HR ESS

[Joanna Couto]

Hi, John,
You're right, you need communication infotype 105 set up for HR master,
personnel numbers to receive WIs, including travel expense for ESS
workflow.
This workflow sends WI's to the recipient's SAP R/3 inbox, and in ESS you
see a reflection of the user's SAP R/3 inbox WIs.
The recipient must have an SAP userid to use SAP's delivered ESS travel
workflow the way it is. (Unless you are developing a custom workflow.)
 
When creating infotype 105, the SAP userid technically does not need to
exist at that point, since infotype 105 does not verify that the SAP userid
exists.
But, when the workflow executes, if that SAP userid does not exist, the WI
will not go to the recipient's SAP R/3 inbox; this is a problem.
If the WI is not in the recipient's SAP R/3 inbox, then ESS will not be
able to see a reflection of it, and so this WI would not appear in ESS
either.
 
Then the SAP user would need to be a registered SAP user.
I am not sure how the license is calculated now (casual users, vs. frequent
users, etc.), may depend on your specific contract.
I hope this helps.  Have a nice day.

Hi all
 
Could someone please help with the following questions. Soon to be
implementing the ESS system, with workflow for Travel Expenses,
 
I believe that the ESS user name is maintained in the comms info type of
the HR master record, does the workflow send WI's to the ESS user inbox? or
has there to be a SAP user ID also defined?
Has the ESS user to be a registered SAP user, how is the SAP license
calculated?
 
 Many thanks John
