Thanks

hi Jeroen,
Can u please help me with my issue.......
My issue is to add new fields in ess/leave request i.e...
The component needs to be Checked-out through Net Weaver Development Infrastructure, make the necessary enhancements, and finally Check-it-in back to NWDI.
Custom Function Modules are to be invoked apart from the standard ones that are already available in the Leave Request component – ess~lea inorder to accommodate the extra absence-type logic.
can u please sujjest me where should i make changes in the given 14 components
means in which view i have to add these fields.................

  • ESS Leave Request - Customer fields default function not working

    Hi,
    a. SAP version being discussed
    SAP ECC6.0
    EP7.0
    ESS/MSS
    b. Here is the scenario
    1. We are using ESS Leave Request application for employees to request leave. We are using the standard web dynpro java leave request application delivered by SAP.
    2. Lately there has been a need to provide a customer field on the request form which will have a calculated value showing up when the employee opens the request
    3.We used one customer field called customer01 as per configuration steps.
    4. This field appears on the request form when it is opened.
    5. Our need is to display a value in that field when the form is opened.
    6. SAP/s documentation states that we can use BADI PT_ABS_ARQ to default a value to this field on the form. This value is calculated during runtime dynamically.
    7. We have used the method IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP for this purpose
    8. After activating and coding this implementation, the system does not default anything on the request form when it is opened up.
    9. Once the employee hits the review button, this field gets its defaulted value but this is not what we want. We want the system to display this when the form is OPENED, that means at the prepare stage. For this field to appear after hitting the review button is meaningless as the employee needs to make a decision based on the value in this field before hitting the review button.
    It almost seems like this BADI is called when the review button is hit and not when the form is opened up. We may be wrong and missing something obvious which one of you can immediately point out, Hence this post.
    10. I did go thru the forum at great length and seen that there has been discusion surrounding the need to populate R3 from a value entered into this field. My problem is different wherein, I wish to populate this upfront as display information when the form is opened and then send it back to R3, once the employee submits the request.
    Would be grateful if anybody on this forum could point me in the right direction.
    Thank you,
    Rajesh

    Please, can I take this question a little further.
    Is it possible to add more fields to the leave request form on the ESS portal. For example, our customer wants additional fields like reason for leave, contact residential and telephone number during leave, Require leave entitlements (Yes/No).
    Would appreciate if a reply can be given on if it is possible or not and what to be done if it is possible.
    Cheers

  • ESS - Leave Request Display Fields

    Hi:
    On the leave request screen in ESS, the following fields are displayed at the bottom of the screen: 
    Type of Leave
    Date
    Time
    Duration
    Approver
    Note for Approver
    Does anyone know if it is possible to hide the Time fields? If so, where are the changes made? These fields will not be used as part of our leave request process.
    Regards,
    Brian

    Yes personalisation
    or
    Make sure in the counting rule you have defined this absense
    Condition < 1 day? Is this checked? if not checked you ll not
    see the Clock Times
    ALso check the T554s customisation for the absence?
    Minimum duration is given as ?
    Please check the configuration of the
    absence type does it allow the partial day to be booked?
    ie In the Counting Rule ( T556C) can you book only full day or partial
    day.
    Also
    Feature HRSIF had value '0'. So the system
    generated clock times itself. But when you set the feature to '1' then
    the probleme is solved.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Advanced search in ESS leave request scenario

    Dear experts,
    we want to use the leave request scenario for ESS. The employees should choose the ap-prover with the search help (or advanced search which pops up when the user clicked the symbol at the edge of the approver field). Is there any way to customize the advanced search so that the result only lists employees in a specific role and not all of them? Where can I see the code from the advanced search und where can I change this?
    I am thankful for any hints and tips!
    Many thanks

  • 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.
    2)     Quota Overview
    While displaying the Casual Leaves (CL) I need to deduct the Paternity leaves (PL) also.
         Remaining CLu2019s = quota CLu2019s u2013 ( used CLu2019s + used PLu2019s).

    hi kishore. how did you resolve the issue of workflow not being triggered?

    Hi,
    Your ABAPer will be the best person to let you know the table name or some experts here who have come across this situation will guide you. Also check where other types of leaves are populated in SAP and your new value is there or not.

  • Enhancement in ESS Leave Request

    Hi Gurus,
    I am new to webdynpro Java. I have a requirement to add a custom button in a Standard ESS leave request (Webdynpro Java) view.

    Hi,
              Good, you are now able to do modification in Standard ESS package. If you want to navigate to another WDABAP iView from your WDJAVA application, you can use the below code on some button or link action to navigate to another iView.
    Check this link:-
    http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/navigation/api/WDPortalNavigation.html
    public void onActionnavigateToToAbapiView(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
        //@@begin onActionnavigateToAbapiView(ServerEvent)
         try
                        WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
                         "ROLES://portal_content/com.demo.DEMO_PCD/com.demo.ESS_SAP/com.demo.iview_ESS/demo.com.java_demo_com_demodc_demo_com_DemoApp",
                         WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
                         "Window Title", WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,
                         "Title",
                         "",//ContextURL
                         "param1=10&param2=portalID");          
         catch (Exception e)
              e.printStackTrace();
    You will find your WDAbap PCD location in Content Admin, copy it and repace PCD: with ROLES at start.
    also you can pass parameters between 2-iViews, in the above code snippet you can find that.
    the above code needs to be written in your source iView so as to navigate to destination iView which is mentioned using its PCD location.
    to retrieve the parameters you need to check ABAP syntax to retrieve URL parameters.
    In java we retreive using below syntax:-
    String param1 = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param1");
    String loginID = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param2");
    to show it as a Pop-Up you need to find some work-around to achieve it, If i get time will do it and let you know, but if you find something for that do share.
