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.
Thanks and Regards

ESS workflow customization

One small info required generally about these ESS workflows.
Are the ESS workflow templates different from the standard R/3 workflow given for HR module. Does the transaction data store temporarliy in some tables especially maintained for ESS before getting stored in R/3 standard HR tables.
If we create a event in a BOR object how can we trigger it from any standard transactions, is there any fm we can include in the sourcecode to trigger event so as to invoke workflows dependent on event.
Please do help me.

Could you please help on the second part of the question of ---how to trigger event if we create a new event in the BOR object. how muhc work is involved.

ESS Workflow 10000015 Approve request for changing address thru Portal ESS

Hi Experts,
We want to implement ESS workflow 01000015 u201Cchange (infotype 0006) Address will be blocking until approved/rejected by Administratoru201D. The workflow is trigger OK from R3, user creates a new address and IT0006 is blocking till administrator approve or reject.
What we want now is to trigger this workflow from Portal, but here is the problem:
1.- I do not see any option (button) for creating a new address from Portal iView, what else is missing??? I believe creating new address from Portal could trigger this workflow, but I am not sureu2026
2.- If the first option does not work I would like to trigger this workflow by the event u201CChangeu201D, so I need to edit the address. From R3 is blocking IT0006 OK, but from portal is not blocking the address at allu2026 What else is missing??? I do not know if this could be an issue from R3 or Portalu2026.
We already check u201CNote 495971 - Workflow 01000015 is not triggered when changing addressu201D and workflow is working ok only from R3.
Regardsu2026..

Hi Swamy,
I am a little confused of you requirement. The scenario here is that Person A (Any person using ESS) must not change any of his/her own personal data until Person B Approve/Reject the new Data. For example: if a user A want to change his/her address, personal data etc. must be approve or reject for another person B. This is a validation that most of the companies want to have in order to validate this information. Employees may change their personal data, but how HR area validates if this new information is real or not... One way to verify this new information is a validation for a Person B who will be to approve or reject this information. Now if you do not have this scenario I believe you will not have to do this implementation class because ESS do not have this scenario. The standard ESS functionality is available for change any data without validation and this should be working right now on your Enterprise Portal.
If you want to have a validation for a third User, Person B, you may check these points:
1. Edit 2. New Permanent address
Edit - Will change the record irrespective of dates. This will modify the current record which is valid as of today.
New Permanent address - This will create a new record effective today and previous record will be delimited.
If I use lock functionality in Edit scenario, then in the portal it will dispaly previous record which is not the correct data.
For 2nd case, this will insert the new record, so Lock may work in this case. I will check this.
I believe you will work most of the time with "Edit" button. If Person A edit address, the new register will be created and locked in PA30 Infotype 6 until person B Approve/Reject. How Person B knows if someone has edit his/her address?? You may achieve this using Universal Work List and notification. You may have to create a task for person B with email notification, so person B will be enter into Portal and check his/her new task from the UWL. This task will be ITS UI front end and from here person B decide if approve or reject. If Person B approve, the new register will be unlocked and replace the last one (Also in Portal). If person B reject, the register blocked will be gone and the last one remains.
This should work for any infotype . Check only the type of event generated for any of them in order to trigger the workflow.
Do you have any idea how to achieve this for Personal details where the Lock/Unlock functionality is not available.
Standard ESS works without any lock/unlock functionality. remove the current workflow if you have used any.

Clarification required on the Sales area data information.

Hi Master's,
As per the standard taxation practice,Tax determination depends upon the Tax liability of a Shipt to Party.
But in a Customer master The Tax classification is maintained in the SALES AREA DATA-BILLING TAB,To my understanding
the Billing Tab data comes from Sold to party.If so how does Billing tab convey the Tax liability of Ship to party.
I am Confused,please let me know in terms of Customer master and Partner types:
1) Which Tabs under the sales data i.e Shipping Billing...come from which Partner.i.e like Sold to party.
(Clarification required on the Sales area data information coming from which Partner functions).
Please suggest,
Thanks

(Clarification required on the Sales area data information coming from which Partner functions).
There is no need of any confusion here
All the tabs and data or fields pertains sold to party only
If for a sold to party say 1001 if he himself is going to be SH and PY and BP then there is no confusion
If for a sold to party say 1001 the ship to party is 1002 and PY is 1003 and bill to party is himself that is 1001
This is what mentioned or assigned in the partner functions of CMR of 1001 in the sales area data
This means there are another CMR lies in the name of 1002 and 1003
Whenever an order comes for 1001 as Sold to party for tax classifications the ship to paty 1002's master record is accessed by the system
System accesses another record for a particular detail (tax details)
Similarly for this customer 1001's order for payment terms 1003's CMR is accessed by the system
System accesses another record for a particular detail ( for terms of payment)
There is no need for any confusion and if you run this in the system with different data you will understand it much better

Implementing ESS Workflow

Hi Friends,
I am new to HR. I want to try implementing ESS. I am quite comfortable with all the activities it takes to implement ESS except for Workflows.Is there any documents available providing a sort of walkthrough of how to implement ESS workflow from Portal(UWL)?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nathan.

Hi Nathan,
Which Wofkflow you are looking for? There are some standard WF's (Leave) already in the system...From your Portal Content Directory you can find these Iviews under migrated content -> EP version -> Iviews -> ESS :working time -> Leave request...
And from the iview properties, you can find the workitem
WS200000081 name..You execute this Woritem in SWDD trnx...
Later you copy the workitem and the iview and do necessary modifications.
Hope it helps .

ESS workflow issue

Dear friends
We have different services in ESS like leaves, claims and advances etc in ESS, the requirement is the user while applying for leave loan or claims, he should be able to select the approver to trigger the workflow
Eg. Employee 1 wants to apply for the leave, after entering the data in the fields, the user has to select the approver in the same screen from the dropdown (say employee 10) and send , so that the workflow triggers to employee10
Please suggest whether we can built the system in such a way, if so how
Thank you
Kiran

he can search any approver in the F4 search and assign
PT_ARQ_SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR
Method               SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR
CL_PT_REQ_SEARCH_NEXT_P
       Methods
           SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR
the check is done here
we can change it in the badi
Please check the BADI PT_GEN_REQ for more information

PO Approval workflow Acceptance Required issue

When PO_headers_all.acceptance_required_flag = 'Y', expected behaviour of PO Approval workflow is to send Action Required
email to supplier. But for some POs even PO_headers_all.acceptance_required_flag = 'Y', PO approval workflow is sending FYI emails to supplier, instead of action required email should goto supplier.
I have verifed the supplier responsibility who is receiving FYI email, supplier got responsibility to acknowledge PO ( based on POS_ACK_ORDER function assigned to supplier responsibility ) .
Could any one suggest me, how and where to fix this issue ? How will I know what is the cause of supplier receiving FYI email instead of Action required email ?
Thanks,
Sunitha

Workflow report required

Dear
I have one problem in ESS.Actually my client wants a report related to the leaves applied through ESS. In that report they want the leave request date, start date and end date of the leaves applied and the type of the leave, with the employee name and number who initiates the workflow. Is their any standard report from which we can take the data?
In which standard table all these entries stored?
Waiting for your possitive response...
Thanks & Best Regards
Sheetal Gupta

Hi Sheetal,
This is already avaliable under Show overview of leave in Working Time->Leave request. You can also get these details from PTARQ (transaction), display documents . Also the tables are PTREQ_HEADER , PTREQ_ATTABSDATA,PTREQ_ITEMS

Calling portal screen from workflow and required two level approvals to approve in portal

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement that, I would trigger a process order approval workflow from SRM SUS portal. Agent when he clicks the link in the attached mail, it has to take him to the portal screen to approve and it has to go to next level manager for the approval. Once both the managers approves, the approved quantity should be reflected in the SRM SUS portal for the order.
I have good experience in SAP WORKFLOWS in ECC. However; I have never worked on workflows through webdynpro and never worked on SRM portals as well.
Please help me in completing this scenario. I have found the proper button in the portal to trigger the workflow. Please guide me the best approach to design and how should I pass webdynpro application link to agent mail with the parameter Order. and how can i bring the control back to my workflow.
Please help me in
Thanks in advance. Points will be rewarded.

ESS transport - help required

Hi All,
I need a sugession from u folks, for my below doubt.
We have 4 j2ee servers.
1. JDI
2. EP development
3. EP Quality
4. EP Production
We have deployed ESS Webdynpro applications in all 3 (EP development, quality and production) and running good.
Now, we have a requirement to modify one of the standard application (Personal data). So, i will have to setup tracks and import required ESS applications into track and modify it. Up to here its pretty clear.
My question is, when i modify the application and transport it to EP development system (there is already an application running in EP development) will this overwrite the application running in EP development or will it be a mess?
Pl note that, since there were no modification request came we have deployed ESS applications in all there (EP dev, quality and production) instances and now we are modifying and transporting it thru JDI.
Will the transport go smoothly or should i have to undeploy all the applications (ESS) from (EP dev, quality and production) and transport it via JDI.
What is advisable in this case?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Karthik

Thank you, Sidharth,
It's prety clear now. I have forgot to ask one more question. After modifying the applications and releasing the changes, do we need to assemble only the request or do we need to assemble all the components, that is in the track (SAP_JEE, SAP_JTECHS, SAP_BUILDT, SAP_PCUIGP, SAP_ESS) along with the request.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
