Appraisal Document : POWL Setting

Hi Expert,
We have used POWL to Display Appraisal Document for Employee /Manager.But Employee/Manager go in repective tab all the columns are visible which are not relevant to EMP/Manager Like Plan Version,Appraisal Doc Id,offline Status.
I just want to do Default setting of Powl Column which is visible to all the user wheather he is Employee or Manager?
Please provide ne some solution. ?
Regards,
Mahesh

The code enhancement is done in the respective POWL feeder class interface-Method GET_FIELD_CATALOG. You have to define the column to hide as a technical column (e.g.ls_fieldcat-technical_col = 'X' ). To avoid modifications use the enhancement framework to add source code in a POST-Method-Implementation for method GET_FIELD_CATALOG.This is a relatively easy change and would take approximately 15 minutes if you know the name of the column and feeder class.

Appraisal Documents POWL in ESS

Hi all,
I have a query regarding the possibility of creating document through ESS POWL not MSS, in MSS there is a create button to allow creation of document however this button is not available for ESS, in our process the employee will initiate a document and prepare it hence send it to his manager for approval.
Is it possible that this scenarion is not supported within the Flexible Performance Management framewok.
Regards,

Many customers do not like to leave this responsibility on the user - to create the appraisal themselves. They create it in advance, possibly in a status/substatus that is only editable by the appraisee.
If you want to allow the ess users to create appraisals for themselves, either
create your own POWL query, with own class to implement in POWL the create document button (as the MSS POWL Query has it, you'll need to enhance the standard ABAP WD Application to take other POWL ID)
or
enhance the standard SAP delivered POWL Class (faster but less clean in my opinion).

Set No to tray options in iview for appraisal document

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to disable all tray options for appraisal document (flexible solution). I have disabled all option in iview and page, but tray option are still there.
I've made the same thing for another iviews and worked. Do you have any idea of what could it be?
Thanks and best regards,
Vasco Brandã

Hi Vasco,
One possibility could be your change to the original iView may not have been reflected to the delta link. This could be because you might have changed the same property in the delta link and now that property would no longer inherit from the parent. If that indeed is the case, try you can either reset the delta link and change the property in the parent link OR change the property in the delta link.
Hope it helps,

How to trigger follow up processing actions in appraisal documents?

Hi gurus,
We are customizing the performance management process using Objective Settings and Appraisals (ECC 6.0; Enh.Pack 4, ESS/MSS with business pack 1.41) and we have customized the evaluation templates (transaction PHAP_CATALOG_PA) with the enhancement "Follow-Up Proc. (Background) - Adjust Qualific. (Start Date)" in Follow-up Processing section of the Processing tab, at template level (VA object).
The system functions is ok, and the cualification appears in the employee profile (transaction PPPM) correctly after the performance management especialist trigger it using the admin report (transaction PHAP_ADMIN_PA).
My question is: Is there anyway to automatically trigger the follow-up processing after the appraisal document is finished? Do we need to develop in ABAP a new implementation of some BADI?
Thanks in advance!

Followup processes are started as soon as the document goes from status 1-4 to 5 (completed).
Do you mean ALL available follow-up processes should be started as soon as status is set to "competed"?
That's not what happens for our (custom) appraisal: follow-up process(es) are not started when the status becomes "completed", neither from the backend nor the portal. We always have to manually launch the follow-up process from the phap_admin transaction, and select the ones we want to be done.
In phap_catalog, we have a couple of follow-up processes that are selected in the "Processing" tab.
when the approval process is activated (infty 5025) and or status 6,7,8,9 are selected then the follow up process only takes place after status change to close approved.
Even when setting the status to "closed approved", no follow-up process is started.
Any suggestion? Isn't there a setting somewhere that should be set in order for the follow-up prpcesses to be automatically started when the status is set to "completed"?

How to change Font size and alignment in Appraisal document - Font settings

Dear Eperts,
We are working on 360 Appraisal. Can Any body explain how to change the fornt size and allignment (text wrapping to wndow size) in Appraisal document.
Thanks and Regards,
Ajaykumar

Hello Ajaykumar,
if I am not completely mistaking the 360° Appraisal uses the Adobe Forms.
In this case the font can be set in the Adobe Live Cycle Designer by selecting "Palettes" -> "Font".
Here is a discussion which addresses this question, and also contains a link to how to handle Adobe Forms:

Shortdump while accessing Appraisal document in portal-Null obj ref.not pos

Hi all,
We are implementing Performance Management in Ehp4 with EP 7.1, flexible template   We have been facing an issue where in Portal while we are trying to click on Appraisal document either in ESS or MSS, it dos not open anything instead we are getting
short dump error in ST22. We have performed the portal and ESS setup as per the SAP recommended notes.
1272076 - Appraisal Nav
1408243 - OBN
1416756 - OBN Confi
1463821 - Portal confi
1458466 - Launchpad config
The short dump error analysis as follows.
Short text
    Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL', was not
   caught in
procedure "READ_ATTR_ALL_FOR_CASETYP" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a
   RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to use a 'NULL' object reference (points to 'nothing')
access a component (variable: "LO_CASE_CUST").
An object reference must point to an object (an instance of a class)
before it can be used to access components.
Either the reference was never set or it was set to 'NULL' using the
CLEAR statement.
Just wondering if any one of you came across this issue. I have put external break point at main appraisal component
HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT and class CL_HAP_WD_DOCUMENT_UI. But it didn't go through. I think because this abap dynpro not being called due to url issue and thus dump says null pointer exception.
Appreciate your response and I Look forward your insights.

Appraisal Documents (WD UI) open the same page in the pop up browser.

Hi Expert,
    I am using the business package for Appraisal Documents. I got some problem on navigate to the new browser.
   When the user click on a link in 'Appraisal Documents (WD UI)' in should open a new pop up for Appraisal Document(HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT), but It open Appraisal Documents (WD UI) again in the new pop up browser.
   I am not sure whether i did it correct or not. Below is the step that i did.
- Copy Appraisal Documents (WD UI) page and Appraisal Document'(HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT) to the folder.
- Change system alias for pages.
- Add Appraisal Document (WD UI) operation of Employee Business object to Appraisal Documents (WD UI) page.
- Assign them to the role.
Could you please suggest. If you have a document about using the page from business package please provide me
Thank you in advance,
Noppong Jinbunluphol.

we kindly recommend you to re-check note 1600380 paying attention to
point 1.2 which deals with the relevant configuration to ESS for
flexible process.
please notice per default role delivery two services two roles for
Performance Management will be displayed. Both services are named
Appraisal documents. The difference is that one service is for the
Predefined Management Process employee access, the other one for the
configurable/flexible Performance Management employee access. The ESS
business package is set up in a way that all services/iviews are in
default role delivery available and customer can choose which one to
leave in (This is different to MSS where there is an standard role
delivery and a hidden iview delivery. There the customer can choose
whether or not to remove existing iviews in standard role delivery or if
the ones which are hidden shall be made visible in the role).

Change mode for 'further participant;' in appraisal document

hi!
My goal is to change HAP_DOCUMENT BSP to allow Further Participants(FP) to change goal setting and appraisal documents.
for this i am changing the page document.where.participated.htm to enable the FP to change document(employee columns ONLY (objectives, checkboxes, employee assessment))for this i redirected the next page to 'change documnet'. Now i am able to change the appraisal document when i login as a further participant and if i am both the appraiser and apparisee. For the appraiser documents for which i am not the appraiser and appraisee, i am not able to change the fields in the document. I did some reasearch on this and came to know that some badis need to be used for this functionality.
Please advice If anyone came across such scenario.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thank you

It's Strange. Where you have impleneted the Col Access Code..in the BADI / in ur BSP Page itself?
The objective Settings also can be controlled by COL_ACCESS BADI.Find out the name of the columns in HRHRAP* Tables & change the visibility.

Appraisal Document Error in ERP6 EHP6 and Portal 7.3

Dear All,
I am on ECC6 EHP6 and Portal 7.3 and using WDA ESS and MSS business packages. I have gone through all the below notes:
1600380 - Appraisal Document does not open in portal
1468466 Performance Management Launchpad Configuration
1463821 Performance Management Portal Configuration
1416756 OBN Configuration in Performance Management

I am getting the attached error while accessing Appraisal Document in Portal. Also when checked in SE80 its giving the same error.
Kindly help.
Thank you,
Regards,
Disha.

Hello disha,
This issue (Error in Calling Up Application) is a common issue and SAP Note 1600380 was created to address this.
1) Keep in mind your custom environment, please pay attention to the following comment in the Note:
"Note: this document has been created based on standard ESS and MSS roles. If you have copied the standard content to customer specific roles you will have to adapt them accordingly."
2) Remember to test each role independently, this is because OBN will resolve with the first available navigation found:
"Recommendations: in order to set up the navigation it is better that you first solve it independently for each role. So first just assign the ESS role to your user and Content Administration role. Once it is working, proceed with MSS role (in that case remove ESS role and
assign MSS plus Content Admin)."
3) After checking all the customizing, please pay special attention to the "further checks" section:
   3.1)
   "Check note 1352104 - OBN action's Business Parameters don't reach AI' is implemented. This note corrects an issue with parameters not correctly passed in POST."
   In order to check this, go through your ComponentInfo Page and check the version of your EP-PSERV component. For instance:
EP-PSERV 7.01 SP3 (1000.7.01.3.1.20090302142421)
This is the patch level:        ^
So, in this case you would have:
EP-PSERV: 7.01
SP: 3
Patch level: 1
The problem for the non-working OBN link, could be a mixed protoco between the portal and the WDA backend system (WebAs). The Object Based Navigation framework, among other things, is based on Java Script, hence it needs that the portal and backend will have the same protocol and the same domain. Please check note 945516 - Web Dynpro ABA in a portal environment.

In this moment I have the following doubt:
We have the following scenary. In the company exist severals employess that evaluate to other employee. They are not boss. Only have the work of evaluate to some employees.

Hi Maurice.
We are using WD ABAP for PM.
My scenary is the following:
Employee 00000001
Employee 00000002
Boss = 00000003
The employee 00000002 not is boss. But the company have a process for that some employee can evaluate to ther employee.
Employee 00000002 evaluate to employee 00000001.
In the sctructure the boss of the employee 00000001 is 00000003.
The employee 00000002 is written in the document as appraiser.
We assigned the role of MSS for the employee 00000002, however in the MSS the list of Appraisal Document not appear in the POWL of this service.

Extending Validity Period In Assigned Appraisal Documents ???

Dear Experts,
Appraisal Documents is assigned to Employee via Appcreate, where we have provided some validity period and Execution period of Documents .
Now requirement is to extend END Date of Validity and execution period .
For Ex :
Start date : 01.01.2014
End Date : 31.06.2014
Now Appraisal Period is over and appraisal document is freezed .
Is there any way We can Extend that Appraisal Period from 31.06.2014 to 31.08.2014 ???
I was trying PHAP_ADMIN_PA, where we can click on CHANGE HEADER DATES and can change Dates and other fields but that is possible before Ending of Appraisal Document .
Now I am getting Error : latest appraisal date must occur after the current date .
Is this Possible to do ?
Is there any table or configuration or enhancements where we can Extend Dates of Freezed Appraisal Documents ??
Its a needful thing to do..
Please help me out for way forward .
Regards,
Pran

Hi Pran,
Yes, your request can be done by PHAP_ADMIN_PA (not by PHAP_CHANGE, as was suggested here).
The reason you got that error message is that you have tried to set the execution end-date earlier than the current date, and that makes no sense.
As you may know, the execution period determines the period in which the appraisers will be able to enter the appraisal document the perform the appraisal (edit the document). if you set it to a period in the past, what will you gain by doing it?
Just fix the execution period.

Liran
