorization.
    Can you please suggest the solution.
    Regards,
    Vinod

    Hello Karthik and Vivek,
    Thanks for replies. But we have created ZMSS role in ECC which is assigned to all managers.
    For all other managers the leave approval is working fine. The problem is with only 1 user.
    So I dont think there is any issue in ECC authorizations.
    Also there is no ABAP dump. Is there any other way like some trace from where we ll come to know about the missing authorization.
    With Best Regards,

  • Best way to implement ESS, Leave approval matrix.

    Hi Gurus,
    Please suggest me the best possible way to map the leave approval matrix for ESS.
    we had a plan to prepare our leave approval matrix based on "Position". Just wanna know Is it the right way to figure out the Leave approval matrix. Initially We received a suggestion to prepare the Leave approval matrix with Employee number but by seeing the attration rate/separation/inter org.unit transfer etc., It'll be very difficult to maintain the post seperation data maintenance.
    We had maintained a unique position id for each position(at present), If in near feauture if the same piece of task is assign to two person, we'll descriminate through there entry date(i.e. date of confirmation/Date of Joining).
    IS it the right way of doing it. Seeking expert suggestion.
    Thanks for your continuous support.
    Thanks,

    This is usually pretty easy.  Place all the files/pages you wish to appear as the sub domain in a folder on your site, then have your host create a "A" record for the subdomain you wish to create - so it will look like this  http://YourSubDomain.YourDomain.com - then route this "A" record to the folder. Be sure the home page in this folder is a default page, such as index.htm or default.htm, or whatever your server uses for the default home page file name.
    Hope this helps.

  • ESS Leave Approver

    Dear All,
    I hv a problem regarding leave approval.
    There are two Employees A & B.Both of them belong to same PA & PSA and their approver is same.
    When I run report(PTARQ-Leave Approver) to know their approver I get the approver of A  and not B.
    The rule group for A is as follows:
    PERNR -WEBMO - MOABW - MOZKO - MOPGK - MOBDE -  ZEITY  ( Working Fine)
    A          - 1           - 7             -7            -2            -1             - 2
    The rule group for B  is as follows:
    PERNR -WEBMO - MOABW - MOZKO - MOPGK - MOBDE -  ZEITY ( Not showing Approver Name)
    B          - 1           - 7             -7            -1            -1             - 2

    Hi,
    To check the approver of employee B, go to PP01 and check the reporting relationship between Position of B and Position of the Approver. If the relationship exists, that means, Approver will appear on ESS

  • Multiple Leave Approval problem in workflow  WS21500001 -webdynpro

    hi,
    We are using standard webdyppro leave approval workflow WS21500001, but inhere does not provide multiple approval level.  Our requirement is we need two approval levels for this. So I copy the stranded workflow and create the second approval leave.  In here Iu2019m unable to send second approval document into the mailbox, I was write rule to get the second approver, its working fine but once the 1st approval  finished mail doesnu2019t go to the second approver inbox. Can you help me to do this?
    Regard,
    nawa

    Hello,
    Do you mean mail or workitem? I think you mean workitem.
    Use tx SWI1 to look at the workflow log and you'll see what the workflow is doing and why it's skipping the second approval step.

  • 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

  • Custom Leave approval task problem

    Dear All,
       I have a problem with my custom leave approval webdynpro task.
      Actually I was using standard task , TS12300097 for leave approval. It was working fine from SAP worklist from portal. If someone tries to approve from SAP R/3 it was providing an information like, this cannot be executed from SAP R/3.
      I had a requirement to add certain custom fields information to the task description, so I copied and created a new task similar to that and added the containers and filled the description to that. Then i cofigured the new task in SWFVISU also. It working fine from enterprise portal sap worklist.
      But some tries to approve from SAP Inbox in R/3 the workflow results in error. Its not providing the same information which was coming earlier with standard task.
    The error is as follow :
    Work item 000000885207: Object CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS method DUMMY cannot be executed
    Dereferencing of the NULL reference
    Dereferencing of the NULL reference
    Error handling for work item 000000885207
    Let me how we can solve this issue.
    regards,
    Sabari Prabhu.

    We are changing our Leave Request workflow, and I also came across this problem while testing.
    In our situation, the problem is that we changed the approval task.  We used to have it as a call to report RPTARQAPP, but then changed back to the standard method of calling CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS DUMMY.
    For us, it is only the old work items that go into error if the user tries to execute them in R/3.  If the workflow is then re-started, the item is once again available and can be processed in the UWL.  New work items come back with the pop-up message "The request cannot be started from the Business Workplace", like in the standard workflow.
    I think we will just add some encouraging wording to the task so that people will (hopefully) not attempt to execute the work items in R/3, like this:
    Please log on to ESS to approve this Leave Request through the Universal Worklist (UWL).
    It is not possible to complete this work item from within R/3, DO NOT execute this work item here.
    Once you have processed the request in ESS, this work item will automatically be completed.
    Good luck

  • 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.

    While displaying the Casual Leaves (CL) I need to deduct the Paternity leaves (PL) also.

  • ESS leave request - Change Approver

    Hi,
    We have a situation in which a employees dotted line manager will approve the leave request instead of a direct manager. We have a custom relationship to establish the dotted line manager. Now, In the ESS leave request there is a Approver field which shows the Employees direct manager. Can we customize the logic using a BADI or User exit to show the dotted manager?.  Please let me know which enhancement is to be used for this requirement.
    Thanks in Advance for your assistance.
    Ramesh

    in the customizing for the definition of the processes per rule group
    you set the selection for the next processor to "Manual Entry".
    or for the BADI
    Another way is to use the BAdI Control Processing Processes for Time
    Management Web Applications (PT_GEN_REQ) and implement the methode
    IF_EX_PT_GEN_REQ~FIND_RESP_AND_DEFAULT_NEXT_PRC.
    Method FIND_RESP_AND_DEFAULT_NEXT_PRC of badi
    PT_GET_REQ  might be utilised here.
    Please have a look at the  method
    CL_PT_REQ_SEARCH_NEXT_P~SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR.
    If you are implementing the badi then make sure you copy all the methods
    and implement the one, as mentioned.

  • Next level approver in ESS leave request

    hi friends
    Am working in ESS leave request workflow. In my scenerio there are 4 level approver. I have function module SWX_GET_MANAGER  i have copied and customized to ZSWX_GET_MANAGER with my logic to get the next level approvers. If i entered the PERNR it return all the approver for that employee. How do the workflow know he is the 2nd level approver, he is the 3rd level approver. How can i achieve it. kindly help me...
    Regards
    vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    I think you will need to use a loop and a counter so you know the approval level. You can use this to get the manager who belongs to the level.

  • Leave Approver in ESS

    Dear All,
    I am facing some problem  in the Leave Approver:
    Employee  A was previously reporting to Manager B.
    Now Employee A is reporting to Manager C.
    I have maintained the reporting relationship in the position for Employee A.( A reports to C -> It is Ok).
    But when I execute the report RPTREQAPPRCHK,  the system is picking up his old manager :
    1. Check Applicaiton Function - It shows A reports to B (which is not right as per our expections)
    2. Check Basis Function - It shows A reports to C (which is OK).
    I have maintained the following values in the table V_PTARQ_TPROCESS
    --> Determine Next Agent = MNGR Line Manager.
    While applying for leave the approver for Emp A is still displayed as Manager B.( it should be Manager C).
    Please let me know if any extra config is required for this?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Param

    Param,
    You have to get the workflow refreshed for that. As the Determine Next Agent would have already determined the old Manager and kept it in the cache. See the date on which the Agent Determination has taken place in the Workflow for that Task. If the Agent determiantion has taken place before the transfer then you have ask you workflow adminstrator to correct the workflow with the new manager details or kill that task and re-execute the branch of that task again.
    Hope this helps.
    cheers, Bharath.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Martin

  • ESS leave request 2 level workflow??

    Hi friends,
    Does anyone know how to create a 2 level workflow in ESS leave request?? im not able to find any solution for this.
    looking forward for your reply...
    thanks in advance
    sudhir

    Hi Sudhir,
    You dont have to create a new status for such scenarios. The Java WD Leave Application lists all the Leave Requests that are in SENT status. So after the first approval is done, the status is set to APPROVED in case if it is approved. Now, we have to reset it to the status SENT if you have one more level of approval.
    This can be achieved in 2 ways.
    1) Changing your Standard Class's coding as suggested by SAP in the above thread.
    2) You create one custom BOR with one method - RESETSTATUS - Which resets the status of the Leave Request back to <b>SENT</b>. You can get the required coding from <i>APPROVE</i> method of the above mentioned class.
    I followed the second method.
    I hope this should clear our problem.
    Regards
