Timesheet Approval from MSS

Hi,
We have implemented ESS .We have created workflow for timesheet approval.
Whenever employee creates a timesheet request.The workitem sent to Manager to approve the timesheet records.But when Manager opens the workitem regarding timesheet approval through ESS ,he see all timesheet records of all employees who are reporting to him.
But when we open the same workitem through SBWP it shows onli leave records of the employee related with the workitem not all the reportees.We want same functionality through ESS UWL.
I have checked the configuration related with approval views.
"Define Profiles and Assign to Views" It seems fine.
Kindly suggest for the same.
Regards,
Kalpesh

  • Error while opening leave/Timesheet approval from UWL

    While opening the leave/Timesheet request for approval from UWL the following error is coming
    Active component must exist when getting interface controller. (Hint: Have you forgotten to create it with createComponent()? Should the lifecycle control of the component usage be "createOnDemand"? "
    The user id is not locked in R/3 and assigned to a personnel number having valid begin and end date and is also having SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profile is R/3. Anybody having any idea why the error is still coming?Its not coming from any other ESS or MSS Page..

  • Working of Individual Timesheet approval view  in MSS

    can any one tell what happens(how it works) when a manager selects "Reject " from drop down and press the transfer button in Individual timesheet approval view.
    problem is : i have sorted the data based on A/A type Text. suppose that the data before sorting is 4,1,4 after sorting the data is 4,4,1.  when i select reject for first two entries 4,4(sorted data) and press transfer it will go to collective approval view. then choose review. in this screen it showing the rejected times as 4,1(which is the previous data) rather than 4,4.
    the summary is it is taking only previous data eventhough we have sorted it.
    any help will be greatly appreciated.

    You can select individually and those records which are selected as rejected will be rejected in the final screen
    In individual approval you set the status approve, resubmit or reject! These are different statuses we need to use

  • MSS ECM preventing approver from planning & approving same employee

    Hi,
    IIn Enterprise Comp, is there any way to prevent the Approver from being able to plan for a subordinate and approve him as well?
    Thanks, Vlad

    HI Vlad,
    I think this can be achieved through authorizations and evaluation paths. The following threads may help you:

  • CATS Approval in MSS  - same error, other issue?

    We have upgraded our portal and HR environment to the latest sp and enhancement packs.
    In the testing we get a blocking dump in the time approval in MSS.

    I've checked the table TPT_FIELD_SEL_C between development and our testing environment and they are the same.
    The only special thing is that we don't use the standard SAP_LINE approval view (see IMG), but our own custom one. The SLIN is not configured ok, but our own "ZLIN" fields are configured ok (into table TPT_FIELD_SEL_C).
    Has anybody an idea?

    I think we have got similar issue and raised an OSS message and the reply we got
    This happens due to the missing customisation in Mss.
    ie Configuration for screen areas CTS and CTD is missing. View
    V_PT_FIELD_SEL is meant to hold the relevant information.
    Please have a look at the client 000 for the default customisation.
    So, What you need to do is write table TPT_FIELD_SEL_C on a transport
    and transport it to client . You will then have all the setting
    you need for the application to work.
    Also,
    The solution is to write down all the
    technical field-names from view groups CTS and CTD in table TPT_FIELD_S
    EL_C, then use the config area to select the fields properly. This overwrites the TPT_FIELD_SEL_C table entries with ones that have the "tabname" populated! The application will now work as expected.
    Please try producing a new transport of the entire table TPT_FIELD_SEL_Cas R3TR TABU with appropriate key and transport to yor system, you
    should choose to overwrite the destination table. Please let us know
    the result after.
    Please check the customisation for MSS approval.
    SAP_LINE: Model approval view for line managers. It groups recorded data according to the employees assigned to the line manager.
    For example the above view has been defined? or you can adapt to your
    needs.
    Can you try to import the transport again but make sure that "overwrite
    orginals" in the OPTIONS tab is selected?
    Transactrion SE01
    Select create a the workbench request.
    then doble click into the request
    and push the button Display/Change
    Enter here the entry "R3TR TABU TPT_FIELD_SEL_C"
    Push enter
    Then one icon with a Key appear
    Push the key and enter * for all the table entries or select the
    each one that you need.
    If the changes are correctly available then it will work correctly
    Please ensure that the transport is done correctly

  • 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.

  • Project Server No project update after timesheet approval

    Hi,
    I work with Project Server 2013, I can create and schedule projects, assign ressources, fill
    in the timesheet and save it for approval.
    I'm using the
    Single Entry Mode 
    When ressources update theire TimeSheet (approved) and I check my project in project web access, I do not see any progress (0% completed)
    Does someone know why my project is not updated?
    Thanks

    Hi Slim,
    Note that once the timesheet with SEM activated is submitted, there are 2 approvals: from the status manager (project plan owner) and from the timesheet manager of the resource. The project plan will be updated once the status manager approved the task update
    AND published the project plan.
    Thus you have to check that the status manager (and not only the timesheet manager) correctly approved the update and also that he published the project plan for MS Project Pro (or eventually from PWA).
    If it is still not working, you could check the PWA queue for potential error messages related to the task update approval and/or project publish job.
    Please tell us if it helps.
    Hope this helps,

  • Timesheet approval in Background

    Hi All,
      Actaully I am looking for any Task or Functions which can be used to update the timesheet record as apporved or rejected according to the desicion by the Approver.
    Because the standard task of SAP calls the Transaction CATSWF , which will be online approval, which I don't want to call, instead, once if approved from our standard workflow descision task, I need to update that Time sheet record as approved and rejected also in the same way instead of calling the standard transaction or task.
    Regards,
    Sabari Prabhu.

    Hi,
    Check this,

  • How to retrieve Timesheet Approver by query

    Hi,
    I'm retrieving timesheet manager name from ResourceTimesheetManagerUID field in MSP_EpmResource_UserView view. But, If a user change timesheet manager while submitting time sheet I'm unable to access it.  I tried searching in reporting DB
    documentation but did not find anything over there. Can someone let me know the field where this info is stored?
    Thanks
    Indu

    Hi Indu,
    I ran some tests and I can see that the LastStatusChangeResourceNameUID column is not populated. According to the documentation this shold have been populated with:
    GUID of the resource who last changed the timesheet status.
    So this should have been the timesheet manager (or whoever approved/rejected/amended the timesheet)
    I can see that someone raised a similar question for the 2010 version:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/35844049-a970-4b7f-bfe7-c0565e397acc/query-to-find-historical-timesheet-approver-in-project-server-2010?forum=project2010custprog
    I would suggest you take that with Microsoft. Unless, you want to adventure yourself and look into the published schema, MSP_Timesheet_Actions table. However, please note that querying directly the pub/draft/ver schemas is not supported
    Hope this helps

  • Required Parallel Approval from OTL Timekeeper Entry Form

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to perform parallel approval from OTL timekeeper entry form? it is using the following workflow OTL Seeded Approval Workflow HXCSAW(i think) if it is using this workflow can we change this workflow or need to write a new workflow for above mentioned requirement.
    Please share you experiences , its urgent
    Regards,
    Ssali

    Hi,
    HXCSAW is a custom workflow which do nothing accept approving and that can be change as per customer requirement. This child workflow called by parent workflow process HXCEMP. If u going to change the HXCSAW then u also need to change the seeded package associated with this workflow to embed your logic.
    We have done it through SSHR timesheet entry page, no idea if OTL timekeeper entry form carries approval or not.
    Whts the nature of ur parallel approval ? and how u can able to manage if via workflow ?
    Regards

  • Throw a custom error message while doing CATS timesheet approval

    Hi,
    We are going to implement CATS Timesheet approval using ESS / MSS portal.
    Requirement is NOT to allow an approver to approve / reject a timesheet workitem in MSS duing payroll block period ( e.g last week of a month). we need to throw an error message saying 'No approval of timesheet is allowed during payroll block period'.
    Will SAP enhancement CATS0006 (EXIT_SAPLCATS_006) be useful for this?
    Any other customer exit / Badi will help.
    Regards,
    Bijay

    Hi,
    yes you can use the mentioned CATS enhancement to throw the error message.

  • How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are working on it?

    How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are even working on it? I'm not really sure if my application was even delivered - from the links in IBA. Any suggestions how one might push the right buttons at Apple?
    Also went around in a big circle trying to get beyond the confusion of not having the right Apple ID when I've had it a long time. Confusion abounds and learning this forum also takes a new degree of patience. Humbling to say the least :-)
