Using HXC_TIMESTORE_DEPOSIT_API to modify approved timecards
Is it permissable to use the HXC_TIMESTORE_DEPOSIT_API to modify approved timecards that have already been transferred to Payroll i.e. HXC TIMECARD >> OTL BEE BATCH (HXT) >> PAYROLL BEE BATCH >> ELEMENT ENTRIES
I have looked at the white paper on the API usage and found this entry, but it wasn't exactly clear as to if the API works on the timecard regardless of its status. It seemed to indicate that a corrected timecard after its been pushed to element entries must be performed by the associate and handled via Retro Payroll process and thus no API availability to make that correction at that point.
Can anyone confirm or indicate otherwise ?
This has been solved. The solution was to create a day building block for each day in the time period REGARDLESS of whether or not there is any time to be billed for the day. So an example would be that if the employee only had time for Monday-Friday you would still need to create day building blocks for the Saturday and Sunday that are included in the period. A simple oversight but one that will prevent the API loaded timecards from being picked up by the workflow and approving

OTL - loading approved timecards
Hi,
Is it possible to load approved timecards?
I notice there is a mode parameter for the hxc_timestore_deposit .execute_deposit_process procedure, however I did some searching on metalink and this only seems to be talked about in relation to migrating from OIT to OTl using the paxtmotl.sql script.
This script looks like it migrates via the Projects Retrieval process... we want to automatically approve the time card if it perfectly matches the standard shift... but if there is any variance (eg overtime, unpaid time), then it needs to be sent to the manager for approval. Any suggestions on where to find more information on the mode parameter?
The other alternative is to modify the workflow to automatically avoid sending to the approver if it is a standard time card. I am just worried about modifying this standard workflow, as it might get overwritten by patches.
Any help is much appreciated.
WillYour requirement still looks vague. Do you just want to auto approve the timecard based on some criteria otherwise send for approval?
If that is the case, you can attach a Time entry rule which will check your criteria and the then follow either of the cases based on rule evaluation.

Need to report on sales order lines using specific pricing modifier
Is there a report I can run for a specific modifier number that will give me all the sales order lines that were adjusted using that pricing modifier?
Use oe_price_adjustments table and link that to the qp_list_headers and lines to get the details of the modifiers.
Thanks

Function module (FM) to read budget to be used in n-step approval badi
We have SRM 5.0 with ECC 6.0 (extended classic). For capital expenses we are going to have budget check in SRM based of account assignment internal orders in R/3. In shopping cart line item approval workflow, it is required to read the budget available for that internal order and compare with shopping cart value...what is the function module to read budget assigned to that internal order, that will used in n-step approval badi at every step??
Thanks,
Kim r.Hi
<b>Please try the related SRM function modules, which will definitely help -></b>
B470_BUDGET_READ
BBP_PD_USER_BUDGET_AMOUNTSPENT
BBP_PD_USER_BUDGET_CHECK
BBP_PD_USER_BUDGET_DEFINED_GET
BBP_PD_USER_BUDGET_SAVE
BBP_PD_USER_BUDGET_SCVALUE_GET
BBP_REQREQ_CHECK_BUDGET
META_BUDGET_READ
META_BUDGET_READ Function module in turn calls RFC-enabled 'BBP_BUDGET_READ' Function module in the R/3 or the ECC System.
Hope this will definitely help.
Do let me know.

What is the use of account modifier in automatic account
hi
can someone explain the use of account modifier in automatic accountThe Account Modifier is used to break account determination down by movement type.
For example, by default in SAP, the system says for movement type 101 and posting key PRD there is no modification. However, I can enter a code (e.g. XXX) against movement type 101 and posting key PRD and code YYY against movement type 102 and PRD.
Then in u2018Configure Automatic Postingsu2019 when we go into posting key PRD, we will make entries for u2018general modifieru2019 XXX, account 400001 and YYY of 400002 (there will also need to be an entry for a u201Cblanku201D modifier which should cover all the other movement types).

Use of volatile modifier in Serialization
can any body explain me the use of this modifier in Serialization
Volatile does not effect serialization.
"transient" means the field is not serialized. -
How do I make use of Table Modifiers?
Hi Experts
I would like to use Table Modifiers in a web-report, but I have no idea about how to do it.
I want to use table modifier since I am trying to do calculations based on cumulated values, which is not possible (since these are displayed values). Therefore I would like to ignore the number that appears in column 3 below and calculated by using a table modifier instead (let's say column a*b).
(A and B are cumulated values)
A | B | C
1 | 3 | 3 (1 * 3) -> 3 (when table modifier is used)
3 | 4 | 2 (3-1 * 4-3) -> 12(when table modifier is used)
5 | 6 | 4 (5-3 * 6-4) -> 30(when table modifier is used)
Therefore could anyone please tell me the steps that I have to fullfill to make this change? I assume that I have to go to the Web Application Designer and edit the code?
I'm using BW 3.5
Thanks in advance, kind regards

Using CAF GP for Approving MDM Record Request.
I am going to use CAF GP for approval workflow.
I need to understand how to approvve the record using Java API. I know it needs to be moved from checked out stage to Checked in stage. But how do we do that from Java APIs.
I am using SP4 for now, but need the information for SP6 too.
~NitinIf you look at your process description:
Requestor - Submit a request - store in MDM in checked out mode.
[Create a webdynpro callable object implementing IGPWebDynproCO|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e3f07a7a-0601-0010-ebbd-b9cfb445b814]
Have it use the checkout(new)recordCommand (this works similar as the checkincommand I described above)
Have validation at MDM to take care of all the required parameters/fields.
Approver - Approves > Change the record to check in
Use checkin as described above
Rejects > Delete the record.
For Reject you probably do not wantto delete the record but use the rollback command.

*Apple's stated System Requirements:*
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (500MHz or faster) processor
512MB of RAM; 1GB recommended
Approximately 1.2GB of available disk space
32MB of video memory
Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.6 or later

The NVIDIA GeForce4 MX has a stated max 64mb of memory, but I could not see whether that meant it actually had that quantity. I would assume though that it had a minimum of 32mb.
Have you checked in *About This Mac* what the actual memory is?
Maybe Apple was optimistic in its minimum requirements. -
Hi All,
I have to modify these two field values.
lv_inv_std_addr_flag
lv_std_addr_flag
DATA: lv_inv_std_addr_flag TYPE string,
lv_std_addr_flag TYPE string,
lr_core TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_core.
Is it required to use the lr_core->modify( ) statement twice to modify both the values as below
lr_my_context->shipto->set_stdbpaddress( attribute_path = '' value = lv_inv_std_addr_flag ).
lr_core->modify( ).
lr_my_context->shipto->set_stdbpaddress( attribute_path = '' value = lv_std_addr_flag ).
lr_core->modify( ).
Or even the below code also works, beacuse it will be more effective in performance, as we are using lr_core->modify only once.
lr_my_context->shipto->set_stdbpaddress( attribute_path = '' value = lv_inv_std_addr_flag ).
lr_my_context->shipto->set_stdbpaddress( attribute_path = '' value = lv_std_addr_flag ).
lr_core->modify( ).
Edited by: Garg on Jun 17, 2009 4:44 PMas per my knowledge..one statment of modify after all statements works fine

How to approve timecards that have been sitting in manager's queue
Hello All,
Oracle Applications verison: 11.5.10.2
RDBMS : 10.2.0.4.0
Workflow Builder 2.6.3.5
I have a technical requirement to "pick up" submitted timecards and immediately approve them when they have been sitting and waiting for too long in their manager's queue for approval. This happens when a manager is out on vacation (and forgets to delegate), sick, lazy, etc...
We have some specific business rules on when we want this to happen (after two weeks, certain employees only, with some other rules around payroll run times etc...) so I don't think it's just a "timeout" that I need to modify. I'm kind of a newbie with workflow but have been using PL/SQL longer than I can remember. I'm guessing there is more than one way to do this so I'm looking for some advice on how to make it happen. Is there a way to just find these submitted timecards in the workflow and force the approval, bypassing any other processes that may exist? Can I simply do this through PL/SQL by calling an approval API or an approval workflow process and NOT have to hack the living daylights out of the existing HXCEMP workflow?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!Another alternative is to make use of db package dba_jobs and create a job to run periodically (weekly or so) and call a procedure that will basically look for those notifications and check the begin_date and so on and then respond to them if it meets your criteria.
You will need to set the result of the response:
begin
WF_NOTIFICATION.SetAttrText(nid => l_nid, aname => 'RESULT', avalue => 'APPROVE'); --or whatever the result is
WF_NOTIFICATION.Respond(nid => l_nid, respond_comment => 'Approved from PLSQL', responder => 'ME', action_source => 'WA');
end;
You get the point...

Creating fields as LOV (using alternate names) on OTL timecards
Hi,
I would really appreciate if someone can help me understand the process of being able to add fields on OTL timecard as LOV fields using alternate names. These are COST segments which I need to add on OTL timecard. The part which is most confusing to me is modifying the .ldt to get these fields working.
Appreciate if anyone can point me to related documents.
Thanks,
Maddy
--Hi Maddy
Ramsys has pointed you towards a very useful document, the timecard configuration guide. But, the guide is very complicated and it shows you what to do, but doesn't really explain 'why' you have to do it.
I run training courses on OTL, and this is a complex area to understand. It is possible to display almost anything on the timecard if you put your mind to it! Your example fo the cost centre is quite straightforward. Youi can create a value set to display the cost codes you want. A suitable one might already exist. You then need to have a view object (VO) to use this on the timecard. OTL provides 10 dummy VOs which you can use. The guide explains how to do this. The VO links your value set to the timecard. This step accounts for displaying the data on the timecard.
You also need to have somewhere to store the values selected by the user. To do this you need to define a contect in the OTL_INFORMATION_TYPES DFF to store the data. You will also need to have a mapping component to link the data on the screen to the OTL_INFORMATION_TYPES context. Usually, you can use an existing mapping component.
Good luck!

How can I edit a approved timecard as a timekeeper from timekeeper entry form
Hi,
I want to edit a timecard which is approved and transferred to Projects. I can use adjustment element like Overtime Adjustment, Double time adjustment elements.
I did set preference - ''Self service Timecard Allow edits to Approval Initiated.
I added one more Preference for the same allow edits to - 'Retro'
I tried editing the approved time card but not able to.

Ways to update an "Approved" timecard?
Hi
I have configured the timecard to not to go for any approval.
So if an employee submits the timecard then it is getting submitted and saved and the Update and delete buttons are getting disabled on the self service.
Is there a way to allow employees to amend a submitted timecard?
What are the possible options?Is this the whole code that you are using? If yes, then it won't work, you need to initialize all the attributes too.

Hi,
We have got an issue where timecards get auto approve for cases given in metalink note 443432.1. What I want to know - is there anyways we can stop auto approve? Through some profile option or something.
Thanks!The approval style form includes a number of components.
The first component is a 'data interdependency rule'. In this section you can create a validation rule for whether the data needs approval. This can be done for each receiving application for the timecard information.
The second section determines the approval method. e.g. HR Supervisor, Project Manager etc.
IIn the data interdependency section, the rule is coded in a Fast Formula. The FF can call an external function, so basically any logic is possible. The prupose of the rule is to return a flag indicating if the data for a specific application needs approval. If the FF returns Y(es) then the subsequent approval method for that application will be invoked.
Using this method, you can control what data requires approval and what does not.
If you extend this to use time categories, you can effectively determine if a subset of data requires approval.
Hope this help! It's a rather complex part of OTL that can take a long time to explain.
Regard
Tim
