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 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 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.

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.

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,
SMrinal

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.

ESS Leave Approval: No authorization to start service

Hello,
User is not able to approve leave requests of sub-ordinates.
When user clicks on Approve or Reject button, nothing happens.
But when I checked in Default trace, I found below error:
You do not have the authorization to start service
sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequestApprover.
[EXCEPTION]
I checked portal content permissions for this user and found that those
are ok.
In ECC there is no dump (ST22) related to authorization.
Can you please suggest the solution.
Regards,
Vinod

Hello Karthik and Vivek,
Thanks for replies. But we have created ZMSS role in ECC which is assigned to all managers.
For all other managers the leave approval is working fine. The problem is with only 1 user.
So I dont think there is any issue in ECC authorizations.
Also there is no ABAP dump. Is there any other way like some trace from where we ll come to know about the missing authorization.
With Best Regards,
Vinod Patil

ESS Leave Approver

Dear All,
I hv a problem regarding leave approval.
There are two Employees A & B.Both of them belong to same PA & PSA and their approver is same.
When I run report(PTARQ-Leave Approver) to know their approver I get the approver of A and not B.
The rule group for A is as follows:
PERNR -WEBMO - MOABW - MOZKO - MOPGK - MOBDE - ZEITY ( Working Fine)
A - 1 - 7 -7 -2 -1 - 2
The rule group for B is as follows:
PERNR -WEBMO - MOABW - MOZKO - MOPGK - MOBDE - ZEITY ( Not showing Approver Name)
B - 1 - 7 -7 -1 -1 - 2
Plz let me know the solution regarding any config changes for leave approval.
Thanks & Regards,
Param

Hi,
To check the approver of employee B, go to PP01 and check the reporting relationship between Position of B and Position of the Approver. If the relationship exists, that means, Approver will appear on ESS

Leave Approver in ESS

Dear All,
I am facing some problem in the Leave Approver:
Employee A was previously reporting to Manager B.
Now Employee A is reporting to Manager C.
I have maintained the reporting relationship in the position for Employee A.( A reports to C -> It is Ok).
But when I execute the report RPTREQAPPRCHK, the system is picking up his old manager :
1. Check Applicaiton Function - It shows A reports to B (which is not right as per our expections)
2. Check Basis Function - It shows A reports to C (which is OK).
I have maintained the following values in the table V_PTARQ_TPROCESS
--> Determine Next Agent = MNGR Line Manager.
While applying for leave the approver for Emp A is still displayed as Manager B.( it should be Manager C).
Please let me know if any extra config is required for this?
Thanks & Regards,
Param

Param,
You have to get the workflow refreshed for that. As the Determine Next Agent would have already determined the old Manager and kept it in the cache. See the date on which the Agent Determination has taken place in the Workflow for that Task. If the Agent determiantion has taken place before the transfer then you have ask you workflow adminstrator to correct the workflow with the new manager details or kill that task and re-execute the branch of that task again.
Hope this helps.
cheers, Bharath.

Leave approved in Portal is not getting updated in Infotype 2001

Hello,
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
Desy

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 ?

Time/LEave approval in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1

Hi all,
Currently implementing ESS MSS on 4.7 system with EP 6.0 SP19.
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
Sam

Balaji,
in mySAP we had the opition to lauunch the applications in web dynpro. like launch leave approval in web dynpro. do we have this kind of optiion where the manager can approve the work item on the portal application or will it call a transaction based iview to open the work item in the R/3
regards
Sam

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

Populate cost centre in IT 2001 via Leave application submitted through ESS

Gurus,
we have a scenario to populate CC in "Cost Assignment" Tab of IT 2001, when a leave is submitted via ESS. Now we have enabled the additional fileds on ESS and when leave application iView is opened, the CC field is displayed and is defaulted with a CC through an User Exit. But when this leave is approved and posted to IT 2001, the Cost Assignment tab is not populated. However the CC value is very much available in the intermediate table "ptarq_extra_info".
Basically, the CC to be stored in table ASSOB ASSHR.
Many thanks.
Sid
