From- To Time in ESS Leave Request

Hi,
In leave request, for certain leaves I have opted for that from and to time. Now that value gets defualted to 12AM to 12AM. is there a way I can default some other time, say the work timing of that employee as per his/her WSR?

You can default Work Schedule rule times in the leave request
You can use feature
HRSIF for this functionality. Please read the feature documentation
and check customisation in V_PTRAQ_PROCESS.
Depeding on your requirement you can decide how to use
PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK ie hours field or the clock times.
That means you need to clear the time fields which are derived
from the work schedule

Ess Leave Request -Change in Time calculation without changing work schedu

Hi All,
We are implementing a ESS Leave Request in EP6 with backend HR ECC5.0.
The time calculation is taken from the Work schedule rule in
HR backend which is 24*7.
For example if the leave taken is for 2 days-systems calculates as 24*2=48 hrs
but in actual the requirement is to calculate 2*8 =16 hrs without changing
the Work Schedule in 2001 infotype in HR Backend.
Can we do this change through
1.Validation in portal itself
2.Changing the RFC PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK
3.Changing the Absence Types

Anand.

Enhancement in ESS Leave Request

Hi Gurus,
I am new to webdynpro Java. I have a requirement to add a custom button in a Standard ESS leave request (Webdynpro Java) view. When i click the the button it has to call popview(not sure is it possible to call a webdynpro abap view). If possible explain me with step by step preocedures(with screen shots).
Thanks,
Mohammed

Hi,
          Good, you are now able to do modification in Standard ESS package. If you want to navigate to another WDABAP iView from your WDJAVA application, you can use the below code on some button or link action to navigate to another iView.
Check this link:-
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/navigation/api/WDPortalNavigation.html
public void onActionnavigateToToAbapiView(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionnavigateToAbapiView(ServerEvent)
     try
                    WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
                     "ROLES://portal_content/com.demo.DEMO_PCD/com.demo.ESS_SAP/com.demo.iview_ESS/demo.com.java_demo_com_demodc_demo_com_DemoApp",
                     WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
                     "Window Title", WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,
                     "Title",
                     "",//ContextURL
                     "param1=10&param2=portalID");
     catch (Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
You will find your WDAbap PCD location in Content Admin, copy it and repace PCD: with ROLES at start.
also you can pass parameters between 2-iViews, in the above code snippet you can find that.
the above code needs to be written in your source iView so as to navigate to destination iView which is mentioned using its PCD location.
to retrieve the parameters you need to check ABAP syntax to retrieve URL parameters.
In java we retreive using below syntax:-
String param1 = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param1");
String loginID = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param2");
to show it as a Pop-Up you need to find some work-around to achieve it, If i get time will do it and let you know, but if you find something for that do share.

ESS: Leave Request - How to use a custom Leave Workflow?

Hi Experts,
I am implementing ESS 1.0 for mySAP ERP05. I have a custom workflow for Leave Request which I want to use for the ESS Leave Request. Can someone tell me what are the configuration steps required for this?
I have already performed the following activity:
SPRO --> Personnel Information --> ESS --> Service Specific Settings --> Working Time --> Leave Request --> Specify Processing Processes for Types of Leave
Here I have defined the WF ID of New Request as the custom Workflow ID.
Now when I trigger the Leave Request from EP-ESS, the message comes that the request was sent successfully.
But in the backend no workflow gets triggered. I even tried to write an implementation for the BADI PT_ABS_REQ to trigger the custom workflow event, but still no activity in the ECC workflow upon submitting thwe portal request.
Can some one please advise.
Thanks,
Shobhit

Ohh.. So the standard WF also doesnt get triggered??
Are you sure u have done SWU3 config??
If u have, Try using SWU_OBUF to refersh the workflow buffer.
Try swi1 to check what is happening with ur WF.
Try login to requesters login ... SBWP ... check the outbox. Is there a WF with Error here.
Cheers!!

Error after second level approval in ESS leave request

Hi Experts
I am using custom workflow for Ess Leave request process which is copied from WS21500001.
I have added custom class methods to change status from approved to sent.
Then another method i have set next appovaer.
The problem i m facing is that I am getting an error on portal after second approval approves the request.
i.e Field syomol has not been assigned yet.
from st22 i found its generating from
Include LPT_ARQ_REQUEST_UIAF06 - Form   execute_approver_update
By debugging i found that Its not getting next approval with status T as there is only first approval with status 'A'
This results in unassigned field symbol. and then error.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Please confirm why next approver is not found in method.

Hi All
Thanks for your reply.
I checked why it was giving a dump.
This execute_approver_update subroutine takes approval data from table ptreq_approver .
I filled this with resp actor id after request is approved and status is changed to sent.
For every emp its unique actor id is saved in ptreq_actor table agaist his pernr.
   SELECT SINGLE actor_id FROM PTREQ_ACTOR INTO actor_id WHERE objid = nextApprover_pernr.
    wa_appr-mandt = sy-mandt.
    wa_appr-request_id = Request_ID. "Req.requestID ( from Workflow )
    wa_appr-version_no = version_no. "Req.Version ( from Workflow )
    wa_appr-seqnr = seqnr. "Same as version no but in char
    wa_appr-approver_ins = actor_id. "Employee actor id from ptreq_actor
    wa_appr-status = 'T'. "Manual
    append wa_appr to it_appr.
    INSERT PTREQ_APPROVER FROM TABLE it_appr .
    commit work and wait.
This resolved my issue.
Thanks

FMLA relevant absence Message in ESS Leave Request

Hi Experts,
I am on ERP2004, EP6.0SP20.
I have configured the ESS Leave Request and activated the workflow. When an employee submits a leave request, he sees a message "the requested absence type is an FMLA relevant absence". However, the requested absence type is not a FMLA relevant absence.
I would like to stop this message coming on to portal. I am not sure whether it is related to Time Management configuration on absence quotas etc. Has any body seen this message?
your help will be greatly appreciated!

Messages can be hided in Leave Request through configuration on R/3 side. NWDI customization is not necessary.

ESS leave request

Dear friends
in ESS leave request workflow , in approval process task i am maintaining 10 days deadline , after that by using process control i am making the workitem to be obselete , then same leave request is going to supervisor's supervisor . this is properly working, my problems are
when the first supervisor opens some other leave request still the escalated leave request is showning in the table , still system is allow him approve . and also in the supervisor's supervisor inbox then workitem remains if he opens the workitem there is no any leave for approval in that table , so deadline mointerting is not working propely for ess leave request , and also in supervisor's supervisor inbox workitem is not going out from uwl .
how to do deadline mointering for ESS leave request workflow ,
can any one help on this
reason which i could identify is details are picking from the document database based on the approver .

You should check the forum, I think I saw a thread in the last two days which stated that deadline monitoring is not working for the leave request. (it could be the HCM forum). So this would be why the handling is not working as expected.
The problem of no leave to be approved for the manager could be prevented if you set a terminating event on the task which will be triggered when the leave is approved.

Martin

ESS Leave Request - Customer fields default function not working

Hi,
a. SAP version being discussed
SAP ECC6.0
EP7.0
ESS/MSS
b. Here is the scenario
1. We are using ESS Leave Request application for employees to request leave. We are using the standard web dynpro java leave request application delivered by SAP.
2. Lately there has been a need to provide a customer field on the request form which will have a calculated value showing up when the employee opens the request
3.We used one customer field called customer01 as per configuration steps.
4. This field appears on the request form when it is opened.
5. Our need is to display a value in that field when the form is opened.
6. SAP/s documentation states that we can use BADI PT_ABS_ARQ to default a value to this field on the form. This value is calculated during runtime dynamically.
7. We have used the method IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP for this purpose
8. After activating and coding this implementation, the system does not default anything on the request form when it is opened up.
9. Once the employee hits the review button, this field gets its defaulted value but this is not what we want. We want the system to display this when the form is OPENED, that means at the prepare stage. For this field to appear after hitting the review button is meaningless as the employee needs to make a decision based on the value in this field before hitting the review button.
It almost seems like this BADI is called when the review button is hit and not when the form is opened up. We may be wrong and missing something obvious which one of you can immediately point out, Hence this post.
10. I did go thru the forum at great length and seen that there has been discusion surrounding the need to populate R3 from a value entered into this field. My problem is different wherein, I wish to populate this upfront as display information when the form is opened and then send it back to R3, once the employee submits the request.
Would be grateful if anybody on this forum could point me in the right direction.
Thank you,
Rajesh

Please, can I take this question a little further.
Is it possible to add more fields to the leave request form on the ESS portal. For example, our customer wants additional fields like reason for leave, contact residential and telephone number during leave, Require leave entitlements (Yes/No).
Would appreciate if a reply can be given on if it is possible or not and what to be done if it is possible.
Cheers

Standard functionality of ESS Leave Request Details.

Hi Gurus,
Can anybody share the links of Standard functionality of ESS Leave Request Details..?
And,Is there any standard functionality in ESS Leave Requests that if a User raises a Leave Request and want to extend the leave...is there any rule that User First cancel the previous Leave Request and raise a New Leave Request .
Please explain briefly for the same.
Thanks,
Prakash.

You've all the customizing in SPRO > Personnel Management > Employee Self-Service > Service-Specific Settings > Working Time > Leave Request
You define:
1) A Rule with certain settings
2) Absences/Attendances to display in ESS, with certain settings, and its assignation to a Rule
3) A WF (commonly based on standard 12300111) --even you could not use a WF, check customizing
4) Run process (manually or not) for analyze, correct and delete or save the entries finally in SAP through PTARQ transaction
And,Is there any standard functionality in ESS Leave Requests that if a User raises a Leave Request and want to extend the leave...is there any rule that User First cancel the previous Leave Request and raise a New Leave Request .
The employee can be able to cancel the request even when attendance/absence was approved. You define this behaviour for each Absence/Attendance in customizing.

ESS - Leave Request , Team Calendar

We are not implementing the ESS - leave request application. But is it possible to use the "Team Calendar" application that can be viewed when the leave request application is used ?
ERP2005 , MSS 1.0
Regards,
Mark

Ideally, team calender should show the status of other team members within your team (from OM structure) - Who are at work, present, absent irrespective of your role (employee, manager).
You are correct, the authrization could be missing and that's the reason it was not showing the team member's status.
Put the trace on in st05 tcode and find out which authorization object it is refering to.

Anil Kumar.

ESS leave request - Change Approver

Hi,
We have a situation in which a employees dotted line manager will approve the leave request instead of a direct manager. We have a custom relationship to establish the dotted line manager. Now, In the ESS leave request there is a Approver field which shows the Employees direct manager. Can we customize the logic using a BADI or User exit to show the dotted manager?. Please let me know which enhancement is to be used for this requirement.
Thanks in Advance for your assistance.
Ramesh

in the customizing for the definition of the processes per rule group
you set the selection for the next processor to "Manual Entry".
or for the BADI
Another way is to use the BAdI Control Processing Processes for Time
Management Web Applications (PT_GEN_REQ) and implement the methode
IF_EX_PT_GEN_REQ~FIND_RESP_AND_DEFAULT_NEXT_PRC.
Method FIND_RESP_AND_DEFAULT_NEXT_PRC of badi
PT_GET_REQ might be utilised here.
Please have a look at the method
CL_PT_REQ_SEARCH_NEXT_P~SEARCH_NEXT_PROCESSOR.
If you are implementing the badi then make sure you copy all the methods
and implement the one, as mentioned.

ESS leave request 2 level workflow??

Hi friends,
Does anyone know how to create a 2 level workflow in ESS leave request?? im not able to find any solution for this.
looking forward for your reply...
thanks in advance
sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
You dont have to create a new status for such scenarios. The Java WD Leave Application lists all the Leave Requests that are in SENT status. So after the first approval is done, the status is set to APPROVED in case if it is approved. Now, we have to reset it to the status SENT if you have one more level of approval.
This can be achieved in 2 ways.
1) Changing your Standard Class's coding as suggested by SAP in the above thread.
2) You create one custom BOR with one method - RESETSTATUS - Which resets the status of the Leave Request back to SENT. You can get the required coding from APPROVE method of the above mentioned class.
I followed the second method.
I hope this should clear our problem.

Raja Sekhar

ESS Leave Request - Set Workflow status to Completed

Hi,
We are on ECC 5.0 and we are using ESS to process Leave Requests. We have a custom Workflow based on the standard Workflow template WS12300111 for approval of Leave Requests.
Whenever an employee creates a Leave Request via ESS the Workflow is started. When the employee deletes the request the Workflow has to be stopped/completed. For this we have put a Wait for Event step in a parallel branch to the Approval Process. In the Wait for Event step we wait till a condition ( Request.status = DELETED ) is met.
But when an employee deletes a Leave Request the request is deleted from the list but it gives a message as "Specify a class name".
Can anybody please help us on this( how to complete the workflow whenever the Request is deleted ) and let us know what is the procedure to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Immanuel

Hi Prashanth
Thanks for your quick reply. But that would not solve my problem. My Workflow looks something like this
                           WF-started by entries in configuration tables
                         Some activity in background
                     A fork with 2 parallel processes
                    Approval     Wait for an exception condition using Wait for event step
                      process          (wait till an attribute of a object has a specific value)
                          Workflow completed
The wait step waits for the status of the object to change to DELETED. The Workflow should get completed either if the Approval process is over or the condition specified in the Wait step is satisfied.
But in the case of ESS Leave Request this doesn't work. Is there anything that we need to do to set the status of the Workflow to Completed if the Leave Request is deleted.
Thanks
Immanuel
