Is it possible to lock an appraisal document?

Hi,
One of the client requirement is to lock the incomplete appraisal document from editing. Is there a function available to lock the document from editing? Does any one know how to do it?.
Many thanks,
Terence

Hi Terence,
I think you are looking for a more permanent lock on the document.
What you can do is make sure you have a status or sub-status configured for the appraisal template.  This is configured on the status_flow tab.   
For this custom status you would make sure the Person Authorized is some Role other than the appraiser / appraisee.  You can configure a custom role. 
You would basically jerry-rig the template so that when the document is moved into that sub-status neither the appraiser / appraisee can move the document forward or backward, and you make the document have a read-only status.
Than to make this work, when the documents are live, a performance management adminstrator can go into phap_admin and manually mass move all the document status to the limbo status you configured.  Once you want to unlock it again, the adminstrators would move it back to a document status that then gives the appraisee or appraiser control on the document.
hope this helps, let me know if you like the idea.

  • Upload of mass Appraisal Documents

    Hi,
    Is it possible to upload mass Appraisal Documents through LSMW or BDC.

    Hi,
    The appraisal system works on the basis of the column and row. So when you are doing an appraisal the values actually go in column wise and then row wise. The matrix is build by SAP.
    You will not be able to directly use this one function module and build the program to upload. You will have to use the other function module also.
    If you check FM HRHAP_DOCUMENT_CREATE you will have to pass all the values for the tables like S_HEADER_DATES, S_HEADER_STATUS, T_BODY_COLUMNS, T_BODY_CELLS, T_BODY_ELEMENTS, S_DOC_PROCESSING apart from the appraiser and the appraisee details. Then only the appraisal gets created. For getting the details for the above mentioned table you can use the FM HRHAP_TEMPLATE_GET_DETAIL. In this FM pass plan version and the template ID(which you have designed) and you will get the details. The same have to be passed to HRHAP_DOCUMENT_CREATE. This can be done in the program.
    All the other values which are changing (like date of the appraisal, appraisers personnel number, appraisees personnel number etc) can be passed from an excel sheet.
    You will have to get a program developed using the FM's.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Completed appraisal documents in MSS

    Hi all,
    I'm using ESS/MSS package on EP v7 and ECC6.
    I'd like to know if it's possible to display completed appraisal documents in MSS (so documents' appraisers).
    I'm just able to display them in ESS using documents_received page.
    Thanks in advance, best regards.
    Angelo

    HI,
    Filter only the completed documents,
    *The status depends how you have configured..
    suppose if status '6' is completed,then
       ls_sel_status-ap_status_1 = c_false.
      ls_sel_status-ap_status_2 = c_false.
      ls_sel_status-ap_status_3 = c_false.
      ls_sel_status-ap_status_4 = c_false.
      ls_sel_status-ap_status_5 = c_false.
    ls_sel_status-ap_status_6 = c_true.
    thne retrive only the completed documents from the fn module,
    call function 'HRHAP_DOCUMENT_GET_LIST_XXL'

  • Is it possible to lock cells in a shared document?

    I would like to share a document and only allow certain cells to be available for changes in the data in those cells. Some cells will have formulas I don't want changed. Is it possible to lock a cell or range of cells so they can't be changed? Thanks for any help you can give.

    they added password protection for the whole document, but I don't know about individual cells. that would require sheet or table level password protection, which isn't available.

  • Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

    Is it possible to lock a layer within a document and password protect that specific layer?

    As stated, no way to do exactly what you want, but an option might be to turn OFF Visibility for that Layer, if you do not want it seen, and then Flatten, and do a Save_As.
    If you do want that Layer seen, but not able to be edited, then Flatten, with Visibility ON, and Save_As.
    The question is, do you want the recipient to see that Layer, or not?
    Next, Do they need to be able to edit all other Layers, but just not that one?
    Last, what type of Layer is it?
    Good luck,

  • PMS Un Locking Appraisal Documents

    Hi all
    We like to unlock all the locked appraisal documents for every half an hour.
    For the above functionality our ABAPer has written a Z program to unlock all the appraisal documents and wanted it to be scheduled for every half an hour.
    Functionality of the above program.
    1) Go to Tcode PHAP_ADMIN and execute.
    2) Go to the tab Goto-> Locked appraisal documents, Then it will show all the locked appraisal documents.
    3) Select all the locked appraisal documents and then press unlock, then all the appraisal documents will be unlocked.
    The same above functionality is incorporated the program, so if it is scheduled for every half an hour,then the appraisal documents will be open to the employees for every half an hour.
    As the process is not any way related to SM12 TCode (which consists of all the locked objects),the other objects other than Appraisal documents will not be unlocked.
    Goto-> Locked appraisal documents is only specific for the appraisal documents.
    But as per our knowledge SAP Standard is unlocking all the appraisal documents for every one hour.
    If we schedule this Z Program for every half an hour, then both the standard and the Z Program will clash for every hour which is not required.
    Can any one tell me where to change that one hour limit to half an hour in the standard it self.
    or will there be any problem if both the programs clashes for every hour
    Please let me know how SAP Unlocks the Appraisal Documents for every hour, (Using a background job or Is it a configuration)If it is a background job please let me know the standard job, so that we can change the time of the standard job.
    Thanks in Advance
    Avinash

    Hi,
    Why would you want to do this? This is dangerous and can cause major inconsistencies. The standard unlocks in the web after 30 minutes as per default, but thats a configuration setting.
    I would not recommend to have this report running in a productive environment.

  • 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.

  • 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:

    Dear Kris,
    It is not possible to download documents with more than 20 elements to Excel. (More precisely, only a truncated version of such documents will be downloaded.)        
    As of basis release 7.00 it is possible to download the documents to Adobe forms without the size limitation.

    Hi,
    An objective setting cycle encompasses the following phases:
    Planning
    In a planning consultation, the necessary qualifications and competencies are first identified for an employee and then concrete objectives and required performance levels are agreed. For example, sales targets could be defined and the employee could agree to take on specific tasks in a project, and so on. These aspects can be defined by the manager, by the employee or both. The employeeu2019s personal training and development requirements are discussed and entered in the objective setting agreement.
    Review
    During the review, the objectives agreed with the employee during the planning phase are checked and adjusted to reflect the current situation. The manager and employee discuss the possible need for support, establish whether the objectives defined in the planning phase are still relevant, and add further objectives or decide to delete obsolete ones. Furthermore, the manager can make comparisons between the objectives set previously and the employeeu2019s current performance.
    Appraisal
    During the appraisal, the manager and employee discuss the extent to which the employee has fulfilled the set objectives. They check and assess the employeeu2019s overall performance and the implementation of concrete set objectives. Any further training requirements or an overfulfillment of the objectives are identified in the different areas. The appraisal document is completed when the manager and employee agree on an valuation. As soon as the appraisal document is saved in the system as Completed or Approved, the employeeu2019s compensation can be adjusted automatically and the employeeu2019s qualifications profile can be updated

  • Other Users need access to Appraisal Documents in OSA

    Hi,
    We are implementing Objective Setting and Appraisals and have found that when a user logs into the Portal, they are only able to enter Appraisal documents where they are the Appraisee or Appraiser.
    We have the need to allow other users to enter Appraisal documents, for example, the Next Higher Supervisor.  When they log into the Portal, they can see all their subordinates, but it looks like no one has an appraisal document, when in fact, they do.
    What do we need to change to allow these extra users to be able to see that appraisal documents do exist so that they can select them?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Mary Ann Kolnik

    Hi Rachel,
    Hopefully I will answer your questions. 
    We currently have a custom implementation of the column owner badi because we found that the choices delivered (AE-for appraisee only, AR-for appraiser only, etc.) were not enough for us.  We determined that our requirements for column access needed an owner of the appraisee sometimes and an owner of appraiser sometimes and possibly even other participants (like a Power User, Delegate, etc.).  So, right now we created an AL choice for 'All Users' and then in the column owner method check_column_owner, we have code to see if 'myself' is the appraisee, the appraiser, or a further participant.
    If he's the appraisee, we pass an 'E' in the export parameter column_owner.  If he's the appraiser, we pass an 'R', and so forth.
    Then we have these values in our custom zcol_access table.  This is so that the column access badi can pull the column availability from zcol_access for the particular column_owner per column/status/substatus.  This allows for columns to be hidden, display only, or changeable for particular people at particular status/substatuses.  We do have the template field also in the zcol_access table so you could separate the column access per template also. 
    I hope this makes sense.  It is working for us so far, now the issue is how to get the further participants to be able to enter the correct set of appraisals and get the right columns and custom pushbuttons.  We would like to use the hrhap_others table, because it works well with our column owner and column access design, but our further participants can change their roles often, so we don't want them permanently tied to an appraisal.  More research and trial and error needed.

    Hello Risha,
    If you've applied the note 1416756 , you probably already have the ESS and MSS Business Package 1.41.
    First off, have you got the standard iViews to work from the standard ESS portal role before creating you own iViews?
    On your Portal Content Admin tab, navigate to Content Provided by SAP->End User Content->Employee Self-Service->ERP 6.0 EHP4->Pages->Career and Job
    You will see 2 pages called Appraisal Document and other two called Appraisal Documents (WD_UI) and Appraisal documents (Predefined Process). Since you are trying to use hap_main_document, I assume you are trying to get the Flexible Template iViews working.
    The Pages you will want to reuse/copy are Appraisal Documents (WD_UI) and Appraisal Document with the PCD ID ending with documents_ee.'Appraisal Documents (WD_UI)' is your starting point and 'Appraisal Document' is your target page on clicking on an individual document. If you check the properties of the iViews included in these pages, the ECC applications used will make more sense. (Notice the OBN within the WD_UI page under the page properties. The OBN operation used should show up here If you want to add your own, navigate to Portal Content-> Business Objects->ERP->HR . Locate the operation you want to use and add it to this perspective in your custom page) .
    So create some docs using 'phap_prepare' . Launch the Appraisal Documents (WD_UI) page and click on the doc you've created. The target Page will be launched . What you have been trying to do all along (I think) is launch the target page independently without any inputs.
    Good luck
