Leave request workflow in ESS ?

hi there
we plan to use the ess scensario for leave request entered by employees in our portal (netweaver 2004'S 7.00, with backend ECC 6.0).
i have a problem with the workflow behind it: i want to send an email to the person who must approve the leave request.
in standard there is of course a email, but only with a link to the business workplace inbox. as this is very user-unfriendly i want to add a link to the email which DIRECTLY gets to the leave request for approving.
is there a possiblility ?
b. reg, Martin

Hi ,
This is only possible via Extended notification.
Just follow the following path and u will configure it of by ur own.

  • ESS Leave Request workflow customization

    Hi Guys,
    We are trying to customize the standard Leave Request Workflow WS12300111 in the ESS application for ECC6. The standard workflow passes the data to the workflow via the object REQ of type CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS. I need to extract the leave information from the object.
    I tried creating an enhancement implementation for the Class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS and added my own method. But I can't see this method when I create a workflow task.
    I also tried copying the whole class and adding my code, but am not sure how to instantiate the new class in workflow. Pls help .

    Hi,
    Can you tell me the requirement.
    Do you want to change the Agent using a BADI ??
    or you want to send the leave request for another approval ??
    If you want to send the leave for another approval then just reset the status of the leave to SENT again using same class and using following code
    CALL METHOD cl_pt_req_badi=>initiate_state_transition
        EXPORTING
          im_request    = request
          im_event      = 'SENT'
       IM_RET_VALUE  = 0
        IMPORTING
          ex_new_status = me->status.
    After this, u can send this workitem to another processor..
    Another scenario could be:
    U want to determine a new agent for your workitem.
    In this case, u will have to implement BADI "PT_GEN_REQ"
    Read the documentation of this BADI.. this might help.
    And please tell me the requirement once again.. what you want to achieve.

  • ESS Leave Request  Workflow Issue

    Hi Every one,
    Our client is using ESS/Portal Leave Request workflow(ZWorkflow template which is configured to the portal) which is working fine up to the last month.Recently i developed  3 level  Escalation functionaly which is working fine and we tested and finally transported to production in the last month .And recently i got an issue when the leave request is aproved after escallation is not setting the workflow status completed and keep on escalating to the next levels.
    Note:When the 1st manager approves the leave request without escallation the workflow status is going to be completed which is fine and only there is an issue when escallated and approved the status of that specific leave request is approved but the workflow is not going to the status completed and keep on escalating to the next levels.
    i checked the log and found there is condition based wait event step which have a condition when
    Req.status = Approved&
    Req.status = Withdrawn&
    Req.status = Error.
    must raise the event and complete the workflow only working fine when the escalation does'nt takes place and the direct manager reacted without escalating to another manager.
    Please help e what might be the problem is.
    Thanks,
    Raja.

    Hi,
    Where is this event called? And more over is it an AND condition between those statements?

  • ESS leave request workflow -WS12300111

    Hello Experts
    I need to develop ESS leave request workflow by making copy from WS12300111. We are using SAP 4.7 and EP 6.0. And ESS and MSS is not yet deployed in EP.I tried to open this workflow in Workflow builder. Its saying that the task 12300111 does not exist. I have seen this workflow in ECC 6.0.
    Is WS12300111 not available in SAP 4.7? or after deploying ESS,will it be available in SAP 4.7?
    Please help me out...
    Thanks&Regards,
    Hemalatha

    hi Hemalatha
    I think in 4.7 you can't get that workflow. In ECC6 you can see the workflow. In EP you can't the visual see the workflow like that ECC6. i have developed multileve ESS workflow. take the copy of the standard workflow ws12300111 and do the customization according to your need. Check with the support pack with the portal and basis team. ESS will support only more that sp18 i guess. check with your basis team.

    Try making this task a General Task..use tcode PFTC and change the attribute of this task to a general task. That might help solve the issue.

  • ESS Leave request workflow : ws12300111 : Customizing

    Dear experts,
    I need to customoze ESS leave request workflow WS12300111.
    Can you please tell me do I need to Copy this to a NEW workflow generating a new WF no or can I simply generate a new version for this only ? What is ideal ?
    1. Can anyone tell me step by step process(config) in ESS leave application workflow?.(SWFVISU????)
    2. Is workflow WS12300111, the only workflow that I need to look for leave application ?.
    3. If it is WS12300111 I don’t see any start event for this workflow. So how is it getting triggered?
    4. For the approval task TS12300097, agent determination is done by expression ‘&Agent_0001.Agents&’. How does it interact with Org.Structure.
    5. In my scenario, approver should be supervisor of the employee applying for leave. If it is pending with this approver for 5 days it should go to the next up level manager.
    For identifying first level approver is ‘&Agent_0001.Agents&’ enough.? For identifying 2nd level approval do I need to write a rule ?
    Kindly help.

    Hi Sourav,
    Try this step by step process(config) in ESS leave application workflow.
    ESS Scenario
    Workflow Process 20000081 u2013 Create Leave Request with HTML
    Steps for triggering the workflow:
    1) The employee logs with his user name in the ESS web page.
    2) The employee creates a leave request with an optional note and sends it to the appropriate approver (usually his supervisor). The approveru2019s name is automatically displayed in the leave request form and the employee can replace him with another if such a change is needed.
    3) The approver (us approver) logs on to sap system or to ESS
    web pages and reads his mails in the SAP Business Workplace. The employeeu2019s leave request form appears in the workflow inbox with approve and reject options.
    A) If the us approver approves the leave request, he pushes the
    button approve from his mailbox (processing status A with
    approve). A screen is appeared with a box (Table entry: 0001)
    and the approver must push the button continue in order that
    the workflow is continued. Then the form is sent to the
    employeeu2019s mailbox in Sap. When the employee opens his mails, he receives a note in his inbox that u201Cthe absence from u2026. To u2026..has been approved byu2026.u201D.After that the absence is
    automatically created in the sap system. Then the approver gets a mail (notification of completion & Return u2026u2026).
    B) When the approver cancels a leave request, he pushes the
    button reject and the processing status changes to u201CRu201D.
    Then the same form appears
    Realative OSS Notes:588262, 480103, 717560, 452841, 359197, 321439, 428394, 321439, 693368, 451998 (ITS), 197746 (ITS), 419297 (ITS)
    ITS - ESS stand-alone solution for 4.7
    This solution allows customers to schedule the 4.6C or 470
    install / upgrade independently from the Enterprise Portal or
    mySAP Workplace implementation and will be supported at least as long as SAP R/3 4.6C and R/3 Enterprise is supported.
    This ESS stand-alone menu is intended solely to allow independent scheduling of the 4.6C or 470 upgrade and the Enterprise Portal / mySAP Workplace installation. To use this solution, you have to take the following steps:
    1. If you do not already have R/3 4.6C, HR support package 8,
    please import HR support packages to at least this level. From
    HR support package 8 and above, the correct services are
    implemented. For 470, the corresponding recommended HR SP is 16 (See note 621589)
    2. Verify that the ITS you want to use does not contain a service or service-related files (HTML templates, MIME files) for the services PZLE, PZM3 or PZM3_start. If you find these files,
    delete them.
    3. Publish the services PZLE, PZM3 and PZM3_start from your R/3 4.6C system (or R/3 470 system whichever is the case) to your ITS using the SAP@Web Studio or the IACOR service.
    4. Maintain the username-employeenumber assignment in your system by customizing Infotype 0105, Subtype 0001 of those employees, who should be able to use ESS.
    5. Verify that your users have proper authorizations for
    executing RFCs (that is, authorization object S_RFC) from the
    function group EH08. If you run into problems, this is most
    likely due to missing RFC authorizations to start the service
    PZM3.
    6. Your users should now be able to access ESS by starting the service PZM3. They can do this by entering a URL like
    http://<ITS server>:<http port>/scripts/wgate/pzm3/!
    (the ! at the end is essential).
    7. ESS 4.70 Unicode System ITS 6.10 patch level 29 and above (With IE and Netscape). ITS 6.20, patch level 6 and above (With IE only).
    The ESS development tested these ITS versions.
    8. For Release 4.6C, ESS has the same browser requirements as the HTML (see also note 178788) and the mySAP Workplace 2.11 (if ESS is accessed through the mySAP Workplace 2.11).
    Hope it helps.Do award points if found helpful.

  • 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.

The problem that I am getting when I login as "A" who is a boss of "B" and got the mail in inbox in corresponding workflow for Approve or Reject the Leave Request. Now when I "Approve" the Leave Request from R/3 Inbox, then the workflow move for the processing, but if the same Leave Request is to be "Approve" from EP having either the SAP Transaction iView or IAC iView, it doesn't process the Workflow further neither for Approval nor for Rejection. And the workitem remains as such in EP Inbox.
    Can someone tell me what to do so that it will trigger from EP too.
