SiteVisit/Information Request for Customizing Time Entry/Approval on ESS

Our organization is considering adding Time Entry & Time Approval to our Employee Self Service. The portal was just upgraded from EP6 to BW7.0 (our system is ECC 6.0). We currently use ESS for employee paystubs, benefits enrollment, membership campaigns, updating master data (address, bank information) and more.
We are looking for a Public Sector organization that has done Time Entry on ESS that would be interested in allowing us to do a site visit to gather information, ask questions and see your system. Please contact me if you are interested.
Also, even if you are not public sector, I am interested in any information about the ability to customize this functionality. We have the timesheet option up and running in ESS (in test) and I can enter time and it shows up in CAPS, but it needs to be customized to meet our needs. If you have done customization, I would love to see what your timesheets look like.
Most importantly we are looking for a site visit to gather information, but also any information about customizing the ESS timesheet would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my request.

I did not have any responses, but we no longer have the need. Thanks.

Employee information missing in CAT2 time entry data view

Hi,
We upgrade our system and when we go to time entry data view, we lost the employee information like Personnel number and cost center which displayed before upgrade.
I checked with Tcode CAC2, nothing found. But My guess is Personnel number and Cost center will be coming default.
Please let me know, where I can look in to it.

Hey Guys,
You should ensure that for any configuration, the Modifiable and Influences you have a Hide entry. This way you will not be able to show the field. Kindly check the on CAC2 these both sections:
- Modifiable
- Influences.
Thank you.

Transport Request for Custom Table??

Hi all,
I got the requriment for Custom Table.
"The table should have attributes such as the table contents can be transported from DEV to QA to PROD. Also the table can be maintained individually in QA or PROD too"
I have understood that I need to have "Delivery Class" as "C". But i want to know what should Transport request type: (Workbanch or Customizing)
thanks in advnace.

You say <i>"the table can be maintained individually in QA or PROD too" I have understood that I need to have "Delivery Class" as "C".</i>
If table must be maintained in QA and PRD, you need "Delivery Class" as "A". With "Delivery Class" as "C" you can only maintain table in DEV and transport entrie changes to the other systems.

Time record approval with ESS/MSS

Hello,
I am new to MSS and I am facing some problems. I would like to get the time approval process started.
The projects are set up with cProjects and then transfered to PS. The WBS-items are taken for the time recording. Now I would like to approve this time recordings.
Unfortunately I don't have an idea what has to be configured to use the uwl:
- I think that I need to customize CATS to use the workflow (but which one)
- and then to configure the UWL in order to get the items...
Is this true?
Navigation through the portal and calling "team" in the MSS-menu an uncaught exception occurs saying that I have to configure infotyp 0008 for the employee I am using. Why do I need to set up the infotyp 0008 in order to see my team?
Calling the application for approval direct leads to the MSS overview.
Could somone bring some light in my darknes and tell me what I have to configure so that the project manager / line manager can see the recorded time that needs to be approved?
Thanks in advance, Vanessa

Thanks ...we would implement both then and I assume that the approve Timesheet application would be under "Team" Workset but when I click on it ..I get the error as:
No Views found: Missing customizing:

Multiple time entry profile in ESS

Hi ,
We are implementing ESS on ECC6.0 and EP7.0.
In R/3 side we have multiple time sheet entry profiles, how can we implement the time sheet entry scenario in portal which allows multiple entry profiles because as per my understanding ESS user in portal would only be having ESS profile assigned to them.
Please let me know if we can have multimple profile implemented in portal.
Thanks
Ankur

In the old versions of the ESS business package (ITS based), we had the flexibilty to use more than one Time Entry profiles.
AFAIK, you might not be able to use more than one Time Entry Profile with the new versions of ESS BP (Webdynpro based). The application picks up the "CVR" parameter of the user. (Default profile is SAP).
Thanks,
Raj

How to Create Transport Request For custom table

Hello All,
I have and requirement to create transport request automatically when and record inserted in to the custom table.
Actually FI whe people create or delete some bank account from DEV client the transport request creates automatically and they transport that request to Quality and Production system to delete or create that account from all the systems. but when they delete the account all the informations related to that bank accounts get deleted from all the standered customize tables . to keep the track of that deleted account I have created one z table which is of type customize table. this table is filled automatically when any account get deleted from DEV system. now I want to pass that record to Quality and Production systems using transport request.
how can i create transport request when record get inserted into my ztable automatically.
Thanks in advance.
Vinod

Hello All,
This is a FAQ and has been answered many times before in the forum.
1. Maintain delivery class 'C' it will start asking for a TR: False. Delivery class has got nothing to do with the TR prompt. It determines how the data is to be transported. A delivery class 'C' will prompt for a customizing request, whereas a delivery 'A' will prompt for a workbench request.
2. For the system to automatically prompt for a TR you have to select the "Standard Recording Routine" in the table maintenance generator. This will prompt you for a TR every time you try to create / modify a record & save it to the DB.
Hope i am clear in my explanation.
If your table is filled automatically through some coding you have to add the entry to the TR programmatically.

Report of request for customer created by ZREQ

Dear all
we create the customers using the ZREQ1, i need create a report of all customer taht was created by day, in three ranges of time and in all status.
using the transaction /NESGLB/MGTDM01_QRC i can extract the request with status are finished or canceled, but i can't extract the request that was reworked and after finished. (If the workflow is in progress and was reworked i can get this status)
Someone, know how a can do this?
Thanks a lot

Transaction FD32 refers to AR application component to manage your receivables assigning a credit limit to each customer. When you post an invoice (in FI-AR) the system then checks whether the amount exceeds the credit limit. Facilities like the credit master sheet, early warning list or reports at credit management level help you to monitor the customeru2019s credit situation.
Transaction FD01 is used for create customer master data at a financial accounting view, grouping the information in general and company code, this is the minimun required in order to bill for a transaction.
I hope this will be helpfull.

Best Practice for CATTS time entry to Purchase Order

Hello All -
We have a scenario where we create a purchase order to a recruiting company for a contractor.
When the contractor works on our project and books hours via CATTs, we would like the hours to post back to the purchase order like a goods receipt.
What is the best way to do this? Service Entry Sheet or Goods Receipt?
if so, technically, what should be done?
Thanks for your help!

Well their first requierement was to get real time data .. if i am in Xcelsius and click refresh then i want it to load my last data ..
with live office , i can either schedule a crystal report and get the data delayed or use the option from live office to make iterfresh as right now .. is that a correct assumption ?
I was talking about BW, just in case they are willing to change the requierement to go from Real time to every 5 min
Just you know we are also thinking of the following option:
1 - modify the virtual provider on the CRM machine to get all the custom fields needed for the Xcelsius Dashboard
2 - Build some interactive report on the top of these Virtual Provider within CRM
3 - get the link to this report , it is one of the Report feature within CRM
4 - design and build your dashboard on the top of it
5 - EXport your swf file to the cRM web ui
we are trying to see which one is the best one

Use of Filter in Direct Database Request for Custom Navigation

Because of union and other complex sql code I am using Direct Database Request. (DDR) In 1st request based on DDR containing column Region, I need to do Region column value navigation to the Target report. The Target report is also based on DDR and has column Region.
For 1st Report Region Column Value Navigation to work
1. I did activate value interaction in 1st Report for Region column and set Target to Report 2.
2. In 2nd Report, I have to use Filter and make region column "Is Prompted". But in DDR the filter is not available. How do I solve this problem?

by using Direct database request your bypassing all the wanderful metadata you built in the BMM layer, as such much functionality is not available.
If you really need to use such complex SQL, I would suggest creating an inline view in the phyiscal layer and at least model this through your BMM either as a flat data source (ie include the dimension columns and model the same inline view into your BMM star)
If you do that, the BI Server will know what other logical columns this data source can relate you and you should find the navigation works as expected.
If you dont fancy that good practice, have a look at creating GOURL formulas as the column fx's, format as HTML to present the data as a hyperlink and manually pass all the parameters to the 2nd report.
I'd do the first option, its more inline with intended use.
What cant you do using the 'normal modelling / answers techniqes with union (see combined request in answers) and complex sql (evaluate function in RPD)??
