Approve Working in MSS as delegate/substitute

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are using MSS in the portla without UWL functionality. Standard the 31000007 workflow sends to the approver a workflow item based on the standard HR hierarchical structure shown in PPOME. The MSS data shown in the Worktime Approval screen is also collected through the standard HR hierarchical structure show in PPOME. We are facing with the fact that when a manager is sick we like that the substitute apporves the hours. We can set a substitute releation with A210/B210 but the following 2 issues are we facing:

1) Cow can in the initial screen the data in the MSS approval screen be shown. Can someone tell me what lines I need to put in OOAW customizing for a new evaluation path and how these paths should be inserted in the MSS Data Object Provider customizing? I don't seem to get it working.

2) We also like that the substitute/delegate receives the worktime of 31000007 in his mailbox. Standard the A210/B210 relation is not taken into account. Is there a way to get this standard working? If not which function module do I need to adjust to determine the receiver?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Mirko

A210/B1210 this will work if the subsitution is maintained at the position level

In your case without UWL how approval is done? through approve time sheet data or CATS_APPR_LITE as a transaction iview

You need to either forward workitems through SWIA or through portal which is a possibility

Hello,

We use the approval in ESS/MSS Approval Working Time link in the Portal. Not through UWL. We want to set the substitute and the relation A210/B210 is set. In the ESS/MSS Approval Working Time link, when pressed, the hour record are standard loaded/displayed based on the relation A002/B002 for the lower level employees. The A210/B210 releation are not taken into account.

Meaning that the Workflow substituation is set, but the manager needs to go into the inbox for delegate apporval instead of MSS Approval Working Time link so it seems because the hour records based on the relation A210/B210 are not displayed there. So I need on evaluation path in the MSS Data Object provider but I don't seem to get it working. So I was wondering what lines I need to put in OOAW and how to assign this evaluation path in the MSS Data & Object provider customizing so that the hour records A210/B210 are also shown in the MSS Approval Working Time initial screen. I don't seem to get it working. If I get OOAW working with MSS Data & Object Provider customizing then I'm there.

Thanks.

Hope I clarified.

Kind regards,

You can check the workflow status by .SWIA

Then you can find the details ralted the WOrkflow and its tasks
