ESS Record Working Time .. Restrict Time Entry with Relative limit

[Former Member]

Hi SDN Users,

We are using ERP 2005 and EP 7.0 with webdynpro java ESS applications for Time, Travel and Personal Information.

In the ESS Record Working Time application, a user can scroll to any date he wants in the past or in the future and record/edit working times. The application does not take into consideration the setting made in the time entry profile for relative limit.

Please suggest the best way I can include this in the webdynpro application for Record Working Time. (in other words I would like to restrict the users to NOT be able to scroll before and later than 1 week from the current week).

Can this be achieved by modifying any ABAP program / BADI / User Exit (OR)

Would this require Webdynpro Code changes ?

Please suggest some changes if any one has gone through a similar requirement.

Thank You,

Hello Salome ,

You can use the following way out for this :

Lets say you want to allow one week before Begda , rest entries not allowed .

1. VcCatRecordentry View - make a method called dateValid(); this would return true / flase

we can get begda and endda.

wdcontext.currentcontextelement.gettimesheetBegda();

wdcontext.currentcontextelement.gettimesheetendda();

Date sysDate = new Date(Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis());

int sysDay = sysDate.getDay();

2. Instantiate the Calendar Calendar c1 = new GregorianCalendar();

3. c1.add(c1.DATE,-7);

Date dt_end = c1.getTime();

now compare the dt_end to begda if it return >0

then in on action navigation nxt - report exception

this would work , since I did the same and it worked absolutely well for me .
