MSS - Approval of working time
Hi
As a manager (MSS) i am getting three option when an emp(ESS) submits working time, viz, approve all, reject all, resubmit all.
I want to delete the resubmit all option. I have checked in R/3, the documentation says that this entry is defaulted by SAP.
is there is any way by which we can modify this option?
Regards
Minal
Dear Minal,
Do you manage to hide the resubmit all button? I am facing the same problem. BTW, do you know the different between resubmit and reject. I have try both and it seem the same to me.
Thanks
Regards,
Bryan

Collective approval of working Time
Collective Approval of Working Time iview displays list off EE's by pernr. I would like to display the name also, next to the pernr. Can anyone point me to the correct path? I have looked at the ECC MSS config and made changes for the formatted name of employee to appear. Is this a Portal change to the iview?
Help appreciated.Hi guys,
This can be configured if you set the approval criterion to be the Personnel Number and select the option "With description column".
It has worked for me at least. -
Approval of Working Times tasks show in UWL and shouldn't
Our employees use ESS to record their working time and the managers use MSS to approve that time. Occasionally the task Approval of Working Times, along with the sender date, name and a Cats attachment, appears in the managers UWL which makes it look like someone has time to be approved however, we do not go to the UWL to approve time. If this task is clicked on in the UWL a u201CService cannot be reached HTTP 404 u2013 Not foundu201D error is thrown. The send date of this task does correspond with a date when the employee entered time in ESS which the manager approved a few days later in MSS. So it appears that occasionally but not regularly or in any sort of pattern, time workflows to both MSS where the managers approve it and to the UWL where we donu2019t want it and sits there and drives the managers crazy. (Managers do go to the UWL to approve PCRs.) We have checked the workflow log and cannot see a split. How do we prevent the time approval from routing to the UWL?
Hi,
For me it seems that the the workflow should be turned off. There are ways to disable tasks from UWL, etc. (to not show them), but I would definately take a look to the CATS configurations in SPRO (unfortunately I don't remember the exact path, but it should not be too difficult to find). Basically there is place where you define that which workflow task is send to the manager when the employee releases the timesheet. You can perhaps remove this task from the configuration or perhaps there is some checkbox or something where you can turn of the workflow or whatever. Take look to this first. If you have CATS/HR people on your site, they will probably know what I am talking about.
Another perhaps good option could be that you do certain configurations for UWL and then the CATS approval application is opened when the managers click the item in UWL -. but I would first try to prevent the work item to be sent to the workflow at all, if it should not be sent there at the first place.

MSS: Approval of Working Hours - Working Times Changed Subsequently/Locked
Dear All,
I am facing one issue while approving the CATS working hours in portal through MSS.
We are using task TS31000007 for approval.
In our CATS profile we have input fields as:
CO Area, Send. CCtr, Activity Type, Rec. Order, Oper./Act., Work center, Plant , Att./abs. type, Wage Type, Acctg Indicator
When user enters the working hous only against Att. / abs. type, the manager gets the task and approval/rehjection happens successfully.
But when user mentions the other fields as well in addition to Att. / abs. type, and saves the hours, the manager can see the task. But when manager tries to approve/reject the working hours he gets message like below:
At this time, you cannot save the following working times since the employees working times are currently being processed or have just been changed.
Save any other data first and wait a few moments.
You can then choose Back and attempt to save the data again. Your approval decisions are retained but you might see data that is out-of-date.
Alternatively, you can restart the application to see the changes that have been made to this data.
Working Times Changed Subsequently or Locked
Employee Date Number Message
21 29.09.2008 4.00H Not possible to save: Record has changed
But when same manger tries to approve from R3 it is working perfectly.
Please let me know what is going wrong with portal ?
Thanks ,
VinodHello All,
Please suggest the solution.

Approval of Working Time & Multi Level CATS approval
Hi experts,
We have implemented CATS multi level approval as below.
1. In the CATS user exit we call a Workflow which is a multi level
workflow.
2. We are using the standard Webdynpro for CATS entry and approval.
Problem:
Once the first level manager(Say A) approves the timesheet work item
gets triggered for the next level approver(Say B). Since approval is a
standard webdynpro, the status of the CATS record immediately changes
from 20 to 30. So in the workflow, before sending the work item to
second level approver, we change the status of the time record back to
20 (Since it is yet to go through all approvals).
Now in the Team--> Approve working time section of the MSS, manager 'A'
still sees the record for approval, even though now the approval is
pending from 'B'. Moreover 'A' can approve this item as well (which
should not be the case).
Please provide a solution so that 'A' will not have the working time
item in his 'Working time section' after the A approves it in the UWL.
Thanks
KrishnaSolved it myself.
My solution is documented here.

Please leave your comments if you have any better solution for multi level approval.
Thanks in advance,

Approve/Reject Working Time through the Enterprise Portal Workflow
Hey Everyone,
We are currently working on a project to rollout a number new portal services. I was wondering if anyone in ECC or Portal has experience with enhancing the Time Entry Approval process. Is it possible to trigger an email notification when a manager rejects an employees time for any of the configured reasons. I would like an email back to the email to let them know they should change their hours or that their overtime was rejected. I have been spoiled by the deeper config options available for Leave Request.
In the standard workflow task the Item does turn red when rejected, but if employees aren't reviewing their entries they may never know it was rejected before they check their pay stubs.
I would be pretty surprised if the BADI or workflow task would be unable to know there was a rejection because it clearly asks you for a rejection reason and changes the colour of the request in the Record Working Time screen.
Thank you in advance,
DougSid,
I believe we are or have looked into RSWUWFML2, but I will confirm.
After trying a number of different options we are currently looking at using the Rejection check-box and determine if BASIS can redirect the messages to the employee's IT0105 subtype 0010 email address.
Here are some of the notes we have looked at.

HCM MSS Change in Working Time - Workflow
Hi All,
Im New to HCM & WOrkflows too...
I need your help, it would be very helpful for me to prove my skills.
I have a requirement like, The requirement is to initiate the Change in Working Time process from MSS( Manager Self-Service ) for a particular employee .
Desc:
Manager can initiate the Change in Working Time process for his /her employees/reportees via MSS . The manager will use a web-based interactive form (Adobe interactive form within HCM P&F framework) to fill in the details of the new changed work schedule of the Employee in question. Once this form is submitted by the Manager , the corresponding workflow will be triggered which sends a work item to the HR Administrator ; the HR Administrator will update the backend SAP accordingly. Once successfully updated an email notofication will be sent to the Manager of the Employee (in normal cases the Manager at this stage is the Initiator of the process)
And how to do this workflow development(only workflow part), if u can please tell me the skeleton structure to achieve this.
i have seen WS61000074 - this is ESS Change in working time. Same thing i need to do in MSS. Only thing is, in MSS Employee is not included.
Thanks in Advance,
Rani.Hi Bentow,
Thanks for your reply.
And in my FS, there is no word like CATS.
Mine is compeltely a workflow part.
I just copying my FS workflow process part: Please Tell me some idea, if possible.
A custom workflow template needs to be developed for Change in Working Time (MSS) process.
Once the Manager submits the Change in Working Time form via MSS for any of the reporting Employees the corresponding Workflow will be triggered.
The workflow will route the submitted form to the relevant HR Administrator (which can be fetched based on an Agent determination rule , if needed or can be maintained in the workflow template).
The HR Administrator will open the form and update the backend SAP system accordingly.
Once the HR Administrator successfully updates the system , he shall process the form and complete it.
Once the form is successfully completed by the HR Administrator , the workflow will send an Email notification to the Manager of the concerned Employee. [In a normal scenario, the Manager will be the Initiator of the current Change in Working Time process]
The above workflow configuration needs to done as part of the usage of HCM P&F framework.
The Workflow will be triggered when the Requestor(Manager) Submits the Change in Working Time
form in MSS.
Thanks in Advance,
Rani, -
Hi gurus,
We are using MSS 1.0 and EP 7 .I have a small problem.For the approval working Time we are using task TS20000460 task and we modified it based on the requirement of the client .Now we have discovered that when manager approves the time in MSS , the infotypes are updated automatically which the client does'nt want that to happen.Is the MSS approval will work the same way or it's because of workflow.Is there any setting to be done so that when the manager approves it the update will go into the CATSDB table but not the infotypes.
Reply is needed very urgently on this.
Thanks in advance.Hello,
You need to update the CATSWF transaction not to transfer immediately. Also in the approval profile for the iview SAP_Line uncheck the box to transfer immediate.
Hope this helps and maybe by now you have found your answer.

MSS: Approve working times
Dear experts,
a user runs a MSS transaction "Approve working times" but he receives the message: "No data exists that needs to be approved".
The user who runs this transaction is holder of chief position in the organizational plan and one position reports to him.
If the same user runs the transaction "cats_appr_lite" in SAP R/3, records to be approved are displayed.
The MSS user uses the profile "SAP Approval by Line Manager".
Why there are no data displayed in MSS transaction?
Thank you in advance,
Vana SountaWhat about this situation? Manager 1 would like Manager 2 to approve the working time of his staff while away from the office. We setup a substitution in the UWL of Manager 1 to give time approval tasks to Manager 2. Manager 2 receives the tasks as expected. When executing the task (Approve working time) however, the employees from Manager 1 do not appear in the list. I would expect that Manager 2 should see and have the ability to approve the time.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated on this type of substitution.
Best regards,

Hi
We are on EP7 with ECC6.0 as backend.
We are trying to use the Approve Working Time iview in MSS but it gives the following error:
Critical Error
A critical error has occured. Processing of the service had to be terminated. Unsaved data has been lost.
Please contact your system administrator.
The ASSERT condition was violated., error key: RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
We have maintained the following customizing in backend(
1.Define Approval view: SAP_LINE ( SAP Approval by Line Manager)
2.Define Field Selection for Individual Approval view: SLIN1 and with it Field customizing Field label
Personnel Number , Attendance or Absence Type,Text for Attendance or Absence Type, WorkBreakdown Structure Element, Receiver Order etc.
3. Define Field Selection for Detail View: Attendance, Counter etc
4.Define Profiles and Assign to Views: SAP_Line: Initial View=SAP_Line.
5. Create Rule Groups: SAP Standard( 01)
6 Adjust Webmo feature: Time Sheet Application..assigned rule group: SAP Standard(01)
The Approver is a Manager with A012 relationship with a particular org unit.
Kindly suggest where may lie the problem.....we have a requirement of Collective Approval of Working Times of his subordinates by the Manager.
I would like to add here that we are able to approve Working time requests individually through UWL...but we need to use the Approve Working Time Iview.Hi
We are using the standard taskTS20000460. But we want to use the Approve Working Time service iview.
When we were using the evaluation path for approving the working time data through A012( Chief) in MSS, we were able to see all the working times recorded by the subordinates of the said Chief( Manager) in the service Approve Working Time itself, we did not necessarily have go to UWL and approve from there....Now after we have made the required changes in the evaluation path and made A002 as the approver, the same iview Approve Working Time has a message that "No date exists that needs to be approved'.
At the same time we are able to view and approve the working time data from UWL of A002.
Is there a change that needs to be done in the service to get it working ? or it this because of some other reason.
Please advise. -

terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
I can approve the working time from R3 by cats_appr_lite transaction.
Please help.
Thanks,
SekharThis pretty much means that the customization is not complete for the CATS Approval profile that you have set for the manager in profile parameters.
Incomplete customization is the cause -
Dear All,
After releasing the time sheet(releasing work time data) by the employee through Portal-ESS, It needs to go his line manger. In this case I am able to release from ESS but I did not find any link for approval.For working time approval there is an application available. You can access this one with the standard MSS Portal role.

Automatic approval of CAT time data
Dear All,
Generally the boss should approve the working times of the employee in CATS. But the issue is that once the employee click on release button, timesheet gets approved automatically. But this approval should be done by supervisor. He was not facing this problem earlier.
I checked the Org Chart, I dint find any error there.
Please guide me which settings shall I check for this?
