MSS CO Reports

Hi,
I do have a question regarding MSS CO reports, we have around 55 cost centres and the requirement is that each manager looks only at his own Cost Centre report.
Is there any way where i can create a role that depends on OM structure whereby the cost centre is populated from the user master record instead of creating a 55 role for each cost centre?
your help is very much appreciated.
Regards,
Aziz

I am afraid the org levels do not cover cost centres. But thanks for your help.
Regards,
Aziz

Error when executing function in MSS launchpad report ???

In MSS lanchpad report, we have the following problem:
Error in Manager Sef-Service
When calling the report, the following error occurred:
System: HRP
Error when executing function
Basically in MSS report, I select employees in the first iView which calls another ABAP query in back-end to display back-end t-code inside iView of portal through ITS service. What could be the reason for it? please advice.
Thanks,
Anthony

Please try converting the standadrd-delivered scenario RPT0, then check
out the things.
Also problem may be that your function code names contain
the character '&'. This causes a problem when the selected function
code is passed to the ITS-WebGUI as a URL parameter. Please use only
standard characters (A..Z and _) when you define a function code.
Then it should work.
Please go through the following link also

3198408d953154e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Please test in backend using Se38 > PWPC_RPT_START_REPORT_TEST
The Reporting Iview in the portal has the Report category type, by
the report category type is set to "RPT0". Therefore, when the
application is launched, the reporting category type is also sent as URL
parameter to the backend system. As of ECC 6.0 only the reporting
category type "RPT0" is supported. ensure this is set for your custom reports if you are using own scenarion
then set in the Iview property of reports as well
ie example
1)Change the Iview property "Scenario" of the Reporting iview from
"RPT0" to your own "ZRPT", than this set of reports will work. however,
the standard reports will not work.

MSS BW Reporting [Beginner]

Hello all,
I'm looking into implementing BW (3.5) Reporting on our EP (7.0)'s MSS Business Package. And I don't have any idea on how to configure the MSS to show the reports in the reporting workset.
Any guides or how-to's that you can share for this? It would really help me a lot.. (Assuming I've already successfully deployed the MSS package on our EP)
Thanks in Advance.

MSS Approval Report Links to Busines Workflow Task in UWL

Hello All,
I have a scenario below that I'm hoping you can help.
I copied the standard business workflow task "TS31000007: CATS Approval by Supervisor" to create our own task (general task) and link the 'CatManagerApprove' application and 'sap.com/msscatapproval' package to this task in the Workflow Visualization Configuration.
We then assigned this new task to the time data entry profile for the portal. Once, employee released the working time, the task is created and send to the Universal Worklist.
The manager can then access the UWL and open this approve time workflow task. This task is open to the MSS Approval Report (similar to what appear under the MSS > Tasks > Approve Time by Manager).
However, I have copied the Approve Time by Manager to our own and changed some of the order of the column and header text and assigned to the MSS role.
I would like to have this CATS approval task open to the same approval report view/layout as in the MSS Approval Report.
I've tried to change the layout (column order) through portal contents of the standard MSS Approval Report because I thought it was reading from there, but it's not.
Does anyone know how this can be done or where to point to the MSS Approval Report on the portal.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Karri,
We were able to use the launch iview task to launch our specific iview but I cannot seem to get it to recognize the workitem. In other words, when I click on the task in the UWL, my approve working time iview appears but it does not have the data that is from the workflow task item. Attached is the XML code that I used:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS93000001.SAP_ECC_Financials" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchIView" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC_Financials" externalType="TS93000001" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchIView" groupAction="" handler="IViewLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
            <Property name="page" value="pcd:portal_content/net.saccounty.SacCounty/net.saccounty.approve_ts_data"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
            <Property name="workitemId" value="${item.externalId}"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default=""/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>
I thought the line <Property name="workitemId" value="${item.externalId}"/> would pick up the work item ID, but it is not working. Any suggestions?
TS93000001 is our task. approve_ts_data is our iview. It opens in a new window correctly and goes to the correct iview, just is not the actual task data.
Thank you,
Mark.

Can any one guide as to what the issues could be and if there is anything else to do

Can you please clarify this
I dont know why so many things are going on.
Can pl do a simple check to isolate your problem.
- Is SSO to BW system working fine using SAP GUI for Windows ?
I assume you have created the System and met all the prequisites (like same user id and other steps)
Go to Support>SAP App.>SAP Trans-->Select WinGUI for testing.
-If it is not working you need to fix the SSO prob first.
They you have to check the SSO (to the BW System)using WebGUI .
Again Do you really need WebGUI to use your BW System from Portal ?
You have maintain the ITS related Parameters (3 parameters) in the ITS service files.Please check in the SSO config guide.
If you could update , we can go ahead fixing ur prob..
Priyabrata
What do u mean by whether we really need webgui. I mean in my case like MSS reports or a custom BW web report can i use ITS?
If i can use ITS how can I do that.
Currently we have portal, ITS and R/3 intrgrated and running. ESS MSS works fine with this stuff. Our issues started when we wanted to bring in BW reports in heneral and MSS reports in oparticular.
Please guide

BW Report Error - MSS (Headcount Report)

Hi Salim, sorry for the delay but I was in transit...
Check the following <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/5523">weblog</a>. It has some useful information about the parameters needed for BW integration. The error you are getting is from the portal appintegrator component, not from BW. So you should check the parameters you are setting.

MSS IAC reporting error?

Hi,
We created custom MSS role which has limited services from standard MSS role. So we didn't want to make any change to the standard MSS role. One of the service under custom MSS role is reporting we made it to point to reporting page(PCD as below) instead of standard LPA reporting.
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.pages/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hcm/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.reporting
When we assign custom MSS role to a user, user could see the report but there is a button on this report "Report status" which pops up a new window pointing to IAC reporting iView(PCD as below), this one fails because of permission denied.
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hcm/com.sap.pct.mss.hcm.rpt.iac
The permission is denied because the user do not have standard MSS role, but he only has custom MSS role. If I assign standard MSS role, the above PCD works perfectly. The above PCD is located under the standard MSS role.
How and where do I change to point to different PCD instead of standard PCD as above?
We copied the IAC reporting iView to the custom MSS role, new PCD location is as below
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/company.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/company.pct.erp.mss.iviews/company.pct.erp.mss.hcm/company.pct.mss.hcm.rpt.iac
How can I change to this PCD for this report?
Thanks
Praveen

Hi Siddharth, where in the backend I can set new PCD path for IAC reporting?
I cannot see any property for iView PCD?
I found thread with similiar issue but it was to do with runtime error, for me I get permission denied because new MSS role is trying to access standard MSS role PCD object as said in my first post.
/thread/1394682 [original link is broken]
Please let me know where is this configured in the backend SPRO? Or is this PCD link hardcoded in the "Report Result" button?
Thanks
Praveen
Just more info on this issue, the actual PCD of the iAC report is
portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hcm/com.sap.pct.mss.hcm.rpt.iac
Where as when clicking on the "Report result" button it's looking at below PCD which is inside standard MSS role
portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.roles/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.manager_self_service/com.sap.pct.mss.hcm.rpt.iac
This is why the custom MSS role is unable to access above PCD which is inside the standard MSS role. Is there a way around to point or change this PCD in SPRO or custom role level?

MSS Absence Report PT64 not working via IAC iView

We have a problem with MSS regarding the PT64 Absence Report. If we invoke the report via SAP GUI it produces a report using the correct date criteria specified.
If we invoke the same report through MSS business package v 60.1.4 on EP6 SP2, the Selection Criteria iView delivered in the business package launches a new window to display the report using an AppIntegrator IAC iView and generates a URL as follows:
http://server/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3a!2f!2fportal_content!2fcom.sap.portal.migrated!2fep_5.0!2ftemplates!2fcom.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwc.IAC?System=SAP_R3_HumanResources&SAP_IAC=hrwpc_fc_exec&SAP_QueryString=S%3DZMSS%26F%3D*HISRETABS+5%26B%3D18000101%26E%3D20050901%26V%5B1%5D%3DZRPT_D1%26O%5B1%5D%3DP00003582
The report ignores the date criteria passed from the MSS iView. I can see in the URL above that the URL contains the dates I specified in MSS (start date=18000101 and end date=20050901).
So I assume that either the URL is wrong or that PT64 or ITS is incorrectly interpreting the URL?
Problem is, how do I know what the URL is supposed to look like?
And if ITS or PT64 is incorrectly interpreting the URL query data, how on earth do I investigate or debug this.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi all,

You can have only one report category for MSS, you cant have multiple categories so this is will be difficult
if you need only one for all mss users then it can be done

MSS Competence Report by Position not working in portal

Hi,
We have developed a custom R/3 report which is "Competence Report by Position". This report need to be accessed via Reporting iview of the portal.
And in portal we have added new object Selection criteria "Position by Operational Org units ".
Once we select this report in the portal and in next step we select the Object selection criteria "Position by Operational Org units " and click on Report Result we are getting the object selection screen saying Please specify an object type(this is in IAC window)
instead we want the report to be shown directly.
We suspect that due to some issue position value is not going into the program and so it is asking for object type again.
Please suggest are we missing something here?
Backend version :ECC 6.0
Thanks
Raj

Yes, but I am using 10.5.2. I was charged for 2 season passes of a show. When I hit "report a problem" it takes me to the support page. Within the support pages I used "Express Lane" to open a case. I am awaiting their email back. I am just hoping they don't tell me to use the "report a problem" again.

MSS standard report

Goodday,
I have a question here with regards to the above. For example, in the attendance overview report, it will list down a list of employees whom are 'absent', 'Temporarily Absent' and 'At Work'. Can i know how are these derived from the backend? Does it look thru IT2006?
Reason i'm asking is there are a couple of incidents where the employee is on annual leave but the report still shows as 'At work'. Thanks
P.S:- Runi

Hi Nahoj,
Attendance Overview application reads data from Info types 2001 & 2002 using the functions of the request database. To determine the attendance status, the system first reads the data from the BAPI TimeAvailSchedule in the backend system. This BAPI checks once in a hour whether the employee should be at work and whether or not he is actually at work at this time.
You can check the documentation for the functions module of the method BAPI_TIMEAVAILSCHEDULE_BUILD (Generate List of Employee Availability).
The system reads employeesu2019 absences from the request database. The system checks whether requests exist in the request database that have not yet been approved. If it finds requests that have not yet been approved, it outputs the status Open Request.
For each hour of the day, the system then checks the attendance status determined by the BAPI and from this determines the status that is to be output for the whole day. That is, even if an employee is absent for just one hour during the day, the status output for the employee is Temporarily Absent.

N. Navaneethan

MSS Direct Reports

Hi,
We are in process of modifying the MSS home page in Portal. The requirement is to add few more columns other than the default three columns. I created new structure view, data view and column group. The new column group has additional columns. I am using the existing columns from the system. When I use the new structure in the iView, I am facing following two issues:
1) For personnel # column it shows me the position IDs.
2) For other columns i.e. Email etc. the columns are blank. They don't populate any data.
Can someone please help me if I am missing any config step?
Thanks.

Anyone?
