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 - 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

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?

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

Standard functionality of ESS Leave Request Details.

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody share the links of Standard functionality of ESS Leave Request Details..?
And,Is there any standard functionality in ESS Leave Requests that if a User raises a Leave Request and want to extend the leave...is there any rule that User First cancel the previous Leave Request and raise a New Leave Request .
Please explain briefly for the same.
Thanks,
Prakash.

You've all the customizing in SPRO > Personnel Management > Employee Self-Service > Service-Specific Settings > Working Time > Leave Request
You define:
1) A Rule with certain settings
2) Absences/Attendances to display in ESS, with certain settings, and its assignation to a Rule
3) A WF (commonly based on standard 12300111) --even you could not use a WF, check customizing
4) Run process (manually or not) for analyze, correct and delete or save the entries finally in SAP through PTARQ transaction
And,Is there any standard functionality in ESS Leave Requests that if a User raises a Leave Request and want to extend the leave...is there any rule that User First cancel the previous Leave Request and raise a New Leave Request .
The employee can be able to cancel the request even when attendance/absence was approved. You define this behaviour for each Absence/Attendance in customizing.

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.

ESS Leave request workflow : ws12300111 : Customizing

Dear experts,
I need to customoze ESS leave request workflow WS12300111.
Can you please tell me do I need to Copy this to a NEW workflow generating a new WF no or can I simply generate a new version for this only ? What is ideal ?
1. Can anyone tell me step by step process(config) in ESS leave application workflow?.(SWFVISU????)
2. Is workflow WS12300111, the only workflow that I need to look for leave application ?.
3. If it is WS12300111 I dont see any start event for this workflow. So how is it getting triggered?
4. For the approval task TS12300097, agent determination is done by expression &Agent_0001.Agents&. How does it interact with Org.Structure.
5. In my scenario, approver should be supervisor of the employee applying for leave. If it is pending with this approver for 5 days it should go to the next up level manager.
For identifying first level approver is &Agent_0001.Agents& enough.? For identifying 2nd level approval do I need to write a rule ?
Kindly help.

Hi Sourav,
Try this step by step process(config) in ESS leave application workflow.
ESS Scenario
Workflow Process 20000081 u2013 Create Leave Request with HTML
Steps for triggering the workflow:
1) The employee logs with his user name in the ESS web page.
2) The employee creates a leave request with an optional note and sends it to the appropriate approver (usually his supervisor). The approveru2019s name is automatically displayed in the leave request form and the employee can replace him with another if such a change is needed.
3) The approver (us approver) logs on to sap system or to ESS
web pages and reads his mails in the SAP Business Workplace. The employeeu2019s leave request form appears in the workflow inbox with approve and reject options.
A) If the us approver approves the leave request, he pushes the
button approve from his mailbox (processing status A with
approve). A screen is appeared with a box (Table entry: 0001)
and the approver must push the button continue in order that
the workflow is continued. Then the form is sent to the
employeeu2019s mailbox in Sap. When the employee opens his mails, he receives a note in his inbox that u201Cthe absence from u2026. To u2026..has been approved byu2026.u201D.After that the absence is
automatically created in the sap system. Then the approver gets a mail (notification of completion & Return u2026u2026).
B) When the approver cancels a leave request, he pushes the
button reject and the processing status changes to u201CRu201D.
Then the same form appears
Realative OSS Notes:588262, 480103, 717560, 452841, 359197, 321439, 428394, 321439, 693368, 451998 (ITS), 197746 (ITS), 419297 (ITS)
ITS - ESS stand-alone solution for 4.7
This solution allows customers to schedule the 4.6C or 470
install / upgrade independently from the Enterprise Portal or
mySAP Workplace implementation and will be supported at least as long as SAP R/3 4.6C and R/3 Enterprise is supported.
This ESS stand-alone menu is intended solely to allow independent scheduling of the 4.6C or 470 upgrade and the Enterprise Portal / mySAP Workplace installation. To use this solution, you have to take the following steps:
1. If you do not already have R/3 4.6C, HR support package 8,
please import HR support packages to at least this level. From
HR support package 8 and above, the correct services are
implemented. For 470, the corresponding recommended HR SP is 16 (See note 621589)
2. Verify that the ITS you want to use does not contain a service or service-related files (HTML templates, MIME files) for the services PZLE, PZM3 or PZM3_start. If you find these files,
delete them.
3. Publish the services PZLE, PZM3 and PZM3_start from your R/3 4.6C system (or R/3 470 system whichever is the case) to your ITS using the SAP@Web Studio or the IACOR service.
4. Maintain the username-employeenumber assignment in your system by customizing Infotype 0105, Subtype 0001 of those employees, who should be able to use ESS.
5. Verify that your users have proper authorizations for
executing RFCs (that is, authorization object S_RFC) from the
function group EH08. If you run into problems, this is most
likely due to missing RFC authorizations to start the service
PZM3.
6. Your users should now be able to access ESS by starting the service PZM3. They can do this by entering a URL like
http://<ITS server>:<http port>/scripts/wgate/pzm3/!
(the ! at the end is essential).
7. ESS 4.70 Unicode System ITS 6.10 patch level 29 and above (With IE and Netscape). ITS 6.20, patch level 6 and above (With IE only).
The ESS development tested these ITS versions.
8. For Release 4.6C, ESS has the same browser requirements as the HTML (see also note 178788) and the mySAP Workplace 2.11 (if ESS is accessed through the mySAP Workplace 2.11).
Hope it helps.Do award points if found helpful.

Team Calendar in ESS Leave Request (Error)

Hello,
we are configuring the Leave request in ESS and MSS in the portal (EP 7.0, ECC 6.0, latest release). The Leave Request process and application, Time accounts and Workflows all working fine and the customizing is done in the IMG.
Only under ESS -> Leave Request -> Team Calendar we are getting this Error:

Hi Bryan,
1. First of all make sure that the Internet Graphic Server is activated + up and running on your SAP ERP System (see also SAP Note 704604)
2. Then you have to set the Customizing Parameters for the Team Calendar in IMG (SAP ERP System):
a. Tcode: PTARQ -> Customizing
b. Working Time -> Team Calendar
c. Node Create Rule Group -> Example: 00000001 (SAP Standard)
d. Node Adjust WEBMO Feature -> Assign all Nodes to your Rue Group
e. Node Spec. Absecne to be displayed -> Here i assume you have set up the Leave Request Process and WF already, so you only need to assign this to your Rule Group:
Example.
00000001     SAP Standard     01     0100     Leave     01.01.1800     31.12.9999
f. Node Select Employee -->
Here you need to set the Group of your Employee which should be displayed in the team calendar:
Example.
00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     Approval Mode     View Group (MSS)     MSS_LEA_EE
00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     CATS Approval     View Group (MSS)     MSS_LCA_EE
00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     Attendance Overview     View Group (MSS)     MSS_LEA_EE     PPOME_P
00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     Administrator Mode     View Group (MSS)     MSS_LEA_EE     PPOME_P
00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     Request Mode     View Group (MSS)     ESS_LEA_EE
00000001     SAP Standard     01.01.1800     31.12.9999     Team View Mode     View Group (MSS)     MSS_LEA_EE     PPOME_P
---> Tipp: Check all Settings and Leave Types also with an HR Consultant before maintaing these in the ESS Customizing...

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
Diana Natanegara

Re: Advanced search in ESS leave request scenario

ESS leave request issue?

Hi Gurus,
I have an requirement where in which if employee enters (Employee total working hours is 8 hours per day) 4 hours in the hours column of the ESS leave request page.
He has to get 0.5 days in the no of days column in the ESS leave request page.

Link for ESS leave request?

Hi,
Can some one tell me how to display Ess leave request form ( THR10_1, Lesson Time Data figure 74)
Ejaz

Hello,
It's not a form, it's an Iview. You can access the Iview in 2 ways:
1. Via Content administrator, on the following path:
Portal Content
Content Provided by SAP
End User Content
Employee Self-Service
iViews
Working Time
Leave Request
2. Via Portal Directly, on Links:
ESS -> Working Time -> Submit Leave Request
(opc). Or via the Service directly. But this is only used for testing purposes. You can access the service via the following url:
http://HOST:PORT/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequest
