Know How: SAP Manager Self Service and Launchpad
2. October 2011 | 
Author Problem
Managerial reports in SAP Manager Self Service can only be properly displayed within the Manager Self Service Launchpad. Calling the reports directly does not provide a feasible solution as the manager can then see all the employees in the value help while he or she should just see the subordinates. Preferable would be a design like in Employee Self Service, where you can use the SAP Homepage Framework.
Solution
In a PoC, I have used the homepage framework to launch several instances of the Launchpad, grouped by Homepage Framework Areas. Even though SAP says you can have only one launchpad there are ways to achieve multiple instances. So the new flow is: Enter MSS though Homepage Framework (same customizing as in SAP ESS), provide some areas with links to portal pages carrying different launchpads (pass different “scenario” keys within the iViews) and start the reports from there.
For the solution, there is no modification necessary, just a domain append to the MSS scenario datatype. Give it a try, MSS will be much prettier that way. And still SAP standard.

With the new Employee Self Service and Manager Self Service, a lot of new features have been deployed. Be it the Power Worklist (POWL), the Shop Floor within the portal or the report launchpad: Detailed experience is needed to see what can and what cannot be done without modifications. I am offering consulting for customizing ESS and MSS features and bringing them into the portal in the desired way.

As I am also teaching at the Vienna University of Technology and need to teach all the business processes within ERP systems, I do have a very broad knowledge about the SAP modules and their links.

Furthermore, during my time at SIS, I have seen quite a few large BW installations and know how to deal with high data volume.

SAP Portal Consulting
The offering
SAP Portal is intended as the bridge between the static ERP interface and the modern internet world. With new solutions like AJAX support and loads of new features, SAP Portal releases tend to hit the trend, but they get more complex as well.
My portal offering ranges from the concept and the methodology up to content specification and creation. Through my experiences in HR and BW, the most used integration topics are part of the show. As I also know some competitor’s solutions quite well, I can also provide some strategic input on a platform decision.
Why me?
My first portal project was in 2003 and I have been consulting SAP Portals ever since. I am experienced in performance aspects, architecture as well as worldwide installations (50 – 30.000 end users) on all platforms. Project roles range from developer to project lead and durations from several days to nine months. Furthermore, I am also proficient in surrounding technologies like firewalls, load balancing and SSL acceleration.
