EHP5 and leave request

[Former Member]

Hi

I have seen the new functionality around mass approval of leave requests in EHP5. Unfortunately only on paper. My question is:

The list that is presented to the manager: Does it represent records from the leave request database, or does it represent individual workflow task - or a combinaton of the 2?

Thanks in advance

its a Mass approval like a list where he select all and approve at a time, he can choose any action he wants to!

similar to one you get in Rptarqapp but far better, it contains all columns showing all the information for the approver

above all, its just one step now!!!

Thanks, Siddharth,

My question is rather: Does this involve the WF, or is it (as I seem to read from your answer) a direct look into the RPTARQDB?

In our version today (EHP4), the approver gets a WI for each leave request, and he approves it via UWL.

yes it does involve WF also and also read the sent status of the requests from leave request database and displays it to intended approver.

For leave request application to be called , we specify the parameters

in transaction SWFVISU through which the application is called when

processed from universal worklist.

I request you to use standard leave request task TS21500003 and please

replace the existing visualization parameter DYNPARAM from

WI_ID=${item.externalId} to

LRF_REQUEST_ID=${item.REQUESTID}. This can be done from transaction

SWFVISU.

Thanks so much again, Siddharth.

As I am not very familiar with the visualization parameters:

Will this mean I determine the task doesn't show up UWL?

(Doesn't make sense to have it both places?)

Also - when approved via mass approval, I would imagine WF will complete as usual after RPTARQPOST and RSWWCOND?

PS - afraid the link you posted doesn't work.
