ESS Timecorrection Workflow WS121300111

Hello
I want to use a WF for the ESS scenario Timecorrection (clock-in clock-out). The standard WF 12300111, which is recommended by SAP, works for the scenario Leave Request. If I use it for Timecorrection, it shows Workitems in the UWL with Leave Request texts. Clicking on the workitem leads you back to Leave Request and not to Timecorrection.
SAP says, I shall use 12300111 as example an build my own WF. What do I have to do? I'm not a WF expert.
Thanks for help
Joachim

Hello Joachim,
first and foremost SAP hasnt delivered a Approval Application like the leave request approver, for the clockin-/out scenario. If you plan to use it anyway you have to either develop your very own Approval application or you have to use a generic decision task in your workflow as approval step.
In order to alter the standard leave request workflow (WF 12300111) you first have to copy it and replace the dialog task with a custom task. For this custom task you can easy alter the text.
I hope this helps a bit
regards,
Markus

Ess/Leave Workflow Still In Process(In a specific snario when Escalated )

Hi Guru's,
I have a problem with Ess/Leave workflow.
when the leave is applied from the portal which is triggering workflow and reching to the right agent and when the leave is withdrawn , then which is completing the workflow which is fine.
Recently i have added Escalation functionality using deadline monitoring which is working fine.
But when the leave request is escalated and withdrawn from the initiator is not changing the status of the workflow to be completed and still continuing in the Still In Process.
To complete the workflow ,there is an wait event after the approval process which is waiting for the status change for posted or withdrawn or error and working fine when the work item stayed with the direct manager and no escallation is happend.
When Escalation happend and the leave is withdrawn the status is changing in the workflow container to withdrawn but the event is not firing in the wokflow which needs to be triggered to complete the workflow which is not happening and the work item keeps on escalating to the other managers.
Please help me ASAP and let me know if anybody not clear about anything.
Regards,
Raj.

Helo Every one,
thanks for your inputs,
I m not sure that wether i explained properly or not.But i will try to explain more elobrately.
My leave request workflow is Zworkflow which is working fine in the production.Recently in the last month business request for escalation of leave request when direct manager not approved with in the time frame.
So i added latest end to the Approve task which uses the ABAP class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS and Method Dummy.
So the task has 3 outcomes one is deadline reached,process obsolete and processed. and after that i added a loop which will create new work item when escalated.
When i apply a leave on the portal the workflow is triggering and stopping in the Approve step in the log which is fine and when i with withdrawn the leave without any escallation it is taking one of the brach Processed which i mentioned above and reaching to the event and completing the workflow which is 100%.
When the direct manager doe'nt approve then it is escallating to the next level manager which is fine.Once the escallation happen and the leave is withdrawn by the Employee(Initiator) then it is not taking any of the 3 paths which i mentioned above and not reacting at all.But the status in the workflow container REQ.STATUS is changing to "WITHDRAWN".
The same thing is happening for the APPROVE once escallation happens.It keeps on escallating even the leave is approved and posted in the database.
Please reply me if you are not clear.
Thanks,
Raja.

Hi Expert,
Can somebody tell me what is the correlation between ESS dan workflow, does ESS has the same exact effect as the GUI?

Customize ESS LR Workflow

Hi,
I have to customize the ESS Leave request workflow process.
For this I have copied the standard workflow WS12300111 to 95000002 and done all the config related changes in PTARQ. The new workflow is working fine and Leaves can be Applied as reqd.
Help Needed :
1). I need to do the following check. If a Manager applies for a leave for his/her employee, the LR workflow should not follow the Normal approval process. It should be completed sending a mail to the employee. How can I do this ?
2). How can I add my Custom Notification messages for all cases in this workflow. This is a OO workflow and I am new to this. Kindly help.
3). I came to know that there are a number of Reports which needs to be scheduled in background for this workflow like : RPTARQEMAIL, RPTARQPOST, RSWWCOND, etc.
Can I get a COMPELTE list of these reports which needs to be scheduled and the standard Freequency/Interval in which these needs to be shceduled please.
Thanks a LOT for help in advance. I need this info ASAP as our build phase is going to be complete on this week.
Thanks again.

As, per my understanding it is not required to code anything.
Coming about the first point: If you have noticed in the workflow, there is a container element &REQ.APPROVAL& which chooses if the request need to be sent for approval or not. Find what value is getting binded to this container element & if it is not equal to 'X' it will not be sent for approval.
Second point: You can use deadline monitoring at Approval Process activity, In the "LatestEnd" provide from time of the Workitem creation to 28 days & used action as Modeled. From the outcome of the step, use a process control activity to Complete the Workflow.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sudhir.

Need Help : ESS LR Workflow WS12300111

Hi ,
I want help related to ESS Leave Request workflow WS12300111.
1). In our case, a Manager can also raise a Leave for an Employee (in MSS -> My Team Details -> Create Leave for Employee). I need to identify in the workflow that whether the employee has applied for the Leave or the manager has applied on behalf of the employee. If the employee is raising the leave the workflow should follow normal approval process. If manager applies for employee, NO Approval should be required and the Leave should get posted.
Query : Do I need to add a new step in the standard workflow for this ?? Hoe can I identify when a manager is creating leave for employee and when an actual employee is creating leave for his own ?
2). In our case, If the Manager donu2019t approve the Leave for 28 days, the workflow should get completed after sending a mail to the employee for raising a new request.
Query : Do I need to add a new step in the standard workflow for this u2013 as a modelled deadline ??
Do I need to write ANY code for these two things ? If so where can I write code ? Do I need to create a new CLASS or Write code in the BADI CL_PT_ARQ_REQ ??

As, per my understanding it is not required to code anything.
Coming about the first point: If you have noticed in the workflow, there is a container element &REQ.APPROVAL& which chooses if the request need to be sent for approval or not. Find what value is getting binded to this container element & if it is not equal to 'X' it will not be sent for approval.

ESS Approver workflow

Hi ESS Gurus,
I have a requirement in ESS Workflow approval process. When the approver was on leave, is there any option of choosing another approver of employee's choice in standard ITS system for the version 4.7. Do we have any SAP standard functionality for this requirement. or else only by customization?
Regards,
Narendra.

Hi,
Go to table : V_PTARQ_TPROCESS

How to send mail to portal inbox and user email id in ESS leave workflow ?

Hi

in workflow level - i have used 'sendmail' step and given agent as initiator . now mail is going to sap inbox .
can you please guide me (step by step if Posiible) how should i do it.
Regards,
Sreeharsha.
Points will be rewarded.

mail has to send to user's portal inbox and email id assigned to user
Not sure if you want a email or SAP mail. Can you clarify the above statement?
If you want to send a notification mail which needs to be displayed in UWL
Search for keyword SONIC in this forum and blogs section. You will get the solution
If you want to send a notification email to the email id of the user
You need to determine the email id of the user and use the sendmail step to send email (your SCOT settings need to be condigured by your BASIS team)

ESS Appraisal Workflow

Hi all,
quick question here. Currently, we are using appraisals (BSP) in ESS. I just wanted to check on the workflow that it is using between apraisee and apraiser. Is there a standard one? I need to troubleshoot.

ESS, Leave Workflow

Hi All,
     We are on ECC6.0, implementing leave workflow with multi level approver (WS12300111). We are using two custom rules to find out the 1st and 2nd level approver. The workitem is going to the UWLs of the correct agents, no problem.
     There is one Approver field on the Leave request form. SAP is pre-populating the field (I think using the standard rule AC00000157, not sure where exactly). Only that agent can see the leave request, whose name is coming to that field. Any other agent is unable to see the leave request even though he receives the workitem.
     I think some configuration needs to be changed, so that any approver can see the leave request and approve. Can anybody please help?
Thanks and Regards,
Abir Kundu

Hi Sagar,
Thanks for your reply. Yes I've noticed that you can disable the Approver field and even you can change way how the next processor would be selected by customizing.
I'll test it today and let you know.

Abir.

ESS leave request two-level workflow

Hi All,
We have a requirement for a two-level ESS leave workflow and need to know what would be the approach which can be taken to modify the standard 12300111 workflow.
The status should be as follows
STATUS                                                STATUS                                                  STATUS
(SENT)                      Approves              (PENDING)                 Approves                (APPROVED)
First Level approver -
>   Second level approver -
>
As we can see, we need to add a new status namely, PENDING to the backend PTREQ tables. Can anyone please provide some kind of leads/info on this.
Thanks and Regards
Reshma

Hi,
You can take a copy of that standard workflow 12300111 and build your logic accordingly.and give that workflow number in SPRO settings.

ESS Leave Request - Set Workflow status to Completed

Hi,
We are on ECC 5.0 and we are using ESS to process Leave Requests. We have a custom Workflow based on the standard Workflow template WS12300111 for approval of Leave Requests.
Whenever an employee creates a Leave Request via ESS the Workflow is started. When the employee deletes the request the Workflow has to be stopped/completed. For this we have put a Wait for Event step in a parallel branch to the Approval Process. In the Wait for Event step we wait till a condition ( Request.status = DELETED ) is met.
But when an employee deletes a Leave Request the request is deleted from the list but it gives a message as "Specify a class name".
Can anybody please help us on this( how to complete the workflow whenever the Request is deleted ) and let us know what is the procedure to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Immanuel

Hi Prashanth
Thanks for your quick reply. But that would not solve my problem. My Workflow looks something like this
                           WF-started by entries in configuration tables
                         Some activity in background
                     A fork with 2 parallel processes
                    Approval     Wait for an exception condition using Wait for event step
                      process          (wait till an attribute of a object has a specific value)
                          Workflow completed
The wait step waits for the status of the object to change to DELETED. The Workflow should get completed either if the Approval process is over or the condition specified in the Wait step is satisfied.
But in the case of ESS Leave Request this doesn't work. Is there anything that we need to do to set the status of the Workflow to Completed if the Leave Request is deleted.
Thanks
Immanuel
