Leave Request - Configuration

Hi All,
We are using ESS/MSS 1.0, Webdynpro 600 with EP 7.0 and ECC 6.0.
Can anybody please tell me....how to go ahead with configuration of leave request in ESS. We are going to use the standard ones itselfs. No customization.
Please throw some light regarding the same. Any help in this regards would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Anil Kumar

if you know the workflow id/task id you can go to Tcode:SWDD or PFTC to view it.
if you dont know the id, and if the wokflow is activated in the system you can go to tcode:SWETYPV or SWE2 and see the workflows against the business object type :ABSENCE.
if this is not what u want them revert back with clear description of your query.

ESS Leave Request Configuration

How to configure leave request?
What are the Workflows for this?
How to activate the corresponding WorkFlows?
Can i get these alerts in the universal Work List?
Can any one explain Step By Step Procedure for doing this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Check SWU3 for Initial Workflow Settings,
If Your ESS package is deployed well then you need not
worry about the default worklfow it will be there without any
configurations(WS12300111).
To maintain Absence quota take help of a Time consultant,
You could try in PA30 aswell.
Regarding the leave request workitem just Check the event
trace whether the workflow is triggered using SWEL.
You can check the transaction SWWL(Delete workitem)
also for cheking the workflow log and container elements.
If you found the workitem in the log then the problem would be
with your UWL. then you have to check SWFVISU to ensure
task has been configured and If not then configure it and
re-register the UWL in EP.

Line Manager (A002) remains default approver in leave request, despite determining different agent through WF.

Hello Experts
I am facing a issue in Leave Request.
I have requirement where for a leave, HR should be the approver not Manager.
I have determined the approver through Rule, and used a FM which modifies ACTOR_TAB internal table which is passed to the Task.
When a request is raised, I can see only HR as an agent in workflow log. Thats correct.
But If I go to Manager's inbox, request is sent to Manager as well for approval.
He is not there in agent log.
But then I checked the container element "Req". It shows Manager's userid as approver.
I dont want Manager to receive any request by default. I can determine through WF.
Can anyone help me remove Manager as Default approver.
Thanks

for your scenario check your configuration in Table V_PTARQ_TPROCESS as proposed above but in this case you need to use the BADI as above refer here http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/Leave+request+Configuration+steps http://scn.sap.com/thread/1349663

ESS Leave Request Workflow Configuration

Hi Experts,
I Have ESS & MSS setup with mySAP ERP 2005 ECC 6.0, i have made the required configuration for absences, i assumed that leave requests should automatically be forwarded to the person with cheif position in the department, Now hwen an employee applies for a leave request i check the MSS UWL and nothing is appearing.
My question is do i have to maintain any configuration in terms of workflow or is it automatically configured if PA & Om integration is active ?
Points will be rewarded for any help..
Regards,
Ahmed Salah

Ok follow this path
Tools --> Business Workflow --> Development --> Tasks/Task Groups --> Change
Task type = Workflow template
Task = 12300111
Click on Change
Click on Workflow Builder.
Click on Process request by Employee.
Click on Task Properties (Agent assignment)
In Maintain Agent assignment,
See for Process Leave Request by Employee , add General Task.
Then click on the Update Index.
Hope this works for you.
Cheers!!!

Configuring the attaching of documents to leave request

Hi All,
The current leave request in ESS was not configured to upload any supporting documents. The cleint now want to have the functionality to attach doctors notes, or any additional documents to the leave request. Please advise on the procedure for doing that with or without DMS. We need to expolore the 2 options.
Regards,

A Pages '08 or earlier document is actually a package, a special kind of folder that appears as a single file, but isn't. You can't e-mail a folder which is why many mail clients balk. Apple Mail will automatically zip a folder, other e-mail clients don't, especially web-based e-mail. In the Finder, Control- or right-click on the Pages document & choose Create Archive… (Tiger) or Compress… (Leopard) from the contextual menu. You will now have a zipped Pages document that you can attach to your e-mail & send.
Your recipient must have Pages to be able to open your Pages file. If s/he doesn't, you can export the Pages document as Word or PDF & send that.
Pages 4/iWork '09 now saves a flat file by default (it can also save as a package). There is a Share menu that has the option to e-mail the document as Pages, Word or PDF.

How to configure and test workflow for Creating Leave Request

Hi,
When I select leave request iView in portals I get an R/3 screen titled "Create Leave Request".And when I fill in the details for approver and press send I get this error message "You are not one of the possible agents of the task".
So help required to configure and test the workflow behind Create leave request iView.
Regards,
Pavanmeet.

Pavanmeet,
you have to set all activities in the workflow to "general task" as well, not only for WS12300111 itself (doubleclick on each symbol with the "triangle").
check the status of the sent leave request in transaction PTARQ (Display Documents). Here the "next agent" & the "pers. no" of the next agent is of interest.
logon with the user, that is saved in infotype 0105 of the above mentioned pers.no. there should be the approve request.
you can check the status of the workitems with SWI1 (i assume your system is prepared for workflows , check SWU3)

Adding new data to leave request DropDown

Hi,
We have deployed ESS 1.0 BP. In leave request application we select the leave request type(PL, CL, SL) from drop down menu.
Here privelige Leave is by default selected... but we need to remove PL from default and add hipen(-) so that user has to compulsory select the leave type from drop Down,
Now the problem is as this list comes from R3 .. so how can we add new item to this drop down menu. Whether its needed to be done R3 side or do i need to modify Leave request Application. If i need to modify this leave request application than h0w can append hipen to the already list coming in drop down menu...
Can any person specify in detail from where this configuration is needed to be done..?
Regards,
Jigar OZa

Check this thread
Re: Regarding control of leave types in the dropdown in ESS screen
Try this from thread
You can add the leave type that you want to get displayed in ESS in SPRO setting .

Function modules to create leave request?

Hi experts,
In my project I need to create a leave request and trigger workflow for approval. Do you know any function modules existed for this purpose? Or shall we need to create workflow and attach it with inserting IT2001 records?
Thanks a lot.

Are you going to use standard SAP Portal application for leave or not?
If yes there are documents available about ESS configuration for the same and you can assign the standard workflow or copy and make the required chnages then assign it in configuration.

Multiple leave requests on the same day

We would like to enforce a check so that multiple leave requests of the same type cannot be submitted for the same day on ESS.
How can this be achieved ? We are on EP 7.0 and ECC 6.0 and are using webdynpro java version of the ESS applications.
Any configuration available for this or does this require a BADI implementation ?
Thanks in advance.
Thank You,
Raj

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/ValidationsforESSLeaverequest
read here, it requies a badi implementation only, no config is available!
You have to call backend exits from the badi of leave request

Team Calender in Leave Request Application

Hi Experts,
ERP2004 SP17, EP6.0 SP20, ESS/MSS SP17
I am trying to configure the leave request application. I see a link in the "Show team calender" in the application. I configured according the documentation in spro>personal Management>Employee Self Serivce>service specific settings>working time>leave request.
the documentation is like this In "layout of web application">select employees for team calender:
5. Select the employees whose absences you want to display in the team calendar. You first have to enter one of two grouping characteristics in the View/Grp field:
If you use the Manager Self-Service (MSS) or Employee Self- Service (ESS) components at your enterprise, you will probably use the view groups. They are based on employees organizational assignments.
If you use the Time Managers Workplace (TMW), you probably use grouping IDs.
You now have to select the employees whom you want to display in the team calendar. To do so, enter the required view group or grouping ID in the relevant field.
However I do not know where to create a "GROUPING ID". I have added the view group. but the field "GROUPING ID" is blank in the customization. May be this is required to display employees in team calender.
Could you help me how to get employees in Team Calender.
your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

ECC 6.0 leave request attendence overview

Please can someone help me how to configure the field "status" in my ESS leave request attendence overview in ECC6.0?
I'm using a leave request scenario without approval and the status of my posted absences in infotype 2001 show the status "informed". From a proces point this status makes no sense.
Already thanks for reading. Hope for a solution.
Robbert Bastiaans

Hello,
I would definitely say for you to have a look at the BADI PT_GEN_REQ. Also verify the implementation of your PT_ABS_REQ.
