Employee Self Service is a
web enabled tool used to update their own data by the employee itself.
MSS- Manager Self Service
Manager Self Service is a
web enabled tool used for Managers to take report or update the data of subordinate.
This will give you a
comprehensive idea:
To implement LEAVE
REQUEST & APPROVAL, both ESS and MSS are not mandatory. But ESS is
required. However this functionality is developed to be available 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 requests with 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) info type.
12.
The system may not be able to post the requests to the info types if, for
example, they collide with other info type 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 back end system.
16.
If he or she can solve the cause of the problem and save the data record in the
info type, 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)
