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
Plz let me know the solution regarding any config changes for leave approval.
Thanks & Regards,
Param

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

  • 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 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,

  • 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 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.

  • You are not a receiver of the work item in ESS Leave

    Hi,
    We are using standard ESS leave application in our portal, where employee can raise leave and his manager can approve/reject his leave. But I want in case manager rejects the leave, the rejected leave should not come into MSS UWL of employee, we will send a mail to employee and he can again login to ESS leave application and where he will see the rejected leave and he can re apply/change/delete  the rejected leave. We do not want rejected leave to come in UWL of employee as a work item.
    As of now when manager rejects the leave rejected leave of an employee , it is coming in UWL of the employee which we do not want, so what we did, we went to standard leave work flow template WS12300111, in that we double clicked on Task (TS12300116, Process Request by Employee) and in that  we clicked on agent assignment icon and than we clicked on attribute and we selected General forwarding not allowed radio button, by default general task radio button was selected.
    After selecting General forwarding not allowed radio button, even when manager rejects employee leave, rejected leave is not coming in UWL of employee which we want exactly, but another error is coming when employee goes to ESS leave application again and change or delete this rejected leave he is getting the error You are not a receiver of the work item .
    But if we select general task radio button in agent assignment in work flow , than eveything is working fine but employee is getting rejected leave in his UWL, that we do not want  at all, so why after selecting different radio button this error is coming ?
    Why employee is getting this error, why employee can not reapply/change his rejected leave. Is this portal error OR workflow error OR HR configuration error and  what is the solution for this..

    If you need this option then you need to change the WF Task.
    General Forwarding Not Allowed
    This indicator enables you to determine that work items for this task can only be forwarded to users who are agents for the task.
    If this indicator is not set, a work item for this task can be forwarded to all users.
    The best way to take care of User
    Forwaring authorization is the Task Classification (PFTC -> Additional
    Data -> Classification). Classify tasks with General Forwarding Not
    allowed, will give you the oppotunity to let the user allow to forward
    items JUST to the Possible Agents Assigned to the task
    (Additional Data -> Agent Assingment -> Maintain)...
    Clear that everything depends on How you have developed your workflows
    definitions. In that cases  the best think to do is
    create Different Tasks definition (TSxxxxxx) and let they start
    depending on Company Code (That can be driven via Conditions steps in
    the workjflow definition, for example). This will allow you to define
    Just the responsible Agents per each task, depending on the Companny
    Code. This definitively Resolve the Forwarding frelated Question.

  • Time/LEave approval in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1

    Hi all,
    Currently implementing ESS MSS on 4.7 system with EP 6.0 SP19.
    The BP we plan to use is Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1.
    My basic question is, we approve leave requests in BP for my SAP ERP (2004s) in the Universal worklist. How do we do the same in  Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1. There i sno mention on time approval and leave requests approval in the MSS standard documentation ( or probably i missed it).
    Any inputs in this regards are highly appreciated.
    regards

    Balaji,
    in mySAP we had the opition to lauunch the applications in web dynpro. like launch leave approval in web dynpro. do we have this kind of optiion where the manager can approve the work item on the portal application or will it call a transaction based iview to open the work item in the R/3

  • ESS leave request two-level workflow

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement for a two-level ESS leave workflow and need to know what would be the approach which can be taken to modify the standard 12300111 workflow.
    The status should be as follows
    STATUS                                                STATUS                                                  STATUS
    (SENT)                      Approves              (PENDING)                 Approves                (APPROVED)
    First Level approver -
    >   Second level approver -
    >
    As we can see, we need to add a new status namely, PENDING to the backend PTREQ tables. Can anyone please provide some kind of leads/info on this.
    Thanks and Regards
    Reshma

    Hi,
    You can take a copy of that standard workflow 12300111 and build your logic accordingly.and give that workflow number in SPRO settings.

  • Standard Work flow for Leave approval in HR module

    Hi ,
    My query is there any standard work flow available in HR module for Leave approval and Over time approval. We have negative time management and with out ESS and MSS.
    Pl suggest if any one has used this earlier with out ESS or EP
    Regards
    Punit

    I can think of the following but not without enhancement for the workflow part.
    - Since you are not using ESS, you (leave admin) may create the absence record directly in IT2001 (in LOCK mode).
    - In the user exit of 2001 you may trigger your Workflow process (i.e. call the function module to trigger WF here) depending on the LCCK status. You have to explore if standard WF can be used to your requirement.
    - Upon approval, you can UNLOCK the absence.
    - In the event that UNLOCK is unsuccessful, trigger WF to your Leave Admin for him to update via PA30.
    Standard SAP Workflow
    - Only 1 level approval
    - Using Chief Position
    IF your workflow requirement deviates, then you have to also customize workflow, does not matter whether you are using ESS or not.
    Finally test and retest to make sure all possible events are covered.
    OT is the same, except that you need to use 2007 vs 2002
