WDA ESS timesheet EHP6

Hi Guys - I was wondering if I could create an iView from WD app Record Working Time and Leave Request and use the iView on our Portal.
I see the there is a HRESS_A_MENU application which is an entry point to all the ESS services but don't see a separate WDA for Record working time adn leave request.
Thanks,
-Ashwani

I believe you already use EHP5 or above because the landing page for ESS already using HRESS_A_MENU. To check the link pointing to which application, go-to TCode LPD_CUST (Launchpad Customization) where the link all maintained there. If you are still using the standard LPD_CUST setting, just check Role "ESS" for instance "MENU". You dont need to maintain any iView anymore. It's require only one iView for HRESS_A_MENU only, and the application will read LPD_CUST configuration.
Hope it help.

ESS Timesheet not showing correct SUM column

Hi Gurus,
We have recently implemented ESS Timesheet on EHP6 for one of our client. In the application, the “total” column doesn’t get updated whereas for the same pernr if we see CAT2 then there the “Total” column is updated.
Request your urgent help on this.
Regards

yes, when you create new entry in CAT2 and mention all the no of hours for each day and press enter key then automatically it will get the total hours and display in that cell.
In Portal, once click on new entry and fill the no.of hours click on Check button then automatically it will calculate the total no.of hours and display in that cell.

EhP5 WDA ESS: Not able to marke fields as mandatory

Hello Community,
currently I am customizing WDA ESS Scenarios on EhP5. I added some new fields in the method IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM~GET_DEFINITION of the feeder class for the scenario.
The method has also an EXPORTING Parameter for the field descriptions (ET_FIELD_DESCRIPTION).
The table line is structure of FPMGB_T_FORMFIELD_DESCR and I did the following to mark some fields as 'mandatory':
READ TABLE et_field_description WITH KEY name = 'STRAS' ASSIGNING <fs_wa_mand_field>.
<fs_wa_mand_field>-MANDATORY = abap_true.
READ TABLE et_field_description WITH KEY name = 'PSTLZ' ASSIGNING <fs_wa_mand_field>.
<fs_wa_mand_field>-MANDATORY = abap_true.
READ TABLE et_field_description WITH KEY name = 'ORT01' ASSIGNING <fs_wa_mand_field>.
<fs_wa_mand_field>-MANDATORY = abap_true.
READ TABLE et_field_description WITH KEY name = 'ZZ_CITY_CODE' ASSIGNING <fs_wa_mand_field>.
<fs_wa_mand_field>-MANDATORY = abap_true.
READ TABLE et_field_description WITH KEY name = 'MELDEZETTEL' ASSIGNING <fs_wa_mand_field>.
<fs_wa_mand_field>-MANDATORY = abap_true.
Now I expect, that the fields on the ESS scenario would have a red asterisk. But I am also able to save the data with not entering all neccessary data.
What I have to do, to mark the fields as mandatory?
Thank you and best regards, Christian

Hello community,
I've found the problem.
So in method IF_FPM_GUIBB_FORM~GET_DATA the table CT_FIELD_USAGE was overwritten. At the top of the method this table had the information about all mandatory field. But during the processing the table was overwritten and the information which fields are mandatory, as well.
So if you define the mandatoy fields at the bottom of the method you will get the red asterisk.
Here the code snippet:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <fs_wa_mand_field> TYPE FPMGB_S_FIELDUSAGE.
*** Define maddatory fields
READ TABLE CT_FIELD_USAGE WITH KEY name = 'STRAS' ASSIGNING <fs_wa_mand_field>.
<fs_wa_mand_field>-MANDATORY = abap_true.
READ TABLE CT_FIELD_USAGE WITH KEY name = 'PSTLZ' ASSIGNING <fs_wa_mand_field>.
<fs_wa_mand_field>-MANDATORY = abap_true.
READ TABLE CT_FIELD_USAGE WITH KEY name = 'ORT01' ASSIGNING <fs_wa_mand_field>.
<fs_wa_mand_field>-MANDATORY = abap_true.
READ TABLE CT_FIELD_USAGE WITH KEY name = 'ZZ_CITY_CODE' ASSIGNING <fs_wa_mand_field>.
<fs_wa_mand_field>-MANDATORY = abap_true.
READ TABLE CT_FIELD_USAGE WITH KEY name = 'MELDEZETTEL' ASSIGNING <fs_wa_mand_field>.
<fs_wa_mand_field>-MANDATORY = abap_true.
Thank you and best regards, Christian

Consumer Proxy Time Account ESS Timesheet

Hi Folks,
On the ESS timesheet, we have been facing a recurring Error message saying: "System error: No receiver could be determined".
I've been looking over the whole web, found some hints about how to make this message disappear, and it seems that the key transaction is SOAMANAGER.
Unfortunately, after loads of test configuring Service definitions and Consumer proxies i can't make it go away.
I'm not sure i'm using the right Service definition and Consumer Proxies, I've did my tests on the followings:
Service --> EETMECAL_WTS_EE_QR
Consumer --> CO_CATS_EMPLOYEE_TIME_CALENDAR
Does anyone already did this configuration and could lead me to a solution?
Just a quick recall, this message appeared after checking the foloowing checkbox in CAC1:
Thanks in advance for any kind of help you could provide me.

Hello,
Do you still have an issue with this? If not never mind.
I happened to read this to configure our own scenario. I am able to get this resolved. We are not using PI so it was easier. But if you are then I see couple of issues.
In the above image, set the role to Application System. Create a HTTP type RFC connection and name it as INTEGRATION_SERVER. In the RFC the path prefix should be "/sap/xi/engine?type=entry".
To answer your error messages below
System NOt yet configured : System error: System not configured as XI Integration Engine - NA
Application system : System error: URL to call the Integration Server is missing on t - see below
Integration Server :System error: Proxy calls are not permitted on sender or receiver - NA
In the Configuration URL enter http://hsape06db:8006. System error "URL to call" error will be gone.
There might be more issues depending on whether you have all the PI configuration in place.
thanks

Plan/Act text on ESS Timesheet

Hi,
In the ESS timesheet, there are 2 rows underneath the column headings which are "greyed-out" which correspond to the Plan and Act times.
Currently the texts "Plan" & "Act" appear in the column to the left of the "Totals" column. The column to the left of the "Totals" column is currently the Activity Type description column.
So what we have is the activity type column heading named "Description", then underneath we have the texts "Plan" and "Act".
My question basically is that if the user moves the activity type description column somewhere else or hides this column, the "Plan" & "Act" texts also move or are hidden.
Is there a way to "disassociate" those 2 texts from the activity type description so that they always appear to the left of the "Totals" column?
Thanks,
Denis

Hi Siddharth,
Yes the whole texts get displaced as well... I'll try and represent what I mean below. In the original view of the timesheet there is:
Activity Type   WBS Element   Rec. Order   Att/Abs Type    Proj. Descr   Act. Type Desc.   Total   MO   TU   WE   TH   FR
                                                                         Plan                40
                                                                         Act                 40
Z009            NPI-00008                      D065        Test Desc     Inspect             40     8    8    8    8   8
Now if the user changes the order of the columns where they want to put the "Act. Type Desc" beside the Activity Type field they end up with this:
Activity Type   Act. Type Desc.   WBS Element   Rec. Order   Att/Abs Type    Proj. Descr   Total   MO   TU   WE   TH   FR
                Plan                                                                         40
                Act                                                                          40
Z009            Inspect            NPI-00008                    D065        Test Desc        40     8    8    8    8    8
So as you can see, the texts "Plan" & "Act" also get displaced to the 2nd column, but they should in theory be to the left of the Totals column, as they relate to the totals.
I was just wondering if there is a way to make sure the "Plan" & "Act" remain to the left of the Totals.
Thanks,
Denis

Who's who as WDA ESS?

Hi there,
I am a brand new IDES Enh. Pack 5 system that I am trying to convince to show me how the Who's Who employee self service works. Today we have a system with Enh. Pack 3 with all our employee data loaded, but we have not configured employee self services as we do not have a java based system to deploy it on.
As a proof of concept and to convince the correct people that we need to upgrade to Enh. Pack 5 sooner rather than later I would really like to be able to show a demo of the Who's Who application. But how can I demonstrate it? It seems like the IDES system has a number of employees defined in client 800, so the question that remains is only what type of configuration is missing. I have already googled quite a bit to try to find a configuration guide or a how to, but all the documentation that I can find relate to the java version of the ESS.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Anders

You have to Java version, as this WHOs WHO is not yet available in WD ABAP , it should be in EHP6
Please refer the above forum
Yes this is not available, only in add on you have it
In Enhancement Package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, we have not delivered
Who's who and Org Chart applications based on Web Dynpro ABAP.
You can continue using the WebDynpro JAVA applications, for
more information on the release please refer the note 1450179.
ie
Services available in Employee self-service (WDA) is listed here:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/en/cd/1c7eb674214a3b
8b62e6fe7f4bb0cf/frameset.htm
Please feel free to look into the documentation above.
For your convinience I listed some details here:
Some of the WD JAVA applications which do not yet have coverage in the
new WD ABAP based ESS are:
- Employee Search
- Who is who
- Enrollment and related applications (Enrollment, Open enrollment,
Participation overview, Benefits participation)
- Skills Profile and Matchup
- Sample processes for "Life and work events"

End User - ESS Timesheet Display Issue

Hi All,
Hopefully I have posted this in the correct forum. I tried to search of the issue I have for an end user but had no success, so I thought since my post graduate study surrounds ERP systems and work with SAP every day, I though it was best to register.
Now the issue I have here is, when the user goes into their portal ESS to view their timesheets, the display is unsual. They do not have an option to manually go back to previous weeks and the view of their timesheet is 'squashed' in (Timesheet Entry View) but if you scroll across to the right where the date and 'go to' function is, it has been cut off. There are no issues with any other users so it appears to be a local issue
Currently, I have reverted back to IE7, checked for any add on's that may cause display issues, I have checked their roles and everything is normal. The only issue I can see is some conflicting issues is with the Browser and SAP.
Any help will be appreciated.
Edited by: A_Ali_ on Jul 19, 2011 1:05 AM

Check the configuration setting for the profile that's being used by ESS. As this is where you can restrict user's ability to navigate forward and back from current week etc.
Cheers,
Brad

ESS Timesheet Approval from ESS

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.

ESS Timesheet error with Clock Times

Hi everyone,
Has anyone seen this issue? (ERP 6.0, EP 7):
Timesheet data entry profile is configured 'With Clock Times' and WITHOUT 'Release on Saving'. On the daily view of the timesheet, when clock times are entered and Refresh or Review is depressed, the number of hours is populated and the following error displays:
"Number of hours not valid when Start Time and End Time are entered"
This only displays:
- when the profile is configured without 'Release on Saving' checked. When it IS checked, the error goes away.
- from the daily view (no clock times on the Weekly View)
- in the portal timesheet, not via CAT2 in ECC
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

<u>Without checking 'Release on saving':</u> The system checks the number of hours value with the corresponding hours mentioned in IT0007.
<u>On checking 'Release on saving':</u> It overwrites the number of hours stored in IT0007 in the back end system.
This happens because this option has dependency with 'With Clock times' option. For this option, the system automatically deducts unpaid breaks, as determined in the employees's work schedule, when calculating the number of hours.
If this helps, pl do reward.
Thanks

ESS Timesheet - Record Working Time application partialy in german

I initially deployed the ESS BP and the Time Entry -> Record Working Time application was comming completely in english.
Then I changed the JCO references of ess/cat DC to some other backend, still the app was english.
When I changed the JCO reference back again this time the Record Working Time application was half in german langauge.Text on tab strip, all buttons are in german.
I even changed ProjectProperties.wdproperties property masterLanguage="en", earlier this was masterLanguage="de"
Still half the app is in german. I even deployed the standard ess/cat DC again still no luck.
How do I make it english back and what is the reason for random behavior?
Regards,
Vishal

Make sure you have no language set up with Jco connection
it should be blank!
Normally no language should be maintained for the above mentioned JCO's
If you have maintained any language for the JCO's ,kindly put it
blank.
http://help.sap.
com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/49/e607426338da6fe10000000a1550b0/
frameset.htm
Please have a look at the Note 947081
this is how language are set
the hierarchy of what locale a component will be shown in the portal,
will be :
1)component- if he have a locale define
2) portal mandatory locale -( that's what we suggest)
3)user locale
4)browser locale
5)Portal default locale
6) system locale

Thanks,
Nachy

We used no automatic release using the TCATS table.
