Leave request in Work flow

Dear All
Could you please throw a light on this Leave approval through Work flow . leave request should goes to concern supervisor how we can configure in the SAP could you please tel me is it relating to functional or technical
1 if the concern supervisor is not available can we assign to another alter person to approve ?
2 if the concern person is not using mails can that leave request goes to supervisor mobile ?
3 if any person is taken leave with out informing , once he come to the office after leave can we send the leave request of past dates of what he already utilised ?

hi
TO make use of Leave request worflow , there is a SAP delivered template 12300111 , which can be utilized for leave approval.
1 if the concern supervisor is not available can we assign to another alter person to approve ?
there are 2 methods to handle this, 1 is that the concerned supervisor can make a substituion rule in portal , 2 , you will have to implement deadline monitoring in your workflow.
2 if the concern person is not using mails can that leave request goes to supervisor mobile ?
the supervisor can logon to portal using mobile , if he has a smartphone device. , ya mobile approvals are possible .
3 if any person is taken leave with out informing , once he come to the office after leave can we send the leave request of past dates of what he already utilised ?
ya you can do this scenario , only payroll related things need to be checked in this case.

Leave Regularization_ESS portal_HR work flow inbox_ Error

Hi,
When an employee applies for leave through the SAP ESS portal, the leave request flows to the Immediate Superior for approval.
However, the Time Admin fails to receive the leave request (after approval of Immediate superior) in the HR workflow inbox although the ID is maintained as Time Admin in SAP.
I have also checked the Administrator group & the feature PINCH. Both have been maintained correctly.
Request to pls help with this issue.
Best Regards,
Amey

Thanks for the response...
The issue is only occurring for the ZIP file extention . we are able to open the document in other files extentions from UWL inbox(portal).
We have checked few more threads in SDN & got some link mentiioing the Tcode :- DC20 and DC30 (related to file extension) . As explained in the Tcode DC20 and DC30 . the file extention entries has to be maintained.
We have made the entry of ZIP file in the DC20 & DC30 but still we are getting the same error. I think we are missing some entries to fill.
It would be great if you can suggest regarding this issue...
Is this is the cause of the issue ?
Appreciate your help.....
Cheers:)

ESS screen customization, Leave configuration and work flow.

Dear Experts,
We are planning to migrate Leave application from ESS java based application to ESS WDA . I know that homepage customization is replaced by Launchpad in WDA, So here are my questions,
1. how to change the overview screen like Area , subarea pages and there description and also to hide links which are not required (marked in attachment).
2. How to change properties of an iview ie Create leave request (on selecting creating leave request it gets opened in separate window but it also include employee welcome screen and navigation menu all over again)
3. Where would I get documentations related to leave application with WDA and how setup workflow with three levels of approvals.
Please revert with your valuable feedback. Thanks in advance.
Ajaykumar

1. In the launch pad lpd_cust, you can add folders, applications etc through which we can get output like what u requested.
       If u don't want any app, u can add it to inactive applications or remove it.
       If it has to be hidden dynamically then from the badi we can achieve it.
2. Opening iView in new window/same window/with or without masthead etc is part of portal parameters for the lpd application, where u can configure it.
3. Help.sap.com is best and also in scn u can get lot of additional informations

to include this we need to maintain a container variable but what should be the method or abap dic object which has to be used for maintaining this leave request type container

Hi,
You can create and take where you pass leave type and get description of it and create an field in WF containr and fill it than you can use add that field when you are sending notification,.

ESS/MSS: Approve Leave Request in UWL - not working

Hi to all,
we are using web dynpro ESS/ MSS (SAPESS07_12/ SAPMSS07_4) in portal NW04s for mySAP ERP2005 and are using UWL in order to approve leave requests. If employees are creating leave requests, everything works fine. After that the manager opens the leave request in UWL, the web dynpro application is openening succesfully and after some clicks he reaches the buttons to approve or reject the leave request. But by pushing one of them the following messages occures :
Workitem 000000000000 Cannot be read
After pushing the button again, another message comes up:
No Customizing for status typ ARQ, Status approved...
By the way, the same errors also come up when the employee wants to delete his leave request which is not approved.
Any ideas, what can be the reason?
Regards,
Frank

Hi Ashutosh,
I have found the reason. The user WF - Batch in sap erp, which is using the RFC Destination for workflow, was locked. Well, it is a a little bit strange for a cummunication user that he becomes locked. Unlocked him, now all works.
Thanks for your support.

Time Constraints on ESS - Record Working Time and Leave Request

Hi All,
I have configured Time Constraints and their reaction in V_T554Y.
When I record the appropriate combination of Attendances and Absences in back-end, I can see the reactions as specified... However, when I try to do the same in ESS - Recording Working Time and Leave Request, I do not see that Time Constraints taking effect on the front end.
Here is what I have done:
I have two attendance - P001 and P002. P001 is configured to be recorded on Leave Request where as P002 is configured to be recorded via Record Working Time (CATS) link.
I record the attendance P001 in Leave Request and also post that into infotypes. After this, I try to record P002 in the Record Working Time Screen and I still get errors (Errors are from: HRTIM00REC E/207 and LR E/335)
If I try to replicate the same in the back-end in IT20002, then there is no issues.
Can anyone help and let me know how we can implement the same Time constraints reactions on the front-end and the back-end.
Thanks a bunch
- Harshal

Note that Time constraints are not valid for Leave request and Working time ie in ESS
it only comes via PA30
in CATS too, we dont follow much HR related collisions checks these are taken into consideration during CAT6
and in leave request via Rptarqpost
so its not gonna work, Its intended and correct! go for a user exit cats0003 or check cac1 profile customisation

ESS Leave request screen giving a critical Error in production server

Friends,
We are in a critical face of ESS implemetation.
We are doing an ESS MSS implementation for country grouping 99.
When we moved our changes to production server after succesful testing in quality, getting the following Critical error for Leave Request Screen.

Other areas like personal Info & who is who are working fine.
Leave request was working fine in Development and Quality servers and it never worked in Production server.
It worked fine with same config, with same master data and same employee & org structure in quality server.
We tried the following things:
1. Checked and confirmed the sequence of transports for configs and Developments to Quality and Production.
Even compared the table level entries and ABAP codings B/n dev and Production. All are same.
2. Moved the workflow changes to production and activated the same. No change found after that.
3. Gave SAP all authorization in R/3 and full authorization from portal side as well.
4. Assigned the userid to different employees and checked the masterdata of employees.
5. Checked the note 1388426.Every thing mentioned in the note is there in the system.
6. Verified Rule groups and WEBMO feature are correct and same as in quality.
As our go live date is very near, request your help .Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Please find the following setting for configuration .
Goto SPRO then follow following path
Personnel Management - > Employee Self-Service -> Service-Specific Settings -> Working Time -> Leave Request -> Processing Processes
Create Rule Groups
1st you need to create the role group ( following is E.g )
Role group              : 00000001
Name of Role group : SAP Standard
Define Processing Processes for Each Rule Group (following is E.g)
Role group              : 00000001
Name of Role group : SAP Standard
Start Date               : 01.01.1800
End Date               : 31.12.9999
Specify Processing Processes for Types of Leave ( for E.g )
(click up on new entry )
Role group              : 00000001
Name of Role group : SAP Standard
PSG                       : 01
A/AType                 : 0420
Type Text               : Seminar/course/training
Start Date               : 01.01.1800
End Date               : 31.12.9999
then once you make entri here you need to click up on details ( select that row then Ctrl + Shift + F2 )
then it will open change view of Processing Processes for Types of Leave ( here this screen for absene type 0420 )
in this screen
Start date in the Past
Put radio button on "Processing Permited to Rec. limit".
start date is the current date
Put radio button on "Processing is perminted"
Start date in the Future
put radio button "unrecstrikt processs is perminted"
tick mark at Display field next ....
tick makk to request may ..........
system response
tick mark "request has to be aproved'
like this you can make the SPRO setting for other leave othere than 0420 ..in the "Specify Processing Processes for Types of Leave"

Error in ESS Szenario leave request after rejecting leave

Hi folks,
we getting an error in the ESS leave request application with using the workflow (WS12300111).
We have EP7 SP11 wit ESS/MSS 600 SP7 (for ERP2005) . All ESS/MSS services/webdynpros are deployed without errors.
If an employee takes holiday with the leave request and the manager rejects this leave request, a work item is created in the UWL box of the employee. Processing this work item leads to the following error:
Application error occurred during request processing. Details:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.core.DispatcherException: The requested deployable object 'com.sap/ess~lea' and application 'LeaveRequest' are not deployed on the server. Please check the used URL for typos.
Exception id: [C0000A7D0192002A0000000400000B7E000431AA883F1DCE]
But the application is ready deployed (the employee take this appl- to create the leave request
In the ERp2005 / HCM customizing, transaction SWFVISU the approval task TS12300097 uses application "LeaveRequestApprover" is working fine.
TS12300116 uses application "LeaveRequest" leads to this error... :-(((
Does any body have an Idea ??
Please help!
Thx mario

Hi Mark,
yes something like that - we solved this with a tipp from OSS/ SAP..
Using transaction SWFVISU, check the following entries and correct
these
where required:
TS12300097 Java WebDynpro
APPLICATION LeaveRequestApprover
---> CHECK THESE PACKAGE sap.com/ess~lea
TS12300116 Java WebDynpro
APPLICATION LeaveRequest
>CHECK THESE PACKAGE sap.com/ess~lea
The WF item who was running o.k. (check leave request) had the wrong entries :
TS12300097 Java WebDynpro
APPLICATION LeaveRequestApprover
---> CHECK THESE PACKAGE sap.com/ess~lea -> was com.sap ...
After changing this to sap.com -> the other service who had the error
runs now O.K. !! This problem was only on the EP7 system SP12 and
ESS/MSS SP8..other Portal system with NW7SP11 ESS/MSS SP6 had this
error not...

Webdynpro - Leave Request Approval

Hi Colleagues,
We have implemented the mysaperp2005 ESS business package on EP7. Portal is working, leave request is working, workflows trigger and open in UWL, UWL looks OK.
However the button to execute the workflow, "Launch Webdynpro", launches the wrong URL for Leave Approval.
It gets the Port wrong using 8032
http://ourserver.com:8032/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequestApprover
Should be port 53300
http://ourserver.com:53300/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequestApprover
Cannot find where 8032 is comming from, can can't find any config for this in the LeaveRequestApprover iView properties or anywhere else. Checked every property of the LeaveRequestApprover versus LevaeRequest iView: identical.

Jimmy.

Hello all,
we solved this issue with applying the following patch:
Patch for SAP ESS 600 Support Package 11
which you can download from SAP Service Marketplace at:

     -> SAP Application Components
          -> SAP ERP
               -> SAP ERP 2005

                              -> SAP ESS 600
                                   -> #OS independent

After applying those two patches everything was fine.

ESS leave request - Unable to send request

Hi ,
We are trying to implement ESS(webdynpro based)BP with ECC 5 as the backend system...
When we try to raise a leave request ,
in case of anuual leave - we get the error "unable to raise request"
In case of casual leave we get 1.Unable to send request
2.You are not one of the possible agents of task WS12300111 .
Leave request is working from the ECC side.
Please advice..

Issue with ESS Leave request workflow - Deleting a leave request

Hi friends,
This is my scenario: An employee has created a leave request from ESS - Leave Request Workflow(Copy of WS12300111) gets triggered and work item gets created in manager's UWL. After that the employee realizes he has created a wrong leave request so he deletes that leave request from ESS. In this case the workflow instance which got triggered when he created the leave request is under process and the work item stays in the Manager's UWL( there is no terminating event or wait for event step in the approval step of workflow WS12300111), when the Manger opens that work item it shows a blank column, ideally speaking when the leave request is deleted by the employee the work item in the manger's UWL should be logically deleted and the workflow should complete, but this part is not handled in the standard workflow WS12300111as well. How to handle this case. I can put a wait for event or a condition to complete a work item at the approval step but i would like to know how the standard ESS leave request framework works in this case. Please advice.

Hi sapient
This is not handled in std. You have clear the next processor in your in method then only the work item will get vanished from the UWL. For clearting the next processor either you can create a method in your BOR and get the request id. For the request id get the max version and clear the next processor or in the BADI you have wirte your own logic when the change happens what you have to do. This logic has to be written in you BADI. I thing BADI will start with PT_ check with that name in se18
You cannot use wait for event or terminating event since its not R/3 workflow its ESS workflow you cannot use ternminating event or wait step.
