Adding custom service to Travel and Expenses

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My requirement is to add a new service to Travel and Expenses of Employee Self-Service.

Originally, the Travel and Expenses page looks like this:

Overviews

My Trips and Expenses

My Employees

Create New

Create Travel Request

Create Travel Plan

Create Expense Report

Express Expense Sheet

General Information

Route Planning

Personal Information

My Travel Profile

Unlock Personnel Number

After adding a new service named 'Trips and Expense Reports Overview' to Overviews at position 3:

Overviews

My Trips and Expenses

My Employees

Create New

Trips and Expense Reports Overview

Create Travel Request

Create Travel Plan

Create Expense Report

General Information

Express Expense Sheet

Personal Information

Route Planning

My Travel Profile

Unlock Personnel Number

Notice that the new service was placed under Create New subarea and all services after it moved one position down where as the titles of the subareas are still at the same position.

I have followed the steps defined here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/en/e3/fd8fcdcdcb4263940387d97c8ff444/frameset.htm

Can anyone tell why this is happening?

Thanks and Regards,

Allen

Did you add your new service to the correct sub area in table V_T7XSSSERSAR ?

This is where the services are grouped into sub areas.

[Former Member]

Yes. I did. But as you can see from the result, the other links got affected. They moved one position down. Some even got moved to another subarea.

If you are on EHP4 then go through below link....

Are you using some proxy classes to get service links dynamically ?

[Former Member]

Thanks for the link. But, I've already read that one

Now that you mention it, the services under the Travel and Expenses use a proxy class CL_TRAVEL_AREAPAGE. I'm just not sure how this affects the link positioning. As I understand, the proxy class only handles the availability (visible or enabled) of the link.

check the position of the services and assign them correctly to Travel Subarea

1) Services have not been assigned to subareas

in V_T7XSSSERSAR

2) Services such as EMPLOYEE_TRAVEL_REQUEST

have not been linked to resources containing the correct

URL of PCD path - this is either blank or points to a different

location which is not part of the users Portal role

run HRXSS_SER_GETAREAMENUDATA in backend to see what links are displayed.
