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.

Leave Approval in MSS/ESS

Hi All
I have a problem. I have configured ESS/MSS for my client. In the leave request section, an employee can apply for a leave. For approval, the default approving authority is visible.When a leave is applied, the system shows that it has been successfuly applied.Even the qouta is deducted.But where does this request go for appoval?
when logged on by the approver with his own id in MSS, nothing is visible.
So where is the approval done?Is it in Business Workplace or in MSS.
Please help and let me know what config is required.

First of all check whether the leave request was routed to the
user you mention, UWL is nothing but a front end view
of SBWP, What items you see in UWL are available in SBWP
You can see the Leave Request Work items in SBWP
but cant execute them as it is a java application

Leave approval through MSS

Hi Experts,
Through MSS can we allow staff (e.g. secretary) to approve leave records on behalf of managers?If its possible? pl explain the process.Awaiting for your positive reply at the earliest.
Regards,
Sai

If the manager wants to assign the responsibility of approving the leave request tyo someone else, he can adopt the substitution. look in the Business Workplace.

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?

3. In detailed navigation click on the UWL & Workflow folder
to expand out
4. Then click on the Universal Worklist Administration link

Display only one variable in the header and not column in WAD

Hi All,
my requirement is to be able to display only one variable in the report output header and hide the others. I am able to display all by using the INFO FIELD ITEM and saying variable display ON - but the requirement is very specific for only one variable display.
how can i achieve this ?
Thanks,
Shweta

Hi,
You can insert a text item and Turn off the others or Hide these from Filter pane I have done that and then use that query for your WAD.
Steps:
1. Uncheck all the variables from your Design item in Analyzer.
2. Insert a New Text Item and check the Variable you want to display.
3. Go back and run the Query.
Even you can change the position in the Query and Save as a workbook.Let me know ,if this works.

Make Scrap portion field in production order header as display only

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to make scrap field(CAUFVD-GASMG) in production order header as display field only. We do not want users to enter any values here to denote the quantity scrapped in production orders. I am not aware of any configuration to make this field as display only. Please let me know which user exit or BADI available for this purpose. We do not want to use any screen variants and transaction variants and would like to restrict this at order type or plant level.
Thanks
Rijil

Hello Rijil,
If not with variants than check with enhancement.

CATS Approval in MSS - same error, other issue?

I've checked the table TPT_FIELD_SEL_C between development and our testing environment and they are the same.
The only special thing is that we don't use the standard SAP_LINE approval view (see IMG), but our own custom one. The SLIN is not configured ok, but our own "ZLIN" fields are configured ok (into table TPT_FIELD_SEL_C).
Has anybody an idea?

I think we have got similar issue and raised an OSS message and the reply we got
This happens due to the missing customisation in Mss.
ie Configuration for screen areas CTS and CTD is missing. View
V_PT_FIELD_SEL is meant to hold the relevant information.
Please have a look at the client 000 for the default customisation.
So, What you need to do is write table TPT_FIELD_SEL_C on a transport
and transport it to client . You will then have all the setting
you need for the application to work.
Also,
The solution is to write down all the
technical field-names from view groups CTS and CTD in table TPT_FIELD_S
EL_C, then use the config area to select the fields properly. This overwrites the TPT_FIELD_SEL_C table entries with ones that have the "tabname" populated! The application will now work as expected.
Please try producing a new transport of the entire table TPT_FIELD_SEL_Cas R3TR TABU with appropriate key and transport to yor system, you
should choose to overwrite the destination table. Please let us know
the result after.
Please check the customisation for MSS approval.
SAP_LINE: Model approval view for line managers. It groups recorded data according to the employees assigned to the line manager.
For example the above view has been defined? or you can adapt to your
needs.
Can you try to import the transport again but make sure that "overwrite
orginals" in the OPTIONS tab is selected?
Transactrion SE01
Select create a the workbench request.
then doble click into the request
and push the button Display/Change
Enter here the entry "R3TR TABU TPT_FIELD_SEL_C"
Push enter
Then one icon with a Key appear
Push the key and enter * for all the table entries or select the
each one that you need.
If the changes are correctly available then it will work correctly
Please ensure that the transport is done correctly
Thanks

Approving the top approver in MSS

Hello,
I have a client, who wants the top level of thier org structure, (the Chief Exec) to have their Expenses and Leave requests in MSS to be approved by somebody beneath them in the Org Structure (as there is no-one above to approve!).
Does anyone know of a structural authorisation that will allow this that we can assign just to the approver?
Many thanks
Mark Stanley
Serco

Hello,
Please maintain this 'CL_HRASR00_POBJ_WF_EXIT' in the workflow exit for the specific task and also at the workflow header level.
Execute the process and if still error occurs, check for HCM P&F authorization and if it is fine, then check if the case settings are maintained correctly.
you can find the case configuration in HCM P&F help docu.
hope this helps.

Standard Work flow for Leave approval in HR module

Hi ,
My query is there any standard work flow available in HR module for Leave approval and Over time approval. We have negative time management and with out ESS and MSS.
Pl suggest if any one has used this earlier with out ESS or EP
Regards
Punit

I can think of the following but not without enhancement for the workflow part.
- Since you are not using ESS, you (leave admin) may create the absence record directly in IT2001 (in LOCK mode).
- In the user exit of 2001 you may trigger your Workflow process (i.e. call the function module to trigger WF here) depending on the LCCK status. You have to explore if standard WF can be used to your requirement.
- Upon approval, you can UNLOCK the absence.
- In the event that UNLOCK is unsuccessful, trigger WF to your Leave Admin for him to update via PA30.
Standard SAP Workflow
- Only 1 level approval
- Using Chief Position
IF your workflow requirement deviates, then you have to also customize workflow, does not matter whether you are using ESS or not.
Finally test and retest to make sure all possible events are covered.
OT is the same, except that you need to use 2007 vs 2002

ESS attendance/absecen category code display only

Hello,
We need to displays only the attendance code only with no textual description when recording time.
When recording time for the employee through MSS (historically known as "ESS in MSS") using Java iview Approve Working Times in Business Package for Manager Self-Service (SAP ERP) 1.4. works OK we can see it displays the attendance code only with no texttual description.
But is not the same case when recording time directly from ESS using iwiew CATS regular/Record Working Time in Business Package for Employee Self-Service 1.41 is not OK beacise it shows code + textual description.
Is there a way in configuration or user-exit could change the ESS recording time displays the attendance code?

I am using the standard WF - WS12300111 for Leave Request in the Portal.
The workflow is working fine in the portal; Manager could approve / reject the leave request in MSS and it is updating the portal Team calendar and ESS Employee Leave details.
However the approved leave is not getting updated in the Absence infotype 2001 in the back-end system.
Could you help ?
Kind Regards

Program (SE38) - RPTARQPOST has to be scheduled in order to update the status of leave requests and post to PA2001 after they have been approved.
Is there any other way ?
