EhP4 Performance Management

HR want to be involved in approving objectives (created by employees) and the final appraisal ratings. What role do you assign to HR. Is there SAP approved workflow available. (I am already using Higher Manager role and WF for higher manager responsibility)

Hi -
You can control this by using pushbuttons and substatus control.
So if you want your HR to approve objectives before moving on to "In Review" phase, you can give the employee only one pushbutton that says "Send to HR", which is using the "Further Participants" role in the system. Once the HR opens the document, they will ahve a button that says "approve" which can either put the template into the review status, or maybe an additional substatus during "In Planning", which sends the document to the Performance Appraiser.
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
Nick

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: Different between Predefined, Flexible & Generic

Hi,
Would like to know the difference between Predefined, Flexible & Generic approach in Performance Management implementation.
Thanks a lot !
Patrick Cheung

Enhancement pack 4 delivers two ways of performance management:
1. Predefined Process
2. Flexible process
The predefined process is a new method of doing performance management. It supports only one performance management process that is predefined on SAP. If your process differs from the predefined one, you have to use the flexible process. The predefined process supports goal cascading and a very attractive user interface.
The flexible process looks similar to the MBO solution prior to EhP4, but integrates to LSO instead of T&E

Hiding elements in flexible performance management

Dear Experts,
We're on EHP4 and using Flexible performance management. I would like to hide certain elements based on the sub-status of the appraisal document. Currently, I am able to hide the columns associated with these elements by modifying the values in the parameter 'T_BODY_CELLS' ( created an implementation of BADI HRHAP00_VAL_DET) . However, I am unable to hide the description of these elements as it is stored in the parameter T_BODY_ELEMENTS which is not a part of the export/changing parameter of this BADI.
Is there any BADI or any other way in which I can hide the values present in T_BODY_ELEMENTS based on the sub-status?
Thanks,
Sachin

Here is the answer - OSS note #
1748048
1748048 - Message no. HRHAP00_TEMPLATE160 - Value determination 'CASCADED_GOALS_DESCRIPTION' is not possible for elements other than ''

Flexible appraisal processes & predefined Performance Management process.

Good Night.
What is the diference between Flexible appraisal processes & predefined Performance Management process and in what case i have that use it?
Kind Regards-

Hi Juan,
Flexible Appraisal Porcess- As the name suggest you have the flexibilty to design your apparisal templates using the functionalities provided by SAP.
For eample: Using transaction PHAP_Catalog_PA or OOAM, you can design your apparsail template.
Predefined Appraisal Template: Again as the name suggest, SAP has pre-designed the strucure for defining the appraisal template. After clicking on the tab for Predefined appraisal process in IMG node, you will follow the number of screens in sequece.
Excellent material is available on SAP Servicemarketplace for Performance Appraisal in EHP4. Please check the link below:

Predefined Performance Management Process and Infotype 7409 'Performance'

Hi,
I hope, that anyone can answer my question.
I have configured a predefined Performance Management Process in SAP 6.0 EHP4 and finished the process with an overall assessment of the performance of the employees. However, no data has been written into Infotyp 7409 "Performance". Shouldn't the data of such an assessment be written into it?
The SAP documentation for IT7409 says the following:
"An employee's manager can use a form to assess the performance of the employee. In a talent review meeting, the participants can confirm this performance assessment or reclassify the employee regarding his or her performance.
For each performance assessment that is stored in the talent profile or made in the talent review meeting, the system creates a record for the Performance infotype in the background and stores the ID of the employee's central person in the record (object type CP)."
(http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/a7/2bbb6a72aa4812b834a5ac777f630b/frameset.htm)
However, to be able to add a talent to a talent review meeting, the talent already needs to have an entry in IT7409.
Hence my question: How does the IT7409 get filled?
Kind regards
Daniel

My question seems to have been a problem in fact and seems to have been solved with OSS note 1338701 just yesterday.
Kind regards
Daniel

Performance Management - Change of appraiser

In HCM Performance Management EhP4, if the manager changed during appraisal cycle, how do you change the appraisaer in the document. Is this dependent on the status of the document?
Can you automate the process by developing a custom class?

Utilization of forum search would have led you to this discussion:

Performance Management Objective Setting

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a full HCM implementation and had a few questions regarding performance management. The client is interested in having goals and objectives "cascade" through org. units and pre-load on Performance Appraisal templates.
In the phap_catalog, I have noticed a value determination named "ORG_OBJECTIVES" and it supposedly auto-fills goals set by managers for the performance review period.
Basically, I am looking for a productive/proper way to have goals flow from the overall organization, through lower level organizational units down to each and every employee.
For example: Company X has 3 overall goals -> Bob Smith works within Org. Unit Y in which there are 3 separate goals that refer to this Org. Unit -> and then Bob Smith has the ability to add 3 of his own goals for the year. Overall there would be 3 overall company goals, 3 org. unit goals (total of 6 that pre-fill) and 3 empty fields for Bob Smith to input his own goals.
Any help would be wonderful. Thank you for your time.

Raghu,
Your response was extremely helpful.
Do you have any documentation or guidance on how I could create custom tables to use this BADI that you are talking about. Currently there is no plan for SEM, so I am going to have to take the route of custom tables utilizing the BADI that you mentioned. In terms of custom tables, creating them and using them, I only have a high level knowledge, so any documentation/guidance would be very helpful.

Adam P.

Performance Manager and Data Gatherer

Hello,
I am looking for some basic info (I think). I have been using the EM Console - standalone for some time now but would like to use the diagnostic pack and Performance Manager. Can this be used in a standalone configuration or do I need to buy Enterprise Manager? If it works in a standalone configuration and I do not need to buy it, could you point me in the direction of documentation on how to start the data gatherer on my 9i database on AIX 5?
Thanks,
Jeff Graham

Replacimg performance Manager with SSM(SAP Strategy management)

Hi,
Can any body tell me how to migrate all the scorecards, KPIs based on Performance Manager to SAP Strategy Management. Is there is a tool for that in SSM if not should those be rebuilt in SSM from the scratch.
how do we replicate everything fromPM to SSM
From the developer perspective what will their tasks.
Edited by: chrisbaker1999 on Jun 16, 2011 1:01 PM

Chris,
What the External Data Loader does is to allow you to transfer your scorecard structure from Performance Manager to Strategy Management. What you are importing is the structure of Contexts, Perspectives, Objectives and KPI aspects. It allows you to put all of these in the loader, verify the structure in the loader, and then using Transport to bring into SSM.
There are additional definitions and settings that SSM requires that will have to be added after you Transport the loader's data.
You will still have to build PAS models separately, because the External Data Loader does not build models.
The Transporter tool in SSM allows you to export (and then import) your scorecard metadata from DEV to PROD. Moving between systems is a two-step process, and Transporter is step one. PAS is separate (step two) and you make a dump of the model in your DEV system, take that dump file from the Home directory in DEV and move it to the Home directory in PROD. In the PROD system you create a new PAS model frame and then load that dump into the new framework.
Each SAP customer has a super-administrator that can add users to the SAP Service Marketplace. Find out who your super-admin is and get yourself added to allow you access to those areas on Service Marketplace.

Bob

Managers can't see their employees when creating apprisal documents in Performance Management

Hi All,
I'm looking for you experts to enlighten me regarding an issue with the SAP Performance Management solution. We have recently (2013) implemented the Performance Management solution and everything has worked as expected. Now, we are in the process where the managers create the employees appraisal documents for the evaluation of the year 2013. The issue we are encountering is that managers who have been transfer to a new organizational unit are not able to see the employees which they supervised before the transfer.
Currently our company has an structural profile which is assigned to all the managers and supervisors, and this profile gives access to the employees which are assign to the manager or supervisor. In addition we have an MSS role for managers and supervisors, and here we added the authorization object P_HAP_DOC to authorize manager to perform the PM process.
Why the managers/supervisors who have been transfer are not able to see their employees?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Santhiel Ramos

Thank you for your response,
Yes, as the manager (appraiser) I have created the document in documents_todo.htm.
I went to t-code phap_admin_pa and the document exists. The manager's name and employee's name are listed and the status is listed as In Process.
When I use t-code phap_start_bsp, then documents_received_open2.htm and log in as the employee, there are no documents listed.
I am not sure what is missing Any more ideas?
