Adding a box in Portal for Performance appraisal template

Dear Experts,
We have already released a performance appraisal template and its in production use for a while now.
Now, client wants to add 1 box titled 'Managers comment'. Since its already released template I cant make changes in it and add a criteria in the form of 'Managers Comment'. What is the solution? Is there a way by which we can make this box appear in portal through coding? This change is required in a template which is in use. We cant create a new template.
I know there is a note to make changes to released appraisal template but as its risky I dont want to use it.
Please advise.

you cant make changes to released template, if you do also, new changes wont be shown
Please refer the note 888650
and do the steps as indicated in order to cancel already released one

  • Interactive Adobe form for performance appraisal

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to create Interactive Adobe Form for Performance appraisal? I understand that the appraisal template varies company to company.Does it affect the Form? Can we update the infotype 0025 ( Appraisals where appraisee /Appraisals where appraiser tab) ? Please advice on this.

    Hi,
    We had the same question sometime back. This is what we found
    1. Users will not finish Performance Apprisal document in one session, they will complete partially and then comback another day to complete it.
    2. IT25 is not like normal infotype, it might be challenging to update it with BAPI/RFCs.
    These two issues stopped us from doing Adobe interactive forms (PCR like) for Performance apprisal.

  • BSP Performance Appraisal Form PDF Generation

    Hi all,
                 I need to find out how the standard SAP Performance Appraisal template generates the PDF format of this BSP page. Does anyone have any idea how and where this generation of this PDF file is done?

    Hi Geva,
    please remember that I am by no means certain that this is how the Performance Appraisal form you mention works. This is just an example of how I have dome this in the past.
    Think of BSP as a delivery mechanism for SmartForm output. SmartForm output can be in different formats including HTML and PDF.
    Once you have executed the SmartForm and have the output in the correct format you then just need to populate the HTTP response object. Something like this example for PDF.
    * Conversion of output format OTF into PDF format
    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
         EXPORTING
              format = 'PDF'
         IMPORTING
              bin_filesize = l_pdf_len
              bin_file = l_pdf_xstring " binary file
         TABLES
              otf = ls_output_data-otfdata
              lines = lt_lines
         EXCEPTIONS
              err_max_linewidth = 1
              err_format = 2
              err_conv_not_possible = 3
              err_bad_otf = 4
              OTHERS = 5.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    * error handling
    ENDIF.
    * Fill HTTP response
    response->set_header_field( name = 'content-type' value = 'application/pdf' ).
    * some Browsers have caching problems when loading PDF format
    response->set_header_field( name = 'cache-control' value = 'max-age=0' ).
    * display PDF format in Browser
    l_pdf_len = XSTRLEN( l_pdf_xstring ).
    response->set_data( data = l_pdf_xstring length = l_pdf_len ).
    navigation->response_complete( ).

  • Performance Appraisal-Issue with Restrcited template

    Hello
    I am trying to prepare appraisal document via tcode PHAP_PREPARE_PA. The system proposes three options:
    - Prepare Appraisal Docs with Template, Appraiser, Appraisee
    - Prepare Appraisal Docs with Organizational Units
    - Prepare Appraisal Docs with Restricted Templates
    Questions:
    Q1 What is the difference between 2 and 3 above?
    Q2 Is there any documentation that explains each option in detail?
    Q3 Is there a place where we configure the evaluation path each option takes?
    Q4 When I use the option "Prepare Appraisal Docs with Restricted Templates" and select the org unit/appraisal template, I get the following message:
    Object 01 VA 99912314 not found

  • Transporting Appraisal Template

    Hi
    I have created the New Appraisal Template for 2015 review in Dev. Now i need to transport the Apparisal template into QA system. Do i need to create the transport for Category as well or directly i can create the transport for Apparisal template?
    Thanks,
    Umesh Sharma

    HI Umesh,
    The below should work.
    IMG>>Personnel Management>>Personnel Development>>Objective Setting and Appraisals>>Transport Template and Dependent Configuration Data
    Tcode: PHAP_TRANSPORT.
    Enter the Appraisal Template ... include the Category, if required and provide the TR.
    Once you execute, you will get list of all Appraisal elements (VA, VB, VC), choose required ones, and include them in the TR.
    Please click on the 'i' button to read more about this report (Courtesy: SAP documentation).
    With this program, you can transport all of the related objects and their related data to another system (such as a live system or client) for an appraisal template (object type VA) or appraisal process ((flexible appraisal process or predefined Performance Management process); (process element object type VH)).
    Hope this helps..

  • Configuring Appraisal template to ESS/MSS

    Hi Friends,
    I have created a appraisal template. But I am not able to see it in either MSS or in ESS.
    How to configure the appraisal template is for which Managers and to which employee group/sub group
    Thanks
    Vimal

    Hi Vimal,
    If you are using EHP1 to EHP3 then for appraisals we dont have a standard iView available in ESS MSS. From EHP4 SAP has provided a standard iView for appraisal.
    EHP1- EHP4- Supports BSP applications and EHP4 is on Webdynpro applications
    For EHP-EHP3, you can access the appraisal docuemnt on portal by:
    Goto SE80-> Select BSP Application-> Select HAP_DOCUMENT -> Right Click and Click on Test.
    You will get a window showing list of BSP applications available for appraisal template/ Document to be viewd on portal.
    For Employee use: received_open3.htm
    For MAnager use: todo.htm
    for Further participants use: where_participated.htm
    For EHP4, appraisal templates will be available in the stadrad iView
    Thanks!

  • Appraisal Template-Cancel Release

    Hi All
    Please suggest for the following.....
    I created an Appraisal Template in PHAP_CATALOG.
    Then I released it & created some Appraisal Documents. Now I want to make some changes in the Template but for that I have to cancel the Release first.
    So, I deleted all the Appraisal Documents using PHAP_ADMIN.
    But, now when I try to cancel the release system doesnt allow me & throws the following error.....
    ''The element you have chosen is already being used in an appraisal document or anonymous appraisal.''
    Although I have deleted all the Appraisal Documents using PHAP_ADMIN.
    Please Suggest
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Garry
    Yes, you are absolutely correct even though there are no appraisal documents existing for an appraisal template at times system gives this error message, i think there is some problem with the standard SAP itself.  I have also faced this issue and for testing purpose i have used a custom deletion program which would delete the documents from the database directly (RHHAP_DISPLAY_DB), I was not bothered to create an OSS message since this scenario is not a PRD scenario.
    Try creating a OSS msg for this issue.

  • Appraisal template for performance management plan

    Hi, I can see my performance management plans in the table per_perf_mgmt_plans. But in this table I can't see the appraisal template that is linked to the plan. Is there any table or view which shows this?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the answer but I actually would like to see it in a database table. In the per_perf_mgmt_plans table there is no mention of the appraisal template. Is there a table or view I can find this link between the plan and the appraisal template? Thanks

  • How to set a performance appraisal doc to approved status in portal

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a new appraisal document where once the document is marked 'complete' it is then allowed to be marked approved.  I have configured the status flow tab to allow the pushbutton "approve" with a target status of "approved" to be used from the status of "completed".  I have even set the person authorized field to "all users" for my testing.  From the BSP pages on the portal I can mark the document complete as the appraiser, but then when the "approve" pushbutton appears it is all greyed out.  I currently have it set to 'save and display' to see that.  If I use 'save and exit' it is even removing the document from the TODO page for the appraiser.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to allow the appraiser to use this status button in portal?  If I log-in as the appraiser in the GUI they do however have the approve button on phap_admin_pa.

    Hi,
    I don't think anyone is holding back knowledge, I think it's sometimes difficult to filter out "good" questions as opposed to "bad" questions...
    In any case, I don't think it's possible to have different default templates, eg one for the portal and one for the "rest". I'm afraid you'll have to either change each one on the portal or use one for all.
    Cheers,
    Dion
