ESS - Employee Self Service is an web enabled tool used to
update their own datas by the employee itself.
MSS- Manager Self Service is an web enabled tool used for
Managers to take report or update the datas of subordinate.
This will give you a comprehensive idea:
To implement LEAVE REQUEST &APPROVAKL, both ESS and MSS are
not mandatory. But ESS is required.However this
functionality is developed to be avaialable in MSS also if
a client wants have both ESS and MSS. Without MSS, the
business flow of Leave request would be in ESS is like
this:
1. An employee wants to take two weeks of leave. He or she
accesses the Leave Request Web application. He or she sees
in the Team Calendar that other team members also have
leave at the same time. Nonetheless, he or she requests
leave for the planned period.
2. The leave requires approval. The system automatically
determines the approver responsible and lists the name in
the Web application. If required, the employee can
overwrite the name of the approver.
1. The employee's request is stored in the database of
leave requestswith the status Sent.
2. Once a day, the RPTARQEMAIL report (Leave Requests: Send
E-Mails) is run in the background. The system sends an e-
mail to the appropriate approver for the requests with
status Sent that require approval. The e-mail notifies the
approver of the steps required.
3. The approver accesses the Approve Leave Requests Web
application from the Universal Work list.. The application
provides the approver with a list of all the leave requests
that require his or her approval.
4. The approver selects the employee's leave request. After
checking the Team Calendar, the approver realizes that the
employee's leave request cannot be approved since it would
mean there would not be enough team members at work for the
period in question.
5. The approver writes a note in which he or she states why
the request has been rejected. He or she then rejects the
request.
6. The RPTARQEMAIL report sends an e-mail to the employee
notifying him or her that the request was rejected. The
employee accesses the Leave Request Web application. He or
she selects the request in the Absence Overview. He or she
sees in the note the reason why the request was rejected.
7. The employee looks at the Team Calendar and finds a
period in which no other team members are on vacation. He
or she changes the period of the request. The employee
specifies the change in period in the note.
8. The RPTARQEMAIL notifies the approver of the request by
e-mail. This time the approver can approve the request.
9. The request receives the status Approved in the
database. The RPTARQEMAIL report sends an e-mail to the
employee notifying him or her that the request was
approved.
10. The system processes the requests further according to
their status:
11. The RPTARQPOST report (Leave Requests: Post) writes all
requests in the database that have the status Approved to
the Absences (2001) or Attendances (2002) infotype.
12. The system may not be able to post the requests to the
infotypes if, for example, they collide with other infotype
records. These requests are given the status With Errors.
13. The RPTARQEMAIL report sends an e-mail to the relevant
time administrator to notify him or her that the requests
were unable to be posted.
14. The time administrator accesses the RPTARQERR report
(Leave Request: Process Posting Errors). It lists the
requests with errors.
15. The time administrator analyzes the error situation in
the backend system.
16. If he or she can solve the cause of the problem and
save the data record in the infotype, he or she uses the
RPTARQERR report to set the request to Posted.
17. If the problem cannot be solved, because the employee
has other commitments at the time, for example, the time
administrator rejects the request.
18. The RPTARQEMAIL report sends an e-mail to the employee
notifying him or her of the change in status of the request
(in ESS)
