Webdynpro leave request standard workflow

Dear Expert,
I am on EP 7 with ECC 6 backend. As for my leave request, i am able to trigger using the workflow (WS12300111) and the approver able to appprove it.
The problem is when the approver reject the request, it will send back a notification the the requester UWL for resubmition and not matter how many times the requester resubmit the leave. The notification still in the UWL. Anyway to get rid of it.
My second question is, is there any standard workflow for cancellation leave and change leave request?
Thanks in advance....
Regards,
Bryan

Dear Richard,
Thanks for your reply. My situation is as below.
1) The requester request for a leave and submit the application.
2) The leave application reach the approver UWL.
3) The approver REJECT the leave application.
4) The workflow (WS12300111) went to the resubmission flow
and trigger TS12300116.
5) The requester receive an item "Process Leave Request by
Employee" in his UWL.
6) The requester click on the item and it looks similar to the leave application screen. The requester then try to re-submit a new leave from there and send to request. However even after the requester send resubmit the leave, the item still remain in the requester UWL.
My first question is why the item still remain in the requester UWL even after the requester execute it by re-submit a new leave application. Any way to remove it or it is the workflow error
Second question is if the requester decide not to resubmit the leave application after being rejected. What is the procedure to remove the item from the requester UWL?
Thanks,
Regards,
Bryan

BAPI: IT2006, IT0014 in Webdynpro leave request scenario

Hope someone can help me with our new WEBDYNPRO leave request scenario where we want to create via workflow in our back-end R/3 system:
Infotype 2006 absence quotas.
Infotype 0014 recurring payments/deductions.
Does anyone know if there are any standard BAPI's / object type methods available to create the above infotypes?
If not available hope someone can tell me if it is a real challenge to create such a BAPI from scratch on for a medior ABAP programmer? Myself i am a functional HR consultant with little ABAP skills who likes to know how much ABAP days i need for my client in this last "from scratch on" case.
Thanks for reading and maybe replying,
Robbert Bastiaans

>> if it is a real challenge to create such a BAPI from scratch on for a medior ABAP programmer?
Not really.. you can use HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to create the infotypes.. but this function module is not RFC enabled.. what you will have to do is create a custom RFC & wrap it around the above function module..

How to approve Leave Request for Workflow in ESS?

Hey! Experts,
Currently, I am working on ESS Leave Request Workflow referening the Standard Workflow Template WS12300111. The requirements are as such, requested leave need to be approved using TS 12300007 'Approve Process'. Here, I have created a customized Rule to get the actual agent since the requirement is like i have to check if the employee who is apply for leave on the date is present in any project (alternative C-project Org. Structure is maintained) than his / her project manager will be the approver else i need to get the approver from the central HR Org. Struct. For simplicity consider the employee is currently present in only one project.
Also, for information the Rule is working fine. That is the workitem is received in the appropriate agent UWL.
Now my doubt is, there is no approve / reject button coming in the workitem in UWL
Also, after refering documentation on help.sap.com i came to know that some reports need to be run in background for approval to be done.
Here, I am confused and I am stucked as I dont know which reports need to be run and how will the approval will be done in MSS.
Kindly, give me some guidance on the same so that i can proceed.
Thnx! in advance.
And yeah points will be rewarded on giving suitable answer for this.

Hi,
Following are the some important points you should understand about ESS Leave Request Workflow
1. The Visualization ( how should it appear in UWL and what should happen when you click on a particular workitem) is defined in SWFVISU. Check for TS12300097. Generally, it invokes com.sap.xss.hr.lea.appl/LeaveRequestApprover Java WebDynpro application. Just check whether you are able to get the correct Leave Processing application called when you execute your workitem from UWL?
2. In general it should have option to process the leave request either approve/reject. When the leave request gets approved/rejected the status of the Leave Request document gets changed ( in workflow it is &REQ.STATUS&
3. There is a need to schedule a background job for program RPTARQPOST which will pick up all the documents in APPROVED status and creates an absence record for the same.
4. Apart from schedule job as mentioned above, you also have to schedule a background job for program RPTARQEMAIL, which is basically used to send e-mails for all the documents which are yet to be approved to correct manager.
as you say , you can not see Approve/Reject options from UWL, it looks to me that correct javawebdynpro application is not being called for this task. Just check this !!
Good Luck !!

Webdynpro - Leave Request Approval

Hi Colleagues,
We have implemented the mysaperp2005 ESS business package on EP7. Portal is working, leave request is working, workflows trigger and open in UWL, UWL looks OK.
However the button to execute the workflow, "Launch Webdynpro", launches the wrong URL for Leave Approval.
It gets the Port wrong using 8032
http://ourserver.com:8032/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequestApprover
Should be port 53300
http://ourserver.com:53300/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/ess~lea/LeaveRequestApprover
Cannot find where 8032 is comming from, can can't find any config for this in the LeaveRequestApprover iView properties or anywhere else. Checked every property of the LeaveRequestApprover versus LevaeRequest iView: identical.

Jimmy.

ESS Leave Request - Set Workflow status to Completed

Hi,
We are on ECC 5.0 and we are using ESS to process Leave Requests. We have a custom Workflow based on the standard Workflow template WS12300111 for approval of Leave Requests.
Whenever an employee creates a Leave Request via ESS the Workflow is started. When the employee deletes the request the Workflow has to be stopped/completed. For this we have put a Wait for Event step in a parallel branch to the Approval Process. In the Wait for Event step we wait till a condition ( Request.status = DELETED ) is met.
But when an employee deletes a Leave Request the request is deleted from the list but it gives a message as "Specify a class name".
Can anybody please help us on this( how to complete the workflow whenever the Request is deleted ) and let us know what is the procedure to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Immanuel

Hi Prashanth
Thanks for your quick reply. But that would not solve my problem. My Workflow looks something like this
                           WF-started by entries in configuration tables
                         Some activity in background
                     A fork with 2 parallel processes
                    Approval     Wait for an exception condition using Wait for event step
                      process          (wait till an attribute of a object has a specific value)
                          Workflow completed
The wait step waits for the status of the object to change to DELETED. The Workflow should get completed either if the Approval process is over or the condition specified in the Wait step is satisfied.
But in the case of ESS Leave Request this doesn't work. Is there anything that we need to do to set the status of the Workflow to Completed if the Leave Request is deleted.
Thanks

Difference in ITS Leave request and WebDynpro Leave request

Hello,
Whats the difference between ITS based leave request and webdynpro based leave request.
I read that in webdynpro based leave request there is a need for new workflow, other than what is being used in ITS based leave request. If for some period of time both are in place then will it create some kind of problem ?
Can anybody help me on this. Thanks in adv.

Workflow presents information and documents to the appropriate knowledge worker or agent (another entity such as a program) to make a decision or perform an activity.
Workflow tracks each and every step in the process flow and maintains an ongoing status.
Workflow also collects and reports all of the metrics associated with the execution and completion of the process.

Options for leave request work items in ECC6

We are upgrading our backend system from R/3 4.7 to ECC6. I am not very impressed with the leave request authorisation process and wondered if there are any other options open to us.
In 4.7, leave requests were workflowed to the requester's manager with a subject like this:
Process leave request from <fromdate> to <todate> submitted by <person>
When the manager selected it, they only see that request.
In ECC6 (using task 12300111 and the Webdynpro 'Leave Request: Approval') the subject in the inbox is;
<person>'s Leave Request
When the manager opens the item they see all leave request from all staff, despite this, they can only process one item at a time. Once completed, they are given an option to Approve Another Absence - but the link does not work. I can remove that link using ctrl-right-click, but was wondering;
1 Has anyone got the "Approve Another Absence" link working when the iView is launched from the UWL?
2 Has anyone managed to put the details of the request into the subject?
3 Has anyone managed to setup bulk authorisation of multiple requests in one step?
4 Has anyone managed to restrict the workitem to only display a single request?

Bharghava.K,
I've implemented a work around for this - I've added the following UWL configuration file as a high priority:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE UWLConfiguration PUBLIC '-//SAP//UWL1.0//EN' 'uwl_configuration.dtd'>
<UWLConfiguration version="1.0">

      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchIView" groupAction="" handler="IViewLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">

          <Descriptions default="launchIView"/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>

Check the "Leave Request: Apporval" iView's ID if you try this - I don't know if ours is in the 'standard' place within the PCD.

HELP: Customizing ESS Leave Request for multiple entries in one submission

Hi experts,
I appreciate help on this urgent problem. We're on ECC6 with EP7. My customization requirements are below:
1) Allow multiple leave entries to be submitted at one go. Standard ESS only allows one date range entry per submission. We've customized the Webdynpro Leave request form to allow multiple entries in table form.
Assuming there's 3 requests:
R1 ~ 01-Oct-2007
R2 ~ 03-Oct-2007
R3 ~ 05-Oct-2007
Whenever user clicks 'New Entry' button, Webdynpro will call bapi PT_ARQ_REQUEST_PREPARE to generate a new request ID.
When user clicks on 'Review' button, I will loop at the requests internal table and check each of the entries, which is an individual request, via BAPI PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK. Am I doing correctly so far?
The checks return no error. Next comes the problem. When I click the 'Send' button, I will loop at the request IDs (in ascending order) into BAPI PT_ARQ_REQUEST_EXECUTE. I will get a dump, saying that the object cannot be found. Debugging shows that it cannot find the first request ID (R1) in the memory. I found that if I sort the request IDs in descending order, it will be able to find the last request (R3) and could process it. However, when it comes to the 2nd last request (R2), it will give me the same dump saying that object can't not found. Both R1 and R2 cannot be found whereas only R3 can be found.
In overview, the logic we adopted is like this:
1) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_PREPARE-CREATE (R1)
2) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK (R1) upon clicking 'New Entry' Button
3) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_PREPARE-CREATE (R2)
4) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK (R2) upon clicking 'New Entry' Button
5) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_PREPARE-CREATE (R3)
6) PT_ARQ_REQUEST_CHECK (R1, R2, R3) upon clicking 'Review' Button
7) Loop PT_ARQ_REQUEST_EXECUTE ( R3 - Returns OK, R2 - Returns object not found and terminates, R1 - not processed because execution terminated by R2).
Can anyone please advise me how I should go about changing the BAPIs? Or are the CLASSes/BADIs to be changed?
<b>Points will be rewarded for helping with this urgent requirement.</b> Thank you.
Regards,
Damien

Hi Kiran,
Thanks for replying. My guess initially was also that the requests are overwritten.
I heard of another company's implementation who did the same concept and was able to do it. Unfortunately, I'm unable to get any information from them.
Initially, my frontend programmer and I thought of adopting the 'dummy checks' methodology. i.e. Do dummy checks when clicking 'New entry' or 'Review' button. This is to ensure that the entries were entered correctly at front end. Only when the user clicks on the 'Send' button, my BAPIs take in a table of request entries and perform the Request_Prepare&Request_Check&Request_Execute one at a time.
This may be expensive as there will be double the processing needed. One set for dummy checks and one set for the actual backend processing.
Is there any way that I can create multiple requests in 'transcient' state so that it won't be overwritten and I can still find it when I call the BAPI PT_ARQ_PREPARE_EXECUTE? PT_ARQ_PREPARE_EXECUTE only takes in request IDs instead of request structures.
Thanks again, Kiran, for replying. Have a good weekend.
Regards,
Damien

ESS Leave Request - Error while creating a leave record

Hi Friends,
Some of the ESS leave request(not workflow) has gone into error when the system tryies to create a leave record in background. I can view these error request using the report RPTARQDBVIEW. This happens when the background program(PTARQPOST) tries to create a leave record. In some cases the status of the leave request is set to error(the status attribute of the container element(Req) has the value Error),but we are not able to find what is actual error.Is there any log where we can check what is the problem? Please advice.

May be
Internally the pernr might not be locked or some one may be maintaing the pernr for whom you are trying to post.

Display more columns in ESS "Time Accounts" table in "Leave Request"

Hi all,
does anybody know how to configure the display of columns in the "Time Accounts" table in the ESS-WebDynpro "Leave Request" ? I currently see
Time Account / Deductible to / Entitlement / Remainder
We would like to include other columns and can't find to manage this in the WebDynpro ess~lea (we're using EP6, SAP_ESS 100 SP19) - all 12 existing columns are already set to "visible" in AccListView. In implementation of method format() in FccAccList all values are assigned, but the columns get not displayed...
Please could you advise, where and how this can be customized?
Is it to customize in backend or WebDynpro or ??
Thanks,

Leave request application in Floor plan manager?

Hi Gurus,
I have a webdynpro leave request application which is in Floor Plan Manager in Java webdynpro.
My leave request java WD application has 4 different functional steps like view-> edit->review-> complete.
User completes the steps one by one...and for that there are 4 screens--and user moves from one screen to another after completing each step.
Now I made the changes in the edit view which has the duration field which needs to be filled with half of the work schedule allocated to the employee per day if they chose half day leave in the application.
As per the requirement duration field populated the data(half of the work schedule allocated to the employee per day ) but when I hit review button,navigation goes to the next screen duration field has the value of full work schedule (say 8 hours)which suppose to be half of the workschedule .(say 4 hours).
any clues ?what will be the root cause of this problem..............
Higher points will be rewarded for the useful inputs.............
Thanks in Advance,

check the minimum duration for the particular leave type in SPRO->Personnel Management->Time Management->Time Data Recording and adminsitration->Absences->Absence Catalog->Define absence types
double click here, u shd be getting the absence type details. check if any minimum duration is set here.
also, chek the work shcdule assigned to the e ployee in infotype 7
As far, as i understand, for half-day leave, you dont have to do any chenges in the webdynpro application. This purely depends on your time config.
Please consult the time/HR consultant in this matter
Thanks and Regards

Leave Request workflow in MSS - copying standard

Dear All,
can you please help me! Im new to this HCM and SAP.
My Requirement is Manage or Team Lead creates the Leave request (on behalf of employee).
If team lead creates the LR, then the approval mail has to reach manager's UWL. he has to approve or reject.
If manager created the LR, then no need to send the mail.
What i did is, i copied the standard LR workflow - WS12300111 into a customized one.
right now i didnt change anything.
And dont even understand that how mail is going for approval in standard, since there is no mail step in standard.
i have seen about two report also - RPTARQEMAIL & RPTARQPOST .
whether i also need to use this..???????
Please advice.
Thanks,
Rani.

Hi,
First of all, you should know the difference between workitem and mail.
Work item - Action that needs to be taken on the request (i.e.)approve or reject
Mail - notification saying that your leave request has been approved (or) employee A's leave request lying with you for approval.
Work item - workflow generates it and it will go to UWL.
Mail - External program or workflow will trigger and it will go to Outlook. (But standard workflow WS12300111 won't send mail)
Now tell me your requirement.
Do you need work item or mail not to be sent when manager raises leave request?
I mean, Is no approval required for manager's leave request?
Cheers,
Raja.D
