MSS Record Working Times header

I am losing the employee's name in the screen header when I use a custom Webdynpro Application Configuration for Record Working Times on Behalf of Employee in MSS.
Here is what I've done...
The ZHRESS_AC_CATS_1_CP_1 in the screenshot below is an exact copy of HRESS_AC_CATS_1. I did not make any changes to it.
When I specify the standard HRESS_AC_CATS_1 in the Launchpad:
This is what the Record Working Times header looks like:
But when I specify ZHRESS_AC_CATS_1_CP_1 (EXACT copy of HRESS_AC_CATS_1) in the Launchpad:
This is what the header looks like:
Does anyone know why I'm losing the employee's name, and how I get it back?

Hello David,
I guess this is a limitation of CATS application.
Please go through the below thread carefully. You can find the hint in Martin's reply.

  • Header information not displaying in ABAP Webdynpro record working time

    1. I am not seeing the header information, personnel number, name, cost center, on the ABAP Webdynpro record working time timesheet. When I run the timesheet profile in CAT2 the header contains the personnel number, name, cost center, but these do not display when the ABAP Webdynpro timesheet is run
    2. Is there a version of the ABAP webdynpro timesheet that prompts for the personnel number, date and profile prior to executing the timesheet?  I want to define an ESS link for managers to update timesheets of individual teammates.  The teammate do not necessarily have to be their direct reports

    Hi David,
    CATS Webdynpro application is a OIF fpm. Please check if you have performed the FPM IDR configuration properly.
    In standard, the ESS CATS does not prompt for the personnel number except in CE scenario. In MSS addon, you have an option to launch the ESS CATS application on-behalf of the employee. Please refer to the sap library documentation.
    Hope this helps,

  • ESS & MSS - CATS regular/Record Working Time (Web Dynpro)

    Hello,
    SAP Library help (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/ef/e18d3f7057eb0ce10000000a114084/frameset.htm) says the following:
    Compared with CATS classic, the following constraints exist for this Web application:
    Since CATS regular is an Employee Self-Service application, time administrators or data entry personnel cannot recording working time data.
    Is there any workaround to solve it? I mean, we need to recording working time data centrally through ESS or MSS. That's possible? Any enhacement for that? No matter where to do it (ESS or MSS).
    Thanks!
    Miguel Angel.

    Hi Jigar,
    That's almost exactly the requirement we need to implement!
    Basically we need:
    a. The employees with computer will record their own working times via ESS
    b. For the employees without computer, their working times will be recorded via MSS by:
    1. their org unit superior OR
    2. someone like a time administrator defined in a custom list containing "employees for the time administrator".
    I mean, someone called "time administrator" will record working time for a determined numbers of employees, but this "time administrator" is not the org unit superior. It's possible?? This is the mostly case.
    Other requirements:
    - Default time sheets and target hours for employees (for each employee the corresponding time sheet and target hours)
    Thanks!!

  • Record working Time link in General Related Activities iView

    Hello Gurus,
        In the MSS Related Activities iView we have a link to navigate to Record Working TIme iView, but when I click on that link it is pointing to the production portal but I am testing in the development environment.
       So please any one help he me out whether do we have to maintain any URL.
       When I click Timesheet I can see the list of employees in employee search area and information in general section but when I click on the record working time link in the related activities area portal redirects me to the production portal URL and displays the production portal login screen. Please help me out in resolving the issue.

    Hmm this is interesting. Guess that's reason even when i am trying to call pdc location of iview  "Record Working Time" it is unable to load fpm application based changes and some of personalizations.
    Wondering if there is any way to generate or find absolute path to run these application, as they are running on Portal(it works just fine when i launch from my ESS role).
    http watch was not great help..
    Cheers,

    Check transaction ST22 for exceptions/errors (that is usually the first place...thanks to Barin Desai for drilling that into my head long ago...haha...make sure you set the dates to check correctly). If nothing there (there should usually be with this kind of error), then also check your JCO connetions for the WebDynpro (you can do this in the portal or through Visual Admin but you will need J2EE admin permissions).

  • ESS Record Working Time - How to set up approvals?

    Hello experts,
    I've hit a bit of a roadblock and could use some direction.  I have recently implemented the newer ESS_WDA role in our sandbox environment to see what it had all to offer.  Using LPD_CUST to customize the ESS launchpad role, instance = menu, I have successfully implemented the Record Working Time WD application and have it running fine.  Using CAC1 I created two profiles, ESS (without approvals) and Z_ESS_A (with approvals).  Using the ESS profile, a user can enter time into their ESS time sheet, save, and thus time is entered into CATS and their IT2001/2002.
    Now, Z_ESS_A is another story.  Some time this year, we'd like all our US administrative personnel to enter time using ESS Recording Working Time (HRESS_A_CATS_1) however, they would need to have all their time approved by their reporting manager (or a backup) before it goes into IT2001/2002.
    I'm a bit fuzzy on the process, but I would like the approval to be done by their reporting manager in Manager Self-Service using the Approve Time Sheet application (HRMSS_A_CATS_APPROVAL) and not by click on some link in their UWL.  I assume this is set up by assigning a task in the workflow section under Approval in the data entry profile, but I have no idea what task to assign.  Do we need to create a custom task? Am I on the right path or is there another path I should be pursuing?   Ideally, if the manager is unable to approve the associate's time sheet, we would have a backup enter their MSS and approve time sheets that haven't been approved by the direct manager yet.
    I did notice the Approve Working Time section in the IMG.  Is this where I need to set up the approvals?  I noticed a SAP_LINE view, however I read this uses a line manager relationship dictated in OM, however we do not use that relationship (A002/B002).  We simply use the A003 (Manages/Belongs to) relationships, thus the task would identify the chief of the org unit and use that relationship to decide who to send the time sheet approval to.
    Kind regards,

    Hi Garrett,
    System identified the Record working time profile from the value against User Parameter CVR in SU01.
    If you maintain ESS against CVR it triggers without approval
    If you maintain Z_ESS_A against CVR it triggers Approval process
    Some time this year, we'd like all our US administrative personnel to enter time using ESS Recording Working Time (HRESS_A_CATS_1) however, they would need to have all their time approved by their reporting manager (or a backup) before it goes into IT2001/2002.
    You need to change the CVR parameter value to Z_ESS_A for that period for all US administrative employees for that duration. Again you need to change it to ESS once that duration is over.
    but I would like the approval to be done by their reporting manager in Manager Self-Service using the Approve Time Sheet application (HRMSS_A_CATS_APPROVAL) and not by click on some link in their UWL.
    Below tick in CAC1 triggers workitems to UWL, if not only sent to Approve Time sheet application in MSS.
    I did notice the Approve Working Time section in the IMG.  Is this where I need to set up the approvals?  I noticed a SAP_LINE view,
    SPRO / PM/ ESS WDABP / Working Time/ Record working time/ Approve Working Time
    above is the navigation where you configure approval process.
    SAP_LINE is also a user parameter for managers in SU01 against CATS_APPR_PROF.
    So Employee SU01 - CVR = ESS or Z_ESS_A
           Manager  SU01 - CATS_APPR_PROF = SAP_LINE or Custom one.
    however I read this uses a line manager relationship dictated in OM, however we do not use that relationship (A002/B002).  We simply use the A003 (Manages/Belongs to) relationships, thus the task would identify the chief of the org unit and use that relationship to decide who to send the time sheet approval to.
    It doesn't work based on A002/B002 relation, it works based on Chief Relation (A012/B012) to Org.Unit.
    Let us say X is the chief for A org.unit, all the positions those belong to A org.unit shown under X as reportee employees, so X can be the approver for A1, A2, A3 and so on.
    Hope this give you an understanding.

  • Custom Search help in Record Working Time

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to add a custom field on RECORD Working Time ( ESS). This field has been added and custom search help is assigned to the data element of the field. The values in the F4 help should vary based on employees department.
    The related code for this requirement is written in the serach help exit. The F4 help is working as expected from backend ( ECC) but not in Portal (ESS).
    I have added the custom field in TCATS_SHLP_ITS. After maintaining this table all the values in F4 help are displaying , whereas it should only display the values under employees department in Record Working time.
    I understand the class cl_xss_cat_value_help_general is responsible for the search help in ESS is there any user exit or enhancement available for this class in order to control the serach values on ESS.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Pradeep

    note that search help of CAT2 and record working time are different!
    these are teh steps
    please modify the following in the table TCATS_SHLP_ITS as follows:
              1. Execute the T-Code SM31
              2. Enter the table name TCATS_SHLP_ITS.
    or check the class
    CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP_GENERAL
    or check
    CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP*
    take an example from Sap note 914125

  • Record Working Time task merging multiple employees into a single task

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm going to check our configuration again to see if this is standard behaviour, config, or a problem with EHP 3's version of record working time.
    So if employee A submits to manager A 1 task is created.  Then when employee B submits to manager A we were expecting 2 tasks.  However, we've been noticing manager A is getting 1 task with several line times. 
    We are ok with it merging tasks for employee A over multiple weeks.  That is ideal actually.
    The problem is that employee B's task should be separate.
    Is there a quick fix?
    Thanks,
    Doug Robbins

    I did try 31000007 and noticed the same behavior.  Are you saying I should use an older version of the task to get back to grouped by employee number and not merging everything? 
    Well this causing us issues for a few reasons. The main one we developed a work around because we had to make sure emails were not being sent to 1 person for all the employees with their data.  That would cause obvious security concerns. 
    But when forward tasks out managers want to be able to forward a specific employee's requests and not all of them.  If some customers want this it should be a configurable option.  To allow companies that want 1 single task or companies that want 1 task/employee/week.
    This is inconsistent with the other portal applications.  It would be nice if Germany picked 1 way of doing things or provided more configuration options.  I'm hoping that OSS gives us something because merging everything into a single task for all employees is not the behaviour we want or expected.
    I always appreciate your input because you have been very helpful as I learn about portal.
    Thanks,
    Doug R

  • How to restrict the dropdown values in Att/abs type in Record Working Time

    Hello experts,
    We are implementing ESS business package.  In the Record Working time, within the Weekly View and Daily View tabs, there is a column Att/abs.type which has several drop down values - like:  floating value, Funeral Leave, Military Reserve, Regular Attendance, etc.   Our requirement is to restrict the dropdown values  by means of showing only one of these values (say:  Regular Attendance) and others should not be shown.   How do we achieve this?
    Thanks
    Vicky R.

    Hi Siddarth,
    Thanks for the info.  By the way, this table info is not mentioned in the Business Package documentation.  Which documentation are you referring to?
    Thanks

  • Enhance legend in Record Working Time IView

    Hi,
    I am working on SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0(Service Pack 4). New NetWeaver functionality in Record Working Time section(of ESS>Working time ) allows employees to enter their working times for different attendance/absence types showing different colours in calendar for Rejected and Not Released statuses. Now the requirement is to include one more colour to show the approved times in the calendar. Ie, Currently legend has two colors with text,  like  (  <Red box> Rejected           <Light Red box>  Not Released), now i have to add   ' <Green box>  Approve '  beside   'Not Released' text,    and if manager approves the time sheet then those dates will be displayed in green color.
    If any body worked on the similar type of requirement or having knowledge....please let me know how to achieve this req.
    Thanks in advance.

    HI,
    You need to implement BADI for this ..
    BADI name : "PT_ABS_REQ"
    In the BADI "PT_ABS_REQ" interface "IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ" you can find the method
    "SET_CALENDAR_COLOR" in that you can set the colure for the Absent type ......
    Adjust Colors of Calendar and Team Calendar
    Functionality
    You can use this method to change the colors in the team calendar.
    In the standard system, the different statuses for requests have different colors. You can use this method to differentiate the colors of requests depending on the following aspects:
    Status of requests (status)
    Action that an employee has executed: new request, delete, change (UIA operation)
    Subtype of absence (SUBTY)
    Full-day or partial-day absence (BEGMT, where BEGMT = 0 signifies a full-day absence)
    Application mode ( mode). You specify the application mode in the Select Employees for the Team Calendar IMG activity.
    Color Display of Status of Leave Requests(COLORS_ACTIVE). You specify this status in the Specify How Leave Is Displayed and Default Values IMG activity.
    Available Colors
    You have a choice of 16 colors. The 16 colors are hard coded, that is, you cannot change them or add other ones.
    The available colors are stored with their RGB value as constants of the CL_PT_REQ_CONST class. Use these constants if you want to change the colors.
    Notes
    If you change the colors in the team calendar, you should also adapt the legend accordingly. You can use the Adjust Legend for Calendar and Team Calendar method to do so.
    Hope this work!!!
