MSS Time Approvals POWL - add fields

Hello,
We are implementing MSS Time Approval POWL on Portal and want to add Employee Subgroup and reduce the Widths of existing fields of the POWL Query 'Working Time Approval'.
The query used is MSS_POWL_CATS_APPROVAL_1 and the Feeder Class is CL_HRMSS_CATS_APPROVAL_POWL.
Any help would be highly Appreciated.

Hi Siddharth,
The links you provided above are useful but do not mention the exact place where the fields can be added.
When I digged further into it , I found that there are several Classes and Interfaces being used to build the Columns like
Class     :   CL_XSS_CAT_APPR_RFC_CMD_TOOLS
Class     :   cl_xss_cat_table
Table Type    :    HRXSS_CAT_COLUMN_INFO_T
Interface    :           IF_XSS_CAT_COLUMN_INFO
Class        :          cl_xss_cat_column_info
Class        :             CL_XSS_CAT_TABLE_TS_BASE
Where's the exact location where the code needs to be added ?
Please help.

MSS Time Approvals - Send Email on Rejection

Hello All,
We are on ERP 2005, MSS 1.0.
We are using the standard webdynpro application " Approve Time sheet data"
in MSS ( not using workflow ). In the MSS -> Time approval piece of IMG we can check mark a box that says "send email on rejection". This email however is sent to the employee's R/3 Inbox (not workflow inbox). We would like this email to be sent an external email id - how can this be achieved ?
Thanks,
Mark.

Only Action items go to the Workflow inbox ie Notifications that reuiqre an Action to be preformed by the User on the Workitem. In this case, I guess it is just an information sent to the User & hence going to the SAP in-box.

Add field to MSS General Information

Hi experts,
I'm trying to customize the iviews in MSS > General Information to add fields to the iViews. Thus, I need to identify what are the function modules they are calling. However, when I open sap.com/mss~eepro/ Web Dynpro component in NDWI, I could not see any model! Can anyone explain to me how does this application work then if it has no model to store function modules?
THanks,
Zm

Hi,
if you have access to ECC System go to transaction ST05 and run the trace with the user who is having access to run the iView. after it is on go to portal and run the General Information iView. after executing that go back to ECC system and switch off the analysis and see the RFC trace.
it will show all the Function Modules that are called when executing the iView.
and it is better if we don't make any changes to the standard FM and instead use the custom FM to add the fields, since we did the same sought of development using custom fm.
creating a model and making changes to the application.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod

MSS Time Approval - multiple (different) selection options for manager?

Hi all
I am setting up MSS Time Approval delegation in ERP2005 without workflow, leave request, nor portal development environment set up.
In this case, the customer needs to have multiple selection options for who to approve:
1. The manager's direct reports (standard functionality)
2. All subordinates, all levels down
3. Delegate's (manager or non-manager) view of a particular (other) manager's direct reports
3b. This might extend to a set of different delegation selections
4. Add or remove certain individuals
Now, getting 3. and 4. to work was simple using the BAdI (I think the enhancement spot is named APPR_CUST), method ...-edit_selection, but I am having difficulties with 2. and 3b. Now I am thinking along these lines, and I would greatly appreciate your input:
A. It seems that the MSS "Approve working time" app only loads the data selection at the entry into this screen (INIT command from portal), using the start perspective determined for example by the IMG for defining the approval profile <-> view. My debugging suggests that the view change from the drop down menu (CHANGE_PERSPECTIVE command) only picks a different way to present the same data set.
Could anybody please confirm or contradict this conclusion?
B. Is it possible to present the entire "Approve working time" section in MSS in multiple different copies so that they would all generate an INIT command? Or is it possible to copy and modify the entire MSS tab, resulting in an ESS tab, one MSS, one "D"SS, one "A"SS (well, not suggesting that the top manager is one, but you get the drift...) and so on?
If either of this were possible, it would be simple to make two modifications, one at the beginning of the FM called by the portal and one at the FM that returns the start perspective.
So far I have been trying to catch and alter the CHANGE_PERSPECTIVE command into an INIT in the back end, but the Time Approval functionality is a bit too complex for me to feel entirely comfortable with this approach.
Your input is much appreciated!
Kind regards
Niclas Arndt

We too are using MSS for time approval of time entered via ESS. We are on ECC 6.0 for the backend (no enhancement packs, at least not yet), currently sp stack 10 with hrsp 24, and EP 7.0 with stack 10 for the ESS/MSS business packages. We are using the standard MSS UWL functionality for the approval, so it is workflow-based in my understanding.
In other parts of MSS, the managers can see a few levels deep in the organization structure, based upon the definition we gave for their structural profiles. For instance, in the team calendar/overview, or other team information, they have a choice for multiple levels or only direct reports. However, in the time approval application, only direct reports are shown, so if a manager goes on vacation, at present the only way to cover time approvals for that manager's employees appears to be to temporarily assign a new 'chief' to that org unit, so HR involvement becomes necessary. The manager doesn't have any method for delegating the approval or other MSS authorities. We were hoping that by allowing multiple levels in the structural profile, such approvals would "roll up" to the next level, i.e. the manager's supervisor, so the next level manager could act as a backup to his/her managers on vacation. That doesn't work, however.
We have heard that a delegation feature for MSS will be available in an upcoming release, but I haven't found any information regarding whether that requires an upgrade, an enhancement pack, a later service pack level, or what or when that functionality will be available. Does anyone know anything about that?

Add fields so clients can sign electronically and send back

I've read a bunch of discussions about how to add fields to forms but none of them answered all my questions.
What I'd like to do is add a signature and text field (for date) to a PDF so that my clients can send them back signed electronically. I do not want to use EchoSign.
I have Acrobat Pro v9.5.2. I added a signature field and text field per http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/acrobat/pdf/A9-creating-accessible-pdf-forms.p df. I read on an Adobe forum that I was supposed to go to Save as > Reader Extended to allow the user to sign the document and send back to me signed. However, all I have as save options are Save or Save As. There's no Save As > Reader Extended option and when I choose Save As the "Save as type" does not include Reader Extended either.
Please post step by step instructions for how to do this (add 2 fields, save doc, send to client, have them sign and fill in fields and send back to me completed). Surely we can do this with 9 yes?
Thanks so much in advance!

Here are full instructions for version 9.5.2 in case they're helpful to anyone:

af:query component "Add Fields" clarification

Hi, in the advanced mode of <af:query> using the "Add Fields " function , duplicate fields(same search field can be added multiple times) can be added. Is this a bug or a feature. Where can i refer the doc to confirm this . Thanks.

I don't know that the documentation specifically says anything about this. [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31973/af_query.htm#BGBCHFEF]here is one piece of documentation.

Add field in 'Subsequent Outbound Delivery Split' subscreen in VT01N tcode

Hi,
My Requirement:
Add field STFAK in the report in 'Subsequent Outbound Delivery Split' subscreen in VT01N transaction. This field is to be added in Structure LEDSPD_LIST_ITEM, and value in it is to be mapped from MARA-STFAK.
Steps to the Subscreen 'Subsequent Outbound Delivery Split' :
1. Transaction:VT01N. Enter TransportPlanningPt and Shipment type
2. Click on 'Deliveries' button. A subscreen for 'Select Outbound Deliveries' pops up
3. Click on Execute. A list of deliveries is retrieved
4. Select a delivery. Click on 'Split Deliveries' button. Subscreen 'Subsequent Outbound Delivery Split' pops up.
Issue:
I have added the field in the structure LEDSPD_LIST_ITEM. However, it is not displayed on the report generated in 'Subsequent Outbound Delivery Split' subscreen in VT01N transaction.
Also, to map the value in this field, I need to make changes in the program/screen exit/BADI. I am unable to find the exact program/screen exit/BADI where I can make the changes.
Request to Experts:
I have referred several posts on SDN, but have not found anything of relevance. I am debugging also since quite some time, but am yet to come to a relevant solution. Please guide me to a solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance,

Add field group to Asset Master Data Screen Layout

Hi Gurus !!
Does anybody know how to add field group in SPRO(Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data)?. I have created my layout by coping 1000, but then I need to add Fund Center in Time-Dependent data logical field group.
Thanks a lot,
Sasha

I don't think you can add a funds center to the Time dependent tab.
Instead you need to use Derivatuon strategy. Use tcode FMDERIVE for strategy and FMDERIVER for GL accounts to cost center and cost centers to asset numbers or number range. From here the system derives teh funds center.

MSS Time Approval - Detailed approval view shows time data for different PN

Hi Experts,
We're using the standard MSS time approval without workflow and here're 2 issues we have:
There're multiple time records for multiple employees in MSS for approval.
1. When manager tried to select all the records for one employee and click the "Approve" button in the collective approval screen, then all the records will be approved including records of other employees.
2. When manager click the hours of one record for a certain employee to go to the detailed/individual view, other employee's time data will be displayed in the detailed view window.
Please help!
Thanks,
Hongling

Hello Kamalbabu,
after Migration of our ess applications from WebDynpro JAVA to Web Dynpro ABAP we have a problem that sounds similar to the one you descriped above.
In POWL the button 'details' (detail view) for leave request approval seem to have no function.
Because your post is a few years old, I guess you solved the problem and hope you can share your solution with us.
You will find more information about our specifc problem in this threat: http://scn.sap.com/message/15482063
Thank you.

Add Fields in S_ALR_87013570

Hi All,
I want to add fields in ALV in transaction S_ALR_87013570.
The way i find is to copy the program but it seems very complicated because of 2 things:
First one, there are a lot of programs to copy and if a update comes, the copy will not be updated...
Second one, the program seems to be "mandant (system)" dependent...
Sorry, i've checked now and the program is not System dependent... There was an "If sy-mandt <> XXX".
I copy the first part and when i activate it, if i try tu use it in my "test mandant", an error appears and say "Program could only be used in mandant (system) XXX".
Could somme one tell me how to use this program in other mandant (system) (i try to transfer it with scc1 but don't work)?
And is there any other way to add fields in report S_ALR_87013570?
Thanks
Luis.

MSS Time Approval

Hi,
We are using ECC 6.0 and ERP2005 BP MSS 1.0. We are trying to implement the MSS Time Approval iView, it works for the direct reporting manager approving his/her employee's timesheet. We are not using workflow, the managers from time to time use the time approval web application to approve time.
The old time approval application is using Manager Desktop and support delegation. Using the new web time approval, I am not sure how to enable delegation to another managers so that they can approve others' employees timesheet delegated to them. Any ideas how we can enable delegation are very much welcome.
Thanks in Advance,
Ti.

We too are using MSS for time approval of time entered via ESS. We are on ECC 6.0 for the backend (no enhancement packs, at least not yet), currently sp stack 10 with hrsp 24, and EP 7.0 with stack 10 for the ESS/MSS business packages.

Add field to a team project

Hi everybody,
Is there a way to add fields for teamprojects ?
I want to add a custom field for each teamprojects of my collection and set an ID.
This ID is unique and is used for other applications, so I would like query it by code.
Thanks

Hi Mathieu,
Thanks for your post.
First, you needn’t add the ID in team project. Each team project’s name is unique in collection, and each team project has its own ID. So you can query the team project using its name in code, please refer to below code snippet:
TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs =
new
TfsTeamProjectCollection(new
Uri("collectionURL"));
tfs.EnsureAuthenticated();
WorkItemStore workitemstore = tfs.GetService<WorkItemStore>();
//get team project using team project name
Project teamproject = workitemstore.Projects["teamprojectname"];
Console.WriteLine(teamproject.Id);
//query team projects in collection
var teamprojects = workitemstore.Projects;
foreach(Project
tp in teamprojects)
Console.WriteLine("Team
Project name: {0}, Team Project ID: {1}", tp.Name, tp.Id);
