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?

HELP: Customizing ESS Leave Request for multiple entries in one submission

Hi experts,
I appreciate help on this urgent problem. We're on ECC6 with EP7. My customization requirements are below:
1) Allow multiple leave entries to be submitted at one go. Standard ESS only allows one date range entry per submission. We've customized the Webdynpro Leave request form to allow multiple entries in table form.
Assuming there's 3 requests:
R1 ~ 01-Oct-2007
R2 ~ 03-Oct-2007
R3 ~ 05-Oct-2007
Whenever user clicks 'New Entry' button, Webdynpro will call bapi PT_ARQ_REQUEST_PREPARE to generate a new request ID.
When user clicks on 'Review' button, I will loop at the requests internal table and check each of the entries, which is an individual request, via BAPI PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK. Am I doing correctly so far?
The checks return no error. Next comes the problem. When I click the 'Send' button, I will loop at the request IDs (in ascending order) into BAPI PT_ARQ_REQUEST_EXECUTE. I will get a dump, saying that the object cannot be found. Debugging shows that it cannot find the first request ID (R1) in the memory. I found that if I sort the request IDs in descending order, it will be able to find the last request (R3) and could process it. However, when it comes to the 2nd last request (R2), it will give me the same dump saying that object can't not found. Both R1 and R2 cannot be found whereas only R3 can be found.
In overview, the logic we adopted is like this:
1) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_PREPARE-CREATE (R1)
2) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK (R1) upon clicking 'New Entry' Button
3) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_PREPARE-CREATE (R2)
4) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK (R2) upon clicking 'New Entry' Button
5) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_PREPARE-CREATE (R3)
6) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK (R1, R2, R3) upon clicking 'Review' Button
7) Loop PT_ARQ_REQUEST_EXECUTE ( R3 - Returns OK, R2 - Returns object not found and terminates, R1 - not processed because execution terminated by R2).
Can anyone please advise me how I should go about changing the BAPIs? Or are the CLASSes/BADIs to be changed?
<b>Points will be rewarded for helping with this urgent requirement.</b> Thank you.
Regards,
Damien

Hi Kiran,
Thanks for replying. My guess initially was also that the requests are overwritten.
I heard of another company's implementation who did the same concept and was able to do it. Unfortunately, I'm unable to get any information from them.
Initially, my frontend programmer and I thought of adopting the 'dummy checks' methodology. i.e. Do dummy checks when clicking 'New entry' or 'Review' button. This is to ensure that the entries were entered correctly at front end. Only when the user clicks on the 'Send' button, my BAPIs take in a table of request entries and perform the Request_Prepare&Request_Check&Request_Execute one at a time.
This may be expensive as there will be double the processing needed. One set for dummy checks and one set for the actual backend processing.
Is there any way that I can create multiple requests in 'transcient' state so that it won't be overwritten and I can still find it when I call the BAPI PT_ARQ_PREPARE_EXECUTE? PT_ARQ_PREPARE_EXECUTE only takes in request IDs instead of request structures.
Thanks again, Kiran, for replying. Have a good weekend.

Damien

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.

Launch Leave Approver Application without using UWL

Hi
Feedback from initial UAT has been that the users find the UWL awkward to use and the leave approval process has too many steps. They would be happier if they could get to their list of leave applications requiring approval directly ie avoiding the UWL.
Is this possible? In portal content it is possible to open the Leave Approver iview directly and previewing the iview appears to be OK. However when I add this link into the Navigation in our custom MSS role and access through MSS the same iview appears to be blank.
Is it possible to access this application directly?
Regards

Just as an update we have managed to do this avoinding the UWL and it appears to work fine. Just created a new page with the leaver request approver iview on it. My initial problems with the link from the portal were down to my home page configuration and nothing to do with the fact that you need to use the UWL.
We do intend to use the UWL in the future when more functionality is incorporated, it just seemed overkill for one wrkflow application.

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.

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.

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

Flash player .msi fails to install, multiple entries in add remove programs cant be deleted

we are seeing installation failures when using the .msi installatoin file. We see an error 2753. The file 'InstallAX.exe' is not marked for installation. Also, we shoe multiple entries in Add/Remove Programs for Flash Player, but they cannot be removed from add/remove programs.
We have tried the Flash Uninstall program, but it will not remove them either.
We have tried installing using the .exe and it installs, but still leaves the old "ghost" entries in add/remove programs.
Any help in cleaning up this up and allowing us to use the .msi would be greatly appreciated.

Data in the cube is showing multiple entries when compared with ODS

Hello BW Gurus,
We have a waste report in production planning on Cube and ODS separately. The same info package loads both targets (which means same infosource) but when we run a report on Cube, the records are showing multiple entries (i.e. Key Figures are not matching when compared to ODS) where as the ODS records are showing correctly as it was in R/3. There are totally 6 key figures out of which 4 pulled from R/3 and 2 are populated in BW.
An Example:
Waste report in PP run for plant 1000 for 12/2005 and process order 123456. The operational scrap should be 2.46% and the component scrap should be 3.00% for material 10000000. The report is showing 7.87% for planned operational waste % and 9.6% for planned component waste %. These values are not correct. The ODS values for order 123456 matched the data in R/3 for component and operational scrap.
There is a Start routine to the ODS and also to the cube. I am not good at ABAP so requesting your Help.

some how the AGSU qyt is not populating in the cube and when I dbug the code, I could see a clean record in the internal table but not in the cube.
your suggestion and solutions would be highly appreciated.

Hi Swathi
In ODs we have option of overwriting and addition however in Cube we have only adition.Thats why you are getting multiple enteries.
If you are running daily full load on the cube then please delete the earlier requests.
So at one point of time there should be only one full load request in cube. Hope this will solve your problem.

Can I combine multiple entries into a single statement?

I am relatively new to Live Cycle so forgive my lack of technical wording.
I would like to use multiple entry fields to fill in a statement.
For example:
I'd like the user to see this:
Target Dropdown Endo Dropdown Type Dropdown Version # Entry Date 1 Entry Date 2 Entry
and then have the form merge all that together into a line that looks like this:
RS_(target)_(endo)_(type)\(version)_(date)_(date)
Preferably without repeating information on the page as we'll have multiple of these entries and the page will get hectic quick.
Is this possible?
I first had each dropdown in individual table fields, but due to regulations we follow the entries need to be merged without spaces.
I always have a backup if this can't be done, but any help is appreciated.

Not sure where you're sending it, but if you have a global variable named "bob".
bob.value = "RS_"+target.rawValue+"_"+endo.rawValue+"_"+type.rawValue+"\"+version.rawValue+"_"+date.r awValue+"_"+date2.rawValue;
Something like that should work.

HT4528 Calendar under IOS7.0.2 has been changed. does not work the same. what happened to LIST mode (multiple entries being displayed in list format) or am i doing something wrong?

I got use to using Calendar app where multiple entries are stacked under IOS6. Under iOS7.0.2 I enter a new appointment and after the entry I can not find the new appointment after i click on done. Am I doing something incorrect HELP!

The list view does not appear to be among the "standard views" for the Calendar app in iOS 7.0.x. You can still get the list view by going to the day view and hitting the search button (magnifying glass icon).
