Leave request in ESS problem

hi there,
we are planning to use ESS 'leave request' in our portal for users to enter their leave requests for holiday, illness, etc.....
we will have about 1200 users, but there is a big problem:
for some of the leave request-types like illness (and others) it is not possible that the user himself enters this information. so a reponsible person for the area (e.g. a secretary or someone else) have to enter the leave request for the other person. e.g. when the person is ill: the request for it MUST be entered the first day of the illness ! and the employee can't do it on his own, because he is of course ill and not at work.
is there a solution in ESS (SAP Netweaver 2004s 7.00, with backend HR ECC 6.0) ? i cant find anything. it is only possible to enter the OWN leave requests for the user which is logged on into the portal.
b. reg, Martin

Martin,
we have about 1200 employees here ! Illness (and other absence) MUST be entered by other persons then the employee himself. CATS is not working with that in ess-portal and also not the leave-request.
PA30 is an license-problem ! i can't allow users to use it............thats why we have a portal ! why should i let people enter leave-requests in the portal and other abscense in the backend ? thats a very bad thing ! very user-unfriendly !
best reg, Martin

While raising Leave Request on ESS: getting warning message displayed

Hi All,
When i am trying to raise a leave request from ESS i am getting the warning message displayed on the page as follows:
"Customizing for employee 00001153 does not exist"
I want this message to be removed.
Is this problem from R/3 end or any configuration needs to be done on ESS ?
Pls let me know how to remove this message.
Regards
Vijay

this message ensues when there is a missing customisation for the pernr, For example :
message is being displayed due to rule group customizing is missing
for a leave '0560' for which a leave record exists on the date
'14th March 2008'.
One possible solution would be to create a record in the customizing or delete the record from the application.
So please check the customisation of the absences, Quotas, rule group etc for this particular employee

BSP error while applying a Leave request in ESS

Dear Friends,
Reposting an issue which I posted earlier in ESS Forum as I didn't get solution there and the issue is more technical and moved towards Netweaver applications.
While applying a leave request in ESS portal, I am getting an error page saying Business Server Page error.
Checked related SPRO Nodes: Both ESS UI5 and ESS (Java) nodes. They are maintained. Being HCM Functional Consultant, this error I am not able to analyze anyway. So asking Portal /Netweaver experts here.
Error screen attached-
My earlier thread posted in ESS forum

Expecting a quick solution for this as I am stuck in this issue for last 4-5 days .

Intreperter Failed ERROR while cancelling leave request in ESS

Hi all,
We are facing this issue. When a person goes to ESS and tries to delete a wrongly raised leave request by pressing on trash button. We get a confirmation screen. In that after pressing on " Delete leave request" we get the following error
INTERPRETER FAILED
THE INTERNET TRANSACTION SERVER FAILED TO GENERATE THE RESPONSE FOR CURRENT REQUEST.
PLEASE CONTACT THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR.
INTERNAL ERROR CODE: 0X2101
NOTE : This issue is only with certain employees.
Can anybody guide what should be done so as to resolve the above said issue.
Thanks in advance.
Gowri Shankar.

Hi,
This means 'no such input', I assume the Business HTML interpreter is
searching for a template that does not exist...
If you are using the internal ITS you will find information in the related trace
file, for the stand alone ITS in the agateX_sapjulep.trc.
Alternatively you want to set ~generatedynpro temporarily in order to see
which screen should be processed.

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,
Prabhu

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?

Cancel leave requests via ess portal

hi experts,
i am very new to workflow so any help would be appreciated. can some one please provide a detailed step by step guide on how to create a workflow for canceling leave requests (must go thru manager's approval first before the cancellation to be applied) via portal?

Hi,
If you go with the standard, you don't have to create any workflow, you can use the existing one. The approach is exactly the same as implementing a workflow for new leave request. Basically in the SPRO you need to go to the ESS area and find the Leave request related configuration there. You will find that you can define for each absence type a workflow which will start (and you can define them both for new request and cancellation requests). With proper configuration, everything will work without any WF development effort.
If you find out that the standard solution does not fulfill the requirements, return to this thread for more detailed questions.

Sharepoint 2010 Infopath Leave request form Weird Problem

We have multiple sites on the same server. The individual sites are for different facilities in different states. All users belong to the same domain. The problem we have is that if a CA employees fills out a leave request on the site, and a manager
from MN attempts to accept the request, the radio buttons on the form are not greyed out but they are not clickable, the cursor does not change when over the buttons. Now if the same manager, attempts to accept a leave request from an employee in MN,
the form works fine. I have went through all of the security settings and groups in the two SharePoint sites and compared/matched settings. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Jon Peterson

Hi Jon, that's very strange. I would guess that the problem is in the form itself, not SP security. Do you have any rules set on the fields or form load? It's hard to troubleshoot without knowing more about how your form is set up.

Submitting the Leave Request from ESS into SAP r/3 system

Hi Gurus........
Can anyone let me know the standard BAPI/BAPIs that are to be called inside SAP system to submit the leave request and trigger the underlying Workflow if any?
Thanks In Advance.....
Abhi.....

Try transaction PTARQ
Ideally don't use this in live PRD as you do not want to cause any inconsistencies with existing data/workflow etc

Leave Request for ESS Portal WS12300111 Workflow Text

Hello workflow experts
I've been asked to enhance the standard Portal leave request workflow (WS12300111) so that instead of the generic text "General workflow for documents" the SWI2_FREQ transaction can show text with the requester's name to simplify any troubleshooting or auditing issues. For example, have the text show "Carl Robinson's Leave Request".
I've already tried doing this by copying the standard workflow and then placing a workflow container within the text, where the container should have the initiator's name. However, generated worflows do not show any text for this container, just an empty space. For example, current workflows show " 's Leave Request" when I would expect them to show something like "Juan Ramos's Leave Request". When I check the container values in the workflow log, the container does indeed contain the name value.
My suspicion is that since this workflow is not being triggered by an event, but rather through customizing and integration with the Portal, the text is being generated before the containers are populated with values. However, I can't be sure of this since the workflow log shows the containers filled already even when the text shows empty text. Is there a way to test this? Also, would anyone have suggestions on how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.
Regards and happy holidays,
Juan Ramos

Thank you all for the quick replies.
I followed a similar approach to Maorriyan's suggestion. I created the &NAME& container but it wasn't being populated. Instead I found a similar container under &REQ.INITIATOR.NAME&. This container populated the value correctly as soon as the organizational environment was refreshed.
Thanks all!
Points awarded.

Problem using workflow with ess leave requests

Hello, I have been experiencing some problems using wf for approval with leave request in ess.
I customized ws12300111 for request approval and it is working fine. But when we try to cancel a request in ess, there are strange things happening:
- If the request is in status sent: the workflow gets in error.
- If the request is already in db: it starts a new workflow (ws12300111).
We don't want this because we have customized ws12300111 only for new requests. I have tried to customize absences in SPRO so that onlu new requests start the WS12300111, Onlu new requests have the workflow field filled with 12300111, but even like that, the WS12300111 starts whenever that is a cancelling or modification of a request.
I have also tried using a different workflow for canceliing (WS12400007), but in this case there is an error in ess when we try to submit.
This is really annoying, I have tried everything...

Hello,
"If the request is in status sent: the workflow gets in error."
Please always say what the error is.
" If the request is already in db: it starts a new workflow (ws12300111"
You first have to find out how this is done. Look in SWEL, it's probably via some sort of CHANGED event.
