style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Some of the reports
that have been requested from workflow are how much time has passed between the
time the form was submitted and the time that the actual form has been approved?
Is there a way to pull a report that reflects how many forms are waiting
for approval in a specific approver’s workflow inbox? How many forms has a
specific approver rejected, approved, sent back to applicant? The only
information we can currently extract is “at what point of the approval process
is the form at”. We use SWI6 to figure this out, but for this we need to
know the person who submitted the form or the date it was submitted. I
would like to use the same functionality as SWI6 with the date functionality,
but instead of just receiving name of forms and dates I would also like to
include the user name of the person who submitted. Does this make
sense?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">We’re also
implementing the PCRs through MSS. Unfortunately, SAP does not deliver a
good way to report on HR notifications. What we have done is customized
the workflow to save the notification number, scenario, and other relevant
information in a custom infotype. We then built a custom report based on
this infotype. Using the notification number, you can call function
ISR_SPECIAL_DATA_GET to pull back all the relevant information from the PCR
form.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">The big problem is
reporting on the PCR’s current position in the workflow. Unfortunately,
the notification number doesn’t help too much in this regard. If you know
the approximate date and time it was created and by whom, you can use SWI1,
however our HR users were nonplussed (to say the least) about this tool.
So, I’m in the process of incorporating some of this information into the report
as well, ie, who’s inbox is the PCR in, etc.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>

We just went live with Manager’s Self Service in 03/05 and are currently
looking to run some reports for workflow administration. The only
transactions I have been told to utilize are swi2_freq and swi2_dura. The
problem is that the reporting fields look like jibberish to me. I am
looking to report on notification numbers out of SAP Portal (i.e. – Notification
number, submiteed by, name of PCR, etc.) I was wondering if you had any
experience on reporting for HR workflow?</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P>
