You've all the customizing in SPRO > Personnel Management > Employee Self-Service > Service-Specific Settings > Working Time > Leave Request
You define:
1) A Rule with certain settings
2) Absences/Attendances to display in ESS, with certain settings, and its assignation to a Rule
3) A WF (commonly based on standard 12300111) --even you could not use a WF, check customizing
4) Run process (manually or not) for analyze, correct and delete or save the entries finally in SAP through PTARQ transaction
And,Is there any standard functionality in ESS Leave Requests that if a User raises a Leave Request and want to extend the leave...is there any rule that User First cancel the previous Leave Request and raise a New Leave Request .
The employee can be able to cancel the request even when attendance/absence was approved. You define this behaviour for each Absence/Attendance in customizing.

ESS Leave Request - Customer fields default function not working

Hi,
a. SAP version being discussed
SAP ECC6.0
EP7.0
ESS/MSS
b. Here is the scenario
1. We are using ESS Leave Request application for employees to request leave. We are using the standard web dynpro java leave request application delivered by SAP.
2. Lately there has been a need to provide a customer field on the request form which will have a calculated value showing up when the employee opens the request
3.We used one customer field called customer01 as per configuration steps.
4. This field appears on the request form when it is opened.
5. Our need is to display a value in that field when the form is opened.
6. SAP/s documentation states that we can use BADI PT_ABS_ARQ to default a value to this field on the form. This value is calculated during runtime dynamically.
7. We have used the method IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SIMULATE_VIA_BLOP for this purpose
8. After activating and coding this implementation, the system does not default anything on the request form when it is opened up.
9. Once the employee hits the review button, this field gets its defaulted value but this is not what we want. We want the system to display this when the form is OPENED, that means at the prepare stage. For this field to appear after hitting the review button is meaningless as the employee needs to make a decision based on the value in this field before hitting the review button.
It almost seems like this BADI is called when the review button is hit and not when the form is opened up. We may be wrong and missing something obvious which one of you can immediately point out, Hence this post.
10. I did go thru the forum at great length and seen that there has been discusion surrounding the need to populate R3 from a value entered into this field. My problem is different wherein, I wish to populate this upfront as display information when the form is opened and then send it back to R3, once the employee submits the request.
Would be grateful if anybody on this forum could point me in the right direction.
Thank you,
Rajesh

Please, can I take this question a little further.
Is it possible to add more fields to the leave request form on the ESS portal. For example, our customer wants additional fields like reason for leave, contact residential and telephone number during leave, Require leave entitlements (Yes/No).
Would appreciate if a reply can be given on if it is possible or not and what to be done if it is possible.
Cheers

Retreive leave request details in PT_TIMREQ

Hi,
I am working on the standard leave request workflow (PT_TIMREQ) and I would like to add a complmentary functionality that sends email notifications to the manager's assistant. I need to retreive the leave request details from the workflow container:
- date of the request
- length of the leave
- type of leave
I am trying to find these information in the workflow container but can't manage to do it.
Can someone give me a hand on that issue ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thibault

Hi,
You can find the details of the leave request from the following tables:
ptreq_header ->
ptreq_items ->
ptreq_attabsdata
Not all the data that you mentiond is available in the container, so you need to build some additional functionality to the workflow to get the data.

Enhancement in ESS Leave Request

Hi Gurus,
I am new to webdynpro Java. I have a requirement to add a custom button in a Standard ESS leave request (Webdynpro Java) view. When i click the the button it has to call popview(not sure is it possible to call a webdynpro abap view). If possible explain me with step by step preocedures(with screen shots).
Thanks,
Mohammed

Hi,
          Good, you are now able to do modification in Standard ESS package. If you want to navigate to another WDABAP iView from your WDJAVA application, you can use the below code on some button or link action to navigate to another iView.
Check this link:-
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/navigation/api/WDPortalNavigation.html
public void onActionnavigateToToAbapiView(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionnavigateToAbapiView(ServerEvent)
     try
                    WDPortalNavigation.navigateAbsolute(
                     "ROLES://portal_content/com.demo.DEMO_PCD/com.demo.ESS_SAP/com.demo.iview_ESS/demo.com.java_demo_com_demodc_demo_com_DemoApp",
                     WDPortalNavigationMode.SHOW_INPLACE,
                     "Window Title", WDPortalNavigationHistoryMode.NO_DUPLICATIONS,
                     "Title",
                     "",//ContextURL
                     "param1=10&param2=portalID");
     catch (Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
You will find your WDAbap PCD location in Content Admin, copy it and repace PCD: with ROLES at start.
also you can pass parameters between 2-iViews, in the above code snippet you can find that.
the above code needs to be written in your source iView so as to navigate to destination iView which is mentioned using its PCD location.
to retrieve the parameters you need to check ABAP syntax to retrieve URL parameters.
In java we retreive using below syntax:-
String param1 = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param1");
String loginID = WDProtocolAdapter.getProtocolAdapter().getRequestObject().getParameter("param2");
to show it as a Pop-Up you need to find some work-around to achieve it, If i get time will do it and let you know, but if you find something for that do share.

ESS leave request

Dear friends
in ESS leave request workflow , in approval process task i am maintaining 10 days deadline , after that by using process control i am making the workitem to be obselete , then same leave request is going to supervisor's supervisor . this is properly working, my problems are
when the first supervisor opens some other leave request still the escalated leave request is showning in the table , still system is allow him approve . and also in the supervisor's supervisor inbox then workitem remains if he opens the workitem there is no any leave for approval in that table , so deadline mointerting is not working propely for ess leave request , and also in supervisor's supervisor inbox workitem is not going out from uwl .
how to do deadline mointering for ESS leave request workflow ,
can any one help on this
reason which i could identify is details are picking from the document database based on the approver .

You should check the forum, I think I saw a thread in the last two days which stated that deadline monitoring is not working for the leave request. (it could be the HCM forum). So this would be why the handling is not working as expected.
The problem of no leave to be approved for the manager could be prevented if you set a terminating event on the task which will be triggered when the leave is approved.

ESS leave request 2 level workflow??

Hi friends,
Does anyone know how to create a 2 level workflow in ESS leave request?? im not able to find any solution for this.
looking forward for your reply...
thanks in advance
sudhir

Hi Sudhir,
You dont have to create a new status for such scenarios. The Java WD Leave Application lists all the Leave Requests that are in SENT status. So after the first approval is done, the status is set to APPROVED in case if it is approved. Now, we have to reset it to the status SENT if you have one more level of approval.
This can be achieved in 2 ways.
1) Changing your Standard Class's coding as suggested by SAP in the above thread.
2) You create one custom BOR with one method - RESETSTATUS - Which resets the status of the Leave Request back to SENT. You can get the required coding from APPROVE method of the above mentioned class.
I followed the second method.
I hope this should clear our problem.

Raja Sekhar

ESS Leave Request - Set Workflow status to Completed

Hi,
We are on ECC 5.0 and we are using ESS to process Leave Requests. We have a custom Workflow based on the standard Workflow template WS12300111 for approval of Leave Requests.
Whenever an employee creates a Leave Request via ESS the Workflow is started. When the employee deletes the request the Workflow has to be stopped/completed. For this we have put a Wait for Event step in a parallel branch to the Approval Process. In the Wait for Event step we wait till a condition ( Request.status = DELETED ) is met.
But when an employee deletes a Leave Request the request is deleted from the list but it gives a message as "Specify a class name".
Can anybody please help us on this( how to complete the workflow whenever the Request is deleted ) and let us know what is the procedure to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Immanuel

Hi Prashanth
Thanks for your quick reply. But that would not solve my problem. My Workflow looks something like this
                           WF-started by entries in configuration tables
                         Some activity in background
                     A fork with 2 parallel processes
                    Approval     Wait for an exception condition using Wait for event step
                      process          (wait till an attribute of a object has a specific value)
                          Workflow completed
The wait step waits for the status of the object to change to DELETED. The Workflow should get completed either if the Approval process is over or the condition specified in the Wait step is satisfied.
But in the case of ESS Leave Request this doesn't work. Is there anything that we need to do to set the status of the Workflow to Completed if the Leave Request is deleted.
Thanks

ESS leave request workflow -WS12300111

Hello Experts
I need to develop ESS leave request workflow by making copy from WS12300111. We are using SAP 4.7 and EP 6.0. And ESS and MSS is not yet deployed in EP.I tried to open this workflow in Workflow builder. Its saying that the task 12300111 does not exist. I have seen this workflow in ECC 6.0.
Is WS12300111 not available in SAP 4.7? or after deploying ESS,will it be available in SAP 4.7?
Please help me out...
Thanks&Regards,
Hemalatha

hi Hemalatha
I think in 4.7 you can't get that workflow. In ECC6 you can see the workflow. In EP you can't the visual see the workflow like that ECC6. i have developed multileve ESS workflow. take the copy of the standard workflow ws12300111 and do the customization according to your need. Check with the support pack with the portal and basis team. ESS will support only more that sp18 i guess. check with your basis team.

ESS Leave request workflow : ws12300111 : Customizing

Dear experts,
I need to customoze ESS leave request workflow WS12300111.
Can you please tell me do I need to Copy this to a NEW workflow generating a new WF no or can I simply generate a new version for this only ? What is ideal ?
1. Can anyone tell me step by step process(config) in ESS leave application workflow?.(SWFVISU????)
2. Is workflow WS12300111, the only workflow that I need to look for leave application ?.
3. If it is WS12300111 I dont see any start event for this workflow. So how is it getting triggered?
4. For the approval task TS12300097, agent determination is done by expression &Agent_0001.Agents&. How does it interact with Org.Structure.
5. In my scenario, approver should be supervisor of the employee applying for leave. If it is pending with this approver for 5 days it should go to the next up level manager.
For identifying first level approver is &Agent_0001.Agents& enough.? For identifying 2nd level approval do I need to write a rule ?
Kindly help.

Hi Sourav,
Try this step by step process(config) in ESS leave application workflow.
ESS Scenario
Workflow Process 20000081 u2013 Create Leave Request with HTML
Steps for triggering the workflow:
1) The employee logs with his user name in the ESS web page.
2) The employee creates a leave request with an optional note and sends it to the appropriate approver (usually his supervisor). The approveru2019s name is automatically displayed in the leave request form and the employee can replace him with another if such a change is needed.
3) The approver (us approver) logs on to sap system or to ESS
web pages and reads his mails in the SAP Business Workplace. The employeeu2019s leave request form appears in the workflow inbox with approve and reject options.
A) If the us approver approves the leave request, he pushes the
button approve from his mailbox (processing status A with
approve). A screen is appeared with a box (Table entry: 0001)
and the approver must push the button continue in order that
the workflow is continued. Then the form is sent to the
employeeu2019s mailbox in Sap. When the employee opens his mails, he receives a note in his inbox that u201Cthe absence from u2026. To u2026..has been approved byu2026.u201D.After that the absence is
automatically created in the sap system. Then the approver gets a mail (notification of completion & Return u2026u2026).
B) When the approver cancels a leave request, he pushes the
button reject and the processing status changes to u201CRu201D.
Then the same form appears

ITS - ESS stand-alone solution for 4.7
This solution allows customers to schedule the 4.6C or 470
install / upgrade independently from the Enterprise Portal or
mySAP Workplace implementation and will be supported at least as long as SAP R/3 4.6C and R/3 Enterprise is supported.
This ESS stand-alone menu is intended solely to allow independent scheduling of the 4.6C or 470 upgrade and the Enterprise Portal / mySAP Workplace installation. To use this solution, you have to take the following steps:
1. If you do not already have R/3 4.6C, HR support package 8,
please import HR support packages to at least this level. From
HR support package 8 and above, the correct services are
implemented. For 470, the corresponding recommended HR SP is 16 (See note 621589)
2. Verify that the ITS you want to use does not contain a service or service-related files (HTML templates, MIME files) for the services PZLE, PZM3 or PZM3_start. If you find these files,
delete them.
3. Publish the services PZLE, PZM3 and PZM3_start from your R/3 4.6C system (or R/3 470 system whichever is the case) to your ITS using the SAP@Web Studio or the IACOR service.
4. Maintain the username-employeenumber assignment in your system by customizing Infotype 0105, Subtype 0001 of those employees, who should be able to use ESS.
5. Verify that your users have proper authorizations for
executing RFCs (that is, authorization object S_RFC) from the
function group EH08. If you run into problems, this is most
likely due to missing RFC authorizations to start the service
PZM3.
6. Your users should now be able to access ESS by starting the service PZM3. They can do this by entering a URL like
http://<ITS server>:<http port>/scripts/wgate/pzm3/!
(the ! at the end is essential).
7. ESS 4.70 Unicode System ITS 6.10 patch level 29 and above (With IE and Netscape). ITS 6.20, patch level 6 and above (With IE only).
The ESS development tested these ITS versions.
8. For Release 4.6C, ESS has the same browser requirements as the HTML (see also note 178788) and the mySAP Workplace 2.11 (if ESS is accessed through the mySAP Workplace 2.11).
Hope it helps.Do award points if found helpful.

Next level approver in ESS leave request

hi friends
Am working in ESS leave request workflow. In my scenerio there are 4 level approver. I have function module SWX_GET_MANAGER i have copied and customized to ZSWX_GET_MANAGER with my logic to get the next level approvers. If i entered the PERNR it return all the approver for that employee. How do the workflow know he is the 2nd level approver, he is the 3rd level approver. How can i achieve it. kindly help me...
Regards
vijay

Hi Vijay,
I think you will need to use a loop and a counter so you know the approval level. You can use this to get the manager who belongs to the level.

Martin
PS I hope you will show in the thread which solution you got so others will benefit. This forum is about sharing knowledge and one way is to give the solution in your thread, or value the appropriate answers.
