SAP Fiori Leave Request Attachments

[rakshit_doshi]

Dear Experts,

I am aware that we can extend the Standard Fiori Application to add/hide the fields returned from the OData Model but is it possible to extend Fiori My Leave Request application to support adding attachments as well.

I couldnt see anything on it on the App Extensibility option on the help.sap.com website for Application Implementation.

Any insights on this.

Thanks,

Rakshit Doshi

Dear Pankaj,

I installed the new patch but it didnt show any attachment option though there was a method present for it.

Do you mean we need to extend the UI for it?

Thanks,

Hi Rakshit,

You do not need to extend for attachment.

What EhP do you have?

Its only available with GBX01HR add on component?

Does the level type has attachment option in the ECC system?

Dear Pankaj,

We are running EHP7 for ECC 6.0.

We even install the GBX01HR component and the GBX01HR5 component but i dnt see any thing on the UI for Attachments.

Is it possible for you to share the screenshot of the UI screen. The only change i saw in the UI was there was an Approvers field coming but no attachment screen.

Thanks,

Hi Rakshit,

Apologies for the typo. Does the Leave Type has attachment option in the ECC system?

best Regards

Pankaj

[rakshit_doshi · Accepted solution]

Dear Pankaj,

Yes its allowed.

Anyways should it matter atleast for the UI it has to remain the same i suppose.

Can you pleaase advice on that?

thanks,

Rakshit Doshi

[pankaj_bisht · Accepted solution]

It matters. If the Leave Type does not support attachments or attachments is not enabled the UI will not show the attachments.

We had to maintain it in backend.

Hi Rakshit,

We have option to view attachments in the V2 app.

It will come as an Icon Tab Header in the details section.

Dear Pankaj,

We are not able to see anything as attachment neither in history of my leave request or in the approve leave request of manager

Please see the screenshot

On the Approve Leave Request there is no attachment icon

Is anything to be done on the backend for this??

Thanks,

P.S there are some manual corrections required to be applied to the notes

Hi Rakshit,

After a lot of research and a few hassles I have just completed this task, the biggest issue I had was the modifying the UI5 side as the SAP fileuploader control doesn't play nice with SAP GW and you will read this in blogs posted up in the UI5 community so I implemented the HTML fileuploader control  (<input type="file" />) and applied the UI5 Styles to it.

As for saving the file, we decided to attach the file to the workflow upon a successful creation of a leave request this way.

There are two main things you will need to do:

1. Modify the LR Odata service, or create a new one.

• Navigate to SEGW
• Create a new Entity Set for the attachment
• Implement Create / Get Stream methods for the entity set - use your logic here to store / retrieve the attachment

2. Modify the UI

• Extend the UI of the FIORI LR app
• Add the Fileuploader control to the desired location
• post the file to the new / updated odata service.

Hope this helped.

And to add to the above point. To extend the app for attachments you would need to extend the service by addinng a DDIC strcuture and mapping to the newly created Entity and then write the code in the extended DPC class and in the UI you would need to have a field for taking attachments as input.

Hello,

We are trying to enhance the standard Approve Travel Expense fiori application. As of now the travel receipts are uploaded through PR05 and as well trough a mobile app. The receipts will be stored in Sap database/application server.  But my client wants it to be stored on different archive server. Also the receipts to be retrieved from that server into the fiori app..

Now my concern is, is it possible to change the retrieving functionality from sap server to a different archiving server.

Your help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Siva Krishna
