Configuring Portal navigation targets for SAP Travel & Expenses apps in SAPR3

[Amey-Mogare]

Hello,

I have created WD ABAP iView for below travel & expenses application: -

Application Name : FITV_POWL_TRIPS

Configuration NAme : Z01_FITV_POWL_TRIPS

Now, UI of this application has some buttons (screenshot attached), like "Display/Print, Change, Copy, Delete, Create Expense Report" etc.

Click on these buttons, WD ABAP calls some specific iViews located inside below Portal folder: -

"portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.iviews/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.travel_expenses/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.12.expenses"

Now, I am looking for the place in SAP R/3 where these navigation targets are configured/stored, because I need to change them to point to my custom folder location.

Please help.

Thanks & Regards,

Amey

Hi Amey,

The location depends on how you are going about with your OBN.

Navigate to any of the POWL action iView which is currently configured and check in the Object Based Navigation tab for the iView.

If the OBN is being done using operations to BO, then the corresponding business object and operation will be displayed. You can then modify the iview tagged to the operation in Portal Content Directory.

If the OBN is being done by launchpad customization, you would have to check in ECC:

1. Go to ECC

2. Open transaction: LPD_CUST

3. Navigate to the business object for ESS/MSS

4. Search for Travel Expenses.

5. Modify the target pcd path.

Do let me know in case you need any further information, or if the issue is not resolved.

Hello Rohit,

Thanks a lot for prompt help & reply as always

I am not able to understand 'how' to navigate to Business Object for ESS/MSS (step# 3).

I am inside LPD_CUST tcode and I see a list. But don't know what to do further.

Thanks & Regards,

Amey

Hi Amey,

Can you check for Role: ESS, instance: MENU.

Open this configuration and open Travel and Expenses -> Overview -> Traveller Work Centre.

Hello Rohit,

Thanks.

Hi Amey,

I think you might be able to do this by defining the resources as follows:

1. Go to ECC

2. Open SPRO

3. Navigate to the path: Financial Accounting -> Travel Management -> Employee Self-Services -> Homepage Framework -> Resources ->Define Resources.

Here you should be able to define pcd path of your custom folders, for Expenses.

Hello Rohit,

When I go to this place, I see below screen, but don't see any actual PCD path of standard SAP content configured here.

Hello Rohit,

Yes, I set PCD location of my custom pages (starting with ROLES://portal_content/xxxx) in URL to PCD page in above screen and those buttons located inside started to point to my custom pages.

Thanks,

Amey
