Timeout functionality in Leave Approval

Hi Guys,
We are working on a R12.1 version, and we have a requirement on AME approval timeouts in SSHR leave managmente.
If a approver dosent take action for 3 days, the approval should route to manager manager.
is there a workaround for such a feature?
Appreciate any responce.
Thanks\Kiran S

You can't configure timeout in AME. You need to do it in workflow. Just open the workflow notification and go to the node attributes of notification. There you'll have the option to mention the timeout.

Standard Work flow for Leave approval in HR module

Hi ,
My query is there any standard work flow available in HR module for Leave approval and Over time approval. We have negative time management and with out ESS and MSS.
Pl suggest if any one has used this earlier with out ESS or EP
Regards
Punit

I can think of the following but not without enhancement for the workflow part.
- Since you are not using ESS, you (leave admin) may create the absence record directly in IT2001 (in LOCK mode).
- In the user exit of 2001 you may trigger your Workflow process (i.e. call the function module to trigger WF here) depending on the LCCK status. You have to explore if standard WF can be used to your requirement.
- Upon approval, you can UNLOCK the absence.
- In the event that UNLOCK is unsuccessful, trigger WF to your Leave Admin for him to update via PA30.
Standard SAP Workflow
- Only 1 level approval
- Using Chief Position
IF your workflow requirement deviates, then you have to also customize workflow, does not matter whether you are using ESS or not.
Finally test and retest to make sure all possible events are covered.
OT is the same, except that you need to use 2007 vs 2002

Launch Leave Approver Application without using UWL

Hi
Feedback from initial UAT has been that the users find the UWL awkward to use and the leave approval process has too many steps. They would be happier if they could get to their list of leave applications requiring approval directly ie avoiding the UWL.
Is this possible? In portal content it is possible to open the Leave Approver iview directly and previewing the iview appears to be OK. However when I add this link into the Navigation in our custom MSS role and access through MSS the same iview appears to be blank.
Is it possible to access this application directly?
Regards

Just as an update we have managed to do this avoinding the UWL and it appears to work fine. Just created a new page with the leaver request approver iview on it. My initial problems with the link from the portal were down to my home page configuration and nothing to do with the fact that you need to use the UWL.
We do intend to use the UWL in the future when more functionality is incorporated, it just seemed overkill for one wrkflow application.

Leave Approver in ESS

Dear All,
I am facing some problem in the Leave Approver:
Employee A was previously reporting to Manager B.
Now Employee A is reporting to Manager C.
I have maintained the reporting relationship in the position for Employee A.( A reports to C -> It is Ok).
But when I execute the report RPTREQAPPRCHK, the system is picking up his old manager :
1. Check Applicaiton Function - It shows A reports to B (which is not right as per our expections)
2. Check Basis Function - It shows A reports to C (which is OK).
I have maintained the following values in the table V_PTARQ_TPROCESS
--> Determine Next Agent = MNGR Line Manager.
While applying for leave the approver for Emp A is still displayed as Manager B.( it should be Manager C).
Please let me know if any extra config is required for this?
Thanks & Regards,
Param

Param,
You have to get the workflow refreshed for that. As the Determine Next Agent would have already determined the old Manager and kept it in the cache. See the date on which the Agent Determination has taken place in the Workflow for that Task. If the Agent determiantion has taken place before the transfer then you have ask you workflow adminstrator to correct the workflow with the new manager details or kill that task and re-execute the branch of that task again.
Hope this helps.
cheers, Bharath.

Leave approval text changes are not displayed in UWL

I have made some changes to text label of leave approval application using ctrl+right click(done in role->workset->page->iview) in content admin but it not reflecting in UWL(when calling leave approval application in UWL).any idea pls.

Hi,
aah i think the problem is at the uwl xml config file, which controls which iview is opening for a specific task id.
please enable the support info, at this u can see which xml file is used and you can change the directory/iview which is called by opneing the "leave approval":
1. Log on to the portal
2. Navigate to the following path: system administration > system
configuration
3. In detailed navigation click on the UWL & Workflow folder
to expand out
4. Then click on the Universal Worklist Administration link
5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page:
Optional Universal Worklist Service Configuration
Open the Tray for the Optional UWL Service Configuration
Click on the button to open the tray for the optional UWL service
configuration
6. Scroll down again
7. Go into edit mode
8. Display Support Information: Set the parameter to true
9. Save

Error in Leave Approval Workflow

Hello Experts,
I'm Using Standard Workflow WS0040077 for Leave Approval . I Activated the Event Linkage in SWEL .Did General Task in Agent Assignment . But when i run transaction PA30 . i get this error in SAP Inbox.
Following error occurred:
00 341
RFC_NO_AUTHORITY
Message text:
Runtime error RFC_NO_AUTHORITY has occurred
SAP System: EDV
Client: 100
Event container appended as attachment.
Event linkage not changed.
Event stored temporarily.
Events can be redelivered via event queue
administration (transaction SWEQADM).
so what should i do to solve this problem.

Hi,
Have you checked the workflow config in SWU3? It sounds like there may be a problem with the LOCAL RFC destination used by workflow. Click the 'Start Verification Workflow' button in SWU3 as a health check.
Also, are you testing this in the right client?
cheers

Leave approver UWL - Multiple entry

Hi Expert,
We have configured the UWL to display the Leave Request. Lets say there is 2 entries pending for approver to approve. He/she would received 2 entries in UWL. This is fine. When he/she click the leave request in UWL, system would launch the Leaver approver application.
However, the Leave approver application would display all entires pending for he/she to approved. User need to select the row and approve one by one which is very confusing to them. Many user complaint that he/she supposed to approver leave request for one person (i.e cause he click the entry for particular leave request), how come system would display also the leave request for another person. Also, it was very often for them to forget to approve all entries.
It this a bug or by desing? Any insight?

Multiple Leave Approval problem in workflow WS21500001 -webdynpro

hi,
We are using standard webdyppro leave approval workflow WS21500001, but inhere does not provide multiple approval level. Our requirement is we need two approval levels for this. So I copy the stranded workflow and create the second approval leave. In here Iu2019m unable to send second approval document into the mailbox, I was write rule to get the second approver, its working fine but once the 1st approval finished mail doesnu2019t go to the second approver inbox. Can you help me to do this?
Regard,
nawa

Hello,
Do you mean mail or workitem? I think you mean workitem.
Use tx SWI1 to look at the workflow log and you'll see what the workflow is doing and why it's skipping the second approval step.

Best way to implement ESS, Leave approval matrix.

Hi Gurus,
Please suggest me the best possible way to map the leave approval matrix for ESS.
we had a plan to prepare our leave approval matrix based on "Position". Just wanna know Is it the right way to figure out the Leave approval matrix. Initially We received a suggestion to prepare the Leave approval matrix with Employee number but by seeing the attration rate/separation/inter org.unit transfer etc., It'll be very difficult to maintain the post seperation data maintenance.
We had maintained a unique position id for each position(at present), If in near feauture if the same piece of task is assign to two person, we'll descriminate through there entry date(i.e. date of confirmation/Date of Joining).
IS it the right way of doing it. Seeking expert suggestion.
Thanks for your continuous support.
Thanks,
SMrinal
Edited by: smrinal on Oct 29, 2010 12:21 PM

This is usually pretty easy. Place all the files/pages you wish to appear as the sub domain in a folder on your site, then have your host create a "A" record for the subdomain you wish to create - so it will look like this http://YourSubDomain.YourDomain.com - then route this "A" record to the folder. Be sure the home page in this folder is a default page, such as index.htm or default.htm, or whatever your server uses for the default home page file name.
Hope this helps.

Unwanted leave approval notification mails to Non-Manager

Hello All,
I have a situation wherein one of our portal users started getting leave approval notification mails from other employees in that Org Unit. Now the interesting part is he is not a manager and never was. Checked his relationships, substitutes and delegations and every where it is normal and not supposed to receive such mails. Moreover we are not using workflows yet
Where could we have gone wrong, after so many attempts now my I am gone blank so please do suggest me all tables or customizations where it could went wrong or possibly any silly mistakes that would trigger this kind of problems.

Thanq, that was very prompt;
Here are my settings in RPTARQEAIL.
Send email to requestor with text HR_TIM_ARQ_REQUESTOR with general notification almost for all.
But should I rather check the settings for mail to approver instead? Coz one of a non manager employee is getting approver notification mail such as " your employees in your dept are awaiting for your processing..."
Can you brief me out on why this document selection radio button could have gone wrong in sending mails to requestor regarding approvals.

Leave Approval in MSS Displays Only Header

Hi all,
I have a problem with leave approval in MSS using the MSS Add-On. I checked all the backend configurations and they seem OK. I modified the UWL config file following the SAP note (which by the way said the config file should have been updated when installing MSS Add-On - but that didn't happen!).
When I click on the leave request in UWL, a new screen opened and after a few seconds a blank header appears in the screen and nothing else. When I previewed the leave approval in portal content, it works.
I've searched for notes on this but nothing. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Krishan
solution is simple.
1. Raise an oss message and SAP would ask you to apply patch update from note 1720040.
I am not too sure if this would solve the problem.
Second option is
1. go to your uwl xml and in your default xml paste following code for task 21500003.
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS21500003.SAP_ECC_HumanResources" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="defaultAction" executionMode="default">
<ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC_HumanResources" externalType=" TS21500003" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
<CustomAttributes>
<CustomAttributeSource id="WEBFLOW_CONTAINER" objectIdHolder="externalObjectId" objectType="WebflowContainer" cacheValidity="final">
<Attribute name="REQUESTID" type="string" displayName="Request ID"/>
</CustomAttributeSource>
</CustomAttributes>
<Actions>
<Action name="defaultAction" groupAction="" handler="ObjectNavigationLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes">
<Properties>
<Property name="ObjectValue" value="LRF_REQUEST_ID=${item.REQUESTID}"/>
<Property name="Operation" value="approveleaverequest"/>
<Property name="ObjectName" value="employee"/>
<Property name="openInNewWindow" value="true"/>
<Property name="System" value="SAP_ERP_HumanResources"/>
<Property name="DynamicParameter" value="LRF_REQUEST_ID=${item.REQUESTID}"/>
</Properties>
<Descriptions default="defaultAction"/>
</Action>
</Actions>
</ItemType>
After applying above if you still face same issue then download your mss addon 1.0 zip file from uwl admin page.
extract com.sap.pct.erp.mss.addon.xml from com.sap.pct.erp.mss.addon.zip.
paste above xml code for task 21500003 (please assure there is only one action for this task).
and UPLOAD THE com.sap.pct.erp.mss.addon.xml
Please make sure you upload the xml and not the zip. Please don't upload zip as that causes issues.
Please don't rename the zip to xml etc. upload the changed com.sap.pct.erp.mss.addon.xml.
After above it will work. in case there are issues please respond on this message.

Time/LEave approval in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1

Hi all,
Currently implementing ESS MSS on 4.7 system with EP 6.0 SP19.
The BP we plan to use is Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1.
My basic question is, we approve leave requests in BP for my SAP ERP (2004s) in the Universal worklist. How do we do the same in Business Package for Manager Self-Service 60.1. There i sno mention on time approval and leave requests approval in the MSS standard documentation ( or probably i missed it).
Any inputs in this regards are highly appreciated.
regards
Sam

Balaji,
in mySAP we had the opition to lauunch the applications in web dynpro. like launch leave approval in web dynpro. do we have this kind of optiion where the manager can approve the work item on the portal application or will it call a transaction based iview to open the work item in the R/3
regards
Sam

Automatic leave approval

Hi Gurus,
I am getting some problem in leave approval through workflow.
While I am applying any leave through transaction PTARQ its s approved automatically as it should. But when I am doing the same in production it is not working. the status of leave is shown as sent (not approved). In workflow log is it showing that leave is processed without workflow . Whether the leave should be approved automatically. the workflow we are using is standard. pls let me know which setting I am missing because of that leave didn't go through workflow.

Hi All
Issue resolved. Actually IT0007 is not maintained for the suervisot. So leave is not approved automatically.
Thanks All.
