Job Pricing - Import Market Survey File Specs

I am in the process of importing the market survey data.  The import of the survey data does not work.  Does anyone have the specs for importing the file?  Below is what I have.
Remove all commas from numbers
Salary amounts in full amount (81000)
Remove currency symbols
Never use percent signs
Beaware of the leading zeros
Any suggestions of what people have ran into when trying to import the survey data would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks!

Survey data was missing a key field, which is the Job Level.  Need to include Job + Job Level for matching against the Job Catalog.

  • Job pricing - Import survey provider data

    Hi everyone,
    I´m starting to work with Job pricing, I have no idea of how this modukle work and I need to do a little demo. I can not find a file to be upload and have information of one provider in the system. If any one could tell me where I can find a file or files to start to test how it works, it would be great.
    Thanks

    For Demo purposes identify jobs to be matched against survey jobs in your Dev system. Even one provider file with matching jobs should suffice. Follow the steps and you be good to go:
    1. Run transaction PECM_START_JPR_BSP- Start Job Pricing to get into the web application.
    2. Get into Provider Data Workset. Create Provider for demo purposes with unique Provider Code  a Provider Name and a URL link to the provideru2019s web site and Save the Provider.
    3. Get into Survey Job Catalog. Select Provider and click on Job Catalog tab for the specific job and review the Market data/ aged market data for a job and review/change the job descriptions.
    4. Get into Import Data workset to upload job-related data from the survey provider to make external salary comparisons between what your organization and other similar companies. Select the data type for import from - Survey Job Catalog/ Survey Job Descriptions/ Survey Market Data. Use Browse function to select the file with the survey data and choose Upload. Select Next Step and Match the fields from the imported file -Provider Field Name Versus Field Name in SAP. Thereafter import the data. and review it thoroughly before saving it to your SAP database tables. key fields to match are Job Code and Job Level(if present).
    5. Get into Job Matching workset to match your  internal jobs which you have identified with those of the survey provider. In Create Job Matches screen  Internal Jobs and Survey Jobs showup.. Select your identified internal job to match with survey job and  the system displays the data for this job and any existing job matches. Evaluate how closely the survey job matched your internal job and specify matching percentage and the weighting factor in the appropriate fields information purposes. Save the results.
    6. If aging functionality needs to be shown then get into the workset else skip it. In this workset aging of the survey provider's  data can be carried out either by Market movement rate or by  Aging  factor
    7. Get into Creating a Mass Composite Result  workset  create market composites(in your case only one provider) for your identified jobs.
    8. Get into Salary Structure Adjustment  workset to compare your internal salary structure to the market salary structure finally. As a prereq have Planned Comp for the identified. Get into Current Salary Structure tab to displays the current salary structure for review, Market Data tab to compare with internal salary structure. and select a composite result,  Planned Salary Structure tab to select an existing plan structure from the corresponding dropdown box or from the result created in the Market Data. You could also overwrite the values of this plan structure directly or change the Difference % columns and select Recalculate.
    9.  Final step is to save the updated salary structure in Planned status and as a process after management/board approvoval run the report Update of Pay Grade Amounts from Market Data to activate the new structure.
    I hope it helps.
    Thanks

  • Job Pricing Market Data

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to report out on the internal jobs and how we match up to the external survey providers. My question is, where on the backend is the survey market data stored so we can develop some reports out of it?
    Much appreciated,
    Zack

    Hi Zack,
    The survey market data is stored in IT1271 (table HRP1271). The job pricing process is made up of many different steps and data for all these steps in stored in table T71JPRxx.

  • Job Pricing/Salary Survey Flow in  ECM

    Can someone describe in a technical manner the way in which salary survey information is exchanged between SAP and the provider?  How is job pricing activities completed via the portal?  How does it update the tables?  And what is the configuration either in the backend or in portals that needs to be done?
    Thanks in advance!

    Please refer to helpline provided in help.sap.com and refer to transaction PECM_START_JPR_BSP for documentation on how to do job pricing via portal. There is not much documentation available though on the same, but you may get back to me if you need help in completing cycle.

  • Job Pricing - Match SAP fields to survey data

    I am in the process if importing my survey data and matching the fields and pay categories.  Are we able to use a SAP field name more than once for the columns within the survey data?  Example I have three sections listing the number of incumbents contributing to base pay, total compensation and bonus.  So for these three fields I select Number of Incumbents Contributing to Survey Data.  I am getting errors stating I have the SAP Number of Incumbents Contributing to Survey Data listed more than once.  Any thoughts or ideas?
    Thanks.

    It appears that an SAP field can't be mapped twice.  Split up the survey file into multiple files.

  • Import file spec definition

    When creating a file spec using the import wizard, is there a way to get part of the spec written, and come back to it later?
    I am creating very large and complex specs (over 12 record types, each with dozens of fields). It may take me several days to input all the correct parameters. In the meantime, I have to keep the wizard open, and if the DB goes offline, or my PC reboots, I lose everything because no commit has occured.
    Please advise.

    You could just import the multi-record file strusture 'as-is' providing only the general informatio (field separators, line separators, record discriminator etc.).
    Then you can edit the record types by right-clicking on the file object, selecting Properties on the pop-up menu and editing the record structure one by one there.

    Hello,
    SALARY SURVEYS,
    Used to compare internal compensation data with external data.
    Job pricing is a tool to create and maintain a list of survey providers ( one who gives the survey data of jobs)
    The job pricing tool also allows you to perform job matching to match internal benchmark jobs with jobs contained in a salary survey, as well as age market data that has been imported from the salary survey providers by job or survey.
    SALARY SURVEY PROCESS STEPS.
    1. Job Analysis.
    2. Selection of survey provider
    3. Receive survey data
    4. Import Data
    5. Job Matching
    6. Age data
    7. weight data.

  • ECM - Job Pricing : Salary structure adjustment

    Dear Experts,
    We have a list of 1,104 internal jobs defined in our company.
    Activities performed:
    Created planned compensation IT1005 against all the positions in the organization.
    Created composites after doing the job matching (internal vs external) with 2 different salary surveys and updated the IT1271 composite survey result.
    How to handle the below scenarios ?
    How to upload the market data for the same job in the catalog with different values for different countries. (like SAP consultant in india & US will have different values)
    We are trying to map the market data for a job with the pay grade structure of a particular country. There are 1,104 jobs and how to map this to the pay grade structure having only 15 grades per country.
    I wanted to understand how this mapping happens in a ideal situation to perform the salary structure adjustment.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I would like to combine multiple profiles into a new computer. Which are the most important folder or files to migrate?

    The user profile in my old computer somehow became corrupted and I can no longer access it to log on. Unfortunately I was not aware of the Firefox sync feature at the time. I used a new profile and had to start from scratch to save new bookmarks and extensions/plugins. I did set up Firefox sync for this new profile. Now I have a brand new computer and desire to migrate the bookmarks to this new computer, including the original bookmarks in the old computer, as well as the bookmarks in the second profile. While I have located the profiles folder for each profile in my old computer (as well as extensions and plugin folders), the content of this folder is daunting. I would like to know which are the minimal folders I should select to migrate and would it be safe to simply copy and paste over the entire folder? Please note that I have also added new bookmarks into my new computer which I would not like erased. I hope these details are not convoluted.

    Firefox has two methods of bringing in bookmarks from another Firefox profile:
    * Restore a backup (JSON files in the bookmarkbackups folder): this completely replaces what you have, so is not the first step
    * Import from an HTML file: this is additive and will create an Imported Bookmarks folder or add them under Unsorted Bookmarks
    Restore is best if you tag your bookmarks because the JSON format preserves tags. If tags are not important, then it's easier.
    What I suggest is:
    (1) Export your current bookmarks to the HTML format; you can reimport these later. See: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]. Open the file in Firefox (it's a web page) to make sure it looks complete before proceed.
    Next, get the bookmarkbackups folders from each of your old profiles that you want to restore, and look for the most-complete-looking JSON files (they will have the most recent dates and largest number of bookmarks indicated in the file name). Proceed from the smallest set to the largest, or oldest to newest; basically, restore the most important one last.
    (2) Restore a backup, then export to HTML. This article has the steps for a restore: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]. Then export to HTML and check for completeness.
    (3) Repeat #2 until you get to the last/most important restore. You don't need to export that one.
    (4) Import the HTML files you've made throughout the process.
    (5) In the Library dialog, reorganize. Firefox doesn't have a deduplicator, but you might find one or more extensions to do the job on the Add-ons site if you find a lot of overlap.
    Make sense?

  • Bizarre problem trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into PSE7 Organizer

    Hi
    b Summary of problem:
    *I recently upgraded to PSE 7 / PRE 7
    *I am trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into the PSE7 Organizer
    *I get a "...did not contain any supported file types..." error on attempted import
    b HOWEVER...
    *I can edit same footage in PRE7
    *This footage is automatically added to the Organizer
    *I can play this footage in the PSE7 organizer but generating thumbnails takes ages
    *Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (full 1920x1080i HD)
    *PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB
    *OS: Vista 64 bit
    b Detail:
    I have recently upgraded my PRE/PSE bundle to ver 7 primarily because the new version of PRE boasts support for AVCHD.
    Having installed the new software I quickly tried editing footage in PRE7 with video taken on my Sony HDR SR12 camera (footage taken in full 1920x1080i HD) and it works! Hoorah! I can now finally edit AVCHD footage in it's native format using PRE. Thank you Adobe!
    But my joy was very shortlived because when I tried to import some other footage from the same batch into my PSE7 Video Catalog it wouldn't work. I got a pop up box containing the following error:
    i "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog."
    Under this message is a list of the files that I tried to import. Next to each one there is a reason (it's the same reason for each clip):
    i "Reason: The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer."
    To import files I use the following method: File / Get Photos and Videos / From Files and Folders
    HOWEVER, the files that I imported directly into PRE7 in order to edit them have (surprise, surprise!) automatically been added PSE7 Organizer's Catalog. It takes a quite a while to generate a thumbnail for each clip but it does eventually do it and when it does I can play that footage in PSE7.
    Just in case you're confused by this stage... If I try and manually add files to the PSE7 Organizer it doesn't work BUT if I edit that footage in PRE7 and then load the PSE7 Organizer I see the footage has been automatically added. This makes no sense whatsoever!
    Am I doing something really stupid here? Why oh why will the PSE7 Organizer not import .MTS (AVCHD) files?!
    NB: While searching for a solution to this problem I have, thanks to this Forum, found out about the K-Lite Codec Pack. I downloaded and installed the Basic pack v4.4.5 and now I can, at least, play my .MTS video files in Windows Media Player... I wish I had found out about that a couple of months ago because it would have saved me from buying Cyberlink PowerDVD 8!
    Please someone help before I lose the plot.
    Thanks
    Patrick
    b PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB, Vista 64 bit
    b Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (footage in full 1920x1080i HD)

    Hi
    I'd just like to add an update to this post.
    b Summary:
    *K-Lite Codec Pack clashes with Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
    *Analysis of video in Sony's PMB is well worth doing!
    *You can Drag and Drop clips from Sony's PMB into PRE7
    b Detail:
    As you've probably gathered I have now settled on using Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) to Catalog all my video. Sorry Adobe to talk about someone elses product but the Adobe Organizer just can't cope with AVCHD footage no matter how you manage to import it! It's far too sluggish and my PC has an Intel Core i7 940 CPU with 6GB RAM and a 10,000 RPM HDD!
    Anyway, in my first post you'll have read me raving about the K-Lite Codec Pack but sadly I've had to uninstall it because it kept on causing PMB to crash. PMB runs much smoother and quicker WITHOUT that codec pack. Something about it clashed with PMB. The once agile PMB became sluggish and unresponsive.
    Having now removed the codec pack PMB is back to being agile and generaly lovely.
    To view AVCHD footage outside of PMB I have reverted to using Cyberlink's PowerDVD 8 - there's always a pregnant pause between double-clicking on the clip and it playing but that's the only drawback.
    If you are going to use Sony's PMB for cataloging your video collection (and I recommend you do so BUT only if you have AVCHD footage - otherwise stick to Adobe's Organiser) then I can fully recommend "Analyzing" all of your footage. This takes time and a bit of patience because it kept stopping for no apparent reason but would readily start up again (without having to do anything else) BUT once it's done it'll reward you with the following:
    *Filter on any combination of Scenery, People, Smiles - e.g. with a click of a button you can isolate footage that contains smiles, etc
    *Face Search - if you select some or all of the footage in the right-hand pane it will then put a small thumbnail for all of the different faces in that selected footage in the bottom "Face Search" pane. If you then click on one of those thumbnails it will jump to the clip(s) that contain that face and grey out all the other clips
    *Expand Videos - This tool is brilliant! In normal viewing mode you get a thumbnail of the video whether you're in Folder view, Calender view or Detail List view. If, however, you select "Expand Videos" from the tool bar it will show you a series of frames contained within that clip. You can choose from "Highlights" or various regular intervals (5 secs, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, etc). The Highlights option does a pretty good job of picking out the significant changes within the clip
    Lastly, I have discovered that you can drag a clip from Sony's PMB into PRE7. It won't let you put it directly onto the Timeline but it will let you drop it into the Project file list (found under the Edit tab).
    I do hope that this info has helped others like me who are trying to get to grips with editing and cataloging AVCHD footage.

  • Can't import/open HTML files in Fireworks CS4

    I'm trying to import/open HTML files into Fireworks CS4 to do some redesigning. I inherited the job of redoing my companies website and we believe the person who created our website created the site using Dreamweaver 8. Unfortunatley that person moved on to a new job across the country and we can't ask him exactly how he created our website.
    When I try to open some of the HTML files in FW I get the message: "Could not open the file....Fireworks could not find an HTML table in this file". Next I tried creating a new, very simple HTML page in Dreamweaver CS4 that contains just a few lines of text and 1graphic (we just bought the CS4 web suite). Again, I get the same error.
    Other files give me a slightly different error message when trying to open them in FW, "The HTML document contains one or more images with absolute web addresses for the source. Fireworks cannot handle these images. --click OK-- (next error message) Could not open the file. Fireworks has encountered a problem with the HTML in this table. Verify that the HTML is valid"... and then it closes and nothing loads into FW. Bummer.
    I've searched on these forums and can't find any solutions to this problem although I found a few people experiencing the same problem.
    Do I need to do something to the Dreamweaver created HTML's to get them to open in FW? Any help would be appreciated.

    Fireworks is a graphics editor that can export code; it is not an HTML/code editor.
    If you have exported HTML from Fireworks, you ought to be able to re-import that, but I would think most people who use Fireworks exported code would just modify their Fireworks document and re-export. (Fireworks' code is not robust and it is only intended for mockups and prototypes. Fireworks is not intended for developing and maintaining live Web sites; Dreamweaver is.)
    If your developer used Dreamweaver, then I really don't expect that Fireworks would be able to import that, nor any code that isn't in exactly the format that it can export. If you know your developer used Fireworks, then you need to look for .png files. Fireworks uses an enhanced version of the PNG format for its native document format.
    If you are making small adjustments to your site, then you might be better off working in Dreamweaver. If you're doing a site re-design, then Fireworks is an excellent tool for laying out your design and producing your graphics, but you will, at some point, need to move over to Dreamweaver for coding.
