Exclude Weekends and Holidays while applying for leave...

Hi,
Could anyone help me out in excluding holidays while applying for leave via absence management (employee self service) in R12? While clicking on calculate duration it includes weekends as well by default. Since updating the formula BG_ABSENCE_DURATION will involve creating UDTs, modify UDF and additional effort; I tried creating workschedulle and updated the profile HR: Schedule Based Absence Calculation to 'Yes' following the metalink note 'Schedule Based Absence Calculation in Self Service' [ID 437083.1] but no luck. Is there any other additional setup that needs to be done or its better to update Fast Formula. Kindly advise on the same. Thanks in Advance!!!
Thanks,
Ahmed

Thanks much Gaurav. I was able to work it out by creating work schedule itself. I reckon I missed out selecting the schedule pattern. We need to ensure that after creating schedule the pattern needs to be selected and launched. After a while it gets effected in the system. Just in case if others are trying to implement work schedule for working days between Saturday to Wednesday following are the step involved. I have created two schedule pattern with day start as 1 and day stop as 4; and another pattern with day start as 7 and day stop as 7. It works like charm....:)

Time between dates excluding Weekends and Holidays

I am fairly new to Power Pivot and I am having trouble with this formula. I need my Cycle Time Days column to capture the days between CreatedDataTime and ClosedDateTime excluding Weekends and Holidays. I have a tab that has the holidays but
I can't get the formula correctly?   Jill
CreatdDateTime        ClosedDateTime     Cycle Time Days
12/1/2014                    12/10/2014

first of all you need a separate time table which holds all possible dates for your model
there should be no gaps, it should contain full years and a column of datatype DateTime as unique key
once you have this in place add a calculated column to this table as
=IF(INT(FORMAT([Date], "w")) >= 6, "Weekend", "Workday")
then go back to your original table and add the following calculation for your [Cycle Time Days]-column:
=COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
'Dates',
Dates[Date] >= DateRanges[DateFrom]
&& Dates[Date] <= DateRanges[DateTo]
&& 'Dates'[IsWeekend] = "Workday"
Holidays are a bit more tricky but you can follow the same pattern but you need to get the holidays from somewhere

DATEADD excluding weekends and holidays

select getdate(),dateadd(day,15,Getdate())
THis gets me today and 15 days from now. However I need 15 business days. I need to exclude weekends and holidays in here so that is looks like this.
where fulldate between getdate() and dateadd(day,15,Getdate())
I have a dim table for dates and have an isholiday = 0 or 1. I just can't figure out how to include this in the DATEADD expression.

Working day formula that excludes weekends and holidays in WEBI

Hi Guys,
Can we calculate a working day formula that excludes weekends and holidays in WEBI OR in Universe?
The universe I am working on is using stored procedures, so there are no joins or modelling done. Although there is a workday stored proc that I can bring in the universe.
I am just thinking if there is no modelling or joins done in the universe how will this help me in webi?
Your suggestions will be very helpful.
Thanks,
Jitan

One more suggestion I need from you -
I have a Work_Calendar_VW that has the following columns -
Calendar_Date - 5/1/2014
Calendar_Year - 2014
Calendar_Month - 5
Calendar_Day - 1
Work_Day - 1
Day_Type - WD (Work Day) For Weekends this will be displayed as WE
The columns have all dates for current year in SQL Server.
I am going to pull this into the universe and create 2 derived tables to calculate MTD Day counts.
Derived Table 1 - Calculate Yest Work Day... this will remove all the weekends and holidays and give me the last working day. This includes couple of case statments to check each day if it's a working day or weekend.
For Work Day the above code will be 1 and for weekend 0
Derived Table 2 - This will give me the count of working days in current month using the above view and Derived table 1 Below is the code -
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM Work_Calendar_VW
WHERE [Work_Day] = 1 AND
(Calendar_Date BETWEEN CAST(CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),MONTH(LastWoringkday()),101) + '/01/'
+ CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),YEAR(LastWoringkday()),101) AS DATE)
AND LastWoringkday()).
I cannot do joins because this universe has been built using stored proc and would like to implement this in BO universe.
let me know if this is the right approach.
Thanks,
Jitan

Add working days to a date excluding weekends and holidays

Hi there,
I need to write a function that will take a specified date and number of days to add as input parameters, and return the working day based on the number of days to add parameter, excluding weekends and any holidays held in a holiday table.
Here is my function so far -
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f_add_work_days(pd_date IN DATE
,pn_add_days IN PLS_INTEGER) RETURN DATE IS
pd_in_date DATE := pd_date;
ld_next_holiday DATE;
ln_days_left PLS_INTEGER := pn_add_days;
CURSOR cu_holiday(pn_date IN ge740.holdte%TYPE) IS
SELECT pck_utility.f_dtcnv(g.holdte)
FROM ge740 g
WHERE g.holdte >= pn_date
AND g.maint <> 'D'
ORDER BY g.holdte ASC;
BEGIN
OPEN cu_holiday(pck_utility.f_dtcnv(pd_in_date));
FETCH cu_holiday
INTO ld_next_holiday;
CLOSE cu_holiday;
LOOP
IF ln_days_left = 0 THEN
EXIT;
END IF;
pd_in_date := pd_in_date + 1;
IF pd_in_date > ld_next_holiday THEN
OPEN cu_holiday(pck_utility.f_dtcnv(pd_in_date));
FETCH cu_holiday
INTO ld_next_holiday;
CLOSE cu_holiday;
END IF;
CASE
WHEN TO_CHAR(pd_in_date
,'fmDAY') = 'SATURDAY' THEN
pd_in_date := pd_in_date + 2;
ln_days_left := ln_days_left - 1;
WHEN TO_CHAR(pd_in_date
,'fmDAY') = 'SUNDAY' THEN
pd_in_date := pd_in_date + 1;
ln_days_left := ln_days_left - 1;
WHEN pd_in_date = ld_next_holiday THEN
pd_in_date := pd_in_date + 1;
ln_days_left := ln_days_left - 1;
ELSE
ln_days_left := ln_days_left - 1;
END CASE;
END LOOP;
RETURN(pd_in_date);
END f_add_work_days;
I think there is something wrong/missing in the logic as I can't get it to cater for say a double bank holiday(25/26th Dec - if the input parameters are 24/12/2007 and 2, which should return the 28th but returns the 26th!!).
I'm relatively new to PL/SQL and Oracle, so any help, advice, ideas would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance

Calculate the Difference Between two dates excluding weekends and Holidays

Hi,
We need to calculate the difference between the two dates by excluding the Local public holidays (It is global and varies across countries) and weekends should not be included in calculation for a business day in OBIEE.
We have two dates: Open date and close date when ever close date is null we are calculating age based on taking the current timestamp and need to exclude the weekends and Holidays when ever the close date is null.
Ex:
Col1 col2 Total
11/9/2010 2:46:38 PM Null 13
11/2/2010 8:06:26 PM 11/3/2010 5:37:03 PM 1
(In the Total we shouldn't include the weekends,holidays)
Please let me know how to calculate the difference between two dates by excluding the weekends and holidays.
Thanks

Payment term with fixed day but exclude weekends and holidays

Hello,
our customer has a requirement to have payment term that is like this:
Due date: fixed day 15th next month.
If due date falls in weekend or holiday due date will move to next business (working) day.
We have working payment term which is always the 15th on next month but it falls to weekends.
I was searching SDN found something but not working.
Could you please send me a step-by-step configuration how to exclude the weekends and holidays?
Thank you a lot.
Best regards,
Lubos

Dear Lubos,
unfortunately waht You need to have It is impossible into the SAP Standard System.
Please be aware that the vendor invoice has two relevant dates:
Baseline date   > INVFO-ZFBDT
Due on   > INVFO-NETDF
The Baseline date is managed by the "Term of payment", transaction obb8, frame
"Baseline date calculation" where You can put for example :
Fixed day            30
Additional months     3
This means that if You put as Document date 01.01.2009, the baseline date
will be 30.04.2009 (fixed day 30, additional months 3).
The "Due on" date will start ALWAYS from "the Baseline date"
(that in my example is 30.04.2009) and according to the below
"Term of payment" , the System will add
31 days, so the Due on date will be 31.05.2009.
Term      Percentage   No. of days / Fixed date Additional months
1.               %      31
2.               %
3.
You could think to use the FI substitution to reach Your goal.

Thanks for your help.

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules (you do not). Temporal
data should use ISO-8601 formats (you do not!). Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums.
We hate functions in SQL. This is a declarative language and you are using it like 1950's FORTRAN. We hate local variables (more FORTRAN!)
The name of a function has to be either a known, common name, like “sine”, “cosine” etc. Or it is “<verb>_<object>”; you think a noun is a verb! Do you really need BIGINT? Why did you invite garbage data with it? Why do you think that SQL
uses AM/PM? Have you never seen the TIME data type?
Think about “date_val” as a data element name. A date is a unit of temporal measurement on a calendar scale. This would be a “<something>_date” in a valid schema.
>> Is there a way to get this to work as a function? <<
Probably, but why do it wrong?
Build a calendar table with one column for the calendar data and other columns to show whatever your business needs in the way of temporal information. Do not try to calculate holidays in SQL -- Easter alone requires too much math.
The julian_business_nbr is how SQL people do this. Here is the skeleton.
CREATE TABLE Calendar
(cal_date DATE NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
julian_business_nbr INTEGER NOT NULL,
Here is how it works:
INSERT INTO Calendar
VALUES ('2007-04-05', 42),
('2007-04-06', 43), -- Good Friday
('2007-04-07', 43),
('2007-04-08', 43), -- Easter Sunday
('2007-04-09', 44),
('2007-04-10', 45); --Tuesday
To compute the business days from Thursday of this sample week to next Tuesday:
SELECT (C2.julian_business_nbr - C1.julian_business_nbr)
FROM Calendar AS C1, Calendar AS C2
WHERE C1.cal_date = '2007-04-05',
AND C2.cal_date = '2007-04-10';
See how simple it can be when you stop trying to write FORTRAN and think in sets?

Error while using 2001 to apply for leave

Hi,
I have customized for accrual of leave using RPTQTA00. The leaves are getting generated correctly.
However when I am trying to apply for leave using 2001, the error stating "subtype not valid" is shown.
I have checked the Entry Screen and it is set to 2001. Deduction rules are defined and assigned respectively in the counting rule.
Could anyone please help? Where could I be missing out?
Thanks

Hi Vijay,
Plz Check Table V_001P_D for Personnel sub area Grouping.
Then chk your Absence Catalog>>>Define Absences.
If the absences types are there for the specific grouping then the error should'nt come.
Hope it helps

BSP error while applying a Leave request in ESS

Dear Friends,
Reposting an issue which I posted earlier in ESS Forum as I didn't get solution there and the issue is more technical and moved towards Netweaver applications.
While applying a leave request in ESS portal, I am getting an error page saying Business Server Page error.
Checked related SPRO Nodes: Both ESS UI5 and ESS (Java) nodes. They are maintained. Being HCM Functional Consultant, this error I am not able to analyze anyway. So asking Portal /Netweaver experts here.
Error screen attached-

Calculating number of days without weekend and holidays

Hallo all,
can someone help me with a formular to calculate the number of days with Crystal Reports 2008 between two dates without weekends and holidays
eg.
date one = 03/24/2010
date two = 03/29/2010
Result should be 4 days as 03/27 and 03/28 will be a weekend.
Plus how to exclude holidays ?
Thank you very much
Gerald

As Doug mentioned, Holidays are very location specific, and are you talking about "corporate holidays" where the company is closed, or "public holidays" where banks (<g>) are closed?
I'd suggest setting up a calendar table (if you don't have one already), one record per date. You could make it work-days only, days-off only, or all dates with a flag to indicate if it is a work date. You could then use that to count the number of work days. By using a table, you wouldn't have to change any code to (a) extend your calendar to the following year, or (b) change holiday dates if the holidays change. (I'm thinking corporate holidays, where the company might be closed Friday 12/24/10 in observation of Christmas, but would usually only close on the 25th.)

WS12300111 - Creating different title for Cancel and Apply for leave

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to change the existing workflow to be able to differentiate between approval and cancelling of leave request?
Best regards,
Brian

Hi Umesh,
The node that you are pointing to is for customizing type of absence, in business process it is called Absence Type which in HR translated to Subtype for infotype 2001. In ITS version, you can customized this table to launch different Absence (e.g. Annual leave, Bank Holiday, Maternity Leave, etc) to launch different workflow.
For my case, the employee has already submitted the leave request, and decided to cancel the leave which has already been apply.
In Workflow it will be easy if this 2 process generates 2 different events, but in ECC6 environment of the ESS it does not generate events but calling a standard workflow as stated in this thread topic.
Best regards,
Brian

Not able to apply for leave after deduction interval.

Hi,
our client is having leave type which is valid from 1st April 2010 to 31st March 2010 and deduction interval also from 1st April to 31st march 2010.
now employees are not able to apply for the leave of April month of 2011 where do i have to change in configuration.
I did change in counting rule apply to abs type but still getting error no absence quota available.
Regards,
Yuvraj

Hi,
Just small correction for my understand.
Ur leave quota validity from 1st April 2010 to 31st March 2011 and deduction interval also from 1st April to 31st march 2011.
now employees are not able to apply for the leave of April month of 2011 where do i have to change in configuration?
As per your requiment, you don't have quota carry forward to next year i.e., 2011 April.
You should run/ generate the leave quotas for the employees by using RPTQTA00 or PT60.. for the year of April 2011 to March 2012. Whichever you are using for ur business requirement. After generating leave quotas to ee's , automatically leave quotas will be update in 2006 for this year. then employee can avail the leave in the month of April 2011.

Devi.
