SAP Customizing
Since the Business Integration Apps get use of the SAP customizing settings for leave requests and leave approvals some configurations have to be made on SAP side:
- Organizational management for building teams and assign managers for approval
- Time quotas for quota deduction
- Customized absence types
- Service specific settings about absence requests, team calendar and working time accounts
- ESS user with appropriate authorization roles
- Linked ESS user to a personell number (maintained in Infotype 0105)
- Functioning approval workflow
In principle many SAP standard settings can be used as customizing, e.g. in standard a functioning approval workflow should be available. The effort required to get the app running is therefore at a manageable level.
Installing the SAP transport
The SAP transport request must be installed in SAP. Find more information about the installation of the transport request in the knowledge base of Theobald Software.
Installation of the solution package using the installer
Execute files Theobald.LeaveRequest.exe and Theobald.LeaveRequestManager.exe and follow the installation routine. The SharePoint WSP-packages will be automatically deployed to your SharePoint server and the features will be activated.

On a newly created SharePoint page click Edit -> Insert -> Web Part. Under Categories -> Theobald select the Web Part Theobald Leave Request/ Theobald Leave Request Manager and click Add.
