Quota overview in MSS

[Former Member]

The requirement is to let the manager see the "quota overview" or Infotype 2006/2007 data (which usually the employees see in ESS) in MSS.

Not quite sure if this is available in std functionality... tried looking at attendance overview.. , absence days under "general information" and also, Related activites (ESS in MSS).

"absence days" under general information comes close to it but it displays only the days that were taken off and not the accured/remaining balance.

still wondering if its hiding somewhere in std functionality, if not what is the best practice to achieve this ?

We are on ECC 6.0 and EP 7.0.

Thanks in advance

Mark,

When a manager approves leave for an employee he can always see the quota available and consumed. Check if this is ok with your requirement.

Dear all,

I am also having similar requirement. Is it possible to show Quota overiew iview of ESS in "MSS >> Team >> Employee Information" Page so manager can view employee leave quota?. I tried adding the Quota overview iView in MSS Employee Information page but it is showing only Manager's leave quota even when i change the employee. Please suggest me on how to proceed further.

Thanks in advance,

We faced the same issue a while back and ended up creating a WebDynpro ABAP application to display quota balances in both ESS and MSS.

It just calls BAPI_TIMEQUOTA_GETDETAILEDLIST and summarises the various quota types into a simple table. You can also include a "Key Date" selection that allows users to project their future accrual amounts.

For the MSS version we just put the new iView on a page with the standard MSS Employee Search (Java) iView, and the two communicate via portal eventing.

You need to be on at least SPS12 to do this though. Have a look at [this thread|; for more info on that aspect.

Cheers,

John

You can create a new link for the service ie Quota Overview using Define Services and then assign this is to the MSS

view.

for example :

Service Key Z_Quota_OvervieW

Link Resource Give the Resource of the Quota overview

http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000071392008E/HRAS_ESSMSS_iViews_EhP2.pdf

Page number 14 will be revelant

Its easy to implement, I did this and works.

Good luck

Why not use "ESS in MSS"? It allows a manager to view/maintain ESS services for their employees. You could just use that part of that....no?

Hello Chris,

Thanks for getting back. Yes, ESS in MSS is where we have been looking. The standard delivered services has most of the ESS applications in MSS .. Record work time, Personal data , travel related aplications etc.

But the one that we are looking for Quota overview which comes under Leave request sub area in working time, is not available in MSS... any ideas on how to get "quota overview" application seen in MSS ?

[Former Member]

it is not a part of MSS.

We took a copy of the standard display qualifications bsp and adapted it to show the quota overview.

maybe that's an option for you too?
