Workflow in MSS

Hello All,
I have been trying to configure workflow for use in PCR (Personnel Change Request) forms in MSS.
I think I have already configured workflow, for the most part, but I am getting errors in the form of emails after initiating PCRs.
For a PCR without approval, I am getting the following error:
Executed Action: Exception Occurred
Error Message: Error when starting work item 000000002021 Message no. SWP085
This is followed by several other errors.
Can anyone guide me as to the reason of this error please?
Regards,
Motaz

Dear Rick,
I went to SWU_OBUF and started the synchronization.
However, I got no confirmation message or any kind of acknowledgment. I tried the workflow again but I still get the same error messages.
What do you mean by re-activating the workflow?
As for the other errors:
Executed Action: PROCESS_NODE
Error Message: Error when processing node '0000000004' (ParForEach index 000000) Message no. SWP088
Executed Action: CREATE
Error Message: Error when creating a component of type 'Step' Message no. SWP087
Executed Action: CREATE_WIM_HANDLE
Error Message: Error when creating a work item   Message no. SWP044
Executed Action: CREATE_VIA_WFM
Error Message: Agent determination for step '0000000004' failed   Message no. SWF_RUN519
Executed Action: EVALUATE_AGENT_VIA_RULE
Error Message: Workflow WS50000033 no. 000000002037 activity 0000000004 role 'AC50000134': No agent found   Message no. WL470
Executed Action: AC50000134
Error Message: Resolution of rule AC50000134 for task TS50000075: no agent found   Message no. 5W302
These are the full texts.

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

Delete Workflow items from workflow inbox.

Hello All,
We are using workflow in MSS for Compensation Management. As part of this an email will be sent to the managers when a compensation needs an approval. There are some workflow items under workflow inbox ( SBWP ) . How can I delete emails which I don't want to execute. I don't see any delete button. I can see delete buttons for the documents under inbox, but these emails that I want to delete are under workflow in Inbox.
Thanks a lot for your help and points will be rewarded for any helpful solution.
Thanks,
Chakri.

Thank You Suresh,
You are refering to the emails in the inbox ( SBWP ) where I can delete my emails with the help of a delete button. But I am referring to the workflow items that are present under INBOX -> WORKFLOW. There is no delete button on these workflow items. If we execute these workflow items then they will be deleted automatically. I am looking for a solution by which I can delete (clean up) all the workflow items that are not executed from last year so that we can be ready for our compensation for this year.
Thanks,
Chakri.

Calling Adobe form in a Workflow Step for approval

Hello,
There are some ISR forms and workflows in MSS which use Workflow tasks configured as JavaWebDynpro to call Adobe form from the Workflow Step.
Is it possible to achieve the same using ABAP Web Dynpro and creating a new task and configuring to use it as an ABAP Web Dynpro (which can in turn call the Adobe form from the WD)?
Thanks.

Hi Anjali,
1)You can develop an RFC that collects required basic data from R/3 and display them in ABAP WD - Adobe Form. The End user can change/fill the remaining contents of the Adobe Form and submits it for approval. The RFC again handles the triggering part of the Workflow and passes the form data to the workflow containers.And for approvals, you can use the SWFVISU to call a ABAP WD application from Workflow. And in turn the control again goes back to RFC and so...
2)I dont have much idea in ECC 60 if there is a similar ABAP WD application like Standard Java WD IsrFormApprove.
3)No idea.

Raja Sekhar

Automatic refresh requisition status overview in MSS e-recruiting

Hi guys,
We are implementing e-recruiting 6.0 and de MSS functionality to request a requisition with approvals. The manager can see his/her requests in the requisition status overview to follow-up. If we create a new requisition, the list is only updated with this after you close the browser and log back in in the portal. Is there any way to activate the automatic refresh of this list?
Thanks
Karolien

Nilesh,

Can u pls, send some documentation you have to the below mail address

Creating wf within MSS for the approval OT

Hi every one,
Overtime can be entered by the non-exempt salaried employees in ESS. Once entered, it is being sent to the immediate manager for approval/refusal. The problem is, if the manager goes on vacation or is out of the office for a long period of days, the manager can not delegate to someone the task to approve the OT sent by the employees. In creating a workflow within MSS for the approval of the OT, it will ensure that it is being treated in due time and will be paid on the proper pay period. In doing so, we will assure to the employees that they will receive the monies for their hours worked. It will also assure the continuity and flexibility of the OT process when a manager is not there to approve the OT submitted by the employees.
Any one have an idea if exist a standard wf or tasks ?
Thanks in advance
Soufiene

I' m searching wich wf is using for this TS20000459 .
I used SWU0 for event COMPLETED and i found several tasks.
I know that business use a wf or task to approve or reject OT , how i can found a wf that they use ?
Thanks in advance

Universal Worklist in MSS

Hi,
We are facing an issue in Manager's Inbox in MSS wherein the manager is unable to 'Approve' or 'Reject' any workitems like Time Sheet Entry'/ Absence Requests / Training Booking Requests as there is no button to do this in the Work item received via Workflow in MSS.
The 'Approve' / ''Reject' buttons are visible in the inbox in ECC - checked via transaction in Business workplace ->Inbox-> Workflow.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,
Arpita

I think there must be some setting from portal end. Why can't you check with your EP consultant.

Requested End Deadline monitoring for Background Activity Step

Hi All,
Workflow for MSS Position change has been implemented in the system.
When a request was created thru Portal the Workflow was triggered but it got stuck.
I found that in a background activity step there is a requested end deadline monitoring which was reached.
Since it is a background activity there is no agent assigned, then what could be the reason that the deadline was reached ?
Can anyone tell me when is the Requested End deadline triggered ?
Regards,
Radhika.

Hello,
Yes, if it's workitem creation time + 1 minute then it means the deadline (any deadline - Latest End, Requested End, Requested Start etc, they're all the same, they just have different names) gets triggered.
What happens next depends on how that deadline has been defined - it may just send a message to someone and do nothing else (ie it leaves the background process running). Or it may be a modeled deadline set up to end the process. Have a look in the Requested End tab to see what it does.

ECM and CM custom programs.

Hello Gurus,
We are in SAP 4.6c now and currently upgrading the system to ECC 5.0, As part of this we are planning to go to ECM ( enterprise compensation management ). We are currently using CM and we have a lot of cutom programs and user exits in this now. If we change to ECM then what will be the case of customizing and custom programs? Shall we have to do it all again from the scratch. As the infotypes differ for CM and ECM my guess is to redo the work in ECM. Please advice. We are currently using workflow in MSS for compeensation administration and what will be case if we move to ECM? Shall we have to do it again?
Suresh - please provide me with your valuble ideas. I saw some threads and understood that you are currently using ECM. Please advice on this. What will be the Big challenge on this if we move from existing CM to ECM? How much time will this take?
Thank You all in advance,
Chakri.

>>Can you please let me know how much time it took for you to implement ECM?
It really depends on what you want to accomplish? If you have MSS up & running it should not take you more than 3 months.. the config & setting up the Budgets etc would take a couple of weeks.. beyond that, a lot of time would be consumed though during the functional/integration testing..
>>So if I activate the ECM in IMG will this create a node in the SAP menu under personnel management?
The ECM Node already exists under Personnel Management in the IMG.. when you activate ECM, the you set the ECMON switch in th table T77S0 & and allow users to have immediate access to the related functionality.

MSS Approval Report Links to Busines Workflow Task in UWL

Hello All,
I have a scenario below that I'm hoping you can help.
I copied the standard business workflow task "TS31000007: CATS Approval by Supervisor" to create our own task (general task) and link the 'CatManagerApprove' application and 'sap.com/msscatapproval' package to this task in the Workflow Visualization Configuration.
We then assigned this new task to the time data entry profile for the portal. Once, employee released the working time, the task is created and send to the Universal Worklist.
The manager can then access the UWL and open this approve time workflow task. This task is open to the MSS Approval Report (similar to what appear under the MSS > Tasks > Approve Time by Manager).
However, I have copied the Approve Time by Manager to our own and changed some of the order of the column and header text and assigned to the MSS role.
I would like to have this CATS approval task open to the same approval report view/layout as in the MSS Approval Report.
I've tried to change the layout (column order) through portal contents of the standard MSS Approval Report because I thought it was reading from there, but it's not.
Does anyone know how this can be done or where to point to the MSS Approval Report on the portal.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Karri,
We were able to use the launch iview task to launch our specific iview but I cannot seem to get it to recognize the workitem. In other words, when I click on the task in the UWL, my approve working time iview appears but it does not have the data that is from the workflow task item. Attached is the XML code that I used:
<ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS93000001.SAP_ECC_Financials" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchIView" executionMode="default">
 <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_ECC_Financials" externalType="TS93000001" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
 <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">
 <Properties>
 <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
 <Property name="page" value="pcd:portal_content/net.saccounty.SacCounty/net.saccounty.approve_ts_data"/>
 <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
 <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
 <Property name="workitemId" value="${item.externalId}"/>
 </Properties>
 <Descriptions default=""/>
 </Action>
 </Actions>
 </ItemType>
I thought the line <Property name="workitemId" value="${item.externalId}"/> would pick up the work item ID, but it is not working. Any suggestions?
TS93000001 is our task. approve_ts_data is our iview. It opens in a new window correctly and goes to the correct iview, just is not the actual task data.
Thank you,
Mark.

GL Workflow items from ECC 6.0 to MSS

Hi all,
Here is quite basic question related to MSS portal:
Could you please advice how the workflow items are transferred from SAP ECC 6.0 to MSS portal?
I guess it is done via some kind of XML file...but does anybody have any better idea how to find this file or a program responsible for its creation in SAP?
We need to remove some items from the file to protect them to be shown in MSS portal.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.
kind regards,
Slawomir Ptas

WF items which are available in SBWP is shown in UWL ie in MSS. Its one to one mapping
You can use filtering to hide some items in UWL.
