Universal Work List for ESS

Hi Experts,
I cannot see UWL for Employee Self-Service role where as under Manager Self-Service I can see it. Do we have to add the page manually or it will be done from backend.
ESS/MSS Version is 1.41.
Please throw some light on this.
Thanks,
Murthy

Triggering Universal Work List item

Hi
is it possible to create a Universal Work List ad-hoc item within EP via an API or web-service?
We could simply create a work item in R/3 and have the UWL link to R/3, but our preference is to avoid unnecessary hits on our R/3 server and create the item directly within EP.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
To answer your question, yes.
IProviderConnector implementations can use any communication mechanism to connect to the systems and retreive the Items. For example: EJB call, JCO, Web Service etc.
I can see in this in the JavaDocs in the package: com.sap.netweaver.bc.uwl.connect. I will attach a link to the full javadocs so you can take a look:

The notifications aren't update using the API of universal work list

We use in the portal home a development iview that works with de API of Universal Work List. This iview shows the number of notifications and tasks. While the number of tasks are updated correctly, the number of notifications are not refreshed. The only way to update the number of notifications is going and refreshing the Universal Work List iView provided by SAP.
The API that we are using not support this case? Any suggestion?
We havent found information about this.
Our system version is 7.00 SP14
We attachment the call that weve used.
 try {
 notificaciones = tareas = 0;
 IUWLService uwlService =
 (IUWLService)PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(
 IUWLService.ALIAS_KEY);
 UWLContext uwlContext = new UWLContext();
 IUser user = componentRequest.getUser();
 uwlContext.setUser(user);
 uwlContext.setAllowBackEndConnections(true);
 uwlService.beginSession(uwlContext, -1);
 IUWLItemManager itemManager = uwlService.getItemManager(uwlContext);
 QueryResult result =
 itemManager.refreshCacheAndGetItems(uwlContext, null, null, null);
 ItemCollection collection = result.getItems();
 for (int i = 0; i < collection.size(); i++) {
 Item item = collection.get(i);
 if ((item.isUnRead() || item.isNew())
 && item.getItemType().startsWith("uwl.notification")) {
 notificaciones++;
 } else if (
 (item.isUnRead() || item.isNew())
 && item.getItemType().startsWith("uwl.task")) {
 tareas++;
 uwlService.endSession(uwlContext);
 } catch (UWLException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
Regards

Thank you very much for your quick answer...
But I think that you don't understand me. We can read notifications number but not in real time because they are not updated until we go to the UWL and we force there an update. We want to show in real time the number of notifications that a user has.
Does anybody how to update/refresh this using the API?
Thanks for your suggestions

Please let me where Universal Work List Administration page is located

Hi All,
Please let us know whre we can find "Open the Universal Work List Administration page".
How to register a system to UWL?
We are getting following message
"System not registered. Contact the administrator"
Connection Status "Failure
null

Hi,
This is where you will find UWL Administration Page :
Go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal WorkList & Workflow -> Universal Worklist Administration.
To register the system, go to Universal Worklist Administration -> Universal Worklist - Webflow Item Type Registration -> Register Item types for all systems. Incase you haven't created the system, you will have to create one. This is how you create it : Go to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal WorkList & Workflow -> Universal Worklist -> UWL Systems configuration -> Universal Worklist Systems and then create one using one of the systems in System Landscape.
Hope this helps.

Sunil

Dependency List for ESS SP11 using Maintanance optimizer ?

I need to somehow get a dependency list for ESS sp11 patch. I was told that this can be done on the Solman 4 system using Maintanance optimizer. I can see how to impliment the service pack but not how to generate a list of dependencies that I can present to the customer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: VASQUEZ J. David on Feb 12, 2008 8:28 PM

Hi VASQUEZ,
You can see the dependencies ESS in the service market place only,you can see the import conditions for that particular package.Solman's maintanence optimizer is used to approve the download of that stack.Here you can not see the dependencies using solman.I think if you want to install patches for java they are cumilative,you can directly go from your current patch level to the recent one present in the market place.
Reward points if helpfull.

Trigger of Import Declaration (Work List) for SO based inbound flows in ECC

Hello Experts,
I am running a feasability study for GTS Customs managment Import. My client is using SO based flows for the return flows (SO-Delivery-Mtrl Document). In order to use local clearance (to avoid VAT and Customs Fee) we need to set this flow up in SAP and enable the doucment transfer from ECC to GTS.
We have come up with a few high level alternatives for the trigger for the GTS Import Declaration. It would be great if you could have a look on them and let us know your thoughts. What is feasible and what is not? Any recommendations?
Alt 1: Create Z program for the RFC call to GTS which basically is a copy of the standard program but it modifies the SO to be perceived as an PO in GTS and the Delivery to be perceived as an Inbound Delivery.
Alt 2: Use the SPL check which is set up in GTS Compliance management. Might be an alternative since the SO and Delivery is transferred to GTS for the SPL check. We should be able to find some user exit or BADI in the SPL check from where we can trigger det SO and Delivery to the Work List in GTS Customs Management.
Alt 3: Integrate the feeder system with GTS as an external system. This will require that we have IDoc outputs from the SO and Delivery on the feeder side and that we activate BAdI for Mapping External Data with or w/o Document Reference in GTS.
Alt 4: Treat the SO import flow as an Export flow in GTS (triggering it through a proforma document on the feeder side) but configure the activity sequence according to the Customs Authorities import specification.
Another question that we have is relating to GTS Inventory Management which we must use in order to use local clearance procedure. Is it possible to set up GTS inventory management without a Customs Warehouse and without configuring the Customs ID on the feeder side? Could it be used with the any of the alternatives above?
Any input is welcomed.
Thank you and best regards
Andreas

You mentioned that you are looking to use local clearance (to avoid VAT and Customs Fee), I read this as using the customs warehouse functionality in GTS.
If you have the customs warehouse set up, you may want to check out the returns order movement type (651) This is what the GTS library says: u201CThe system treats returns orders with returns deliveries (651) in the feeder system just like a receipt posting from a regular goods movement, because you post goods receipts in the feeder system by choosing a goods issue based on an outbound delivery. The customs warehouse handles these postings just like goods receipts, however, and therefore analogous to regular goods movements for customs warehouse receipts, with movement type 101.u201D
So if you have a goods receipt, you can create a entry into the customs warehouse. To get it out, youu2019d need some type of outbound movement. GTS would see this as an issue (reduction) of the customs warehouse. This outbound does not necessarily need a connection with a specific PO.
Also, for customs warehouse, this outbound movement, if it is customs cleared in the country where the customs warehouse is located is a u201Cdomestic movementu201D.
If a material is flagged as batch relevant, you can add a batch reference at the time of PO, or inbound delivery. For sales, you can add at time of SO or goods issue.
This batch number serves as a link for the transaction data. This number allows you to track the materials in a transaction through the purchas/mfg/sale process. Attached to the number can be a great deal of info on the material in the transaction. Through the batch reporting, you can track forwards or backwards all the follow-on transactions associated with the batch.

Work list for Invoice List

Hello,
I have an issue with the work list (VF24) for invoice list.
I have two billing doc:
#10 billing type F2 (posted to FI)
#11 billing type F2 (posted to FI)
I created an invoice list for these two invoices:
#91 billing type LR
Later I have a third invoice# 12.
I want to include all three billing doc in one invoice list. Therefore, I cancelled the existing invoice list# 91, cancellation invoice list# 92 (billing type LRS) was created.
I ran the work list VF24 but billing doc# 10 and #11 did not appear.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
CL

Hi Surya,
The sequence of actions performed is:
1. create invoice
2. create invoice list
3. reverse the invoice
4. reverse the invoice list
It means that you reversed the invoices before reversing the invoice list.
So their relevance for invoice list is not touched, because the invoice list was already created (and it was not reversed yet).
Vice-versa, if you reverse an invoice before to create the invoice list (or after the invoice list is reversed), then it won't be relevant for invoice list anymore.
And the cancellation invoice won't be relevant for invoice list as well.
It is supposed that if an invoice already included in an invoice list is reversed, then the cancellation invoice will be included in another invoice list.
This is the standard design of the system.
Thanks,
Alex

Restricting the values in Drop Down list for ESS application

Hello Experts,
We are trying to restrict the values in the drop down list box for payment method field for direct deposit iview.
Here Payment is the Zlsch field.
here we are trying to have only 3 vlaues in the drop down. Do I have to do it from java code or can this be restricted on the ECC side?
Plese let me know.
Thanks,
James.

James,
What you have to do is create a DropDown ByIndex element instead of by Key and create a context node PaymentMethodNode and a value attribute PaymentAttribute under it ....then write the following code in the wdDoInit() method as :
//Add whatever values you want in the DropDown
String[] priority_options= new String[]{"Payroll/Corp/Partner Check","Employee Payroll ACH(PPD)"};
 List ListOfPriorities = new ArrayList();
 for(int i=0;i<priority_options.length;i++)
 IPrivateDetailView.IPayment_MethodNodeElement pr= wdContext.createPayment_MethodNodeElement();
 pr.setPaymentAttribute(priority_options);
 ListOfPriorities.add(pr);
 wdContext.nodePayment_MethodNode().bind(ListOfPriorities);
 for(int e=0;e<wdContext.nodePayment_MethodNode().size();++e)
 wdContext.nodePayment_MethodNode().setSelected(e,e>=0 && e<=1);
and then write the following code in wdDoModifyView() method:
IWDDropDownByIndex di =(IWDDropDownByIndex)view.getElement("DropDownByIndex");
 di.bindTexts("Payment_MethodNode.PaymentAttribute");
then create an Action and bind it to the onselect property of the DropDown and write the following code in the onAction method :
if(wdContext.currentPayment_MethodNodeElement().getPaymentAttribute().equalsIgnoreCase("Payroll/Corp/Partner Check"))
 wdContext.currentSelectedInfotypeElement().setZlsch("C");
 else
 wdContext.currentSelectedInfotypeElement().setZlsch("P");
I am sure it will work..

**where can i look for standard ESS & MSS related workflows**
Message was edited by:
Hr Buddy

There "IS" a central place where workflows can be accessed in SAP...which i eventually foundout...it is thru Tcode SWDM - Business Workflow Explorer
There we need to check for component that we are looking workflows for....
for example :
EP-PCT-MGR-HR - Business Package for Manager Self-Service (HR)
PA-ES - Employee Self-Service
PT-EV -Time Evaluation
And ofcourse Bus.Pack Documentation is always useful.

Standard Workflow List for ESS

Can someone please give me a list of the standard workflows in ESS.
Thanks

@Barin Desai
No offense taken...no need to say sorry. I have never had to implement training and events, so no first hand experience there. As for the time and/or leave related ones though, I have never seen them used "out-of-the-box". Again, that's just my experience with probably 7-8 ESS projects since around 2000 or so. Lastly, many clients I have had either (a) don't like workflow, so remove it (b) don't have knowledge in workflow or resources for it, so they drop it out. But even in reading (SAP books, posts on the internet, presentations, etc), I have always seem them referred to as "skeleton" workflows to be further fleshed out. Interesting that your experience is much different.

GRC 10 Work Inbox Notification or Universal Work List instead of SMTP

Hi,
I wanted to check with you all if there is a possibility to get SAP internal Work Inbox or UWL notification instead of outlook/SMTP notification.
The scenarios this will be required for us are
1. User ID details communication at the end of the request.
2. Notification if access is approved/ rejected.
3. Notification for Firefighter approved or rejected.
4. BRM role approval notification
Kindly let me know if we can pull the notification from Outlook/SMTP to internal SAP Mailbox.
Regards,
Prasad Chaudhari

Hi Guru,
If I am not wrong the items mentioned send notification to outlook/smtp and not work inbox. The work inbox will get request for approval and uar/sod review.
Are you talking of some parameter/settings to change this behaviour?
Thanks,
Prasad Chaudhari
