Family Members/Dependents - Gender not updating backend

Hi All,
We are using ESS for ECC6....
In our PRD environment, we are seeing some Family Member/Dependent records saved to the backend (IT0021) without a Gender selected (neither radio button is selected)..   The issue seems to occur arbitrarily: sometimes the Gender is saved to the backend, sometimes it is not.  It is not specific to one or two subtypes.  Has anyone else seen this behavior? 
Thanks,
Karen G.

Hi Barin --
Thanks for your response...
I saw note 1120683, but it says it is only for Belgium... (?)
However, should I make the same entries in backend table V_T588MFPROPS? I currently have NO ENTRIES in the table for Fields FASEX, GESC1, and GESC2 for our country (version 10). Our requirement is for when the
user is in ESS Famly Members/Dependents they MUST select either MALE or FEMALE (radio button) before saving the record. This is "normally" how it currently works for us -- with the exception of those arbitrary records (approx 10) we found with nothing saved.  Was this caused due to missing table entries or was it just a weird fluke that could be caused by a bad networking connection when the EE was saving the record..?
Please advise any thoughts or recommendations...
Regards,
Karen G.

  • Problem with Family members/dependents screen in ESS for Switzerland countr

    Hi All,
    We are checking standard Fmaily Members/dependents screen in Personal Information under ESS for switzerland and screen doesn't have some fields compared to what we see in pa30 for the same country.if we check for other countries ess portal screen and pa30 screen look similar.when we check switzerland country specific webdypro component layout is different from pa30 and some of the fields are missing.
    why is this inconsistency with only switzerland country and is there any note available for this
    Thanks
    Bala Duvvuri

    Unfortunately you have to, But since the fields are available in backend, It can be easily be made visible in the front end
    changing the properties of the field
    Do make sure you raise a development request if this indeed required by the customer, You can raise a OSS for it, But I am afraid answer wont be encouraging

  • ESS - Family Members - Incorrect gender being displayed for Children

    Hello,
    On the "Family Members/Emergency Contact" page in ESS the Gender of the children is not being displayed properly.  The first child displays with the proper gender but after that each subsequent child is being displayed with the same gender as the firts child.
    For example, if the first child displayed is Male then all others will then be displayed as Male regardless of whether they are Male or Femail.
    Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.
    Daniel A

    Daniel,
    I guess it has to do with the HR configuration. How do the genders appear there?

  • ESS Family members/dependents iview

    Hello All,
    I am having an issue with the family members and dependents iview in ESS.
    Right now when I click on the iview it displays a line of buttons each saying new spouse, new child, new first emergency contact etc and when I click on any of these buttons it displays the detail view of that contact.
    My requirement is to change the overview page of this iview from displaying a list of buttons to may be a list box or a combo box. I looked at the bizcard view of this iview but could not figure out how to change this or if there is any customization that can be done in IMG to change the view of this iview.
    Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Renu

    Hi Sharadha and Krishnagopal
    Thank you for responding. So I need to change the bizcard view of this iview. I have the NWDI set up and imported the application. I saw the bizcard view also but could not understand where I need to make the changes as it looks same as any other bizcard view of any other application.
    Any suggestion on this will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

  • ESS Family Members/Dependents Screen

    Using ESS 50.4,  HR 470 SP73,  EP 6.0
    In the Family Member/Dependent screen the Next and Previous buttons take the user back to the List screen.  We need for the user to be able to view the next family member such as when someone has more than one child.
    Is this an HR Functional setting or does the screen have to be modified?
    Please provide details of how to correct this problem.
    Thank you for your assistance and points will be awarded,
    Donna Maupin

    Hmmm still not following....so let me ask this.....at what point in this process would it fail...
    (1) user views list of dependents in table
    (2) user selects row (ie. clicks row selector to left) of the dependent they wish to select
    (3) user selects the "display/edit" button from below the table.
    (4) user is taken to next screen that displays the details of the selected dependent
    (5) user selects the "back" button (NOT browser back button)
    (6) user select another dependent in the table following stepts 2 and 3 above.
    (7) user views details of newly selected dependent.
    Is that not what you followed? If so and it still broke (only returned to first dependent in the list), I would say it was more likely a program error/bug. I know other user actions can cause issues (like double clicking on a row to select it) which might result in the wrong record being chosen....but nothing else I have seen seems to be like you described.

  • Family Members/Dependents Biz Card

    As it relates to the following:
    HRESS_CC_PER_OVR_FAMILY_XX
    HRESS_CC_PER_DTL_FAMILY_XX
    These two CCs only provide fields from IT0021, but IT0106 would also apply.
    Given the fact that the BizCards work off of the BOL model and each object in the BOL model is related to only one infotype.  Is there a way to also add fields from IT0106 on the same UIBB/BizCard?

    Samuli,
    Your confirmation that it should work, led me back to the real problem.  We keep getting bitten by our implementation of US - Public Sector.  I'm not even sure what all that does, but I do know it makes the VIEKN field on IT0003 = 'UP' which isn't friendly with the app cc for this personal information application.
    If I look at the HRESS_CC_PER_DTL_FAMILY_US it indeed has everything we need.  I keep forgetting that UP is getting passed through the app cc and it wasn't delivered to handle it, so we end up defaulting to the XX version for everything.
    We have replaced the XX version in both the overview and detail UIBBs with US versions to take the app cc out of the equation for other infotypes.  But I feel this isn't the correct way to do it.
    Would you have any thoughts on handling the UP issue we have as it relates to these biz cards?
    Do we just need to maintain an enhancement in the GENIL_MODEL_EDITOR and add all the UP objects and point them to US structures?

  • Family Members for ESS SP9

    Hello,
    I am on EP7.0 ERP05 NW04s ESS6.0 SP8 Patch 9 . There was one problem in the ESS Family Members/Dependents Detail screen for country selection for which a note 1039586 was released ....this note tells you to apply new SP9 released to solve the issue but we have already started Development with SP8 and done changes ...so we cannot apply SP9  .....is there some other way to go about this issue without manually changing the application...
    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Hi Subhash,
    Is the prerequisite note 981703 applied as mentioned in the note 1039586.
    Have you applied the correction instructions which gives you the backend changes?
    In case, if both of the above are done, then you have the complete backend changes.
    Remaining Front end changes to be done
    1. You have to create model in the family DC for the RFC which is added when you imported the correction instructions from 1039586.
    2. You have to call the RFC onSelect action of the 'country' dropdown and assign the values returned by the RFC to the variable assoicated with the state dropdown.
    Hope this is clear.But i suggest you to apply SP9 instead of making all these changes
    Regards,
    Sharadha

  • ESS Family Members

    Hi
    I got a problem in ESS Family members / dependents where the Header of the Subtype does not appear in the view. It is a funny situation where we find the 3rd record always gets this problem.
    I raised a OSS with SAP they are still looking at our system but have not got a reply for very long time.
    Please tell me if anyone has encountered/resolved  this problem
    regards

    Hi
    You see when i display the family members & dependents for each record like Father Mother Brother Sister there is a heading of the subtype and under this heading the details of the record appears like this example

  • ESS Family Member/Dependents Fields

    Hello Everyone.
    We have implemented ESS (ECC6, Portal 7 SP13) and the Family Members/Dependents screen is coming up. However, on the screen when we try to add a Spouse or a child, there is no field to capture their SSN or address. What steps do we need to enable the SSN and the address fields to show up?
    Thanks.

    OK, I am not that experienced at this so I am trying to give you the best info I can from my side. I really appreciate your help.
    So, I imported the project into my NWDS through our NWDI. On opening it in the WD Perspective, I went to WebDynpro->WebDynpro Components and there I saw a number of components with some views in them. There is a component in there called VcPerFamilyUSDetail that has a view (called DetailView) which includes all the fields I need and the SSN/Address etc. are visible. Also, I checked its mapping and it is doing the mapping to the correct fields on the SAP side i.e. PERID and STRAS.
    However, this is not what I see on the portal when I go to this App. I am thinking (but not sure) that I probably see the view under VcPerFamilyUSOverview instead since that view is not mapping the SSN and Address fields. Although, when I try to open that view (called BizCardsView), it does not show me anything.
    So, I am guessing I somehow need to re-point my ESS to access VcPerFamilyUSDetail instead of VcPerFamilyUSOverview. Is that correct? And if so, how would I achieve that?

  • Family Sharing not showing Organizer's Purchases for other family members

    I have enabled Family Sharing on my device as the Organizer and added my wife's Apple ID to my list of family members.  She has accepted the invitation on her end and we both see each other in the Family Sharing list within Settings->iCloud->Family Sharing.  If I go to the App Store (remember, I'm the organizer), and I choose Updates->Purchased->Family Purchases (choosing my wife's Apple ID) I can see all the apps she's purchased.  It won't work the other way around, though.  If she goes to the App Store and tries to view my purchases, she gets a blank screen.
    I have already checked to see if I'm hiding purchases, I'm not.  In Settings->iCloud->Family Sharing->Me, I have Share My Purchases enabled.  I've signed in and out of iCloud, and she's done the same.  I've confirmed my Apple ID, and she's done the same.  We can't figure it out.  Why in the world is she a part of the Family Sharing group, but we can't get it so she can view my purchased apps?

    I have the same issue. I can see my wife's purchases but on her phone, it says that I have no purchases. I also tried If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support and disabling family sharing and re-inviting her. I would also like to know how to fix this.

  • HT204053 Is it possible to have two (or more) different icloud mail accounts (not alias) under the same apple id? If not what is you best advice for all family members to have their own e-mail and still share the purchases under the same apple id. Thanks

    So I basically won't run into any trouble? I
    There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that.  You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

    Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
    Unlikely. But nothing is impossible.   Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

    If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
    If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
    Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
    SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
    Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

    Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
    If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

    My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

    Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off.  It will not charge while the phone is on.  Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything.  I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

  • Family Sharing Calendar not "sharing" events among family members

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone has a similar issue and can shed some light.
    I've setup a Family with myself as the organizer.
    We have 2 iMacs, 1 MacBook Pro, 3 iPhones, and 3 iPads used by my three family members.
    The "Family" calendar now shows up on all devices but events made on a single device are not showing on any of the other devices.
    I've read all I can find and it appears to me that the "Family" shared calendar should sync across all family members without the need to "share" the calendar as we did in the past.
    Can anyone confirm that is the case?
    As a quick fix I simply "shared" the Family calendar (using email address's of the family members) and it is working, but this is essentially the same way we used to share a calendar.  Just doesn't seem to make sense to me.
    Thanks in advance for any insight!
    Jim

    I am having the same problem. I have done some testing and have found the following:
    If I create an event in the Family Calendar on my Mac it shares it with all devices; however, if I create a new event in the Family Calendar on any of my iOS devices it doesn't share with any of my devices including my Mac. This has only been an issue since I upgraded to iOS 8.1.
    I hope someone can help clarify if this truly is an iOS 8.1 issue and when they might come out with another update. This is a big problem for families trying to stay up-to-date with each others schedules.
    Thanks.
