ESS/MSS country specific

Hi SAP GURUS,
Any one please help me what are the standard country specific functionality provided by SAP for ESS/MSS, like leave management, Benfits, ......etc.
Thanks & Regards,
Samba.

@ram manohar .....I don't think you understood the original question.
For ESS/MSS, there are several country-specific delivered services. What is available will depend on your version. For ESS, there are several. For MSS, not many (if any, I can think of off-hand). I would highly suggest you go to help.sap.com and select your backend version and then look at the chapters on ESS/MSS which will list ALL country-specific delivered services. If a service is NOT delivered for your country of need, you can also "reuse Country-Specific applications which is detailed in the configuration documentation in the IMG itself (basically you make entries in a table that says "when you see THIS molga, use the service that is associated with this OTHER molga instead").

MSS - Country Specific

Hi All,
We are running standard MSS with custom Java Webdynpro forms launched from the PCR menu integrated by ISR Scenario.
Some of our forms are country-specific (to the reporting employee).
Ie. Manager is in Slovakia, reporting Employee is in India.
The scenario picks up the Manager's molga, so displays the Slovakian form, not the Indian form.
We thinkwe know how to fix this, but
Question: Does SAP deliver any MSS forms that are country-specific in any Business Package? Eg Trasfer FOR COUNTRY XX
Answer: Can't find any.
Regards,
Jimmy.

country specific services exist for country speciic infotypes and are based on the ecc rather than the portal.
so the answer to your question is no. there are no forms (as of ehp4) which are country specific.
Then, the molga of the portal user is decided in the back-end-ecc, and not in the portal, at least not in mss bit of portal, ess yes there are a few services specific to various countries but mss nope.

Missing IMG entry - "Reuse country specific services" for iviews

Hi all,
We have experienced a problem related with an IMG activity which we couldnu2019t found:
u201CReuse country specific servicesu201D.
We need this for iviews to be used for different country grouping (in our case we have to use 99).
We know that we need to configure table T7XSSREUSEUISN but for some reasons it is not in the directoryu2026.
Any suggestions or work around?
Any inputs are much appreciated.
By the way our ECC is 5.0 and EP is 7.0.
Thanks,

ESS/MSS Customizations

HI ESS/MSS Gurus,
During our discussions with the client regarding the inherent features of the standard ESS/MSS functionalities, several points were raised, namely:
1. The cumbersome nature of data/request entry - basically they just want all the request filing to occur in one screen. No need to skip screens to review and validate the request
2. No record id to document the request -> they want a means for the user and manager to monitor and track requests using a standardized request numbering system. I believe that the standard solution for ESS/MSS does not have this one in place
3. Ability to extract reports of histories of requests raised (for the employee) and requests reviewed (for the manager)
In our opinion, these items will require heavy customization on both the portal and back end side. We are basically considering a custom table which will store these information and depending on the status of the requests, a request column will be updated with the corresponding values. The request approvals, notifications, and postings are also to be done via ABAP
In designing this solution, we came across some stumbling blocks, specifically on updating the personal and team calendars for leave requests and the employee's schedule for the clock in/out corrections. Hence, we want to check if any of you guys have had experience with customizing the ESS/MSS interfaces (specifically the leave and clock in/out application and approval), and if so, can you help us identify which tables are being updated/read when a leave or clock in/out is created and approved. We already checked the FMs attached to the portal application and the they call several methods and functions; i.e. is there a table/set of tables that you can point us to instead?
Your immediate response is highly appreciated.
Regards,

1. The cumbersome nature of data/request entry - basically they just want all the request filing to occur in one screen. No need to skip screens to review and validate the request
-- Depending on your version less than or equal to ehp5,.. this is true in versions less then ehp5. then ahain until ehp4 any forms that need implementation will need some element of development work so in your particular case the element of develpment could be a little higher to make them all use a single entry screen that gets submitted.
2. No record id to document the request -> they want a means for the user and manager to monitor and track requests using a standardized request numbering system. I believe that the standard solution for ESS/MSS does not have this one in place
-- for any form or process that has workflow attached there is an automatic workflow-id assigned by the system and I believe you can report on these inthe back end... standard workflow fuctionality... why dont you explore this option with your workflo consultant?
3. Ability to extract reports of histories of requests raised (for the employee) and requests reviewed (for the manager)
-- refer to point 2 answer above...

ESS/MSS for International Country grouping

Hi all,
Scenario: We are implementing Portal ESS/MSS on ECC6 and have loaded the Best Practices with the below components.
SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 SP12 with the following additional software components
     BP ERP05 Common Parts 1.0 SP08 (BP_ERP5COM)
     BP ERP05 ESS 1.0 SP08 (BP_ERP5ESS))
     BP ERP05 MSS 1.0 SP08 (BP_ERP5MSS)
     SAP ESS 600 SP08 (SAP_ESS)
     SAP MSS 600 SP08 (SAP_MSS)
     SAP PCUI_GP 600 SP08 (SAPPCUI_GP)
Now, the ESS and MSS is to be implemented for a Country Grouping 99 - International and not any specific country.
Problem: The iViews are not loading for International, when the R/3 config setting is for 99. While it seems to be calling the right iViews for 10 - USA or 12 - Belgium.
Can you please assist on how to link up the Users to the roles and correct iViews.
Thank you.
Sandeep

Hi Anil,
Steps in brief:
0. Once you have implemented the Busin. Packages from SAP you will get all the Portal Content which is country specific. This is the same content being called from R/3 using country specific resources.
1. Go to R/3 -> Pers Admin -> ESS -> General Settings -> Home Page for SS -> Services -> Define Country Srvcs.
Go into Define Country specific srvcs and you will see the view V_T7XSSSERSRVCG
2. This table contains all the country specific implementations offerred by SAP. You can use some of these and copy/create for CGrpng 99 as below. This should be based on what services you want to use on ESS.
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_ADDRESS         99    EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_BE_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_ADDRESS05       99    EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_BE_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_BANK            99    EMPLOYEE_BANK_BE_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_BANK05          99    EMPLOYEE_BANK_BE_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_FAMMEMBER       99    EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_BE_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_FAMMEMBER05     99    EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_BE_SERVICE05
3. Also make sure your CGrpng in Pers Area/ PSA is set to 99, basically Employee shold belong to 99.
Hope this helps in figuring out a few more things !!
Good luck

Service specific ESS/MSS customizing for netherlands

Hello experts,
could anyone please let me know if there are country specific ESS/MSS scenarios for netherlands are available. I couldn't find anytihing in the help.sap.com documentation.
Many thanks
Marco

Hi Marco
There should be specific country services for ESS netherlands - You should be able to see the following in the Homepage Framework customizing table of the back-end ECC system -->
EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS_NL_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_BANK_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_BANK_NL_SERVICE05
EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_FAMMEMBER_NL_SERVICE0
EMPLOYEE_PERSDATA_NL_SERVICE
EMPLOYEE_PERSDATA_NL_SERVICE05
The actual iviews and WD applications should be visible in the Portal PCD under the ESS role end user content or in J2EE WD content administrator under essnlxxx
If they are not available it could be you are missing essential ESS software components or have a different technology platform and older ESS version or too low an SP stack
MSS is general functionality which should be available in Dutch - this may be BP dependant therefore please check release notes or any download information for the software component for more details
Hope this helps
Stuart

ESS Personal information country specific services

Dear Guru's,
We have set up the following country specific services (Dutch = molga 05) for the Personal Information Workset in ESS:
- Adresses
- Bank relations
- Personal Information
While testing these services for two persons the following situatin occurs:
- Person A: has parameter MOL 05 set in transaction SU01 and uses ESS portal role.
- Person B: has parameter MOL 05 set in transaction SU01 and also uses ESS portal role.
Als the country specific services are defined to the country speficif resources.
While trying to change the record in infotype 2, 6 and 9 for Person A using ESS all the procedures are succesfull.
While trying to change the record in infotype 2, 6 and 9 based on the date of today for Person B the systeem gives back the following error:
"record 00001101 0009 0 with date x has group value "" instead of "05".
(pernr) (infotype) (sub) (date previous record) (MOLGA)
This seems to be strange because both users have exactly the same profile in ECC and Portal.
Also the application seems te have a problem with the limitation of the previous record since the system says that that record has group value " " instead of "05"
Since this is the last problem we face in ESS we could need some help.
Kind regards

Hi,
This issue is because of data inconsistency. In se38, the report RPUFIXDS should be run to fix this.
This can be run for a single personnel number or a range of personnel numbers.

ESS - Reuse of Country Specific Application

Hi,
I am working on EHP5 enviornment. I have a requirement to show the Personal ID service in ESS for country Mexico. But this is not available as standard in ESS for Mexico. So I have tried to reuse the service Personal ID for Thailand. I have done the below configurations:
1. Reuse of Screen Structure for New Country Version
View:   V_T7XSSREUSEUISN
UI Structure name: HCMT_BSP_PA_TH_R0185
Type: Infotype.
2. Specify Use Case and Active Subtypes: View: V_T7XSSPERSUBTY
Ctry Grping: 32
Infotype: 185
Subtype: 01
3. Define Country-Specific Services (Add Entries): View:   V_T7XSSSERSRVCG
Service Key:   Z_EMPLOYEE_PERSINFO_PERSID05_Thailand
Link Resource: EMPLOYEE_PERSID_TH_SERVICE_13
I have checked the VIEKN table for an employee of Mexico and it contains the value 32.
Pls let me know what other configurations I need to do or that needs to be done from the portal end.
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,
Ranjeeta

Hi Ranjeeta,
This will work with these steps you have specified. Also refer to the following documents also,

Regards,
Sithi

is the connection language set to blank?
Please can you verify
can you go through the steps in note 1585427
can you check using LPD_CUST
1. Go to Transaction u201CSPROu201D  Navigate to SAP Customizing Implementation GuidePersonnel Management Employee Self Service( Web Dynpro ABAP ) General SettingsESS Menu for ServicesMenu for SAP Portal Role Execute u2018Set Up Launchpad(Employee Services)u2019  Double click on Role u201CESS MENUu201D.
translation there if you are using portal
NWBC< you need to use PFCG
1. Go to transaction PFCG  Enter Role as u201CSAP_EMPLOYEE_ESS_WDA_1u201Dand then click on display icon Navigate to Roles tab.
2. Navigate to u201CMenuu201D tab.

Language specific settings for ESS/MSS

Hello Experts,
I got a question on language specific settings on the portal:
1) Suppose i have configured my ESS/MSS BP and my settings are in English language. Now when i logged in to the portal and click, it is opened in English language only, but when i click on Leave Request page, this particular page is opened in some other language (i mean other than English), so what might be the problem and where are the settings needs to be done if i encounter these kind of errors.
Cheers
Vijay

Hi Vijay
There are so many things that could affect language here is the ones I am aware of
1) IE locale
2) JCO language setting
3) Forced Language in Iview itself
4) Missing translations in the translation cycle
5) Java Dictionary bugs see 1082994
6) WD JAVA runtime bugs see 1265969
Best wishes

Hi,
What is this molga ?
Can anyone explain in detail how to acheive country specific scenarios ( like if i want some UI elements to be visible for one country but not for other )?
Can this be achieved from the backend settings (spr) in homepage framework or we need to do changes by going into the UI ?
If changes are to be done by going into UI then do we need to create seperate iviews for each country ?

ESS- Multi country manager problem

Hello Experts,
We are facing a problem in ESS Implementation. We have a few employees who are managers in their employment country as well as for few (1 or 2) more countries. ESS WD-Java applications are picked up wrongly for such users and they get java dump - field symbol has not been yet assigned. error key:RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
For example we have a user who is employee (pernr) in country say Germany and having manager role in backend. And as we are using ABAP AS as our UME source, the backend role has u2018Germany ESS/MSSu2019 portal groups assigned to it. Thus this user has access to ESS Germany applications (WD iViews) and MSS Germany applications (iViews).
Now this manager is also working as manager in country say Sweden and hence assigned the Sweden manager role in backend which has u2018Sweden ESS/MSSu2019 groups assigned in portal. Now he has access to ESS Sweden and MSS Sweden but he is not having pernr from country Sweden.
Now in portal the concerned user (manger-Germany) gets error while trying any of ESS (webdynpro) applications (personal data, address for example). When we examined this we found that the user is getting Sweden country specific wd application. For the role - ESS Germany we are assigning only Germany specific wd application. If this is causing by multiple ess roles assigned thereby multiple country specific application, then we need to know how to manipulate the order of the applications. As such users are large- modifying the existing role structure is ruled out.
We are using {NW 7.01 SP03} and {ECC 6 EHP4} and {ESS 1.41, MSS 1.41- patch level same as ehp4}.
Please help - we are in final preparation phase and as there are many such users this is really need to be solved.

HI,
DO it by following ways
Country-Specific Services
     In this IMG activity, you define country-specific services. When an
     employee starts a service, the system determines the employee's country
     grouping and checks if there is a country-specific service definition in
     the V_T7XSSSERSRVCG and V_T7XSSSERSRVCGC views.
     o   If there is a country-specific service definition, the system uses
         this definition.
     o   If there is no country-specific service definition, the system uses
         the general service definition in the V_T7XSSSERSRV and
         V_T7XSSSERSRVC views. If the general service definition does not
         contain a resource object, the system does not display the service
         (see example 2).
     This enables you to define country-specific variations of services for
     certain countries while using a general service definition for all other
     countries.
     Activities
     Examples
     Example 1
     Your company has employees in seven different countries:
     o   Germany (01)
o   Austria (02)
o   Switzerland (03)
o   Canada (07)
o   USA (10)
      (Number in brackets = country grouping)
The service for displaying a salary statement is the same for Germany,
Austria, and Switzerland. For Canada and the USA, you need services with
additional content.
o   You define a general service for displaying the salary statement in
      the V_T7XSSSERSRV and V_T7XSSSERSRVC views.
o   You define two additional services for the country groupings 07 and
      10 in the V_T7XSSSERSRVCG and V_T7XSSSERSRVCGC views.
When an employee from Germany, Austria or Switzerland starts the service
for displaying salary statements, the system uses the service definition
in the V_T7XSSSERSRV and V_T7XSSSERSRVC views.
When an employee from Canada or the USA starts the service for
displaying salary statements, the system uses the service definition in
the V_T7XSSSERSRVCG and V_T7XSSSERSRVCGC views.

ESS/MSS - Floor Plan Manager - DC Model Modification

Hi,
We are working on ESS/MSS business package based on FPM framework (WebDynpro). We have a small requirement but implementation of this is causing hell lot of problem. So I am looking for expert opinion on this.
We are modifying Address Data DC for a specific country. This DC (essXXaddr) component is taking data from IT0006 (Address Infotype).
Requirements: Introduces additional fields (Not a Z field) on Address DC component (essXXaddr) from IT0105 (Communication) and update the same when user saves address data.
Solutions we tried are:
1. Create another model in DC based on Function Group:
HRXSS_PER_P0105_XX
and update SAP using its RFC.
Problem: Throwing error. If we debug the call in the SAP (ABAP side), we can see that the container (ABAP) is taking value of infotype 0006 and not 0105 when making a call to communication model and we are getting errors.
2. Create a ZRFC model in DC based on Function Group : Z_XX_P0105 and update SAP using this RFC.
Problem : Read operation is working fine. But modify operations is again throwing RFC_EXCEPTION. The RFC is working fine if called from in ABAP and update data as required but the call from DC is causing some context problem.
Also the problem associated with this solution is When to update the data? As such the standard MODEL HRXSS_PER_P0006_XX is saving data on pressing of SAVE Button and not on pressing on REVIEW button. But on pressing REVIEW button the DC is calling the MODIFY Std RFC and storing the data in the buffer and committing the work when SAVE button is pressed.
What should be the solution of this problem?
Any clue???
Thanks in Advance.
Note: We are using the correct Country specific DCs and RFC's. (XX -> DE, US etc)

You must modify the Java source code as well. You have to install NetWeaver Development Infrastructure to get access to the ESS source code.

How to call the country specific application depending upon Pers area

We are using ess / mss on EP 7 and back end is ECC 6.0    .
Our requirement is
Though in R/3 for all employees country grouping maintained for all employees is 40 (India), As per project requirement we need to pull country specific screens for employee in portal depending upon the personnel area of logged in employee..
We need to pull the respective countries page based on the personal area of employee.
for e.g
If employee belong to per area   A   then he should get the US specific Adddress application
If employee belong to per area   B then he should get the India specific Adddress application
If employee belong to per area   C then he should get the IGermany specific Adddress application etc
Is there any configuration / way to achieve this functionality on portal
Reagrds
Rajendra

Hi Rajendra,
There is something called Internationalization of WebDynpro Iview. Refer this concept. When you will implement and import those packages in program at that time either languages will change automatically location based or u can put if() condition to make the things workable. But more important things will start supporting your IViews.

The number of countries you implement definitely impacts ESS fairly heavily. Certain ESS applications are country specific, such as the personal data editing, so the more countries you have, the more involved your ESS implementation will be. A simple example I just encountered at our client is for benefits enrollment in the US you can choose your smoker status (smoker, non-smoker). The default canada screen from SAP did not have the same field available, although it was needed for the customers benefit election process so they had to customize the canada screen. each process for each country would have to validated to your needs.
Than for MSS - everything is fairly global, one application from SAP. However, the proceses on your side may not be truly global.
Say for intance you go-live with Time approval for vacation and sick days. you may only have that live for US managers, and not for other countries. Than you need to decide if you will explicity hide the time application from non-us managers. and can you even hide, because what if you have non-us managers that may have US employees and non-us employees?
If you need to "separate" MSS functionality, based on what is live for certain countries, it will be custom development. This same questioning should be applied to each MSS process you consider going live with.
