Configure approval process in Appraisals - Performance Management

Hi Guys
I am trying to configure the approval process. After the final appraisal by the manager, the appraisal forms hould go to the manager of the manager (next level manager) for approval.
My queries:
1. Is the next level manager defined as further participant or part appraiser?
2. Where do we assign the next level manager? In PHAP_PREPARE? I don't see anyplace where I can do that.
I have done the following configuration:
1. At category level, selected Role 'Higher Manager'
2. At category level, in Status flow--> Person Authorized, selected Higher-Level Manager.
3. In the template, selected Higher Manager in Roles.
What am I missing here?
Regards
FS

Please Provide technical details about the BADI and configuration about the status flow also.
Thanks in Advance.

In Batch management config in Logistic general, Check for the movement type 101 & 321 whether batch creation has been activated to Manual, Automatic, or no creation. In your case it looks like for mvt 321 batch creation is set to manual & for 101 no creation.
if batch creation is set to manual, enter a manual batch no & proceed.
But to cross verify wheter 101 has generated batch or not please check the stocks in MMBE.
Hope this helps.

Appraisals / Performance Management -- EMail Notification

What is the process to send e-mail notifications to the appraisers / appraisees. I have a requirement to include the E-mail verbiage (custom message) in the notifications

you may have to modify the bsp application.
or you can try the status flow tab page in the phap_catalog_pa tcode.

1. who is the default approver for appraisal documents?
2. how is the document sent for approval? is there a standard pushbutton that does that? is this in the Appraisal document WD4A application?
3. what is the difference between statuses 'approved' and 'closed approved'
4. is the status flow like this: completed->approved->closed approved?

this is completely controlled by who you let move the document on the status flow from In Process to completed. Generally it is the appraiser, i.e. the manager.

all of this is controlled on the status flow tab in phap_catalog when you are at the template level for config.

approved, and closed approved are really up to you from a design perspective and how you want the flow to work. within the status flow tab you could do something like:
in proces -> completed - Is only allowed by appraiser
Completed -> Approved - is only allowed by higher level manager
Approved -> closed approved - is done by the employee as an acknowledgment

Can any one please assist us by guiding us on the following things?
1. From BASIS point of view we have assigned roles to each user as employee e.g. developer charm (SAP_SOAM*) role to developer user\employee in solution manager, still when we are creating tickets then we cant see the options like in development, in process etc
2. We are going forward with the default settings can any one tell us if we need to do something extra to get all those options activated like in process, in development etc
I am in mid of these configuration settings; please assist me asap if possible.
Thanks in advance,

Hello
Thanks for your reply,
I have used BP to create and process change request. Only confused with the standard process and where to look for the change documents, thats the reason i couldnt see the requests and change their status.
I just want to know if you have customized any thing in to the standard configuration, say for e.g. if you want to add your own actions like in maintenance cycle after requests been released in development if you want to import automatically in QA which happens in case of Urgent corrections. What I need to do if I have to do such settings or change it in my standard configuration.
How can I change this standard configuration? Anyone has done such kind of customization?
Thanks for your help and more help on this topic will be appreciated.

Performance Management EHP4 Flexible Appraisal Process

Hi
We are in the process of building Performance Management using Enhancement Package 4 in ECC 6.0 in our test system. We have activiated flexible appraisal process and have completed the necessary config for ESS and MSS and appraisal template.
The MSS user can create the appraisal and define the objectives etc. The ESS user can view the appraisal but cannot add comments. On checking the appraisal template we have created a criteria for employee comments and an element called additional comments the tab 'element access' has been marked against the employee as follows:
Participant = Employee
Plan:Access = Change
Review Access = Change
Completed = Display
So we do not know why the ESS user cannot add comments.
Can anyone help on this issue?
Many thanks
Julie

Many thanks for this - we have checked the template level and have the column access for column 'objectives' (which is what is used at element level for appraisee comments) and if we change the column owner to 'appriaser and appraisee' it works for the appraisee but not for the appraiser. So we have a choice either it is set to appraiser and it works fine for the manager or we change it to appraisee and appraiser and it works fine for the ESS user.
Perhaps there is something else we need to check?

Performance management with ONLY ESS and NO MSS??

Hello Gurus,
I have a very peculiar scenario regarding and ESS/MSS.
Let me first post our requirments:
We have implemented all modules of HR along with OM and now in the process of implementing Performance Management along with ESS only . I am stressing on ESS only here with NO MSS functionality.
Now my question is..is it really possible in the first place to have a performance management functionality without MSS and just with standalone ESS? If yes, what are the options that I have to configure the performance management system and the ESS system so that the workflows for Planning, Rating an employee, and Approvals regarding appraisals can be achieved??
Is it possible to assign an ESS role to the manager and then when the manager logs in ESS, he/she can go ahead with the performance management process and can check employees just like the way it happens in MSS?
Thanks a lot for your time.
Best Regards.
Karan.

Dear Karan,
Firstly, it is not mandatory to implement MSS for approvals/notifications...
Manager in MSS term is used to refer Head of Unit (in general) and not the immediate supervisor, i.e, relation ship (012).
UWL - Universal Work List is the place where all work items for approval is listed and this can be activated in ESS with out using MSS functionality also.
Comming to Performance Managment: Yes it can be acheived. NO MSS is required for Appraisals.
if you are using BSP applications, there are different pages available for employee view, and manager view..\
all that u need to do is, use the appropriate pages in the links that you gonna provide in ESS>Performance Management.
SAP has given provision to create your own notifications (workflow) in configurations. Create a Z Event and ask your ABAPer to send a notification based on that Z Event. This all is standard.

Hi,
In your case check for HR administrator for final ratings and other things also check for r/3 desktop services.
but why they are not going for mss, om is in place right

Error on Flexible Performance Management Appraisal Document

Hello Experts,
We are in the process of building Performance Management using Enhancement Package 4 in ECC 6.0. I am having issues with getting the Appraisal Document to work for MSS. Just to clarify too, I have no experience with Performance Management and the fact that we are using Enhancement package 4, our Functional consultants are not sure what to expect either. One more thing, the SICF service is activated.
*) When trying to preview the Appraisal Document (com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hap_document), I am receiving a Portal Run Time error.
*) When I go into SE80, I am using Package u2018PAOC_HAP_DOCUMENT_WD_UIu2019 to run a test on Web Dynpro Application HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT, I am receiving u2018Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible.u2019
*) When I go into SE80, I am using Package u2018PAOC_HAP_DOCUMENT_WD_UIu2019 to run a test on Web Dynpro Configuration HAP_AC_MAIN_DOC, I am receiving u201Cu2018Error in Calling Up Applicationu2019 The Web Dynpro application was called up with the wrong URL parametersu201D.
QUESTIONS:
1) Do I have to implement Generic Performance Management (com.sap.pct.erp.mss.14.generic_performance_management) to call the appraisal document?
2) Is there any special configuration that needs to be done to make the HAP_MAIN_DOC work (portal or R/3)?
3) Do I need to manually create an SICF service for this?
4) Is there any documentation on how to implement the Flexible?
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike

Hello H2R,
I copied the Iview Generic Performance Management (com.sap.pct.erp.mss.14.generic_performance_management) with Application Name 'HAP_START_PAGE_POWL_UI_MSS' and the Application Configuration Name 'HAP_START_PG_POW_MSS_AC'.
Activated the SICF services of 'hap_main_document', 'HAP_START_PG_POW_MSS_AC', 'HAP_START_PAGE_POWL_UI_MSS. Also, I would activate the services that begin with 'HAP' that l thought that I would need.
In SE80, there are 2 locations to find these Applications: 1) Web Dynpro Comp./Intf. = FPM_OIF_COMPONENT and 2) Package = PAOC_HAP_DOCUMENT_WD_UI.
As for the notes, we are on SAPK-60420INEAHRGXX, these are the notes that we applied:
1468466 - PM Launchpad Config
1463821 - PM Portal Config
1416756 - OBN Config in PM
1408243 - Config for OBN
Hope this helps,

Approval Process Not triggering?

Hello,
I have created a simple Approval process in which request should go to the Beneficiary manager through JDEVELOPER. I have also registered this Approval process with OIM.
After that i have created two Approval policies..
REQUEST LEVEL--
This is Auto Approved.
Approval Rule :: Template Name equals Provision Resource.
Set Priority : 1 (Request Type=Provision Resource)
OPERATIONAL LEVEL --
Approval Process attcahed at this level.
Approval Rule :: Template Name equals Provision Resource.
When i am creating a request for a particular resource the request is getting assigned to XELSYSADM by default (as per the Developers Guide for OIM 11g, if no approval policy is attached with the template the default Approval process gets trigerred and the request gets assigned to XELSYSADM.)
Can somebody help me by telling why the Default Approval process is getting triggered and not the one which i have attached at the Operational level?
Am i missing Something?
Thanks in Advance.

As i have mentioned earlier, it is configured such that the appropriate approval process is triggered when a request for particualr resources is requested.
There are multiple tasks in each one of the approval process.
The approvals were triggering well 2 days ago and suddenly there seams to be a problem in the approval triggering.
The approval process was not edited / updated for any of these resources. Wondering why suddenly OIM does not work well for the approval triggering???
here the problem is none of the configured approval processes are triggering. Its not just one approval process but all 12 approval processes (including standard approval) are not triggering when the request is raised.
Appreciate your help till now, please suggest me how to make OIM trigger the approvals again!
Thanks

Vendor Approval Process

Dear Experts,
I have a requriement from our company, that when opening vendor code, we want multiple release prococedure, means first sourcing team approve the vendor in system , then QA Team approve the vendor, then Supply chain team approve the vendor in the sytem, then finally the vendor should be approved by CEO. Then vendor is treated as active in sap.
How to achieve this, I have not seen such release procdeure for vendor, please suggest me some workaround, if there is no direct procedure.
My requirement is urgent.
Regards
Ishu

Hi,
This is something not in standard SAP. The approval process of the vendor should be done internally by the management and not supported in SAP. There is only a transaction to create vendors either XK01, MK01 or FK01 all of which are single transactions. The person who creates vendor in your company can be restricted to use the tcode unless the internal approval process done by the management to create the vendor.
Other way is you can think of blocking the vendor which you donot want to use in the procurement activities, this will restrict unwanted vendors entering into the system even by accident.

Approval Process For Journal Entries

We are increasingly being asked to configure approval process for Journal Entries, especially from our larger customers. A move in the right direction was the addition of Stock. However no such addition was mode for journals. Has anyone developed such a solution or can Development give some indication as to where or if this requirement is on the consideration list.

Designing approval process scenario

Hello All,
We need to design an approval process where the line manager and the cost center owner need to approve the expense report.
With the available options we were only able to define a process that leads to a situation that an approver has to approve and expense report twice if the line manager and the cost center manager are the same. Is there an option to avoid double approvals by the same person?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
no, currently this is not possible to avoid or recognize 'double' approval, however colleagues from BTM/MSA framework team are working on a solution for the near future.
Regards,
Peter.
