MSS - Compensation Planning and Approval Issues

Hi Experts,
We are implementing MSS for one of our clients (only MSS) and face a few issues.
1. The Submitter is able to view and approve the Compensation plan for his reportee........instead it should be the submitters manager who should only be able to approve ie Compensation approval should be done by M+1 level but it is right now done by the manager himself. How can this be done? Any setting through which we can restrict this?
2. We would like to restrict the Compensation submission to the Managers only. While we are testing we found that one of us who is not a manager can still create and submit the Compensation change. We don't want this to happen so that even by error the MSS Role is assigned to a non-manager, he should still not be able to make any changes.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Arun E V

Hi Arun,
Did you resolve your issue? what MSS version you are using for Compensation Planning and Approval, are you able to see employees for Approval in Planning Overview Application, even i am not able to Employees for Planning Overview Appliation, i am able to see employees in Compensation Planning Application only.

Please help me on this one.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,

Exclude Managers and others in ECM Planning and Approval Iviews

Hi All,
In the planning iviews, we would like to restrict based one the following conditions,
Manager -Level1 logs in and plans for
1) Employees directly reporting to him(includes managers of sub org units too)
2) And those who come under the sub org unit of the Manager's Org Unit.
for the second point , if the sub org units have Managers of A012 , then those employees should not be displayed(obviously becoz their managers have the rights )
In the Approval Iviews, we would like to restrict based one the following conditions,
Manager -Level 2 logs in and approves
1) The Planning done by Manager Level 1
2) Should not plan for the second level
We have checked the Exclude managers check bos in the rule selection and tried using the HRWPC_EXCL_MANAGERS BADi.
This BAdi would affect other i views where this employee search is used.
Could you suggest ??
Tks & rgds

Hi G,
The approval Iview is altogether different. The compensation adjustments eatrlier submitted by the line manager would be automatically available for the Higher / Approving manager and hence there is no question of Employee selection views in approval phase.
And with respect to difference MSS_ECM_SEL_LIS - Employees from org.units and MSS_ECM_SEL_TRE -Employees from org.structure;
Employees from org.units lists the entire list of employees directly from all the subordinate org.units but there is no org.unit reference but
Employees fropm org.structure lists the subordinate org.units first in the data provider and you can select an individual org.unit or all org.units & sleect "GO" button to view the employees list.
Hope this clarifies.
Best Regards

MSS Compensation Planning Notes Column Stroing garbage

Hi ,
Notes column in Compensation Planning ( MSS 600 , EP 7) when edited and long text ( > 78 )is entered is storing garbage.
I know the line/ row length of a the table communication the rfc is 78 fixed.
The problem is that the code below is correctly cutting the text of lines of 78 each but then does not store the table with multiple rows only the top row gets over written and stored.
Any ideas - how to add multiple rows to it ( the line highlighted ) -
Hrecm00Text textList = new Hrecm00Text();
          String bufferText = "";
          int index = 0;
          if (noteText != null) {
               while (index < noteText.length()) {
                    if (index + 78 < noteText.length()) {
                    bufferText = noteText.substring(index, index + 78);
                    } else {
                         bufferText = noteText.substring(index);
                    textList.setText_Line(bufferText);
                    index = index + 78;
                                          input.addText_Tab(textList);
                    bufferText = "";
          } else {
               input.setText_Tab(new Hrecm00Text.Hrecm00Text_List());

Hrecm00Text is defined in Java Dictionary as structure . .. . of line text_line with length 78

MSS - compensation planning - compensation profile page

Dear All,
I have a question regarding a simple customization of a Standard SAP content page.
In the Compensation Planning iview, after the search is done a list of employees is displayed. Then single employee name is selected, and new window is launched displaying the compensation profile page:
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.compensation_profile
I would like to hide some of the iviews that are shown in this page, however since it is Standard SAP content I do not want to modify the provided by SAP page. I plan to make a delta link copy of this page however my problem is that I do not know how to point the link from the result list in the Compensation Planning iView to the customized Compensation Profile page.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Venelin

You are right Veneliin.....to achieve your desired result you have to first copy the standard compensation profile page and paste it as delta link in your own folder.
Now you need to open the MSS role that you are using..(I believe it is your own custom role..)
Navigate to MSS (Role)-> Overview -> Team -> Employee Information..
You will find a page called "Compensation information" in it...
Delete this page and replace it with your own copied (as delta link) page.
Now you can modify your custom compensation information page....
Any doubts then revert back.

MSS - Compensation Planning

All,
For MSS ERP 2005 Web Dynpro based business package, can you please point me to some direction which will let me to configure the FPM based Compensation Planning Page.
According to the documentation http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/90/a5391ed9a64c9b9986c3e669632968/content.htm
the integration section mentions that we can launch the compensation profile from this page. But I am not sure how to implement this.
Adding other iviews like Long Term Incentives, etc to this pages doesn't automatically populate the data. I am missing some steps on configuring the FPM application.
Can you please help?
Thanks,
MS

Hi Aryani,
But we are not making any customization.It should work by default .When an error is coming for a manager in display then the manager cannot be able to go and save the compensation increase for that employee or employees .So,my question is there any note for this problem.
Thanks,
Rao.

Add a button to MSS Compensation Planning screen

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement from my client to add a button in Compensation Planning screen to Download the list.
However, I couldn't find a configuration in IMG to add it.
The Compensation screen is a WDJ and we do not have Java expert in our team to enhance it.
Appreciate your solutions & ideas.

Hello,
Unfortunately you will have to implement Enhancement Pack 5 to have this functionality in standard. Otherwise you do have to modify the Java coding.
Cheers

Very imp planning and goods issue

i have two questions to ask .
1)for what purpose cbp is used .that is will it used for any other purpose apart from procurement. what is the full form of mrp1,mrp2,mrp3,mrp4
2)can a goods issue happens with respect to purcahse requistions/.
please answer my queries i will appreciate u.

Dear Meena,
CBP : It is known as consumption Based planning used for planning procurement of external purchasing material ie. supplied by vendor..
MRP 1/2/3/4 : MRP stands for Material Requirment planning & 1 to 4 are different views maintained to plan requirement through MRP by system itself.If you do all necessary configuration & update master data for all MRP view you can get direct schedule lines generated after MRP run which will be sent to vendor for delivery of material.In short its automatic procurement process.
Through Purchase requisition u cannot issue material .This is document to inform about the requirement of material which will be converted into Purchase order ort production order.
Consumption-Based Planning
Purpose
The central role of MRP is to monitor stocks and in particular, to automatically create procurement proposals for purchasing and production (planned orders, purchase requisitions or delivery schedules). This target is achieved by using various materials planning methods which each cover different procedures.
Consumption-based planning is based on past consumption values and uses the forecast or other statistical procedures to determine future requirements. The procedures in consumption-based planning do not refer to the master production schedule. That is, the net requirements calculation is not triggered either by planned independent requirements or dependent requirement. Instead, it is triggered when stock levels fall below a predefined reorder point or by forecast requirements calculated using past consumption values.
MRP Procedures
In consumption-based planning, the following MRP procedures are available:
u2022     Reorder point procedure
u2022     Forecast-based planning
u2022     Time-phased materials planning
I hope this will be useful to you.

Compensation Planning Iviews in MSS

Dear Team,
From the R/3 end, the ful cycle for Compensation Planning is working.
Comming to the MSS part in portal, although we find Iviews for Compensation Planning and Approval, these two pages display only blank page.
Required Authorizations have been maintained. Please help me what else to be maintained
Regards
...Sadhu

Ya, Siddharth...SAP_ALL is maintained for this test user.
I beleive authorization may restrict user to view Org Units or Employees, but in my case the whole page displayed is blank.
What i feel is some technical config might be missing.
Please let me know if any Services/ Resources and PCD paths to be maintained. As these are standard Iviews, the standard services are available, but if any modifications required for this ?!

Additional Columns in ECM - Compensation Planning view

Hello
We have a requirement to hide some columns in MSS Compensation Planning view.
I know that this column framework can be configured using OADP.
But my issue is that, we wanted to hide the specific columns (like Amount) only for one compensation plan and not other plans (all these plans are in the same category "Additional payments").
Can the column framework be made Compensation Plan specific?
Could anybody suggest me?
Thank you & Regards
Raghu Kolukuluri

Hi Saurabh,
I have similar requirement for ECM implementation that for a specific comp plan I want to display two columns otherwise not. You mentioned that you could achieve it via OADP; however I can't find any linkage between the comp plan and data view.
I can see standard data views (following and more)
MSS_ECM_APR_BON     Approval: Bonus
MSS_ECM_PLA_BON     Planning: Bonus
MSS_ECM_REV_BON     Planning: Bonus (Review)
And I believe If I change the view for MSS_ECM_*_BON; it will affect all the views related to bonus plans. I was able to add 2 columns there too.
Now question is -- Is it possible to give drop-down values to one of these columns ? e.g. my column is Status and I want to allow only 5 statuses, can I bring the drop-down in the portal without any WDJ application change ? I'd like to achieve it via config if possible.
At the column definition/config level in SPRO, I can see following:
Convers. Rout.
FM for Column Contents
FM from Column Framework
Service Key
Can I use any of these to achieve such drop-down?
Please let me know if you have any clue.
Thank you

How to disable ECM Compensation Plans

Hi people:
We have an issue with the Compensation Planning ECM iView of the our MSS 6.1. We want to hide a couple of Plans (the tabs) from the current iView. We have tried with all the different parameters included on the iView, but we have not been able to modify anything apart from the columns groups or the columns assigned to the iView on the parameters
We have reviewed all the Object and Data Provider tables but we have not found anything related to this of how to enable or disable the Compensation plans tabs from the ECM Compensation Planning and ECM Compensation Approval
We have reviewed as well the Compensation Workset guides but apart from parameters to modify the navigation or the content of each Compensation plan, we have not found any reference which can guide us. We have tested the following parameters VIEWIDSAL, VIEWIDBONREG,VIEWIDBONOFF,VIEWIDLTI and play with them removing and changing the standard parameter ECMNAV,ECMBON,ECMLTI,ECMSAL based on the ODAP, but we have not found anything which can help us.
Has anyone knows if it is possible and how to achieve this on the Portal?
Kind regards

Hi Gonzalo,
Each tab in ECM corresponds to a Plan as created for Enterprise Compensation Management in configuration. Whether the tab appears or not depends on whether it is assigned to the Review also created in ECM. The Program assignment will determine whether an employee is eligible for a particular Plan, but the name will appear on the tab but all entry columns will be blanked out.
We just completed introduction of ECM and configured 1 review item for 2007. There were 6 plans each with a separate tab - Hourly Merit, Salaried Merit, Hourly Market Adjustment, Salaried Market Adjustment, Lump Sum Adjustment and a Summary tab. The columns that appeared on each tab were configured in the Object and Data Provider and each one was different. Both hourly and salaried employees appeared on all tabs, but no entry could be made in the Salaried tabs for Hourly employees and the same for Salaried in the Hourly tabs. The Summary tab was custom designed and had all information about both hourly and salaried and provided overall department totals.
To remove the tabs, you must remove the plans from the review. You did not explain which tabs or why, but if you wanted to separate the salaried tabs from the hourly, you would have to create two reviews and then select the plans you want to display in each. You would use the features to indicate which reviews would be available for which employees. The managers would then have two entries in MSS to select the reviews for the salaried employes or the reviews for the hourly. As explained above, we combined them so we could have department totals including all employees.

MSS---Compensation----Review Planning Approval Status Problem

Hi All,

I am having my organizational structure with five level approvals.
Whan i was submitting Compensation plan for my employees as an first level manager it went to higher level for approvals. as an higher level manager i rejected what ever the lower level manager was submitted for approvals. The status "rejection" was updating fine in infotype 0759 without running any reports.
again i submitted for approval as an first level manager to higher level manager for approval, this time i approved as an higher level but the "Approved" status is not updating in infotype 0759.
We are facing this issue with all level managers.
This is the first i am configuring MSS EHP4 Compensation Review Planning.
If any one facing this issue and having solution, please provide the proper solution.
Thanks in Advance.

Abhiram.
