Flexible Working time in MSS - Incorrect Locks

Hi All,
We are facing an issue, like manager have an issue that one of their employee showing a padlocked again in MSS flexible working time. We have checked in PA20 and SM04 they are not locked.
Managers are not able to create or change working pattern as they get the message that employee is locked.
Could you please advice how to fix this issue.
Regards
BTM

if your having authorization for this t-code SM12 then you can do it your self.
Generally it wont be in production system. Take some basis guy help and do unlock for that pernr/user in SM12 t-code what ever lock entries related to that employee number.

Change in Working Time - WORKFLOW - MSS

Hi All,
Im Very new to workflow & adobe forms in HCM.
From MSS, manager needs to initiate the workflow to HR administrator(Change in Working Time).
I have create form & ISR Scenario.
Could you please help me in creating the workflow.
Where to specify the ISR Scenario name in workflow, BOR 7051 & form name in WF..?
How to proceed further..?
Thanks,
Rani.

Hi Bentow,
Thanks for your reply.
And in my FS, there is no word like CATS.
Mine is compeltely a workflow part.
I just copying my FS workflow process part: Please Tell me some idea, if possible.
A custom workflow template needs to be developed for Change in Working Time (MSS) process.
Once the Manager submits the Change in Working Time form via MSS for any of the reporting Employees the corresponding Workflow will be triggered.
The workflow will route the submitted form to the relevant HR Administrator (which can be fetched based on an Agent determination rule , if needed or can be maintained in the workflow template).
The HR Administrator will open the form and update the backend SAP system accordingly.
Once the HR Administrator successfully updates the system , he shall process the form and complete it.
Once the form is successfully completed by the HR Administrator , the workflow will send an Email notification to the Manager of the concerned Employee. [In a normal scenario, the Manager will be the Initiator of the current Change in Working Time process]
The above workflow configuration needs to done as part of the usage of HCM P&F framework.
The Workflow will be triggered when the Requestor(Manager) Submits the Change in Working Time
form in MSS.
Thanks in Advance,
Rani,

Approve Working Time in MSS

Hello,
I want to implement "Time Sheet approval" in MSS and I read that it is available as a webdynpro application under the Workset "Team" which should have certain service links in the navigation panel one of which is "Approve Working Times" but the thing is that I do see various overview iviews under the workset but I don't see the service links...how can I get that working ....also how do I configure Time Approval using standard workflow.
Thanks in advance.

Disregard that previous post....I was thinking of another part of MSS that is part of HF still (sorry, working on HF stuff today...haha). now...back to your problem....
In the standard MSS role, you should see:
Manager Self Service (role)
+ Reporting BW
+ Reporting CR
+ Reporting IAC
--> Home (workset)
--> Manager Self Service (workset)
+ Overview (folder)
+ Work Overview (workset)
+ Team (workset)
>Team (webdynpro proxy page)
> Employee information (folder)
> Employee Working Times (folder)
+++ Approve Time Sheet Data
>Performance Mgmt (folder)
>Compensation Mgmt (folder)
etc.
Are you SURE you copied all of this over and have that folder structure? Also, if you open the TEAM (webdynpro proxy page) object (go to it via the delta-link tracer in the role, then select the item in the tracer and pick "show in catalog" to find it and open it).....from the "Display" drop down (next to the row of buttons at the top of the edit screen) pick "Dynamic Navigation". This will show you the "Services" iView. This "Services" iview is what shows all those folders (under the TEAM page in the role laout) as items in the detailed navigation panel. The folder is the "subsection" title and the items in the folder are the actual links (like the "Approve Time Sheet Data" one under the Employee Working Times folder.

MSS: Approval of Working Hours - Working Times Changed Subsequently/Locked

Dear All,
I am facing one issue while approving the CATS working hours in portal through MSS.
We are using task TS31000007 for approval.
In our CATS profile we have input fields as:
CO Area, Send. CCtr, Activity Type, Rec. Order, Oper./Act., Work center, Plant , Att./abs. type, Wage Type, Acctg Indicator
When user enters the working hous only against Att. / abs. type, the manager gets the task and approval/rehjection happens successfully.
But when user mentions the other fields as well in addition to Att. / abs. type, and saves the hours, the manager can see the task. But when manager tries to approve/reject the working hours he gets message like below:
At this time, you cannot save the following working times since the employees working times are currently being processed or have just been changed.
Save any other data first and wait a few moments.
You can then choose Back and attempt to save the data again. Your approval decisions are retained but you might see data that is out-of-date.
Alternatively, you can restart the application to see the changes that have been made to this data.
Working Times Changed Subsequently or Locked
Employee Date Number Message
21 29.09.2008 4.00H Not possible to save: Record has changed
But when same manger tries to approve from R3 it is working perfectly.
Please let me know what is going wrong with portal ?
Thanks ,

Break timings for Flexible work schedules

Dear All
I am trying to configure the breaks for Flexible working time. (For example :- 24 hour clock, the employee can log in any time for fixed 9 hours). what is the procedure in configuring such breaks and since the break times also vary, how do we maintain the same ?
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Mohammed

Dear Sehgalji
By using the table v_t550p, we can define only the breaks with fixed times,but i am trying to define breaks with flexible timings, since the working timings are flexi timings
example :- breaks are not defined and employee can take a break anytime for fixed duration of 20 minutes.

Mohammed

I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, change language setting. Now what???

This sorted it for me:
Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

MSS - Approval of working time

Hi
As a manager (MSS) i am getting three option when an emp(ESS) submits working time, viz, approve all, reject all, resubmit all.
I want to delete the resubmit all option. I have checked in R/3, the documentation says that this entry is defaulted by SAP.
is there is any way by which we can modify this option?
Regards
Minal

Dear Minal,
Do you manage to hide the resubmit all button? I am facing the same problem. BTW, do you know the different between resubmit and reject. I have try both and it seem the same to me.
Thanks

MSS approval Working time

Hi gurus,
We are using MSS 1.0 and EP 7 .I have a small problem.For the approval working Time we are using task TS20000460 task and we modified it based on the requirement of the client .Now we have discovered that when manager approves the time in MSS , the infotypes are updated automatically which the client does'nt want that to happen.Is the MSS approval will work the same way or it's because of workflow.Is there any setting to be done so that when the manager approves it the update will go into the CATSDB table but not the infotypes.
Reply is needed very urgently on this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You need to update the CATSWF transaction not to transfer immediately. Also in the approval profile for the iview SAP_Line uncheck the box to transfer immediate.
Hope this helps and maybe by now you have found your answer.

Defining Working Times - Incorrect Scheduling Result for non-Working Date

Hi All,
We are on SAP R/3 46C and in the process of implementing 'Route Schedules' for our outbound delivery processing.
One of the pre-requisite customising requirements for 'Route Schedules' is to maintain 'Working Times' for the Shipping Point for precise scheduling.
We have defined a 24 hour shift between Monday and Friday in the 'Working Times' config (IMG -> Logistics Execution -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions -> Scheduling -> Delivery Scheduling and Transportation Scheduling -> Maintain Working Hours).
The 24 hour shift is defined as follows Start: 00:00:00 with a Finish at 24:00:00 (We initially had 23:59:59, however, encountered problems with this config). We have also maintained a 24 hour Pick/Pack time in Customising, and we do not use Loading Times.
We have encountered a problem when we key a Sales Order Item where the ATP confirmed qty Delivery Date results in a Material Availability Date on a 'Friday', in this scenario, the system determines a one day 'Loading Time' which falls on a Saturday at 00:00:00. This outcome is incorrect on two levels - 1) we do not use 'Loading Times' in our system, 2) a non-working day (Saturday) has been selected. An important exception to this outcome - if a Route is not selected for the Sales Order item, the outcome described above does not eventuate.
Any assistance in explaing possible causes of this unusual result would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ravelle
When we display our time streams via report 'ZZTSTRDISP' (OSS Note 169885)
The system shows our 24:00:00 Finish time is converted to 00:00:00 which incorrectly rolls into the next day - on a Friday this means our shift finishes on a Saturday at 00:00:00
25    06.02.2008     00:00:00            07.02.2008     00:00:00

HCM MSS Change in Working Time - Workflow

Hi All,
Im New to HCM & WOrkflows too...
I need your help, it would be very helpful for me to prove my skills.
I have a requirement like, The requirement is to initiate the Change in Working Time process from MSS( Manager Self-Service ) for a particular employee .
Desc:
Manager can initiate the Change in Working Time process for his /her employees/reportees via MSS . The manager will use a web-based interactive form (Adobe interactive form within HCM P&F framework) to fill in the details of the new changed work schedule of the Employee in question. Once this form is submitted by the Manager , the corresponding workflow will be triggered which sends a work item to the HR Administrator ; the HR Administrator will update the backend SAP accordingly. Once successfully updated an email notofication will be sent to the Manager of the Employee (in normal cases the Manager at this stage is the Initiator of the process)
And how to do this workflow development(only workflow part), if u can please tell me the skeleton structure to achieve this.
i have seen WS61000074 - this is ESS Change in working time. Same thing i need to do in MSS. Only thing is, in MSS Employee is not included.
Thanks in Advance,
Rani.

Hi Bentow,

MSS: Approve working times

Dear experts,
a user runs a MSS transaction "Approve working times" but he receives the message: "No data exists that needs to be approved".
The user who runs this transaction is holder of chief position in the organizational plan and one position reports to him.
If the same user runs the transaction "cats_appr_lite" in SAP R/3, records to be approved are displayed.
The MSS user uses the profile "SAP Approval by Line Manager".
Why there are no data displayed in MSS transaction?
Thank you in advance,
Vana Sounta

What about this situation? Manager 1 would like Manager 2 to approve the working time of his staff while away from the office. We setup a substitution in the UWL of Manager 1 to give time approval tasks to Manager 2. Manager 2 receives the tasks as expected. When executing the task (Approve working time) however, the employees from Manager 1 do not appear in the list. I would expect that Manager 2 should see and have the ability to approve the time.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated on this type of substitution.
Best regards,
Joe Earley

ESS & MSS - CATS regular/Record Working Time (Web Dynpro)

Hello,
SAP Library help (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ef/e18d3f7057eb0ce10000000a114084/frameset.htm) says the following:
Compared with CATS classic, the following constraints exist for this Web application:
Since CATS regular is an Employee Self-Service application, time administrators or data entry personnel cannot recording working time data.
Is there any workaround to solve it? I mean, we need to recording working time data centrally through ESS or MSS. That's possible? Any enhacement for that? No matter where to do it (ESS or MSS).
Thanks!
Miguel Angel.

Hi Jigar,
That's almost exactly the requirement we need to implement!
Basically we need:
a. The employees with computer will record their own working times via ESS
b. For the employees without computer, their working times will be recorded via MSS by:
1. their org unit superior OR
2. someone like a time administrator defined in a custom list containing "employees for the time administrator".
I mean, someone called "time administrator" will record working time for a determined numbers of employees, but this "time administrator" is not the org unit superior. It's possible?? This is the mostly case.
Other requirements:
- Default time sheets and target hours for employees (for each employee the corresponding time sheet and target hours)
Thanks!!
Miguel Angel.

MSS Record Working Times header

I am losing the employee's name in the screen header when I use a custom Webdynpro Application Configuration for Record Working Times on Behalf of Employee in MSS.
Here is what I've done...
The ZHRESS_AC_CATS_1_CP_1 in the screenshot below is an exact copy of HRESS_AC_CATS_1. I did not make any changes to it.
When I specify the standard HRESS_AC_CATS_1 in the Launchpad:
This is what the Record Working Times header looks like:
But when I specify ZHRESS_AC_CATS_1_CP_1 (EXACT copy of HRESS_AC_CATS_1) in the Launchpad:
This is what the header looks like:
Does anyone know why I'm losing the employee's name, and how I get it back?

Hello David,
I guess this is a limitation of CATS application.
