Leave Request workitem always to manager

Hi,
I copied the WF WS12300111 and added an extra approval step to my custom workflow with the same task TS12300097 as the first approval step.
The problem is that the first workitem is sent to the HR Administrator, in the SWI1 I can see it correclty, but the problem is that the Manager of the person is getting also the workitem in his inbox, even thou I didn0't send it to him, he can see in a workitem the list of pending leave requets workitems and he can approve or reject them!
How can avoid this functionality and only sent the workitem to the HR Administrator?
Thanks!

Hi,
I think there is a problem in the customization for the rule group. check in the SPRO.
SPRO-personnel management-ESS-service specific settings-Leave request-> Define processing process for each rule group:
Then see what is there in :  Determine Next Agent  .
I think in your case it is MNGR line manger.
Change it to:  MANU No Calculation/Manual Entry .
Hopefully your problem will be resolved.
Regards
Kedar

  • Leave Request Workitem error Work item cannot be executed in status COMPLET

    Hi All,
    In case of leave request application when one particular manager is trying to approve the leqave request he is getting the error message
    Work item 000000003046 cannot be executed in status COMPLETED
    when i check in workflow log i am getting the workitem id for the dialog task it is 0000000002111
    work item id 000000003046 mentioned in the workflows is for my background task which is already completed.
    This is happening on production server. Other managers are able approve and reject the leave.
    Please suggest.

    Hi Florin,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I could not understand your view fully you are saying
    Why modifying the SAP Standard when it could be solved by the SAPNet? There's a hint in the OSS Note's text regarding a problem for custom-made workflow patterns related here.
    Here are you suggesting some new sap note? which will revert to the previous code or something like that.
    What pavan is talking is
      SORT lt_dep_wis STABLE BY WI_ID.                            "Note ANK 980004
      LOOP AT lt_dep_wis INTO lcl_dep_wis. ENDLOOP.
    Pavan: can you please give the details of the implicit Enhancement - Enhancement point or something as I could not find any implicit enhancement here.
    Please suggest.

  • Leave request workitem in UWL status update issue

    Hello,
    Once manager receives a workitem in their UWL for leave request, the status is NEW.
    Now when manager click on that workitem..opens it and closes it without taking any action.
    The status must change to "IN PROGRESS".
    This does not happen.
    Status remain as NEW.
    We do not have any issue once Leave is approved or rejected. Workitem gets disappeared appropriately.
    Please help me in resolving this issue.

    Hello Lukas,
    We are on EHP4.
    And it uses Java based applications.
    Now can you please check in you machine the very same scenario.
    Instead of looking at the senders UWL, have a look at the managers UWL.
    Where status is displayed as "New".
    Open the workitem and close it withpout taking any action.
    Then manually refresh your UWL and observe the status. Is it "New" or "In progress".
    However we have just recieved a reply from SAP that it is a standard behaviour. And status would remain as New if no action is taken.
    But still I am not convinced. As if you open that workitem from Backend Inbox. The status in UWL in portal changes to "In Progress" !
    Strange.

  • Error while running leave request Workitem from UWL

    HI,
    While running the workitem from UWL in MSS we are getting the following error
    URL http://sapdev.rediffsap.net:8000/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequestApprover call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available
    i.e its is not launching the Web Dynpro application.
    As result I have checked the following :-
    1) Maintained entries as per SAP note 779075.
    2) Alias for the portal system has been set to SAP_WebDynpro_XSS and UWL has been registered with this alias.
    3) check entried for Task - TS31000007  APPLICATION - CatManagerApprove and PACKAGE - sap.com/msscatapproval which are set in T-code SWFVISU.
    Plus I have also tried the following changes.
    1) All the services in SICF are activated.
    2) I have tried setting the WEBASPATH to blank and set it to /webdynpro/dispatcher and /webdynpr/dispatcher/sap.com but it does not test the WAS connection as correct, but running the Workitem still results in the same error.
    I am running out of ideas now to correct this. Please help.

  • Leave Request Not Appearing in UWL for Manager

    Hi,
    We have a strange issue where leave requests are not appearing in the UWL for a specific manager.  We have checked with other managers and the leaves are appearing in their UWLs and they are able to process their employee's leaves without any issue.
    For the manager not seeing the leave in their UWL, I have confirmed the following:
    1) Proper manager defaults in 'approver' field in ESS and employee is able to send leave request without issue
    2) Manager receives email to process employees leave request after RPTARQEMAIL program runs
    3) Leave is reaching the manager's business workplace in R/3 so this verifies workflow is working and the leave is being directed to proper manager for approval
    4) Proper roles have been assigned to manager and verified in PRD
    *Also, the leaves were appearing in the manager's UWL at one point but no longer appearing.  This makes it more confusing!
    Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas as to what may have happened?
    Any feedback would be greatly appreicated!
    Regards,
    Brian

    Hi:
    We transported our ESS/MSS changes from the DEV client to STG client.  I have verifiied the follwoing settings in STG:
    1) SWU3 - all connections are green.
    2) Workflow template and tasks - all are assigned as general task with agents assigned
    3) Configuration in SAP contains the correct WF template for leave processing
    4) UWL has been regenerated
    I am able to submit a leave request under ESS user.  I check workflow and it shows leave has been submitted and waiting for Manager to approve step. 
    However, under MSS user the leave request is not showing up in the UWL.  All configuration on backend and the items noted above have been verified. 
    Is there configuration or a connection on the portal side that I need to check? Or anywhere else?  Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Brian

  • Error: You are not a receiver of the work item in Leave Request Approval

    Hi all,
    I have copied the standard leave request workflow and done the customization as per my requirement.
    Agent assignment for all the tasks are General Tasks.
    We are facing below error when we are trying to approve the leave request from MSS UWL.
    "You are not a receiver of the work item.".
    This started happening after implementing the note 1501377 which is for clearing the approved leave request
    workitems from UWL .
    i have gone through the threads related to this issue and tried given solution but no success  .
    Please let me know if anything else is missing since its happening after implementing the note.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

    Able to resolve the issue :-).
    i was using Fork since my workflow is a two level process.
    so the workflow was travelling to both branches one was in ready state another was in waiting state(48hours deadline)
    having different agents.
    i debugged the 1501377 note code when leave is approved it is looking  at last workitem  of the request which is waiting state workitem in my case and I was trying to approve the leave from user who is in ready state. then it throws the error.
    So i have changed the design of workflow. i have done below things for two level process.
    i will have requested end for approval task with outcome in that branch i kept second level approver. My questions
    1) i am planning to do write below code to post the entries into infotypes after approval by managers. is it ok or any suggestions?
       CALL METHOD cl_pt_arq_processor=>post
          EXPORTING
            im_request =
          RECEIVING
            ret_value  = retrun
    2) how to complete the WF if the 1st manager misses the deadline and WF goes to second manager?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

  • 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.
    Mr.Chowdary

    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.
    Kind Regards

  • UWL - Leave Request item still in UWL after approval

    Hello,
    we are facing the problem that the leave request items have still state "new" after the approval and don't change the state.
    But in the list the leave request is not visible any more... so the approval worked.
    I found the discussion: Approved items in UWL remains in the status "new". and Leave request workitem in UWL status update issue but that didn't help.
    Does someone know what to do?
    thanks, Vanessa

    Hello Lukas,
    with the help of the wiki: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/UWLworkitemisnotrefreshedafteraLeaveRequesthasbeen+approved I was able to find the required note to get the status fixed. It is now completed and that's great. Unfortunately the items are still there. I am only able to see the new items in the transaction. The old ones are not visible but I need to delete them. Tomorrow I will ask some WF guru to help me fix it.
    I also think that there is still a problem with the configuration of the UWL / backend WF. It could be that ne required jobs are not planned. I was happy that the UWL worked so fast but now....
    Greetings,

  • UWL do not refresh correctly when leave request change status

    hi
    I implemented the standar workflow of "Leave Request"(succesfuly), and the leave request  appareced in UWL in MSS, I approved the leave request, but Leave Request is not change the status. But The employee of the leave request watch the new "status" with approved in the ESS option (Leave Request).
    I refresh the UWL but Leave request stills appears with status "new", I clicked in the Leave Request (it had already approved in the previous step) and the new window open with error "index 0,0".
    My questions are:
    1.  How I can refresh my UWL? and that I displayed the request approved
    2.  Why not change your status to approve the leave, if I do not get any error?
    thanks for your post and answers
    Ivan

    implement the note 1501377 which was created to clear the leave request workitems
    ensure it is done
    and then following settings, In SWU3 schedule background jobs
    in uwl administration you can set these
    Default Execution Mode: Optimistic
    Webflow User Format: Full Name
    Default Cache Validity Period, in Minutes: 2
    Maximum Number of Threads Created in the Thread Pool: 10
    Timeout Value for the Connected Systems, in Seconds: 60
    Please check how frequent you refresh your cache
    1.,,Open task in the same window in the portal - rather than opening in
    a new window when approving and rejecting tasks.  This is so that the
    actions will be controlled through the UWL UI rather than an external
    window.
    2.You can configure an additional column on the UWL UI called
    isLaunched to mark an item that were already executed and may have been
    completed already.  This is very similar to the marked as read
    functionality contained in an email client.  If a user opens a task the
    item will  be marked as launched.  If refresh happens either manually or
    automatically then the workitem may be completed (marked as launched)
    and disappears from the inbox.  If it has been opened but not completed
    the launched icon disappears.
    3. Is Delta Pull enabled in your system?
    Steps to clear the UWL cache
    please go to "System Administration" "System Configuration" ->
    -> Universal Work list & Workflow
    -> Universal Workflow Administration
    -> Click on cache administration page
    -> Click "Clear Cache" button.

  • 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.

  • ESS: UWL Leave request issue

    Hi folks,
    We are on EP 7.0 SP13 wit ESS/MSS 600 SP11 (for ERP2005) .
    We configured ESS Leave request and facing the below issue.
    When an employee takes leave with the leave request application and the manager rejects/approves this leave request,
    a work item is send in the UWL Inbox 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: [0018FE28A06E006500000070000032B50004463FEC45E404]
    I've checked the SWFVISU transaction and changed the package name of workflow task 'TS12300116' to 'sap.com/esslea', initially, it was 'com.sap/esslea'. Though i make this change and re-register the UWL system, i still get the error when opening the task from UWL Inbox
    All ESS/MSS services/webdynpros are deployed without errors.
    Does any body have an Idea ??
    Thanks
    Karthik

    Hi Karthik,
    The error is because in SWFVISU transaction, where the Workflow task is linked with the Leave request approver application ,the package name is wrong.
    The task for approval process is TS12300097.
    In SWFVISU,
    Application name is : LeaveRequestApprover
    Package : com.sap/ess~lea
    If you notice,the package name mentioned here would be com.sap.xss.hr.lea.appl. Please correct it to com.sap/ess~lea.
    You can also check out note 779075
    Hope this solves it.
    Regards

  • Second level Manager Unable to view the leave request

    Hello Experts
    We are using three levels approval leave request, first level manager able to approve successfully, when second level manager approving the leave request is unable to see any contents inside the request, its showing blank.
    Kindly help me on this.
    Thanks
    Neelima.

    Hi,
    I have a requirement in which I have to sent Leave Workflow to three approvers. For that I maintain the approvers in a customising table. What I did is, I took a copy of the standard Leave WF and added a step in loop (to read the table maintained, through a bor method). For the last approver, he has to get the standard leave approval task and for that reason i looped my custom bor for 2 times and put the standard leave approval task outside the loop.
    Now the issue is that, eventhough the first approver gets the workitem and approves that, the next approver is not getting the workitem for him. Workflow is going into an error state stating that the successor node is not found.
    Please tell me whether my approach for customising leave workflow is correct. And if correct, what could be the reason for the error that I get.

  • Display particular workitem(Leave Request) in secretary's workplace

    Hi,
    In our company every manager & above has their own secretary so for leave request workflow(ESS-HR) workitem goes to their id's .
    I have tried substitution but it's not working with my requirement.
    My requirement is can i display particular workitem(Leave Request) in their secretary's workplace.
    Regards,
    Purvesh Patel.

    hi,
    if substitution is not working then you can write down your custom rule to forward the same workitem to the seceratry instead of that too the manager.

  • Auto Approval Workflow for leave request Management.

    Hi Guru's,
    I am working on leave request Workflow i.e WS12300111.
    Now i have to implement the auto approval of workitem if the approver doesnt take any action in 3days.
    1. i have implemented deadline monitoring i.e in Latest end tab
    refer date/time :- Expression Date : %DATUM% Time : %UZEIT%    3 days Action : Modeled  Display test
    Outcome : Reminder Mail
    In outcome tab i have activated Processing obsolete.
    i have created an activity if the deadline is reached so that it should auto approve the workitem.
    in that activity i have created a copy of class CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS created 1 method auto_approve. and used function module PT_ARQ_REQUEST_EXECUTE so that it will change the status from SENT to APPROVE.
    But when i apply leave in portal , workflow starts but it doesnt reach to branch auto approve after the deadline is reached.
    Please suggest is the deadline monitoring implemented correctly or not .
    whether the auto approve method used is correct or not
    or there is another solution to this
    I have checked the SWU3 setting and it is green.
    Please Advise
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Rick ,
    Thanks for the Reply.
    But is there something wrong in deadline monitoring i have maintained for the task.
