HR renewal FP4: Substitution functionality and UI5 based MSS

[Former Member]

G'day,

We are working on a HR Renewal 1.0 FP4 based system. We are using NWBC 4.0 PL5(now that really matters for this issue). We are using UI5 based ESS and MSS. We have configured UI5 based Approval service with relevant configuration with Gateway services configuration. So we can see workflow tasks coming though now.

Now we are looking at Substitution functionality and how this will work with Approval service and other MSS services like Workforce Viewer, My team etc. We did create a substitution rule and  tried to test this impact but there was no additional UI5 based access available to substitute manager.

For WDA based MSS, there is a separate role "Manager Self Service Substitution ",which allows access to team and related services for assigned team. While using usual/standard MSS role, user can still access his/her normal team and related services.

So i wonder if such functionality has been delivered as part of UI5 offering.

As per help reference Manager Self-Service (SAPUI5) - SAP Library, there is no specific mention if UI5 based MSS should/will be accessible to substituted manager.

Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Sudhir

You are right, There is no subsitution functionality released for UI5 MSS as of now, probably assigning the old role of WDA will help to access the other services ie apart from   UI5 homepage?

and of course there  is no new link or tab for it in UI5 Landing page, We have let known the development for it, i ll confirm again when its planned

Thanks Siddharth and Sahir for your inputs.

Look forward to see when this functionality can be available on UI5.

It disappointing for clients who were looking to totally move their ESS/MSS on UI5. Now they will have a bit of hybrid solution in their environment. Surely training and HR support team will have tough time getting the message across.

Thanks Siddharth.

If there is any plans to port to HR renewal 1.0 FP4 based services as well. We are in the mix of project build now and won't possible to move to Renewal 2.0 (unless UI /functionality changes are minimal). Can we get access to potential release date/any details on functionality.

Thanks a lot.

As far as I am aware - looks like substitution functionality is not available with UI5. May be can confirm that.

If UI 5 MSS role does not support substitution can we not create a Z role with the needed applications from Manager Self Service Substitution role.

Siddharth - hope you can assist with you inputs.

Thanks.
