Additional absence type for manager in Self-Service for My Employee

[liam_wilkinson]

Hi All,

We have a requirement for the manager to have an additional absence type when using 'Self-Service for My Employee' AKA 'ESSinMSS'.

We would like the manager to be able to enter sickness for their employees, but we don't want the employee to be able to enter this particular absence type themself, or even see the additional absence type.

I have tried using Rule Groups but this does not seem to work for the employee. I set up the config so that the manager has the rule group with the additional absence type, but when the manager goes into his employee through 'Self-Service for My Employee' they do not get the additional absence type, as it is only assigned to the manager not the employee.

At the moment the nearest I can get to the solution is to give everyone the additional absence tyoe but only give the manager the authorisation to enter it for someone else, we need another solution to this as this would mean that the employee would try and enter the absence type and get an error message as they do not have authorisation.

what other options are available to me? and have anyone else came accross this problem before?

Regards Liam

you can have a absence type in V_T554S_WEB with Employees Not Permitted to Submit Requests

Specifies whether employees are permitted to submit requests for each

or in the badi, you can build a small check for the absences employees can request

Unfortunately all the absences will be displayed to the end user if he is not authorised too request, But you can

have a check on whether he can apply the leave or not, That is some absences which are exclusively for the manager

in the BADI

Thanks Siddharth,

just clearing some old questions and noticed i hadn't awarded any points, got this working by updating the img you suggested and by creating a new rule group.
