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></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana color=blue size=2><SPAN
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></P>

information regarding workflow reporting. My name is Andy Escanuela and I
am the HRIS manager at Safety-Kleen systems in Dallas Texas. 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></P>
