ESS: Leave Request - How to use a custom Leave Workflow?

Former Member

Hi Experts,

I am implementing ESS 1.0 for mySAP ERP05. I have a custom workflow for Leave Request which I want to use for the ESS Leave Request. Can someone tell me what are the configuration steps required for this?

I have already performed the following activity:

SPRO --> Personnel Information --> ESS --> Service Specific Settings --> Working Time --> Leave Request --> Specify Processing Processes for Types of Leave

Here I have defined the WF ID of New Request as the custom Workflow ID.

Now when I trigger the Leave Request from EP-ESS, the message comes that the request was sent successfully.

But in the backend no workflow gets triggered. I even tried to write an implementation for the BADI PT_ABS_REQ to trigger the custom workflow event, but still no activity in the ECC workflow upon submitting thwe portal request.

Can some one please advise.

Thanks,

Shobhit

Hi Shobhit,

I dont know what is the design of ur custom workflow. Try copying the standard 12300111 workflow to custom WF and use this.

You will have to maintain the agent assignments correctly.

This new WF is based on Dummy class, so i m afraid that old workflow design with event linkage or SWE_EVENT_CREATE will work in this case.

I have copied the standard WF and modified the copied workflow.

Hi Ashutosh,

Even the standard workflow is not getting triggered. The agent assignment is also done.

In the customizing I could find only one place where I have to give the WF ID. Is there any other configuration i have to do in IMG?

Ohh.. So the standard WF also doesnt get triggered??

Are you sure u have done SWU3 config??

If u have, Try using SWU_OBUF to refersh the workflow buffer.

Try swi1 to check what is happening with ur WF.

Try login to requesters login ... SBWP ... check the outbox. Is there a WF with Error here.

Cheers!!
