UWL: Mass Approval functionality is not shown

Hi Gurus,
I have done the required config to call my ABAP webdynpro leave approval screen when a workitem is clicked in UWL and its working fine.
Now I want to have a mass approval functionality for the leave approval screen. I have added the below Item types and Views in UWL.STANDARD.XML file and uploaded it to the system with high priority and then refreshed cache. When I login to the system and access the UWL, the MASS Approval functionality is not show. Do I have to do any other steps apart from this. Please let me know how to resolve the issue.

Mass approval functionality for SRM work items

Hi,
We want to implement mass approval functionality for SRM workflow, so that any user is able to approve/reject multiple requests at one go through UWL.
Please guide if it is possible to implement this functinality for task id TS40007952.
Regards,
Avantika

Hi Avantika,
The mass approval functionality can be implemented for simple workflow items which have decisions to complete the work item. (User Decision Type)
In SAP Business Workflow, user can define a task as a decision task by assigning DECISION as the underlying business object type. The task definition allows user to create two or more decision options to complete the task.
The idea is to simply create a custom view/subview for the UWL item and configure it according to your needs.
Have a look at this blog:
Mass/Batch Processing of Work items in UWL
and also check the documentation:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/4e/72112bc9ea484196f2a5fdc68f5f5f/frameset.htm
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Piyush, I'm solving the same problem. Can you help me ?
I have found, that I can add new button into mass approval's view:
 <Action name="accept" groupAction="yes" handler="UserDecisionHandler">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="decisionKey" value="1"/>
 </Properties>
 <Descriptions default="Accept all"/>
 </Action>
That approves all displayed items. But that's not exactly what I'd like to do.
I just want to select all checkboxes/radio buttons in mass approval view.
Could you be so kind and give me your solution ?
Thank you very much,

UWL Mass Approval XML changes or Custom App

Dear Gurus,
Please help us in understanding the solution to mass approval issue. Shall we go for XML changes or go for a new custom development in wda/wdj
I have tried modifying XML method for leave approval but the issue is :
1. Tasks drop off from manager UWL with success message but the workflow goes to cancelled step and does not update the status of the employee request from sent to approved. can this be handled by workflow guys.
2. On doing XML changes in both views(normal and subview for mass approval), I lost hyperlinks on my workitems , so I could not launch any application even in the main view where approver shall approve items one by one.
I need help to understand if the above 2 issues can be addressed.
Further we have more than 10-12 types of approvals in our UWL down the line. So is it a good idea to configure XMl or just go and create 1 Master custom applicaiton to address all approvals and give mass approval facility in that alone.
Kindly help
Regards,
Ankur

Dear Piyush,
we have been successful in writing our custom FM and we are calling the standard FM's in our abap box. leaves get approved on executing the custom FM from R3. however from portal UWL, still we are getting the same error message. I think our portal is not able to call the ABAP FM.

Mass Approval + User Decision Notes

Hello
We are configuring UWL in a SAP Nw 7.01 SP10 Portal.
We have created a custom XML file where we define a decision task with approve and reject actions; user decision notes are enabled in both actions:
<ItemTypes>
 <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS90100261.SAP_ECC_Financials" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="POCAllView" defaultAction="viewDetail" executionMode="default">
 <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC_Financials" externalType="TS90100261" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
 <Actions>
 <Action name="ApproveRequest" groupAction="yes" handler="UserDecisionHandler" returnToDetailViewAllowed="no" launchInNewWindow="no">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="decisionKey" value="0001"/>
 <Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="true"/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail"/>
 <Property name="UserDecisionTitle" value="Approve the request"/>
 </Properties>
 <Descriptions default="Approve"/>
 </Action>
 <Action name="RejectRequest" groupAction="yes" handler="UserDecisionHandler" returnToDetailViewAllowed="no" launchInNewWindow="no">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="decisionKey" value="0002"/>
 <Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="mandatory"/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="uwlExcludeFromPreviewDetail"/>
 </Properties>
 <Descriptions default="Reject"/>
 </Action>
 </Actions>
 </ItemType>
</ItemTypes>
Then we define a view that allows mass approval/rejection using checkboxes and a submit decisions button:
<View name="POCAllView" selectionMode="SINGLESELECT" width="98%" supportedItemTypes="uwl.task.webflow.decision.TS90100261.SAP_ECC_Financials" columnOrder="APPROVE, REJECT, subject, creatorId, createdDate, priority, attachmentCount, dueDate, status, MYATTRIBUTE01, MYATTRIBUTE02, MYATTRIBUTE03" sortby="priority:descend, dueDate:ascend, createdDate:descend" tableDesign="STANDARD" visibleRowCount="10" headerVisible="yes" queryRange="undefined" tableNavigationFooterVisible="yes" tableNavigationType="CUSTOMNAV" refresh="300" dueDateSevere="0" dueDateWarning="0" emphasizedItems="none" displayOnlyDefinedAttributes="yes" dynamicCreationAllowed="yes" actionPosition="bottom" referenceBundle="pocall_tasks">
 <DisplayAttributes>
 <DisplayAttribute name="APPROVE" type="checkbox" width="" actionRef="ApproveRequest" referenceBundle="PoC.Approve" hAlign="CENTER" vAlign="MIDDLE"/>
 <DisplayAttribute name="REJECT" type="checkbox" width="" actionRef="RejectRequest" referenceBundle="PoC.Reject" hAlign="CENTER" vAlign="MIDDLE"/>
 </DisplayAttributes>
 <Actions>
 <Action reference="submitUserDecisions"/>
 <Action reference="refresh"/>
 <Action reference="defaultGlobalWizard"/>
 <Action reference="addToNavigation"/>
 <Action reference="removeFromNavigation"/>
 </Actions>
 </View>
However, we don't know how to include the decision note if the checkboxes + submit decision button are used.
Does anyone have experience with this configuration and knows the solution? Points will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Jon

EP7.0 - How to configure UWL Mass Approval Column

Hi All,
Any one of you know how can I configure the UWL with "Approve" and "Reject" column for ESS-Leave Request mass approval?
For example, the manager can perform the mass approval by clicking the "Approve" check box and click "submit" button from the UWL instead of approve one by one....
We are using EP7.0
Thanks!
Best Regards,
S.Y

Hello SY,
This can be achieved using an xml config. The following document describes the config you need to do to achieve the decision (Mass Approval) view:

Mass leave approval?
As an alternative to this service, you can use the Leave Request: Mass Approval report (RPTARQMASS_APPROVAL) in the back-end system. These reports enable you to approve multiple leave requests in batch.

Mass Approval for Leave in UWL

Dear Gurus,
we are facing issues in mass approval for leave process in our UWL. we have customized the xml file and added approve and reject columns in the table. this is all in a new custom view that is designed and uploaded with high priority.
when selecting radiobuttons and clicking submit, Task disappears from UWL and moved to outbox in SAP Inbox.
But the document status is "SENT" and not changing to Approved /Rejected. Workflow Status is showing as completed.
Any clue.? Do we need to change the Workflow to accept the user decision via UWL. Any Container/parameters to be updated in addition?
<Action name="approved" userDecision="yes" handler="UpdatingContainerHandler" referenceBundle="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.leaverequest.approve">
<Properties>
<Property name="_WI_OBJECT_ID.STATUS" value="APPROVED"/>
<Property name="_WI_RESULT" value="A"/>
<Property name="_RESULT" value="A"/>
</Properties>
</Action>
<Action name="rejected" userDecision="yes" handler="UpdatingContainerHandler" referenceBundle="com.sap.pct.erp.mss.leaverequest.reject">
<Properties>
<Property name="_WI_OBJECT_ID.STATUS" value="REJECTED"/>
<Property name="_WI_RESULT" value="R"/>
<Property name="_RESULT" value="R"/>
</Properties>
</Action>
Kindly help

Dear All,
An Update. although workitems go away from manager's UWL, the leave status of the employee remains "SENT" and does not change to "Approved".
this is because from 3 steps that are allowed in workflow Accept(approved), reject(rejected) and cancelled(error step), the workflow progresses to step 3(cancelled).
I checked with workflow consultants and they checked everything and reported that this requirement cannot be handled by changing the workflow as enough information is not passed to them to change the status of the particular leave in the tables...
Kindly advice, if this configuration could work, or we need to go for custom development to create a new portal applicaton along with adaptive RFC's? in this case it will be a big and time consuming process in itself.

Approved and published items are not shown in the catalog search

Hello all,
We are implementing SRM 4.0 SSP scenario .
To support shopping of EBP we are also implementing CCM 2.0 as an add on.
Please note CCM and EBP are on same client and CAT & CSE are also on the same client.
No XI is involved. The catalog scheme was uploaded as CSV 2.0. The items for the catalog was created manually in CAT.
Although the item has the status "approved" and the procurement catalog which is also the master catalog was published successfully the item is not shown after searching by CSE in EBP. Also the categories of the scheme are not shown in the catalog search.
Do i have to approve the categories too and if yes can you explain me how to do this?
I think you see that I'm a newbie at srm and ccm and this problem is probably no real problem but I have not found any similar topics in the forum. So please can you help.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
Bernd

Bernd: the reason I asked about views is that you don't have any error messages. This might indicate that (a) you have no items in the view, or (b) there's something wrong with view-role-user assignment.
To check for (a), please go to the published procurement catalog, and go to Views tab. Check that your View is Active. Click on your View ID link to display view details. You should see a list of characteristics assigned to your view in Assign Characteristics sub-tab (the list should not be blank!). Go to Assign Items sub-tab. Navigate in your schema to find items that are supposed to be assigned to your view. You should see "Yes" in the "Assigned" column for those products. If you don't, then you simply don't have any items in your view.
Another thing I'd like you to check: when the user calls your procurement catalog for search, do you see the name of the catalog displayed just below the drop-down "Select Categories Hierarchically"?
Cheers,
Serguei

SAP Inbox items not shown in UWL

We are working on ESS , we have items in SAP Inbox and not shown in UWL for a employee.
We are not able to login with the actual user. Is there any possibility to see UWL items of the item without his login?
we have UWL connecters enabled for R/3 but still have problem for this user.

Hi Kiran,
If this is specific to one user or have you found same issue with others. To receive any workflow from backend system system need to be registered to UWL.
Have a look at following threads for pointers

UWL - button not shown

Hi All,
Not sure whether this question is related to workflow or to the UWL config in Portal.
We have a workflow and the decision box of that workflow shows "Acknowledge" and "Cancel and keep work item in inbox". The workitem when selected in Inbox (SBWP) shows these two buttons and the user can act accordingly.
However, when displayed in UWL in portal, it does not show "Acknowledge" button, rather it shows only "Forward" and "Assign" button.
Can someone please point, what is being missed.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Any clues. Anyone.

at WORKFLOW Part and What needs to be done at EP Part. Please specicy both coding and configuration part of them. Please help.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sai

Dear Surjith,
Sorry for the late reply.
I am currently working on EP7.0 and ECC 6.0. Please guide me on the step by step procedure to achieve mass approval of leave tasks.
As said in the document about decision views, that it will help me in handling mass approvals and rejections. But does that mean that nothing sholud be done from Workflow or R/3 part. ?
If that's so, please guide me how to implement decision views as in the document it sis not so clear and also our UWL is very much different from the one shown there.
Please help.
Thank you very much in advance,
Sai

Mass Approval of leave

Hi All,

Being an administrator, we are often reported a variety of leave problem wherein we come across one issue of Mass Approval of leave. Now this leave are belong to some Active and inactive employee either.
Can somebody help me as to how we can deal with such outstanding leave notification without having to ask their concerned supervisor?

Thanking you.
Santosh

Hi,
1.
Run SWIA:
Provide Workitem of Leave request. You can find the same from SWI5.
US , Approver ID. Provided leave approval is from ESS.
2. Mass Approve - PTARQ.
You can run T Code PTARQ -> Mass Approve.
Note:
Please refer Note for Dump in Mass Approver. As Approver(Sy-User) is not mapped it will give dump.
Provide Approver ID in mass approve.
Execute .
Select the records -> Approve it and then Click on Save.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,

Tips for using clock in/out mass approval report in the portal.

Currently there is no standalone application for mass approval of the time corrections. There is no seperate workflow template for Clock-In/Out Corrections as well. So its suggested to copy the standard leave request template WS12300111 and use it for Clock-In/Out Corrections.
Usually the volume of the Clock-In/Out Corrections for approval are large. So the report RPTCORAPP is provided for mass approval of all the Clock-In/Out Corrections pending for the manager in the backend. This report can also be used in the portal in the following way. Before proceeding, I will take up an example :-
Let us assume that we are using a custom WF template 'WS99900013' for clock in/out corrections which is a copy of the standard LeaveRequest template WS12300111. The approval task is 'TS99900043' which used for approving the workitems.
Below are steps to configure the RPTCORAPP in the portal:-
1. Change the task 'TS99900043' to point to a DUMMY method. i.e. create a DUMMY method and make the task to point to the method.
2. Save and activate the workflow.
3. Create an i-view in the portal which calls the report RPTCORAPP directly.
4. In the UWL xml file change the attributes of the task 'TS99900043' to call the PCD of that iview directly.
5. Upload the modified UWL XML file and re-register the workitems to sync it with changes of the task 'TS99900043' in the backend.
6. Test the application.
