Employee data is one of the most requested data across the organization and systems. The consumer systems are not only limited to Payroll, benefits and time management but also extend to core ERP, CRM, SRM IDM and GRC etc. We always strives to provide the complete HR data to disparate systems via our powerful APIs.
You can find details of of our existing ODATA APIs here. Apart from core personal and employment information we also have extensive APIs for extracting workflow information. It is already possible to extract the details regarding existing workflows in EC including status and steps using wfRequest and EmpWFRequest entity. It is also possible to take multiple actions on workflow including approval and rejection via existing function imports.
The missing link for workflow in case of EC person and employment entities is the pending data in a workflow which is not yet approved/rejected. In b1711 we have provided an Beta API to extract this pending data. This feature has been requested by multiple customers and partners especially for UI extension usecase. This API will allow you to read workflow for following entities
Hi Naresh, it seems the getWorkflowPendingData API is now officially supported. The ODATA return value looks a bit different, It now returns additional properties like entityName and fieldName. Is there any official API documentation available? Is it possible to translate some properties, e.g. for title and fieldName?
can we take actions on workflow including approval and rejection without function imports. I'm trying to approve the requests in CPI with one common user , It does not allow any other user to approve the request apart from who is responsible to take actions .Please let me know if there is a way how we can approve the request using POST operation .
