Competencies and Qualifications...

Hi,
Can any body give some help to understand the below concepts:
1) What are meaning of terms:- "Qualifications / Competencies / Skills / Criterion / Criteria / Criteria group"?
2) What is the relationship or differences between these terms?
3) How they come to use in Personnel development and Appraisals (OSA)?
4) What is their order / dependency in configuration?
Please kindly provide me the info to distinguish the difference between these terms (concepts).
Many Thanks
Raj

Hi Raj,
1) What are meaning of terms:- "Qualifications / Competencies / Skills / Criterion / Criteria / Criteria group"?
Qualification and competency terms refer to the same thing and can be used interchangably.
Qualifications -conceptually- are knowledge, skills and abilities (of a personnel/applicant or a requirement for a job/vacancy)
Criteria groups are used to group the criteria -that are the basis for appraisal- under appraisal catalog.
Criteria is nothing but the plural form of criterion.
2) What is the relationship or differences between these terms?
Skills are some small group of qualifications.
3) How they come to use in Personnel development and Appraisals (OSA)?
First qualification catalog (via OOQA) and Appraisal catalog (via OOAM) are maintained.
Then they are assigned to personnel/applicant/job/position (one of many ways is PPPM)
Another usage of Qualifications is that they can be set as Criteria .
4) What is their order / dependency in configuration?
First develop the catalogs.
Then make the assignments to personnel/applicant/job/position, etc.

Link Job and Qualifications in LSMW

Hello!
I'm trying to link automatically (in LSMW) Jobs and qualifications (with Proficiencies). But:
- pppm doesn't work in LSMW
- pp01, pp02 doesn't allow to link jobs and qualifications ("cannot be mainained via basic transaction")
Has anyone got a clue plz?
Thanks,
Cyrielle

Hi,
indeed this is a tricky one.
Best way to approach (I've done it several times so I'm guaranteeing that it will work) is the following:
In IMG, change the details of the specific relationship in such a way that it can be maintained vía 'Basic Transaction'
Unfortunately I've no SAP-connection at the moment to guide you to the correct IMG - step but it's somewhere in IMG under Org. Mgmtn (Allowed relationships, I think but can't be 100% sure)
After changing the setting in IMG, you will be able to create the requested relationship via PP02, which will allow you to record the LSMW
Of course, test the whole thing in DEV and QA
When everything is okay, transport to PROD and perform upload in PROD
after completing the load, change the 'maintenance' - setting of the relationship back to the original value and transport to PROD
And your job is done!

Can an educational institution that is not accredited use these wonderful tools? I would hope Apple makes this approval process as individual for the educational institutions as they are for the individual student's learn needs and qualifications.ing

I would hope Apple makes this iTunes U approval process as individual for the educational institutions as they are for the individual student's learn needs and qualifications. Can an educational institution that is not accredited use these wonderful tools?

I see that Common Sense Meda offers courses. I don't believe they are an accredited educational institution. Approval may be on a case by case basis so Apple can control the experience. I hope it's open.
I'm more concerned that Apple is excluding accredited educational institutions in many countries.

Business Partners and Qualifications

My customer is intending to use Business Partners (BUP003 - Employee) to represent resources in the MRS (Multi Resource Scheduling) application. My challenge is that I am unable to assign a qualification to a Business Partner (BUP003) using transaction PPPM. I get a message saying "Unable to display a profile for object 'BP'." What is strange about this is that I can assign a qualification to a Business Partner in my company system but not the customer. So far I have been unable to figure out what the difference is between the two systems that might be impacting on this.
The other strange thing I have come across is that in one of the customer systems I can search and display a list of Business Partners but in another, when I search, I get a message telling me that "the search has not produced any hits". In the system "with no hits" I can see the BP record and I can assign it to a Position so I know it's there, I just can't display in in the list. Weird...
I'm a PM/MM person with little Business Partner experience so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
In table T778V, for relationship 032, click on Allowed Relationships on the left hand panel under Links. You will have to uncheck the values in column Not maint. against BP with Q and Q with BP. This will then allow you to maintain qualifications for relationship 032 using transaction PP01/PP02, not PPPM.

Categorization schema and Qualification catalog

Hi,
I have to create a categorization schema and then a new category. I tried following post on SDN:
How to use the 4 level Categorisation Schema
Bit I could not understand why and how this schema is created in CRM 7.0. They speak about some category hierarchy in this post but where it appears on WebUI?
Same doubt is with Qualification catalog. Why and how it is created in CRM 7.0?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Shikha

Hello,
Regarding your questions concerning categorization, here are a few hints:
1) Why ? If you need any of the provided functionnalities described in the following online help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/48/bbe9add6b3356be10000000a421937/frameset.htm
2) How ? I don't think you will find any better explanation and step-by-step procedure than in the thread you've mentioned. So if you are facing any issue, kindly be more specific.
3) Where ? Service ticket creation screen, interaction record, case management, etc.
I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with "qualification catalog".

Export business event and qualification catalogs to excel

Hi,
I want to either run a report to list all the qualifications in the qualification catalog and export to excel or somehow copy/export the qualifications directly from the qualification catalog to Excel. I would also like to do the same for the business event catalogue. We have the TEM (training and event management) module.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!
Regards,
Susan

Hi Susan,
For Qualification Catalog. Goto Tcode PPQD;
For Display Business Event Catalog. Goto Tcode PV0I:
Or go to the table as explained by praneeth,
For exporting to excel:
Goto menu bar--> System--> List--> Save--> Local File
Select spreadsheet in radio button. Click on tick. Save in the required path and name the file as required.

[Qualif.] Difference between object type 'Q' and infotype 0024

Hi,
For the xRPM 4.0 solution, we need to maintain skills for resources. There is a HCM integration functionality to import skills from a HR system to Business Partners (which - basically - represent users that can be staffed on a project in the xRPM solution).
Today, there is no skill management in our HR system.
There are 2 notions that look very similar to me :
- Infotype 0024 [Transaction PA20/PA30] : contains Qualifications of a user in PA (Personal Adminsitration) with the standard table T574A holding the possible values
- Organizational Structure (HRP1000/HRP1001) [transaction BP / PP* ?]: with the objects Qualifications 'Q' and Qualifications Group 'QK'
It seems taht the integration operates on the Organizational Structure. But we would like to assess both solutions.
What is the difference (pros&cons) between the 2 of them ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Guillaume

Guillaume GARCIA

To be precise, the way Infotype 24 behaves depends on whether integration between PA and PD is active. This is controlled by setting PLOGI QUALI in table T77S0. There are also other settings in this table that affect how quals work in an integrated scenario, you will find these in the QUALI XXXX section.
If integration is active, the qualifications are maintained in a catalogue via transaction OOQA. What you see in IT0024 are the object Q <--> P relationships as mentioned above once a qualification object has been assigned to the employee. This option has the advantages of being able to use the integrated objects in othe modules e.g. as prerequisites or imparted quals in the training module, skills/requirements matchup etc. The down side is that being PD objects, these are more difficult to report with SAP Query or Adhoc Query tools, but there are ways of doing it.
If integration is not active, the data is simple stored in PA table PA0024 and the quals themselves are set up via the IMG. The data really can't be used in any other module, but the reporting aspects are much easier with the standard query tools.

[EhP4][Qualifications] Central Person and PA30

Hi,
We switched on the Business Function CA_PA_CE_GE_QUALI that allows qualifications to be linked with the Central Person (and not the Person directly).
The report RHPE_CCE_CONVERT_RELATION migrates old relations (between Person and Qualifications) to the new model (between Central Person and Qualifications).
However, in PA20/PA30, the infotype 0024 does not reflect the changes!
Should we now only use the Portal to update qualifications??
Have we missed a switch of some kind in the customizing (the CE switch is on) ?
Thanks in advance for your help !
Best regards,
Guillaume

Hi,
There is a hard-coded switch you also need to "turn on".
It is located in the CL_HRCE_MASTERSWITCHES=>CHECK_RELEASED method.
For the time being, I simply created an implicit enhancement to set the attribute to true.
Also check the following OSS note : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1314503

Qualifications in Appraisal catalog

Hi,
1. Is it a good practice to add the qualifications in the appraisal catalog? or is it better to record appraisals and qualifications separately?
2. Assuming that qualifications are added in the appraisal, then i have got generic qualifications as well as job (or department) specific qualifications. (our qualifications are basically like competencies, e.g, Office administration-generic or applicant handling-job specific)
While i can add the generic competencies in the appraisal model, but because of the job specific competencies i would probally need to define a diffrent appraisal model for each dept. (PSG in my case). Is that the right approach?
3. Also, SAP allows to add a criteria under a qualification in the Appraisal Catalog. What is the purpose of this? Can someone please explain with an example? I would assume the qualification itself can be rated and there shouldn't be a need to add a criteria under it.
All comments appreciate (and rewarded with points)
Thanks

1. I think it is a good way to use qualifications in appraisal form. Because most of the firms' performance appraisal system is including a qualification part. When the qualifications are appraised in form the results of the final appraisal column can be added to appraisee's qualification infotype(0024) automatically. There will be no need to maintain the info type manually again.
2. You can customize the forms by using badis. If you use Free Enhancement - Add Requirements of Position and maintain the required links (such as every position must have an job and each job's requirements are defined.) you can see only the appraisee's job's requirements in the form.
Hope it will be useful for you.

SAP HCM Training and Event Management

I am setting up this functionality to track training records and show them as fulfilling qualification needs. From what I can understand from my research, you execute PV15 Follow up to create the history records and match to qualifications. However, I must be missing something because nothing is done. I enter the business event, select historically record business event and then click on data screen. I get the following:
Qualifications to be transferred
Attendee                       Qualification               Proficiency
No qualifications were found which could be transferred
Actions for attendances
Attendee                    Relationship                Business event/           Action
                                                        Business event type
No actions have been defined for attendees with regard to relationships
Other actions
Historically record business event
Confirmations of attendance: no automatic function has been defined
Yet I set up qualifications. Can you give me a direction or some resource to goto on this?

Hi,
You have to maintain relationship (valid period) called u201CImparts 028u201D between course type object D and qualification Q to be impetrated. As result in follow up process system will show you the qualification to be transferred to employee qualification master data pa0024.

How to edit a datagridview/textboxes using tableadapters in c# and sql

I am wondering what is the best way to edit a database that has multiple tables.
(Section 1) I have a Administration, Teacher and Student table that is linked up with the Person table which has a Primary Key.
The Person table consists of the general information of the person.
The Student table consists of information about the student; student ID and qualification code.
The Teacher table consists of information about the teacher; teacher ID, Reg No and password.
The Administration table consists of information about the admin; admin ID, Role and password.
As the Primary Key in the Person table is the ID, I have linked up with each of the other's table with their appropriate ID.
(Section 2) I have a Course and Qualification table that is linked up with the Student and Teacher table as well as each other.
The course table constists of the Course ID, Course Name ... and Teacher ID.
The Qualifications table consists of Qualification Code, Qualification Name and Duration.
There is a section where I have to create a view which shows just the Student ID, Course ID and has the Student's Marks in it.
I have got a combobox which then links up with the dgv(datagridview).
I have got insert and delete methods for both sections. Here is an example of the insert method into the Admin/Person table.
try
personTableAdapter.Insert(aFirstName.Text, aSurname.Text, Convert.ToDateTime(aDoB.Text), aPhone.Text, aAdd1.Text, aAdd2.Text, aSuburb.Text, aState.Text, aPostcode.Text, AdminType.Text);
administrationTableAdapter.Insert(Convert.ToInt32(aAID1.Text), aRole.Text, aPassword.Text);
MessageBox.Show(aFirstName.Text + " " + aSurname.Text + " has been added. Your ID is " + aAID1.Text);
this.personTableAdapter.Fill(this._30002195DataSet.Person);
this.administrationTableAdapter.Fill(this._30002195DataSet.Administration);
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
Here is an example of the delete method in the Admin/Person table.
try
personTableAdapter.Delete(Convert.ToInt32(aID.Text), aFirstName.Text, aSurname.Text, Convert.ToDateTime(aDoB.Text), aPhone.Text, aAdd1.Text, aAdd2.Text, aSuburb.Text, aState.Text, aPostcode.Text, AdminType.Text);
administrationTableAdapter.Delete(Convert.ToInt32(aAID.Text), aRole.Text, aPassword.Text);
MessageBox.Show("Person Deleted");
this.personTableAdapter.Fill(this._30002195DataSet.Person);
this.administrationTableAdapter.Fill(this._30002195DataSet.Administration);
catch (Exception)
MessageBox.Show("Cannot delete Person");
Those methods above are working fine, what I'm having problems with, is with the editing/updating part.
I have tried a few things and haven't worked.
Here's an example of an edit, while trying to use textboxes.
personTableAdapter.Update(aFirstName.Text, aSurname.Text, Convert.ToDateTime(aDoB.Text), aPhone.Text, aAdd1.Text, aAdd2.Text, aSuburb.Text, aState.Text, aPostcode.Text, AdminType.Text, Convert.ToInt32(aID.Text), aFirstName.Text, aSurname.Text, Convert.ToDateTime(aDoB.Text), aPhone.Text, aAdd1.Text, aAdd2.Text, aSuburb.Text, aState.Text, aPostcode.Text, AdminType.Text);
administrationTableAdapter.Update(aRole.Text, aPassword.Text, Convert.ToInt32(aAID.Text), aRole.Text, aPassword.Text);
personBindingSource.EndEdit();
administrationBindingSource.EndEdit();
administrationTableAdapter.Update(_30002195DataSet.Administration);
personTableAdapter.Update(_30002195DataSet.Person);
MessageBox.Show("Person Updated");
this.personTableAdapter.Fill(this._30002195DataSet.Person);
this.administrationTableAdapter.Fill(this._30002195DataSet.Administration);
Here I tried to do the new values/original values, while trying to use textboxes
personTableAdapter.Update(aFirstName.Text, aSurname.Text, Convert.ToDateTime(aDoB.Text), aPhone.Text, aAdd1.Text, aAdd2.Text, aSuburb.Text, aState.Text, aPostcode.Text, AdminType.Text, Convert.ToInt32(aID.Text), aFirstName.Text, aSurname.Text, Convert.ToDateTime(aDoB.Text), aPhone.Text, aAdd1.Text, aAdd2.Text, aSuburb.Text, aState.Text, aPostcode.Text, AdminType.Text);
administrationTableAdapter.Update(aRole.Text, aPassword.Text, Convert.ToInt32(aAID.Text), aRole.Text, aPassword.Text);
Trying to use the example through the mdsn, this is trying to use the datagridview.
this.Validate();
personBindingSource.EndEdit();
teacherBindingSource.EndEdit();
_30002195DataSet.PersonDataTable deletedPerson = (_30002195DataSet.PersonDataTable)
_30002195DataSet.Person.GetChanges(DataRowState.Deleted);
_30002195DataSet.PersonDataTable newPerson = (_30002195DataSet.PersonDataTable)
_30002195DataSet.Person.GetChanges(DataRowState.Added);
_30002195DataSet.PersonDataTable modifiedPerson = (_30002195DataSet.PersonDataTable)
_30002195DataSet.Person.GetChanges(DataRowState.Modified);
try
if (deletedPerson != null)
personTableAdapter.Update(deletedPerson);
teacherTableAdapter.Update(_30002195DataSet.Teacher);
if (newPerson != null)
personTableAdapter.Update(newPerson);
if (modifiedPerson != null)
personTableAdapter.Update(modifiedPerson);
_30002195DataSet.AcceptChanges();
catch (System.Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
finally
if (deletedPerson != null)
deletedPerson.Dispose();
if (newPerson != null)
newPerson.Dispose();
if (modifiedPerson != null)
modifiedPerson.Dispose();
MessageBox.Show("Updated");
this.personTableAdapter.Fill(this._30002195DataSet.Person);
this.teacherTableAdapter.Fill(this._30002195DataSet.Teacher);
Now because I am trying to edit a certain user which requires the Person table along with the other table, it just doesn't seem to work at all.
With the datagridview, I made a new view in the sql and it has both tables combined and shows when I bring it out from the datasource, but where I go into the dataset builder and try to create an update method, all I get is the "Update" not what
I would get when I created the update method from just the person's table by itself.
Can someone provide me with an example or help me out someway because I am struggling with this, I can't seem to find much information at all.
Thanks.

I have used the designer to create a new datagridview, when using that dgv it doesn't want to update to the relevent tables in my database. So say you have the person and admin dgv together and you need to update it, how would you get it to work
to the database? I did just end up using 2 seperate dgv's but it won't get accepted.
try
_30002195DataSetTableAdapters.PersonTableAdapter personTableAdapter = new _30002195DataSetTableAdapters.PersonTableAdapter();
// person table
_30002195DataSetTableAdapters.AdministrationTableAdapter administrationTableAdapter = new _30002195DataSetTableAdapters.AdministrationTableAdapter();
// admin table
ViewSetTableAdapters.AdminViewTableAdapter adminviewTableAdapter = new ViewSetTableAdapters.AdminViewTableAdapter();
// tried using this for both the admin/person tables together but didn't work?
this.Validate();
adminViewBindingSource.EndEdit(); //both
personBindingSource.EndEdit();
administrationBindingSource.EndEdit();
personTableAdapter.Update(_30002195DataSet.Person);
administrationTableAdapter.Update(_30002195DataSet.Administration);
MessageBox.Show("Updated");
this.personTableAdapter.Fill(this._30002195DataSet.Person);
this.administrationTableAdapter.Fill(this._30002195DataSet.Administration);
catch (Exception ex)
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
So, how would I write the code so it edits both the tables from just the one dgv?
Hello,
Based on these words above, it seems that the key issue is that you want to display and edit the data of two tables with a single datagridview, right? If so, I am afraid that I would recommend you consider using code other than designer to get that done.
Are these table store in the same database?
If so, then you could consider getting that done with ADO.NET, we could getting the data of multiple table with sql query. You could consider
using sql query to get all data from multiple tables
of database, and then fill them to a single datatable.
For query issue, you could consider getting help from
Transact-SQL forum.
If not, then we need to create update query for both table and execute these queries with sperate connection strings.

Windows Vista 64bit OS, NVIDIA and other questions.

I have a few questions I hope someone can answer.
Can I run 64bit Vista in Bootcamp?
If I wipe my harddisk and install 64bit vista and have a Windows only machine would that allow me to use different NVIDIA grpahics cards such as 9600GT?
I would imagine that the limitation of graphics cards are only due to driver compatability with MAC and qualification process?
If I wish to expand storage are there any sub 1TB drives that can use a 32MB cache? It seems only the 1TB/32MB cache is qualified with MAC. Is this another limitation that I could get round by running Vista 64bit.
I am not trying to start a flame war. I am only looking for sensible answers.
Thank you.

Can I run 64bit Vista in Bootcamp?
Yes. Both the computer and OS X are fully 64-bit compliant.
You can install a second video card that does not work with OS X but does work with Windows. Third-party video cards do not work with OS X because they do not have the EFI boot ROM required by OS X. They will, however, work when you boot into Windows. You do not need to convert the Mac Pro to a Windows-only machine which would seem a waste of perfectly good hardware and software.
You can install any SATA hard drive in the Mac Pro. There is no limitation with regard to size. Cache, however, is a feature of the drive and not the computer. Apple does not "qualify" drives for use with the computer.
These questions have been discussed in the Mac Prp fourms so I suggest you search the forums for other discussions of the topics.
