Leave Approval: Another superior in case present superior absent

Hi all,
I have a requirement with the Leave request ( WS2000081) . In the standard scenario, the leave request goes to Approver and he approves it.
My business requirement is that in case the Leave approver is absent it should go to the superior's superior(that will be decided) . Any idea how to go about it ? How should one go about modifying the workflow?
any help is appreciated.
Regards
PN

Substitution is a good option which was implemented.

  • Leave approver UWL - Multiple entry

    Hi Expert,
      We have configured the UWL to display the Leave Request. Lets say there is 2 entries pending for approver to approve. He/she would received 2 entries in UWL. This is fine. When he/she click the leave request in UWL, system would launch the Leaver approver application. 
    However, the Leave approver application would display all entires pending for he/she to approved. User need to select the row and approve one by one which is very confusing to them. Many user complaint that he/she supposed to approver leave request for one person (i.e cause he click the entry for particular leave request), how come system would display also the leave request for another person. Also, it was very often for them to forget to approve all entries.
    It this a bug or by desing? Any insight?

  • Best way to implement ESS, Leave approval matrix.

    Hi Gurus,
    Please suggest me the best possible way to map the leave approval matrix for ESS.
    we had a plan to prepare our leave approval matrix based on "Position". Just wanna know Is it the right way to figure out the Leave approval matrix. Initially We received a suggestion to prepare the Leave approval matrix with Employee number but by seeing the attration rate/separation/inter org.unit transfer etc., It'll be very difficult to maintain the post seperation data maintenance.
    We had maintained a unique position id for each position(at present), If in near feauture if the same piece of task is assign to two person, we'll descriminate through there entry date(i.e. date of confirmation/Date of Joining).
    IS it the right way of doing it. Seeking expert suggestion.
    Thanks for your continuous support.
    Thanks,

    This is usually pretty easy.  Place all the files/pages you wish to appear as the sub domain in a folder on your site, then have your host create a "A" record for the subdomain you wish to create - so it will look like this  http://YourSubDomain.YourDomain.com - then route this "A" record to the folder. Be sure the home page in this folder is a default page, such as index.htm or default.htm, or whatever your server uses for the default home page file name.
    Hope this helps.

  • Leave Approval in MSS Displays Only Header

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with leave approval in MSS using the MSS Add-On.  I checked all the backend configurations and they seem OK.  I modified the UWL config file following the SAP note (which by the way said the config file should have been updated when installing MSS Add-On - but that didn't happen!).
    When I click on the leave request in UWL, a new screen opened and after a few seconds a blank header appears in the screen and nothing else.  When I previewed the leave approval in portal content, it works.
    I've searched for notes on this but nothing.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Krishan
    solution is simple.
    1. Raise an oss message and SAP would ask you to apply patch update from note 1720040.
    I am not too sure if this would solve the problem.
    Second option is
    1. go to your uwl xml and in your default xml paste following code for task 21500003.
    <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS21500003.SAP_ECC_HumanResources" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="defaultAction" executionMode="default">
    <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC_HumanResources" externalType=" TS21500003" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
    <CustomAttributes>
    <CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER" objectIdHolder="externalObjectId" objectType="WebflowContainer" cacheValidity="final">
    <Attribute name="REQUESTID" type="string" displayName="Request ID"/>
    </CustomAttributeSource>
    </CustomAttributes>
    <Actions>
    <Action name="defaultAction" groupAction="" handler="ObjectNavigationLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes">
    <Properties>
    <Property name="ObjectValue" value="LRF_REQUEST_ID=${item.REQUESTID}"/>
    <Property name="Operation" value="approveleaverequest"/>
    <Property name="ObjectName" value="employee"/>
    <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="true"/>
    <Property name="System" value="SAP_ERP_HumanResources"/>
    <Property name="DynamicParameter" value="LRF_REQUEST_ID=${item.REQUESTID}"/>
    </Properties>
    <Descriptions default="defaultAction"/>
    </Action>
    </Actions>
    </ItemType>
    After applying above if you still face same issue then download your mss addon 1.0 zip file from uwl admin page.
    extract com.sap.pct.erp.mss.addon.xml from com.sap.pct.erp.mss.addon.zip.
    paste above xml code for task 21500003 (please assure there is only one action for this task).
    and UPLOAD THE com.sap.pct.erp.mss.addon.xml
    Please make sure you upload the xml and not the zip. Please don't upload zip as that causes issues.
    Please don't rename the zip to xml etc. upload the changed com.sap.pct.erp.mss.addon.xml.
    After above it will work. in case there are issues please respond on this message.

  • How to get Agents in Leave Approval workflow

    Hello Experts,
    I'm using Standard Workflow for Leave Approval i.e WS 00400077. Since it is Standard Workflow it should get the AGENT automatically. But when i execute ny Workflow and when i check in SWEL Workflow is Working Properly but It is showing
    " NO AGENT " is there. so i'm not getting Workitem in Inbox.
    So what should i do.
    Help me to solve this problem.
    Regards,
    Vardhan.

    Hello,
    "when i check in SWEL Workflow is Working Properly but It is showing  " NO AGENT ""
    Look in SWI1 instead and see if an agent has been assigned. In some cases "No Agent" can just mean it hasn't be executed yet.

  • FIORI Leave Approval Scenario Definition Error

    Hi,
    I have implemented a leave approval before. That was working fine. Now I'm implementing another leave approval on a different server (embedded deployment also). I followed the same configurations for scenario definition and system alias. But I'm still having this error.
    Below are my configurations:
    Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Melanie,
    Are you implementing old UI? Please use new one..
    Important Note: Please use new UI with new SAP Fiori launchpad
    Only Approve Requests app uses scenario definition customizing. Other approval apps read workitems from backend application tables.

  • Modify generated leave approval screen

    I need to add a checkbox to the leave approval screen so that the manager can indicate if supporting documention has been sighted.
    Task TS20000193 usea BO FORM-HTMLPROCESS to call program SAPMWS2000081H with transaction code WS20000081.
    I tried copying the program and includes but there are more includes that are generated from I don't know where.
    What is the correct/best way to modify screen 150 in this program?
    Is there another way of going about it?

    Hi Neil,
    I probably shouldn't say this but... here's one exception to the rule about modifying SAP standard. Just change it. Make sure you have a backup available.
    a) It's hellishly complex to copy as there are a lot of little objects that interact & it's quite nasty code with individual tasks hardcoded. seen. Some OSS notes even recommend changing bits of code when you change the WF tasks.
    b) Any difficulties you may experience due to modding the standard will be less than the difficulties due to copying.
    c) That incarnation of leave request has reached the end of it's life. The ECC6 version has been completely rewritten form scratch and shares no common elements with it whatsoever, so upgrade problems are also not a factor.
    d) Because it's been around for some time I don't imagine there will be too many patches, which aren't that difficult to resolve anyway.
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • Error in Leave Approval Workflow

    Hello Experts,
    I'm Using Standard Workflow WS0040077 for Leave Approval . I Activated the Event Linkage in SWEL .Did General Task in Agent Assignment . But when i run transaction PA30 . i get this error in SAP Inbox.
    Following error occurred:

    RFC_NO_AUTHORITY
    Message text:
    Runtime error RFC_NO_AUTHORITY has occurred
    SAP System: EDV

    Event linkage not changed.
    Event stored temporarily.
    Events can be redelivered via event queue
    administration (transaction SWEQADM).
    so what should i do to solve this problem.

    Hi,
      Have you checked the workflow config in SWU3? It sounds like there may be a problem with the LOCAL RFC destination used by workflow. Click the 'Start Verification Workflow' button in SWU3 as a health check.
    Also, are you testing this in the right client?
    cheers

  • Multiple Leave Approval problem in workflow  WS21500001 -webdynpro

    hi,
    We are using standard webdyppro leave approval workflow WS21500001, but inhere does not provide multiple approval level.  Our requirement is we need two approval levels for this. So I copy the stranded workflow and create the second approval leave.  In here Iu2019m unable to send second approval document into the mailbox, I was write rule to get the second approver, its working fine but once the 1st approval  finished mail doesnu2019t go to the second approver inbox. Can you help me to do this?
    Regard,
    nawa

    Hello,
    Do you mean mail or workitem? I think you mean workitem.
    Use tx SWI1 to look at the workflow log and you'll see what the workflow is doing and why it's skipping the second approval step.

  • Unwanted leave approval notification mails to Non-Manager

    Hello All,
    I have a situation wherein one of our portal users started getting leave approval notification mails from other employees in that Org Unit. Now the interesting part is he is not a manager and never was. Checked his relationships, substitutes and delegations and every where it is normal and not supposed to receive such mails. Moreover we are not using workflows yet
    Where could we have gone wrong, after so many attempts now my I am gone blank so please do suggest me all tables or customizations where it could went wrong or possibly any silly mistakes that would trigger this kind of problems.

    Thanq, that was very prompt;
    Here are my settings in RPTARQEAIL.
    Send email to requestor with text HR_TIM_ARQ_REQUESTOR with general notification almost for all.
    But should I rather check the settings for mail to approver instead? Coz one of a non manager employee  is getting approver notification mail such as " your employees in your dept are awaiting for your processing..."
    Can you brief me out on why this document selection radio button could have gone wrong in sending mails to requestor regarding approvals.

    The BP we plan to use is Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1.
    My basic question is, we approve leave requests in BP for my SAP ERP (2004s) in the Universal worklist. How do we do the same in  Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1. There i sno mention on time approval and leave requests approval in the MSS standard documentation ( or probably i missed it).
    Any inputs in this regards are highly appreciated.
    regards

  • Automatic leave approval

    Hi Gurus,
    I am getting some problem in leave approval through workflow.
    While I am applying any leave through transaction PTARQ its s approved automatically as it should. But when I am doing the same in production it is not working. the status of leave is shown as sent (not approved). In workflow log is it showing that leave is processed without workflow . Whether the leave should be approved automatically. the workflow we are using is standard. pls let me know which setting I am missing because of that leave didn't go through workflow.

    Hi All
    Issue resolved. Actually IT0007 is not maintained for the suervisot. So leave is not approved automatically.
    Thanks All.
