ESS Timesheet Approval from ESS

Hi,
We have implemented ESS .We have created workflow for timesheet approval.
Whenever employee creates a timesheet request.The workitem sent to Manager to approve the timesheet records.But when Manager opens the workitem regarding timesheet approval through ESS ,he see all timesheet records of all employees who are reporting to him.
But when we open the same workitem through SBWP it shows onli leave records of the employee related with the workitem not all the reportees.We want same functionality through ESS UWL.
I have checked the configuration related with approval views.
"Define Profiles and Assign to Views" It seems fine.
Kindly suggest for the same.
Regards,
Kalpesh

  • Throw a custom error message while doing CATS timesheet approval

    Hi,
    We are going to implement CATS Timesheet approval using ESS / MSS portal.
    Requirement is NOT to allow an approver to approve / reject a timesheet workitem in MSS duing payroll block period ( e.g last week of a month). we need to throw an error message saying 'No approval of timesheet is allowed during payroll block period'.
    Will SAP enhancement CATS0006 (EXIT_SAPLCATS_006) be useful for this?
    Any other customer exit / Badi will help.
    Regards,
    Bijay

    Hi,
    yes you can use the mentioned CATS enhancement to throw the error message.

  • Working of Individual Timesheet approval view  in MSS

    can any one tell what happens(how it works) when a manager selects "Reject " from drop down and press the transfer button in Individual timesheet approval view.
    problem is : i have sorted the data based on A/A type Text. suppose that the data before sorting is 4,1,4 after sorting the data is 4,4,1.  when i select reject for first two entries 4,4(sorted data) and press transfer it will go to collective approval view. then choose review. in this screen it showing the rejected times as 4,1(which is the previous data) rather than 4,4.
    the summary is it is taking only previous data eventhough we have sorted it.
    any help will be greatly appreciated.

    You can select individually and those records which are selected as rejected will be rejected in the final screen
    In individual approval you set the status approve, resubmit or reject! These are different statuses we need to use

  • Project Server No project update after timesheet approval

    Hi,
    I work with Project Server 2013, I can create and schedule projects, assign ressources, fill
    in the timesheet and save it for approval.
    I'm using the
    Single Entry Mode 
    When ressources update theire TimeSheet (approved) and I check my project in project web access, I do not see any progress (0% completed)
    Does someone know why my project is not updated?
    Thanks

    Hi Slim,
    Note that once the timesheet with SEM activated is submitted, there are 2 approvals: from the status manager (project plan owner) and from the timesheet manager of the resource. The project plan will be updated once the status manager approved the task update
    AND published the project plan.
    Thus you have to check that the status manager (and not only the timesheet manager) correctly approved the update and also that he published the project plan for MS Project Pro (or eventually from PWA).
    If it is still not working, you could check the PWA queue for potential error messages related to the task update approval and/or project publish job.
    Please tell us if it helps.
    Hope this helps,

  • Timesheet approval in Background

    Hi All,
      Actaully I am looking for any Task or Functions which can be used to update the timesheet record as apporved or rejected according to the desicion by the Approver.
    Because the standard task of SAP calls the Transaction CATSWF , which will be online approval, which I don't want to call, instead, once if approved from our standard workflow descision task, I need to update that Time sheet record as approved and rejected also in the same way instead of calling the standard transaction or task.
    Regards,
    Sabari Prabhu.

    Hi,

  • How to retrieve Timesheet Approver by query

    Hi,
    I'm retrieving timesheet manager name from ResourceTimesheetManagerUID field in MSP_EpmResource_UserView view. But, If a user change timesheet manager while submitting time sheet I'm unable to access it.  I tried searching in reporting DB
    documentation but did not find anything over there. Can someone let me know the field where this info is stored?
    Thanks
    Indu

    Hi Indu,
    I ran some tests and I can see that the LastStatusChangeResourceNameUID column is not populated. According to the documentation this shold have been populated with:
    GUID of the resource who last changed the timesheet status.
    So this should have been the timesheet manager (or whoever approved/rejected/amended the timesheet)
    I can see that someone raised a similar question for the 2010 version:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/35844049-a970-4b7f-bfe7-c0565e397acc/query-to-find-historical-timesheet-approver-in-project-server-2010?forum=project2010custprog
    I would suggest you take that with Microsoft. Unless, you want to adventure yourself and look into the published schema, MSP_Timesheet_Actions table. However, please note that querying directly the pub/draft/ver schemas is not supported
    Hope this helps

  • Required Parallel Approval from OTL Timekeeper Entry Form

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to perform parallel approval from OTL timekeeper entry form? it is using the following workflow OTL Seeded Approval Workflow HXCSAW(i think) if it is using this workflow can we change this workflow or need to write a new workflow for above mentioned requirement.
    Please share you experiences , its urgent
    Regards,
    Ssali

    Hi,
    HXCSAW is a custom workflow which do nothing accept approving and that can be change as per customer requirement. This child workflow called by parent workflow process HXCEMP. If u going to change the HXCSAW then u also need to change the seeded package associated with this workflow to embed your logic.
    We have done it through SSHR timesheet entry page, no idea if OTL timekeeper entry form carries approval or not.
    Whts the nature of ur parallel approval ? and how u can able to manage if via workflow ?

  • How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are working on it?

    How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are even working on it? I'm not really sure if my application was even delivered - from the links in IBA. Any suggestions how one might push the right buttons at Apple?
    Also went around in a big circle trying to get beyond the confusion of not having the right Apple ID when I've had it a long time. Confusion abounds and learning this forum also takes a new degree of patience. Humbling to say the least :-)
    Anyone been there done that?

  • Fiori Timesheet Approval

    Hi Friends,
    In timesheet approval app, is there a possibility where manager can reject timesheet in one go for the entire week, rather than clicking on each line item for rejection.
    In one of the project, where business enters time to multiple items according to projects which they are working and the current process followed here is to reject the complete timesheet of entire week, rather than respective day or line item.
    Right now, we need to click on individual line for rejection and which client doesn't want and they wanted one time rejection for entire week.
    Is it possible to customize the approval screen.
    Please advice.
    Srikanth
    Tags edited by: Michael Appleby

    Hi Srikanth,
    As per the current design the default is approve and for Rejection you need to click on the entry which you have to reject and select a rejection reason. This was done for faster approvals since rejections is not the most common scenario.
    we are in process of coming up with a  new design for partially selecting some entries for Rejecetion.
    For the time being the only work around would be to create a new view to replace the current view using the extensibility concept.
    Best Regards

  • Timesheet Approval Configuration - Fixed Approval Routing

    Hello,
    Currently our timesheet configuration is through chain approvals. Team member submits to their manager, manager does approval and sends to me (timesheet manager). I have Fixed Approval Routing unchecked, as I would like for the Manager to be able to select
    me as manager to approve. However, after unchecking Fixed Approval Routing, it doesn't seem to pop up for managers to select me as the timesheet manager. They just get the dialogue box to click OK when approving. Is there a configuration I'm missing? I tried
    this for every manager by delegating and it seems it just goes directly to their timesheet manager without having a message to send to. Previously, it would work fine, but after a few configuration tweaks it stopped popping up to select timesheet manager. 
    Johnny Eltawn, Project Server Admin

    For Project Server 2013, Try following:
    Add yourself in the "Timesheet Managers" list, which can be set under "Server Settings" -> "Timesheet
    Managers"
    Update Team member and make yourself as "Timesheet
    Manager"
    thru "Manage User" or thru "Resource Centre."
    Update following setting on "Server
    Settings" page, in the "Time and Task Management"
    section, click "Timesheet Settings and Defaults"
    Select the "Fixed Approval Routing" check box.
    Under "Task Status Manager Approval", choose "Enabled" if you want managers to be able to approve individual
    timesheet lines. You can also choose to "require line approval before timesheet approval."
    Hope this will help you.

  • TimeSheet Approval Process workflow

    Hi All,
    Please let me know how time sheet standard behavior of approval workflow.
    I ran the timesheet approval process, I found in the event trace, the following business objects are showing for the process.
    When employee requests for a timesheet approval, there is no workflow triggered ( no receiver in the SWEL), it is showing BO IDOCPACKET and event MASSINPUTFINISHED and when approval approves the request it is triggered the workflow (receiver is WORKITEM) single step type.
    Please clarify me on
    1. Why IDOCPACKET is triggered?
    2. Why ATTENDENCE is triggered?
    3. whenever a time sheet request is created by user, approver will get notifications, where these configurations have been maintained?
    4. When approver approves/rejects the request, initiator will get the notifications, where these configurations have been maintained?
    Thank You in advance.
    Regards,
    Pavan.

    1 and 2) Are you sure that IDOCPACKET and ATTENDENCE have anything to do with CATS? I don't believe so. The time stamps of these events most probably don't event match with your CATS release and/or approval.
    If you need to set up some kind of approval process workflow, if I remember correctly it is configured here: SPRO > Cross Application Components > Time Sheet > Specific setting for CATS Regular > CATS Regular > Set up data entry profile.

    Karri
