ESS portal- Time Entry

HI Experts,
I have to do some validation by restricting the user not to change the Time Entries more that 6 pay period in the past. I ahve a user Exit
CATS0003 where i think i can do that by putting some validation on the Date selected by user for the changes.
My question is if i implement this User exit ..will it be appleid to Portal Also .
Regards
Shekhar

This exit is valid both for CAT2 and CATS WD ie portal
something like this
FORM fc_next.
DATA: umesg LIKE mesg.
DATA: ucheck_call_mode(1) TYPE c VALUE '1'.
DATA: ucall_mode(1) TYPE c VALUE space.
DATA: simulate TYPE c.
right border reached?
IF catsfields-dateto GE catsfields-dateright.
MESSAGE i044.
for specific dates code the exit
dateright = sy-datum + 42.
dateleft = sy-datum - 28.
IF fields-workdate LE dateleft.
i_messages-msgty = 'E'.
i_messages-msgid = 'LR'.
i_messages-msgno = '044'.
APPEND i_messages.
ENDIF.
IF fields-workdate GE dateright.
i_messages-msgty = 'E'.
i_messages-msgid = 'LR'.
i_messages-msgno = '044'.
APPEND i_messages.
ENDIF.

SiteVisit/Information Request for Customizing Time Entry/Approval on ESS

Our organization is considering adding Time Entry & Time Approval to our Employee Self Service. The portal was just upgraded from EP6 to BW7.0 (our system is ECC 6.0). We currently use ESS for employee paystubs, benefits enrollment, membership campaigns, updating master data (address, bank information) and more.
We are looking for a Public Sector organization that has done Time Entry on ESS that would be interested in allowing us to do a site visit to gather information, ask questions and see your system. Please contact me if you are interested.
Also, even if you are not public sector, I am interested in any information about the ability to customize this functionality. We have the timesheet option up and running in ESS (in test) and I can enter time and it shows up in CAPS, but it needs to be customized to meet our needs. If you have done customization, I would love to see what your timesheets look like.
Most importantly we are looking for a site visit to gather information, but also any information about customizing the ESS timesheet would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my request.

I did not have any responses, but we no longer have the need. Thanks.

Multiple time entry profile in ESS

Hi ,
We are implementing ESS on ECC6.0 and EP7.0.
In R/3 side we have multiple time sheet entry profiles, how can we implement the time sheet entry scenario in portal which allows multiple entry profiles because as per my understanding ESS user in portal would only be having ESS profile assigned to them.
Please let me know if we can have multimple profile implemented in portal.
Thanks
Ankur

In the old versions of the ESS business package (ITS based), we had the flexibilty to use more than one Time Entry profiles.
AFAIK, you might not be able to use more than one Time Entry Profile with the new versions of ESS BP (Webdynpro based). The application picks up the "CVR" parameter of the user. (Default profile is SAP).
Thanks,
Raj

Hiding custom column in Weekly view of the Time Entry in ESS

We have added a custom field to time entry (CAT2). This field is displaying in both (weekly and daily) view of the time entry screen in ESS. Our requirement is too display the field only in daily view.
Is there a way to hide the custom column in the weekly view of the time sheet in ESS?
Thank you,
Rohit

well it would require modification to the iview , it wont be a easy quickfix cause you lauch the iview it is built using CAC2 field customisation
you can explore Personalisation for the daily view hope it can work!

Unable to access the Time Statements in ESS Portal

The user is getting a critical error(com.sap.pcuigp.xssfpm.java.FPMRuntimeException) when trying to access his time statements from ESS portal. The user recently moved to a different country and trying to access statement there. Are there any country specific paramaters that are needed to be changed or set when a employee is reallocated?
Please help me.

Hi Rafi,
We are also facing similar kind of issue.
When i select type of leave as annual it is giving an error message as
" Parameter missing in call of method BUILD_ACTOR_SELECT_CLAUSE in class CA_PT_REQ_ACTOR "
But when i select some other leave type and click review it is working fine, again if i click on previous step and change the leave type to annual it is working fine without giving any error message.
Please let us know how you have solved your issue?
Thanks.

Hide the start time and end time in ESS portal

Experts,
We have a requirement to hide the Start time and End time on the header section of the travel request / expense sheet in the ESS portal. I have searched through the configuration and found several place to hide the start time and end time of segment yet these have no impact on the porta start and end time fields.
Please Advise.
Best Regards,
Martin Weakley

Hi Martin,
you can achieve this with administrative personalisation. In portal content navigate to the role where you deltalinked your iView, click "preview". When a new Window for the preview is opened, notice the URL contains "&sap-config-mode=true". Now right click on the fields you want to hide and choose "enter configuration" (or the like, wording is not exact) from the context menue. The WD-UI-Element tree opens where you can directly hide/customize properties of the WD. When clicking save+exist you can also transport the alterations you did.
maybe this helps or gives you a helpful alternative to the already stated measures in this thread
regards, Lukas

ESS Record Working Time .. Restrict Time Entry with Relative limit

Hi SDN Users,
We are using ERP 2005 and EP 7.0 with webdynpro java ESS applications for Time, Travel and Personal Information.
In the ESS Record Working Time application, a user can scroll to any date he wants in the past or in the future and record/edit working times. The application does not take into consideration the setting made in the time entry profile for relative limit.
Please suggest the best way I can include this in the webdynpro application for Record Working Time. (in other words I would like to restrict the users to NOT be able to scroll before and later than 1 week from the current week).
Can this be achieved by modifying any ABAP program / BADI / User Exit (OR)
Would this require Webdynpro Code changes ?
Please suggest some changes if any one has gone through a similar requirement.
Thank You,
Salome

Hello Salome ,
You can use the following way out for this :
Lets say you want to allow one week before Begda , rest entries not allowed .
1. VcCatRecordentry View - make a method called dateValid(); this would return true / flase
we can get begda and endda.
wdcontext.currentcontextelement.gettimesheetBegda();
wdcontext.currentcontextelement.gettimesheetendda();
Date sysDate = new Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis());
int sysDay = sysDate.getDay();
2. Instantiate the Calendar Calendar c1 = new GregorianCalendar();
3. c1.add(c1.DATE,-7);
Date dt_end = c1.getTime();
now compare the dt_end to begda if it return >0
then in on action navigation nxt - report exception
this would work , since I did the same and it worked absolutely well for me .

Integration of ESS Portal and SAP

Hi,
Project Systems report RPSISKB000 - Capacity Requirements Overview (t-code CN50N) is a report works correctly when analyzing time that was entered via the R/3 GUI in transaction CAT2 u2013 Time Sheet: Maintain Times. However, when executing against time entered via Employee Self Service (ESS) Time Sheet Entry, the u201CActual Worku201D hours are not pulling through to the report.
I believe this is because when time is entered via ESS Time Sheet Entry the fields Capacity ID (KAPID) and Split Number (SPLIT) in table CATSDB are not populated. These two fields are populated when time is entered via the R/3 GUI in transaction CAT2.
I need how to populate these two fields when time is entered via ESS. How data flows from ESS Portal to SAP.
How SAP and ESS Portal integrated for data flow in between.
Thanks,
Suresh

You have to ensure that these fields in The CATS profile are set as input in CAC2 ie fields should be input and not is display
Please check it

CATS Screen dumps when navigating between prev and foll weeks in ESS portal

The medical leave absence type MEDICAL LEAVE @1/2 PAY(13) is the only allowed by time administrators to enter through transaction CAT2 and not through ESS. Once entered,this appears in your time entry in ESS as a disabled entry. However once you navigate between the previous or the following weeks, after this entry appears in your screen, the screen dumps.
SAP allows this functionality where time entries can be maintained for an employee through CAT2 on ERP side with an absence type not available in ESS portal.
The following is the dump analysis from ST22.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below. |
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS', was not
caught in
procedure "PROCESS_TIMESHEET" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
In the running program "CL_XSS_CAT_RFC_COMMAND_TOOLS==CP", part of a string was
about to be accessed
with an explicitly specified length.
However, this length (4) exceeded the current length of the string
(3).
| This kind of access is illegal.
Kindly suggest.

The latest note released by SAP to solve this issue is 1559416 CATS WD: Dump if Attendance/Absence type is deactivated .It works !

ESS PORTAL PROBLEM

Hi,
Two queries in ESS portal :
1. In Field control for additional receipt information there is no time option. In one of expense type we need the time field also along with dates and description. Please suggest to add the same.
2. Earlier the system use to through error message with maximum rates while pressing the Check button, if the user puts rate beyond maximum limit. But after upgrade to EHP4 system is showing a Java exception without saving data. Please suggest to get the error messages instead of Java exception.
Regards
Prakash.

Please check the customizing table V_T7XSSSERRES (Define Resources), and the resource for the Web Dynpro application "My trips and Expenses" If the field "Window Name" is empty,then this will be problematic.
So, you have to go to the view V_T7XSSSERRES and maintain for the resource
EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_EXPENSES_SRV_12 the URL parameter sap.xss.tra.TripSchema=01   or whichever number your schema has!
You can also check this via IMG

Differnec in front end and back end of ESS record time from ABAP point

HI Expert,
Here I need information regarding employee working time.
Quary is we are trying to restricts the records entered in time sheet through user exit CATS0006.
Here in CATS0006 one table is there CHECK_TABLE.
when I am executing time sheet from back end(t code CAT2) the table Check_table is having forward and backword 6 weeks data from the key date and date_from and date_to fields have correct value for week start and end.So that I am able to validate records.
But when I am executing from ESS>Working time>Record working time and set an external debugger on CATS0006 I got that at this time CHECK_TABLE has only edited entry and date_from and date_to field value are also not correct one.
Please suggest what may the cause of problem ,is it the case with your system as well?
Is it a problem with SAP standard code?

Hi,
What password are you talking about, the one created with the workgroup manager? That will be difficult since 2010 doesn't have the workgroup manager anymore. You can still use the database in the 2010 environment but you can't make any changes to the original
database without the password.
