Leave Request workflow in MSS - copying standard

Dear All,
can you please help me! Im new to this HCM and SAP.
My Requirement is Manage or Team Lead creates the Leave request (on behalf of employee).
If team lead creates the LR, then the approval mail has to reach manager's UWL. he has to approve or reject.
If manager created the LR, then no need to send the mail.
What i did is, i copied the standard LR workflow - WS12300111 into a customized one.
right now i didnt change anything.
And dont even understand that how mail is going for approval in standard, since there is no mail step in standard.
i have seen about two report also - RPTARQEMAIL & RPTARQPOST .
whether i also need to use this..???????
Please advice.
Thanks,
Rani.

Hi,
First of all, you should know the difference between workitem and mail.
Work item - Action that needs to be taken on the request (i.e.)approve or reject
Mail - notification saying that your leave request has been approved (or) employee A's leave request lying with you for approval.
Work item - workflow generates it and it will go to UWL.
Mail - External program or workflow will trigger and it will go to Outlook. (But standard workflow WS12300111 won't send mail)
Now tell me your requirement.
Do you need work item or mail not to be sent when manager raises leave request?
I mean, Is no approval required for manager's leave request?
Cheers,
Raja.D

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.

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.

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.

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 dont 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

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.

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?

Not able to trigger the Leave Request Workflow from EP

Hi,
There is a problem that I am getting as follows and I need an urgent help :
I am using the Leave Request Workflow WS20000081 in R/3 4.7. 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.
Regards
Deep

Leave request Workflow ids Ids WS12300111 ,WS12400005

hi
I am on ECC 50 and Portal 7.0. I am using the copy of standard workflows
1) WS12300111 copied to WS90100002 ( Create Leave request)
2) WS12400005 copied to WS 90100003( Cancel leave request)
in ESS.
My questions are as below
1) In Processing process for types of leave in IMG, which worklfows do i enter in each section
a) WF ID of New Request ( i have entered ZWS12300111 )
b) WF ID of Cancellation Request ( i have entered ZWS12400005 )
c) WF ID of Change Request( i dont know what to enter here, should it be same as ZWS12300111 )
2) Secondly the workflow ZWS12400005 does not get triggered when i delete the leave request ( approved, rejected) though i have set up the leave for approvals for cancellation.
3) When i reject the leaves, the work item "Process requeest by employee" comes and sits in UWL. If i click, it open the leave request screen, where in the old values are not present ( like dates for which i had applied leave). If i change the dates and send for approval, the workitem goes to managers inbox, but the work item "process request by employee" still sits in employee inbox. This is happening only in case of rejected leaves when employee uses the same workitem to re apply for leave.
Apprecaite your help

Reg: EP based Leave request workflow

Hi Experts
We are implementing ECC 6.0 and EP .
My requirement is I have copied standard leave request no 12300111 and i have modifield according to client requirment .
When i create the leave request wokflow from EP frent end its working fine and leave details are appearing in superviser in box ( IN EP inbox) .
Supervisor is approving fine .
1 . After approving leave reqeuest data is not updating in 2001 infotype.
2. In this workflow there is no BOR ( Business Object ) but still the data is appearing in supervisor inbox after create a leave from employee .
How can i see the request data in workflow becouse i need configure mail format aslo .
Once leave is created i need send main notification to employee as well as manager with leave request details.
Please help me how do i get leave data in workflow container .
Thanks
RameshG

There is no BO for the standard SAP leave req workflow. It is handled by a class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS. So you can forget everything about creating a sub-business object and delegating it to the standard one.
You can create your own custom (ABAP class) method which you can use to get the needed details of the leave request into your workflow container (which you can then use in your notifications). Check Jocelyn Dart's blogs about WF and ABAP OO. In your case everything should be quite clear if you just create one static method (you don't need to implemenet the LPOR-methods). This is of course the simpliest way to achieve your requirement - there are also some other more fancy ways.

Leave request workflow

Hi all,
I want to make a workflow for leave request. This workflow would have to start from EP (enterprise portal) and would have two level approval. Please let me know what business object and what event to use. Also let me know the functional transaction, where the employee would aply for leave - in SAP R/3. Would there have to be any special configuration in the system if the triggering event have to start from EP?
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi ,
The business object used for Leave is "FORMABSENC" and the event is "CREATED".
You can refer the demo workflow template 20000011 and make a copy and carry out the changes which you required.
To know whether the object is getting triggered or not , use the tcode SWEL ( event Logging ). To turn on event logging use tcode SWELS.
Please lemme know for any further help.......
