ESS Licence Clarification

Hi
If we go for only 500 SAP R/3 Prof licences but need more than 1000 ESS licences and ESS requires user ids to be created in SAP R/3 as well for some of the services like viewing payslip, personal details,  applying for leave, loans etc;
So is it allowed to create the additional ESS user ids in SAP R/3?
Appreciate any guidance on this.
Thanks
Sriram

hi,
ESS License and SAP R/3 License are different. So if you have e.g. 1000 ESS license and 500 SAP r/3 licenese , so in total you can have 1500 ESS users in your organisation as the 500 SAP r/3 license will work as ESS users by default.So users from departments like Lisioning, Legal and Admin, to whom you don't want to give access to SAP R/3, you can assign ESS or MSS role accordingly through which they can access ESS MSS services without access to R/3.
you can speak to SAP further in detail.
Hope its clear.

  • ESS licences. how much approx . alternative time/expense register subcos

    From what I understand when you want to use ESS then every users has to be an employee number and thus an SAP userid for HCM. Correct ?
    That implies that you need an ESS licence for everybody that has to use ESS. How much are we talking about per user ?
    In the case that I am investigating I would need a large number of subcos that have to be able to enter their time and expenses,  any alternative solutions not using ESS for that but still providing similar functionality as the ESS?
    Thank you, Vivian

    Do you require that for Performance testing? SAP provides a system called 'Discovery system'. This provides ample users for testing the functionality and performance.
    You may want to explore the same in depth.
    If helps, pl do reward.

  • ESS workflows clarification required

    Hi ,
    i am working on Ess workflows (ws12300111 ). i have copied standard workflo(ws12300111)  and deleted loops and hr approval steps ,as our requirement is just sending notification to manager and  mail to user after approval or rejection .
    doubts:
    1.) if we take step type 'send mail' in workflow builder  will that mail reflect in portal inbox ,if not how do ?
    2.)when i have applied leave in portal it is giving error stating that 'you are not possible agent' but i am using the standard one  (given as general task at task level)?
    please clarify these doubts.
    Regards,
    SreeHarsha

    Hi Sreeharsha Reddy,
    1.) if we take step type 'send mail' in workflow builder will that mail reflect in portal inbox ,if not how do ?
         No. For that you have synchoronise the task with the portal application in the tcode swnconfig.
    2.)when i have applied leave in portal it is giving error stating that 'you are not possible agent' but i am using the standard one (given as general task at task level)?
       Yes, it is correct. When ever you are using the standard workflow check for the general forwarding allowed in the task level and try to test once again.

  • Named user licence clarification

    I interpret the Named User Plus licence as follows
    a NUP allows one user to access oracle on one or more servers.
    The user minimum for Standard Edition (and SE1) is 5.
    Therefore, if I have a department of 4 people, accessing oracle systems on three servers, I still only need 5 NUP licences.
    The user minimum for Enterprise Edition is 25 [em]per processor[em]
    Therefore for the same department I need 75 licences (3 x 25, assuming single processor servers)
    Is this correct?

    There is no "query" or "formula" as such.  The number of users can be determined or estimated only by questioning the user team / management.  Oracle doesn't refer to the 'concurrent' users but users who are allowed to access the database.
    An application might have a single database account being used but a large number of users accessing via the application that connects to the database account.  With connection pooling or multi threading the number of processes might be lesser than the number of connected users.  The number of connected users at any time would be lesser than the number of authorized users.
    See the Software Investment Guide at  http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/software-investment-guide/index.html  (there is an explanation of the Named User Plus metric on page 13)  and the Price List at http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list-070617.pdf (the formal definition is on page 10)

  • Whether a User can have ESS User ID but no R/3 ID

    Dear All,
    Can U Plz Let Me Know whether a User can Have an ESS User ID but no R/3 ID and in Such a Scenario how would the integration happen between ESS and R/3.Also in Such a Scenarios What Would be the Effect on ESS Licences and R/3 Licences.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Punam, yes, you could manage Portal's Users by using windows users (i mean from Active Directory) or even maintain directly in Portal (Portal Users).
    But, in order to work with information from your ERP about an employee, you need to do any mapping with SAP.
    You could do a mapping against SAP  with a different user that your Portal user (i mean with different name), by storing the user ID for the ABAP backend system in the user properties.
    [Check this link: User Mapping|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f8/3b514ca29011d5bdeb006094191908/frameset.htm]
    Also, i suggest you talk with your Basis the possibility of mappping multiple users to one (i never test this workaround, so be carefully in the tests), but also you must talk with your SAP Agent to ensure you're using the correct number and type of licenses.
    Best regards

  • What are the dependencies to implement SAP PM module form Financials?

    Hi Experts,
    Requirement is that the client does not have SAP and now asking for only SAP PM module to be implemented. Can you please suggest me what are all the dependencies we need to consider from FICO and MM  point of view?
    Thank you very much
    Ganesh.

    If a company has implemented SAP without the HR module & now they want to implement SAP HR, will they have to buy a license for that? - Yes they will have to get licences for this.
    If yes, what will they have to pay? - They will have to contact SAP for this and negotiate with them.
    The number of employees working are 500. - The company will have to decide how many ESS licences they want to get and how many MSS licences they want to get. Again for all these ESS/MSS licences they wil have to pay separately apart from the HR licences.

  • ESS 1.2 - ABAP Web Dynpro Clarifications

    Hi all,
    We are on Ehp 2 in ECC 6.0 with ESS 1.2 in EP 7.0 and using only 'Travel & Expense' part for our implementation. I have below clarifications
    1. In ESS 1.2 package we have an Overview page and iView, I believe it is for JAVA Web Dynpro, will this support for ABAP Web Dynpro iViews or how to bring ABAP WebDynpro applications with Overview ?
    2. I have Mirrored the ESS PCD Content and modified only 'Invisible in Navigation Areas' parameter. Now the issue I am facing is while selecting button 'Create Travel Request' under 'My Trips and Expenses'. The request is fetching the original content navigation instead of the new Mirrored content. Also while debugging we find the routing 'Navigation Context' as below:
    DynamicParameter=SAP_FITV_ACTION=&SAP_FITV_EXIT_OP=CallTripsPOWL&SAP_FITV_TRIPCMP=R&HistoryMode=1&NavigationContext=ROLES://portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.employee_self_service/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.area_travel_expenses/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.12.request
    Is this parameter set by default to fetch the content ? Is it possible to change this entry, if yes, how ?
    Kindly let me know if any clues.
    Thanks!
    Sankar Kumar

    You need to replace the T&E portal content and Homepage Framework config (if using it) for the "older" Webdynpro Java version with the newer (EhP2) Webdynpro ABAP version. There is a very good step-by-step guide (I believe in Service Marketplace) that guides you through each and every change to make to switch one with the other. To your immediate questions...
    (1) Those are the replacements for the WDJ iViews. They are pretty much the same. As said, you need to "switch them out".
    (2) Switch out the WDJ iView with  the WDA iView. The parameter needs to reflect YOUR ESS ROLE pcd path to the object. (the one you show is the standard SAP ESS role....which is fine if you are just using it as is).
    Again, best to find that guide. I used it on my last project and it took all of maybe 30 min. to switch the old for new if you follow it.
    Also, read all the help.sap.com info on it....

  • Clarification on ESS reset password

    I am in need of small clarification regarding the reset of password in ESS.
    When the password of the user has been reset with any new password by the BASIS team say 'INITPASS'  and when the employee login with that password the system automatically leads to the change password screen.
    How does the system identify that the password has been reset and which field/table is this information stored ?
    USR02 has the login details.  But which specific change takes place so that the system identifies to prompt for change in password.
    Can anybody help me regarding the same.

  • Clarification in ESS User Licensing

    Dear All,
    Greetings!
    We are to implement ESS in a R3 4.7 Ext 1.10 system through ITS and SAP NW EP 6.0/SP21.
    ESS Users will be using the portal system to verify their personal details and other functionalities. I have used SSO and User Mapping.
    As per the settings the user created in the Portal System also needs to be created in the R3 system with the same user name as a dialog user. When I tried creating the user as a communication user I was not able to connect to my R3 backend system from portal using the defined communication user.
    Is this because of some configuration problems in SSO and User Mapping or such a scenario is not
    possible?
    I have a series of questions,
    1. If a user is created in R3 and Portal system only with ESS roles, should the user be allowed to login to the R3 system (or) the user logging-in to R3 system violates the ESS license?
    2. If the ESS user ids are created in both the R3 and Portal systems, how will the license be calculated?
    3. Is there a possibilty of maintaining the R3 ESS user id's as a communication user and not allowing them a login through SAP Logon GUI?
    Kindly advice if I am wrong.
    Expecting your replies at the earliest.
    Thank you
    Regards,

  • Error while displaying migrated ESS Portal iviews.

    Dear Experts,
    We are doing a technical upgrade from ECC 5 to ECC6 EnHP4 & replacing current EP 6.0 with new Installation of EP 7.01 SPS7 & migrating PCD content (ESS, MSS) from EP 6.0 to EP 7.01. I've moved only a handful of ESS iviews & while doing a preview of them in EP 7.0 I get the below message (Both for PZ02 & PZ13)

    In the backend ECC system under sap/bc/gui/sap/its/ I cannot see services like PZ02, PZ13 etc so I cannot activate them. Can somebody advice how can I resolve this issue.
    Thanks & Rgds,
    Abhishek

    Hi Abhishek,
    I think you will find that many of the old ITS based ESS services have been replaced in the new version by JAVA Web Dynpro applications. Part of your migration needs to be to either
    1. Start using the new Web Dynpro based services
    OR
    2. (Not recommended or supported by SAP)... try to get the old ITS based services working in ECC6 (e.g. with integrated ITS)
    I hope this clarifies things for you,
    BRgds,

  • Adding a new field on ESS screen.

    Hello Experts,
    Just need a  suggestion on how to a add a check box to the ESS view.
    After reimporting the model basically, I want to know where do I have to edit the model bindings.
    The RFC, we have added a custom field in the struchure  HRBEN00_FSACONTRIB_TRANS  of RFC HR_BEN_ESS_RFC_OFFER_DETAILS.
    The view, I am tryign to add the field is to DetailFSAContributionView.
    I just want to get little clarification on communication between view, interface controller, component controller and the model.
    In a web dynpro application binding is between view -> controller n controller -> model. Looks like in the FPM application its different.
    So, if anyone can let me know how to do the binding and any additional steps needed to be added to code inorder to intiate the values?
    You help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    James

    HI,
    to add a check box, do it the layout if u want to do at design time,
    or write code in the wdDoModifyView to create a check box if u want t o do it dynamically...
    coming to the binding,
    first check how the binding is done in the data modeller,
    if it is view>componentcontroller->interfacecontroller
    and model-->component controller,
    reimport the model (as u have modified the structure)
    first, apply template(service controller) to the component controller  (binding takes place b/w the component controller and the model
    then, bind the view to component controller and then component controller to the interface controller.
    Regards,
    Satya.

  • Configuration of ESS and MSS in Portal for HCM

            This is suresh calling for clarifications and doubts in HCM...   see i'm new to portal, but my requirement is to configure ESS and MSS for HCM... i dont know actually wat needs to be done and the way of approach... these are the doubts,
    1. Basic steps for Portal Configuration
    2.  I need some docs for configuring ESS and MSS...
    3.   a) After configuring ESS and MSS, wat needs to be done.. suppose my client is asking for Leave Request in ESS, whether    i  need to create that application in webdynpro java or webdynpro abap in backend and i've to call that application in portal throgh iview...
         b) or by doing the configuration of ESS, by default i will get all the aplications(e,g, Leave Request, Travel Managemetn ....) from that package and it will display in iview...
    I dont know basic steps .... plz help me ... Thanks i advance...........!

    Ok. Here are the answers:
    1. Basic steps for Portal Configuration
       > Download ESS/MSS Business Package, it has two parts Business Package for ERP 2005 (Contains iviews, Roles etc) and XSS 5.0 or 6.0 depending upon the version of the ECC.
      > Make sure that you have SAP_HR and EA_HR component installed on your ECC box.
      > Also make sure that there is no compatibility mismatch between version of SAP_HR, EA_HR and XSS.
      > Configure the JCo Destinations, create required system definition and establish SSO between ECC and Portal.
      > Assign the role to the users
    > After doing these steps you can see the SAP provided iviews etc working PROVIDED configuration on HR side are already done.  (This is just to get initial configuration work)
    2. I need some docs for configuring ESS and MSS...

    > Look for that application in WebDynpro (identify the component from iView properties) and show it to the client.
    If they are Ok with the basic things then fine else they need to specify the kind of customisation they want in this component
    Options available if we need to modify the components
    >>Copy the component in your namespace and do the modification using NWDINWDS
    >>If some field need to be disabled, you can do the same using Self service administration.
    b) or by doing the configuration of ESS, by default i will get all the aplications(e,g, Leave Request, Travel Managemetn ....) from that package and it will display in iview...
    Hope this helps. ...
