PCR WF in MSS

Hello All,
I have been trying to configure workflow for use in PCR forms in MSS.
I think I have already configured workflow, for the most part, but I am getting errors in the form of emails after initiating PCRs.
For a PCR without approval, I am getting the following error:
Executed Action: Exception Occurred
Error Message: Error when starting work item 000000002021 Message no. SWP085
This is followed by several other errors.
Can anyone guide me as to the reason of this error please?
Regards,
Motaz

This is something to do with your WF settings check with standard one and it will work

  • PCR's in MSS

    Hello,
    I am facing an issue with configuration part in MSS.
    i have configured the PCRs (using std Adobe forms) and standard SAP settings
    I am stuck at the workflow part of it
    Que: lets say Promotion: When the Manager raises a request, does the work item come in HR's worklist (UWL)
    currently I have assigned an Agent (which is an HR position)
    then when a manager raises a PCR (lets say Promotion) then the HR personnel gets a link in the NOTIFICATION tab
    in portal and not in Tasks so now, when this HR guys log's in into the portal he can go to this notification tab n work on this request we are using currently the 1 level workflow as mentioned in the docs
    WS50000041) (Approval process with one step approval)
    so the question is...
    is this a correct process or are we missing out on something
    also,
    The document says, it has to go to someone for approver
    approval...now where do we set that
    Please suggest....

    Hi,
    This issue is resolved.
    Solution / Resolution
    1. Is the mentioned process correct? (Messages coming to Notification tab of HR adm and then he processing from the same)
    a. while using WS 50000041, by default, the request goes to the immediate next OU's chief. On Approval, this work item is available for the Personnel Admin for completing the process.
    Note: By default, there was no rule assigned in TS 50000075 (Approver). So I have assigned standard rule 50000133.
    b. while using WS 50000031, we were unable to fnd any agent in rule 50000132 as there was no field available in the standard form for entering the first approval's name.
    2. As per one of the WF documents for one/tow level approval process, will the manager also Approve this request before it goes to the HR adm.
    Yes, in our case, the HR Admin was not having work item till the request was processed by the respective managers.
    Appreciate your help.

  • "Name not known" error in all PCR of the MSS Package

    Hi,
    I'm getting an error in the PCR workset of the MSS package.
    When I submit any form the error which I get is
    "Name not known.Check your entries" .
    Is this due to some problem in R/3 settings?
    Also when I submit a PCR "Request for separation(enhanced)" I get an exception.
    The log entry for this exception is as follows:
    _27##0#0#Error#1#com.sap.sup.admin.connector.AbapConnectorLauncher#Plain###Cannot start ABAP Connector Listener. Please try to configure the connection in ABAP Systems Management (Setup Local Connectivity).

    Hi Justin,
    With other words, you are using the BP for MSS 60.1.5 or later.
    Can you connect to the backend via a Java Connection?
    Also this link will guide you much further. It helped me a lot for the new MSS forms (ECC 50).

  • Setting up a sample PCR form in MSS

    Hello All,
    We are planning to implement MSS.  Initially , to start with and to see how the look and feel is , there is a need to to set up MSS and configure a PCR form ( ex.. Request for Separation). 
    following steps will be taken care by one team ( As per SAP Library for MSS)
       1.      Setting Up the System Landscape.
       2.        Assigning Portal Roles to Users.
       3.       Configuring the Internet Graphics Service.
       4.       Configuring the Adobe Document Services.
       5.       Setting Up JCo Connections for MSS).
       6.        Setting Up the Universal Worklist.
       7.        settings for the individual iViews .
    Question : Since we are planning to use a standard delivered PCR form..
                     what is the level of configuration needed on the R/3 ( IMG/SPRO) side.   Also what level of customizing is needed for ISR settings. 
    In short , just trying to get an estimate of how much of an effort will be needed from backend ( R/3 or IMG side) to set up MSS and to test a  standard PCR form
    using as much standard delivered stuff as possible.
    Regards,
    Mark

    It depends on the version of SAP & MSS.. anyway for an out-of-the box PCR, the effort would be minimal.. you might need the assistance of a Workflow resource to activate the workflow & setting up the Agents etc.. If you don'thave to add any additional fields to the PCR, I don't think there is anythingelse to do..

  • Previous Button is not working in PCR forms in MSS

    Hi All,
    We are configuring the MSS scenarios for PCR (Persnel Chaneg Reques) forms under the Work workset.
    I am able to select the pdf form review it and submit but what is happening is whenever I click the <b>previous step button</b>, I get the <b>Internet Explorer Error</b>, asking me send error report or Dont send. When I click dont send , it takes me back to the login screen.
    I checked the browser and tried in different system and they all working in the same manner as I described above.
    Is there anything I'm missing out? Did anyone encounter similar errors?
    Thanks for your help in advance
    regards
    -Madhu

    Hi Noel,
    Thanks for your response.
    Yes the IE crashes when I hit the previous step. I tried different IE settings still no go.
    We have implemented ECC6.0 (ERP2005), EP7.0 SP9 (NW2004s).
    Accoring to the note that you suggested (SAP Note 950797), it says
    NW2004 SP 15 will eleminate this problem. But I guess we are using more advanced version.. and still having the same issue.
    I will open an OSS also if there are any other suggestions please do let me know
    Thanks

  • PCR link in MSS

    Hi All,
    When I go to MSS tab . I click on team then it shows two PCR link .
    But it supposed to show only one PCR link.
    Can you please tell me why it is showing 2 PCR link.
    Usefull answer will be awarded.
    Thanks

    Hi Nilima,
    Somebody might have had made a copy of it, without your knowledge.
    Scroll down to MSS role in the PCD and open it by right clicking on it. Check if you have 2 entires of PCR there, which most likely would be.
    Open each of them separetly and you can find, "last edited by" property and delete one PCR and you are good to go.
    P.S Please ensure that you are deleting the right one, which was last edited or created by somebody from your team.

  • PCR implementation in MSS

    Dear all,
    I am implementing PCRs in MSS in my project. All Line Managers are defined as chief positions in their org units. 99% of forms are initiated by Line Managers. However, A few forms need to be raised by HR Manager. The HR Manager of an employee is stored as HR Administrator in employee's Infotype 0001, and not in the org structure. Can anyone please confirm that there is a way to configure team viewer for an HR Manager using the fact that we should show all employees for whom he is maintained as administrator in Infotype 0001? Any information will be highly appreciated.
    I had posted this in the POrtal forum, but no responses so far. Hopefully, someone will be able to answer this here.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Harish,
    Yes, there is a way to do this, although it involves a little development.
    Are you familiar with the Object and Data provider? This is the tool that SAP uses to identify the objects and rules used to provide objects when you use the team viewer (or other I-views developed by yourself).
    What you would need to do is to develop a function module that reads all employees that have your HR manager as administrator in the appropriate field of infotype 0001. Once you have it, you have to create (via customizing) a rule for object selection (see view V_TWPC_OBJSELRUL). Use your function module there. Afterwards you need to assign your rule for object selection to the object selection itself (see view V_TWPC_OBJSEL) and adjust the parameters of your team viewer Iview so that it uses this object selection.
    I strongly advise you to take a look at the object and data provider customizing (SPRO-integration with other mySAP.com components-business packages/functional packages-manager self service-object and data provider).
    There's one more thing that you need to consider: you need both line managers and HR managers to have access to their employees, but the rules for accessing them are obviously different for line and HR managers. So either you assign more than one object selection to your Iview (one defined for line and the other one for HR managers) and let the manager him/herself choose which one to use, or, you would need to create 2 different Iviews (each one of them assigned to the corresponding object selection) and assign these Iviews to 2 different portal roles that you will later in turn assign to one or other manager.
    Hope it helps.
    Good luck!

  • PCR in the MSS

    Hi gurus,
    we are having a problem with the PCR .When the lower manager submits the request it is succesfully submitted but it is not appearing in the other level Manager worklist or in the PCR status.We  are using the workflow 50000041 for all the PCR's.
    When I see in the lower manager history It is giving this message
    Result of agent resolution does not agree with agents of task.
    Please it's very urgent.

    Hi Leela,
    There are two options, the agents found for the task are not in the possible agents, or the agent which started the task doesn't have authorizations for the transaction in the task.
