SAP ESS/MSS Functional Guide

Hello Experts,
I am new to ESS/MSS, so can anyone provide me with a proper Functional & Technical guide on ESS/MSS, also it would be great if you all provide me with a specific configuration guide on installing ESS/MSS. I have already searched some forums on this, but there was no concrete doc available.
I already have ESS / MSS Configuration (SAP Best Practices for SAP HCM V2.600) (N06) Building Block Configuration Guide & ESS HELP CAESS .
But if you have something more on this then please share.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit Naik

Hi
Maybe you can follow the following steps :
1.you need to identify what is your requirement for the Employee and the Manager.
2. you need to sit with your portal consultant to check out what views are available for the functionality required.
3. You need to create a ess user (your basis consultant can help you to do that by running hruser)
4. you can login onto the portal and check out whether the standard views have what you require or is there some change required.
4. they you can go to the r/3 system and and use transaction simg_sport for getting to mss configuration quickly.
5. Ess configuration you will find at under spro-> personnel management - > employee self service- > service specific settings...
A guide to configure will be very generic and may not directly help. the documentation against each spro node is quite helpful. do write for any other specifics.
all the best.

  • SAP ESS / MSS Project - Multiple countries

    Hi experts,
    I'm starting a new project with a multinational client to implement SAP ESS / MSS Portal in multiple countries.
    What should be the best approach to implement ESS and MSS roles:
    - Create different roles for different countries (example: 1 ESS and 1 MSS role for each country)
    - Use the same roles for every countries (using only 1 ESS and 1 MSS role for all countries). If using this approach I will have to hide some services that are not to be used in every countries. If so, how can I hide these services?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    AS

    each country is provided with its own set of services and roles and accordingly users are assigned
    There will be standard role for each country
    to hide services you can use proxy classes til ehp4 and above that we have
    from ehp5
    Proxy class has been replaced with the BADI HRESS_MENU. Proxy class
    is not used anymore for ESS ABAP applications.
    Henceforth this BADI can be implemented for all the dynamic changes for
    ESS Menu.
    You can find the documentation for BADI HRESS_MENU under
    Portal Role Employee Self-Service(WDA)->Employee
    Self-Services Menu (Application HRESS_A_MENU)->Dynamic
    Rendering of the Menu (BAdI HRESS_MENU).
    Please find the help documentation link for BADI HRESS_MENU.

  • ESS/MSS functional

    Hi all,
    For sometime now I am struggling for an answer.
    What does an ESS/MSS functional consultant do! What is the purview of knowledge he needs to have!!
    Does he needs to know business packages and roles! Does he needs to know enterprise portal!
    If so to what extent in portal!!
    Regards,
    Bharat

    If you are an HR functional consultant then you only need to see what customizations are possible for services being offered in ESS/MSS and how to undergo those changes. Some portal knowledge can be helpful specially on System objects front. Rest only fundamental basics in portal are good enough.
    being a functional consultant you need NOT to go for HR290...
    It is all for technical people.
    You can infact opt for Customization of ESS/MSS business package - HR255

    Hi Sudhira
    You should install EHP5 which was released last Thursday as there have been major changes in ESS/MSS and it is delivered in WDA vs the earlier releases which was WDJ.
    Good luck.

  • SAP ESS/MSS Config required

    Hi All,
    Can anyone send me the documentation on configuration of ESS/MSS in SAP. And I want to know from functional side, what would be our roles and responsibilities with respect to the implementation of ESS/MSS.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Vasu.

    Hi Vasu,
    As Functional Consultants, we make the customizing in two ways:
    - General settings: to define the links to ESS-MSS apps from homepage and its behaviour
    - Specific settings: to define the behaviour of ESS-MSS applications, i mean define valid subtypes for infotypes from Personal Information, the process for leave time request, the salary statement form to display, who's who fields and grouping, etc...
    Also, depending on the size, requirements and technical scope of your project, you may do some tasks as a Portal Consultant, i mean define Roles and User Groups, look & feel basical activities & any other Portal functional config.
    Usually in a middle or big-size project there is an expert Portal Consultant in the team who make this job (and also technical tasks). But again, that depends on your project.
    A good guide for ESS-MSS:

    Kind regards in your implementations!

  • SAP ESS/MSS UI5

    Hello,
    I have been trying to test the SAP UI5 ESS/MSS through the NWBC. I have activated the necessary business functions HCM_ESS_UI5_1 and HCM_ESS_WDA_3 and the relevant services in SICF. But when I tried accessing the ESS I am getting the below error:
    Please let me know what am I missing here.
    Thank you,
    Balajii

    Hi Siddharth,
    How are you?
    I have tried testing the ESS service from PFCG as well. I still get the same error.
    Do we need Gateway system to run the UI5 services?

  • Regarding ESS MSS in sap hr

    Dear Experts,
    The client has Indian Payroll and Organization Management implemented in R/3.Now the client wants to go for ESS and MSS module.I am new to the ESS MSS module.As a demo I have asked to configure it in IDES.Beofre configuring it in IDES does EP consultant have any role in that.Please tell me what role does EP consultant have and in which phases?. What are the dependencies of SAP HR consultant on EP consultant and ABAP Consultant
    Also to start my configuration in ESS MSS please guide me from where to begin with.In case if u have any configuration documents,Please share. Does the SAP Press book on ESS MSS helps?. Where can I find relevant material for this configuration.
    Thanks In advance

    Hi,
    Yes, EP consultant and ABAP consultant require for bit configuration.
    SAP Press book will help upto certain but I would suggest refer SCN document to configure ESS and MSS.
    Initial steps briefly:
    1. Activate the business functions ( HCM_ESS_WDA_1 and HCM_MSS_WDA_1 if EhP5 using t code - SFW5.
    2. Active the services ( Called as application) using T Code SICF. Here, EP consultant may require. But you can also do the same.
    3. View the standard application (services) using test service option.
    4. If you want to use Launch pad then configure ESS Role using LPD_CUST.
    5. Copy standard ESS menu to ZESS and assign to application HR*ESS*MENU using SE80.
    Here, you will require ABAPer.
    6. Assign Portal ESS and MSS role to user.
    7. Also assign SAP*ESS*EMPLOYEE role to ECC user using SU01/PFCG.
    This are the major steps to start basic ESS and MSS application. Further you have to configure application configuration.
    Hope this will help. Please let me know further details required.
    Thanks,

  • Upgrading SAP ESS and MSS after HR upgrade in ECC 6.0

    Hello
    I am new to SAP netweaver.
    Our landscape has an ECC 6.0 system integrated with EP 7.0.
    We recently upgraded our SAP HR from 600(SP 48) to 600(SP61) and EA HR component from 603(SP 22) to 603( SP 35).
    After the upgrade we came to know that the portal users are facing some issues with Etime application on portal, i did a bit of searching and found that we have to upgrade SAP ESS, MSS and ERP5COM components. (http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/HOWTOGETRIDOFSPSTACKMISMATCHISSUES)
    My questions are:
    1) Can we directly apply SP's for ESS, MSS and other components as i cannot find any prerequisites required to be met before they have to applied?
    2)If we have ESS SP 04 and the required version is ESS SP07, can we directly apply SP 07 or we have to first apply in a sequence SP05, SP06 and then move to SP07?
    Thanks a lot!
    Varun

    Hello,
    1) If a developer modified the ESS/MSS package, you need to ask the developer before you apply the patches. In this case, you find the "local version is modified" text in the corresponding package.
    2) Java Patches are cumulative, which means that higher Patch contains all corrections of lower Patches.([SAP Note 1249886|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1249886])
