ESS Leave error: Use Input Help to select an Approver

Hi,
We are using ERP2005, ESS.
In the leave application, few employees are getting error "Use the input help to select an approver".
For all these employees following observation were made,
1. their Manager was recently changed.
2. this is the first leave request they are raising after the change of manager
3. DB Table HRESSAPPROVER has the name of the old manager as approver.
Please pour in your inputs.
Thanks
Krishna

The warning or error message you see only occurs
when the Leave request application is unable to determine the
Next agent (Approver), In the standard you have defined
Line manager the system should pick this without,But I am not
sure what modification you are using.
Are you using the customised workflow?
In PTARQ >> Determine Approver, does the system
gets the right approver for this pernr?
in the customizing for the definition of the processes per rule group
you set the selection for the next processor to "Manual Entry" or
Line manager? Please can you verify this.
Check if the organisational assigmenet is done for the employee.
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.

ESS: Leave Request: Additional Input Field in Portal?

Hi experts,
we are using ESS/MSS BP 1.0 with ERP6.0. We want to add a custom field for an absence type, because we need a additional approver for this absence type.
So we added the field through customizing and now see this in the portal.
But, are we able to change the plain text field to an select field like the standard approver field?
And much more important: Is it even possible using the badi BAdI PT_GEN_REQ or PT_ABS_REQ to bring the input into the backend and use it in a workflow?
As i unfortuately didnt find a meaningful documentation, it would be great to get an answer from one of you out there.
Best Regards,
Thomas

Hi Guys,
has nobody got a a clue for me? Please give me a short answer whether it is possible - by using the described badi and the customizing - to add data from the mss to the backend or not.
Best Regards,
Thomas

Runtime error using range table in select query

I have to select tcodes from table tstc, based on the entries in ust12,
the entries in ust12-von and ust12-bis, these contains wild charcters also, and i have to selct all the tcodes from von to bis.
so ia m preparing a range table for the entries in ust12, and querying table tstc, then i am getting a runtime error with following description.
'If the problem occurred because an excessively large table was used
in an IN itab construct, you can use FOR ALL ENTRIES instead.'
but how can i use FOR ALL ENTRIES here, because if von = A* and bis = AB*,then i ahve to read all the entries from AAAA till ABZZ (may be something like this),
is there any way to write this query, with out runtime error.
there are total 15000 entries in ust12, i am preparing range table for 3000 entries each and querying tstc.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Amarender Reddy B

Hi,

eg: select von bis from ust12 into table gt_ust12
where von LIKE 'A%'
and bis LIKE 'AB%'.
now write another select for tstc for all entries in gt_ust12...
Hope it helps

POWL: Freely Programmed Input help for Selection Criteria possible

Hi,
is it possible to add a freely programmed value help to a POWL-selection field? In this case the use of OVS is unsufficient from the user perspective.
Can anybody guide me?
Thanks, Elke.

I dont intend to create another search help component for my 2nd input field because if let say i have 20 input fields that requires search help, does that means I need to create 20 search help components and embed 20 of them into my parent component?
NO need of creating 20 more search helps if you have these 20 attributes in the result table of the value help.
just check in the help from where the help is getting called and then pass the value accordingly.
here is a sample code where i am checking whether the search help is called from ID field or Location field and then passing
the required info back.
lo_listener = wd_comp_controller->value_help_listener.
lv_attrib_name = lo_listener->f4_attribute_info-name.
IF lv_attrib_name EQ 'ID'.
lo_listener->f4_context_element->set_attribute( value = lv_id
name = lv_attrib_name ).
ENDIF.
IF lv_attrib_name EQ 'LOCATION'.
lo_listener->f4_context_element->set_attribute( value = LOC
name = lv_attrib_name ).
ENDIF.
wd_comp_controller->fire_vh_data_selected_evt( ).

Error with Input help ---- search help

Hi,
I created one input field GL in a view View1. Now I created a node GL_ACCT and one attribute in that node SAKNR. This saknr is by default attached with searchhelp and I also want that.
Now i connected the "value" property of the element to SAKNR.
At this condition,no syntax error and getting activated. But when i run the application it shows the error like " context binding for property value of GL cannot be resolved: Node view1.GL_ACCT does not contain any elements".
can any one help in this.
Thanks

Thomus,
You are right.
I gave one supply function.
Inside of the supply function, I created one internal table and I just bind the table and now the error went out.
when I bind the table it contains no value but then only the error went .
But I could not understand why it behaves like that. what is logic behind that. I dont know why ?
did any one tried and got the same error ?
I set the cardinality of the node 0:n
Thanks

Hi,
mhm, 7.6. Would you mind sending the full version number?
On the other hand, when I tried with the current 7.6-version, I succeeded.
Therefore I would like to ask you to do
start database studio and run just before sending the statement to be checked
with the dbmcli
     dbmcli u2013d u2026 -u u2026 trace_clear
     dbmcli u2013d u2026 -u u2026 trace_on all 2
     dbmcli u2013d u2026 -u u2026 db_execute diagnose vtrace stop on error -5006
now reproduce the problem
     dbmcli u2013d u2026 -u u2026 trace_off all
     dbmcli u2013d u2026 -u u2026 trace_flush
     dbmcli u2013d u2026 -u u2026 trace_prot akbxms
behind -d the database name   and behind -u the systemdba with password has to be given (user,pw)
and please send that part of the resulting file <database>.prot which starts with your commend and ends with -5006
I would like to see if the statement itself or subsequent parts for fetching the result to client-side are the trouble-maker

ESS Leave request: specify processing process for an auto approval presence

Hi experts,
My client wants to use a type of presence in ESS (Mobile working) to be requested by the employee without any worklow approval. I just need them to automatically stay on status approved.
I was trying to configure this requirement but system does not allow me to uncheck box "Requests have to be approved". (See links).
http://screencast.com/t/iGblIQ9DKy
http://screencast.com/t/f4PgbmDvq
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
AS

yeah there is a bug for this, implement the note 1451738 to fix it
requests to be approved, should be unchecked for automatic approval as you said is correct of achiveing your requirement!

Using SEARCH HELP exit in dependency of other parameters from my dynpro.

Hello experts,
how can I access the values of input fields (parameters or select-options) from my dynpro?
I need to build a F4-help in dependencie of another field on the screen with help of the F4 - exit. I think this should be possible.
If I do test the search help with SE11 it works fine. All parameters from screen are given in SHLP_TAB[1]-INTERFACE (the parameter of my f4-help-exit)
The short example explains the problem more detailed.
REPORT test_dynpro_events_ck.
PARAMETERS ea1 TYPE my_char_10_ck DEFAULT 'here I push F4' MATCHCODE OBJECT MY_F4_HELP_CK.
PARAMETERS ea2 TYPE my_char_10_ck DEFAULT 'this is the value I need to generate the F4 help of field ea1'.
MY_F4_HELP_CK:
import: EA1 and EA2
export EA1
Many Thanks
Christian

Thank you so far.
But how are these parameters passed to the search help without using global set/get parameters or DYNPRO_READ_VALUE? Why can I put these parameters to my search help as input parameters ... seems to be useless if I use search help on Selection-Dynpros?
Is there not a better way to deal with search-helps which are dependent from other input fields? Btw. I need the value without passing PAI and PBO.
In my Example:
doing some text inputs in field EA2 -> hit search help on EA1 -> need a selection dialog in dependency of the input in EA2. This can not be that complicated?
Many thanks
Christian

Error "Extend the destination address using the location input help"

Hi experts,
I got warning while creating travel expense from existing travel request.
the warning appear like this "Extend the destination address using the location input help"
I don't want user to enter detail of address trip destination.
how to avoid this?
thanks
Edited by: nzworld on Apr 29, 2011 5:42 AM

Hi,
If you are using ESS and you get the warning message when you enter details for a particular expense type. Please follow the config and hide the location details. Then you will not get this error message.
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting (New) > Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Dialog and Travel Expenses Control > Dialog Control > Field Control for Additional Receipt Information.
Enter your trip provision variant, select the expense type for which you dont want to enter the location details and then select details. Search for the variable location, select hide radio button and save.
Please let me know if you have further clarifications.

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

This function works only after POV.
So ensure that it is written in that module:

Error by using database procedure in select statement

hi ,
I have built a database procedure having one parameter with in out varchar type. that return value with some addition.
i am using it with some column in select statement only for display purpuses but i am facing error by doing that in select statement. that procedure is working well with bind variable but not with select statement.
plz help me how i can use a procedure in select statement. or can i do it or not.

plz help me how i can use a procedure in select statement. or can i do it or not.A workaround could be to create a wrapper function for your procedure. One that only passes the input parameters and returns the output parameter.
The simply call this function in your select which internally calls the procedure.
