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.

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • 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

  • Error  - While changing existing leave request from ESS

    We are trying to use the standard leave request application in ESS/MSS. The basic required standard configurations are done. Since we wanted custom notifications, the related workflow is copied into custom workflow and we have included required custom notifications. The custom workflow is also configured properly.
    Now, the standard functionalities like making leave request, triggering notifications, approving leave request and posting information into backend are working fine from the ESS/MSS.
    When the employee tries to change the existing leave request (before approval) from ESS, at the 2nd step (Review and Send), it is displaying one error message General task: can be edited by all users. But, it still allows submitting the records.
    Once it is submitted, the system throws one java error at the final step (after pressing SEND button) u2013 Failed to process request. Please contact your system administrator. - java.lang.NullPointerException. The complete error information is provided in the attached word document. Even though, it throws error the submitted data is getting saved into the backend.
    Please help to solve this issue.
    Thanks,

    What custom notifications you require in leave request? We have all available in standard using Rptarqemail
    First of all, the WF task should be set as
    General task: can be edited by all users, which you have done presumably under task classification
    Now, for checking purposes, can you check with standard WF in table v_t554s_web for one absence only?
    ie WS12300111.
    Please test this and let us know if you have errors
    Also please check your custom WF whether it is working correctly or not?

  • 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

  • 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

  • Custom Leave approval task problem

    Dear All,
       I have a problem with my custom leave approval webdynpro task.
      Actually I was using standard task , TS12300097 for leave approval. It was working fine from SAP worklist from portal. If someone tries to approve from SAP R/3 it was providing an information like, this cannot be executed from SAP R/3.
      I had a requirement to add certain custom fields information to the task description, so I copied and created a new task similar to that and added the containers and filled the description to that. Then i cofigured the new task in SWFVISU also. It working fine from enterprise portal sap worklist.
      But some tries to approve from SAP Inbox in R/3 the workflow results in error. Its not providing the same information which was coming earlier with standard task.
    The error is as follow :
    Work item 000000885207: Object CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS method DUMMY cannot be executed
    Dereferencing of the NULL reference
    Dereferencing of the NULL reference
    Error handling for work item 000000885207
    Let me how we can solve this issue.
    regards,
    Sabari Prabhu.

    We are changing our Leave Request workflow, and I also came across this problem while testing.
    In our situation, the problem is that we changed the approval task.  We used to have it as a call to report RPTARQAPP, but then changed back to the standard method of calling CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS DUMMY.
    For us, it is only the old work items that go into error if the user tries to execute them in R/3.  If the workflow is then re-started, the item is once again available and can be processed in the UWL.  New work items come back with the pop-up message "The request cannot be started from the Business Workplace", like in the standard workflow.
    I think we will just add some encouraging wording to the task so that people will (hopefully) not attempt to execute the work items in R/3, like this:
    Please log on to ESS to approve this Leave Request through the Universal Worklist (UWL).
    It is not possible to complete this work item from within R/3, DO NOT execute this work item here.
    Once you have processed the request in ESS, this work item will automatically be completed.
    Good luck

  • ESS Timesheet Approval from ESS

    Whenever employee creates a timesheet request.The workitem sent to Manager to approve the timesheet records.But when Manager opens the workitem regarding timesheet approval through ESS ,he see all timesheet records of all employees who are reporting to him.
    But when we open the same workitem through SBWP it shows onli leave records of the employee related with the workitem not all the reportees.We want same functionality through ESS UWL.
    I have checked the configuration related with approval views.
    "Define Profiles and Assign to Views" It seems fine.
