Error messages in ESS Leave application

Hi friends,

Leave is one of the most commonly used application in ESS.
Standard error messages in ESS Leave application are too technical and average user finds it tough to understand. It is very important to review different error, warning and information messages and make changes to them to make them user friendly.

There are two options.

Option 1: This is the easiest option.

Personnel Management -> Employee Self-Service->Service specific Settings->Working Time -> Leave Request -> Processing Processes-> Configure Output of messages
Here you need to mention the message class, message type and message number of the SAP standard message. Next you need to mention the intended behavior in next columns. If you want to suppress the error message completely, click the check box "Do not show message". Else if you want to show a warning message instead of a error message, you can enter message type and needed custom message class and numbers as well.

Example: In the below example, "Payroll are IN locked" error message is suppressed. (Error message is in German)





Option 2. : If you need complex changes, you can use Enhancement Spot (SE18)
PT_GEN_REQ, method MODIFY_APPLICATION_MESSAGES
Note that only one implementation of this Enhancement Spot is possible. Hence check for existing implementation of the Enhancement Spot in your system.
