Multiple Appraisal Documents via Status Overview Portal iView

Good evening experts,
We have encountered an issue on our system using both custom BSP and standard SAP Delivered BSP for Performance Management (HAP_DOCUMENT).
Logon via Manager self service, then select the link to maintain performance documents to open the Status Overview iView (you can view all directly subordinate employees and links to appraisal documents).
If you select to open two, three, four appraisal documents from the list and have them open simultaneously, we are having an issue for when the manager selects "save" on one of the documents, the header data will all of a sudden display the same appraisee name across all of the open documents. The data becomes corrupt, and data does not properly save.
Have any of you encountered this issue before when you have multiple appraisal documents open at the same time?
Thanks,
Adam

Hi
I guess it happens due to the session of a particular page not expiring , try to delete the cookies from the system and try once more,
Else you may report a bug to SAP.

Access to appraisal document via ESS is restricted by status

Our requirement is for the appraisee to record their objectives (via ESS) and then select a 'To Manager' pushbutton to send a workflow to the manager requesting them to approve the objectives. The problem is that once the workflow has gone to the manager the appraisee cannot access the appraisal document until the manager has approved the objectives and the appraisal status has changed from 'In Planning' to 'In Process'. How can the appraiser view the appraisal document (via ESS) whilst it has the status In Planning?
We also have a similar issue later in the process. When the appraisee selects the <Close Part Appraisal> pushbutton to signify that they have completed their self appraisal the appraisal document has status In Process. The appraisee cannot access the appraisal (via ESS) until the appraiser also completes their part appraisal and sets the status to Completed. Is there a setting to allow the appraisee to have read access to the document during this part of the process?
Thanks and regards,
Janet

Hi again Maurice.
Once the appraisal status has been set to 'Completed' the appraisee needs to Accept or Reject the appraisal but the appraisal now appears as display only (both in ESS and ECC). We are using BSP documents_received.htm for ESS
The 'Accept' and 'Reject' pushbuttons are not active in ESS
The 'Accept' and 'Reject' pushbuttons are active in ECC and update the appraisal status as required. However if the appraisal is rejected and the status is set back to 'In Process' the appraisal document is still display only.
Any ideas?

Hi Gurus,
can anyone tell me the BAPI used for the perticular iview "STATUS OVERVIEW" and name space " sap.com/mss~mbo".
Thanks,

I do not have access to ECC system now but found out some BAPIs for Appraisals so check if it helps.
BAPI_APPRAISAL_GETDETAIL --> Read appraisal
BAPI_APPRAISAL_GETLIST --> Display appraisals
RH_APPRAISAL_MODEL_BAPI PA-PD --> BAPIs for Appraisal Models
BAPI_APPRAISAL_MODEL_GETDETAIL --> Read appraisal model

Multiple Appraisal Document Generation

Hi,
Is there a way of generating appraisal documents using Org. Structure? The scanario would be one manager appraising multiple subordinates.

Thnx for responding Mr.Sameer.
I am working on version 4.7 110.
PHAP_PREPARE_PA opens the same window as PHAP_PREPARE. The problem with using this transaction is that it offers no way of adding a HOD or a part appraiser. I am able to add only appraising manager and a list of appraisees. Besides, am not able to enter the appraisal period (The period within which the appraisal should be finished.) This option is available when a document is created using PHAP_CREATE. would there be any other way of doing this.

Status overview iView not refreshed for performance documents on MSS

Hi Experts,
We are using the standard portal business package for Manager Self Service. However, recently, we found out that one iView was working before suddenly stopped working. This is the Status Overview iView for Maintain Performance Documents. When searching for the performance appraisal documents for a group of direct report employees, the status overviewtable is not refreshed. Although we do have the appraisal documents in
R/3, the iView shows 0 results.
we use MSS 600 SP 8 BP
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi
Can anyone please provide an input on this.

Appraisal document header not showing up in the Portal

when I look at the appraisal document in Portal ESS MSS (using WD4A application Appraisal Document) the header of the appraisal document does not show up (in PHAP_ADMIN it does).
how can I show the appraisal document header in the Portal?

Tiberiu

hi chris, that would almost definitely only be available by doing a webdynpro enhancement to hap_main_document.

Part appraisals as part of OSA Status Overview in MSS?

Hi,
I'm in the middle of a clarification phase regarding implementation of Objective Setting and Appraisal (OSA). This is my question regarding part appraisals:
In the Status Overview page/iview in MSS, the manager can prepare, see, select and modify documents with statuses like In preparation, In Planning and In Process.
If a document has the substatus "Part appraisal in process", and the manager is the first part appraiser, I would expect the document to open the part appraisal column for input when I select the document from the "In Process" column. Instead the document is opened with the Final Appraisal column open for input.
How can you include a managers part appraisal documents in the Status Overview page, or have the part appraisal column open for input?
We want to make the Status Overview the "one point of access" for the managers appraisal tasks, but is that possible within standard?
Kind regards Henrik

Hi Henrik,
Is your issue resolved, we did notice the similar behavior. However if BSP application HAP_DOCUMENT/documents_todo.htm is called directly, it displays the Part appraisal first and then upon completion it displays Final appraisal.
I plan on providing this as URL in MSS as an alternative till OSS status overview is fixed.
Any info ?
regards
Sridhar

Status overview of sales order

Hi,
I need to make a report for sales order and quntity at different status
Status                               Quatity
Delivery status                       10
            Outbound delivery         10
Goods issue status                    10
            GD goods issue:de         10
Billing status                        10
            Invoice                   10
Similar to what we see in Document flow > Status overview.
Is there any fn module for the same.
on debugging i have noticed that it is calling <b>SD_ORDER_STATUS</b> but this will be very bulky and least efficient.
If there is a select statement (with two or three column in the select list ) can be written (can hav as many joins as long as i issue one SQL) then plz suggest

then it is some thing like this..
*-Get VBAP data for the sales orders based on the
* values entered in selection screen
select p~vbeln " Preceding SD document
         p~posnr " Preceding item of an SD document
         p~kwmeng " Sales Order Quantity
         e~lfrel " Item is relevant for delivery
         p~uepos " Higher-level item in BOM structures
    into table it_vbap
    from vbap as p inner join vbep as e
      on p~vbeln = e~vbeln and p~posnr = e~posnr
    where p~vbeln in r_vbeln
    and   p~posnr in r_posnr
    and   p~abgru = ' '.
from the above you will get sales order quantities...
* Select all the DATA from VBFA
if not it_vbap[] is initial.
    select vbelv   " Preceding SD document
           posnv   " Preceding item of an SD document
           vbtyp_n " Doc category of subsequent Document
           vbeln   " Subsequent SD document
           posnn   " Subsequent item of an SD document
           rfmng   " Ref. qty in base unit of measure
           fktyp
      into table it_vbfa
      from vbfa
      for all entries in it_vbap
      where vbelv = it_vbap-vbeln
      and   posnv = it_vbap-posnr
      and   rfmng > 0
      and ( ( vbtyp_n = 'J' and stufe = 0 )
      or    ( vbtyp_n = 'M' and stufe = 0 )
      or    ( vbtyp_n = 'M' and stufe = 1 )
      or    ( vbtyp_n = 'N' and stufe = 0 )
      or    ( vbtyp_n = 'N' and stufe = 1 )
      or    ( vbtyp_n = 'V' and stufe = 0 )
      or    ( vbtyp_n = 'R' and stufe = 0 ) ).
endif.
this is PO----
    loop at it_vbfa where vbtyp_n = c_v.
      it_po-vbeln = it_vbfa-vbeln.
      it_po-posnn = it_vbfa-posnn.
      append it_po.
      clear it_po.
    endloop.
this is deliveries
* Get all the relevent Deliveries
    loop at it_vbfa where vbtyp_n = c_j.
      it_del-vbelv = it_vbfa-vbelv.
      it_del-posnv = it_vbfa-posnv.
      it_del-vbeln = it_vbfa-vbeln.
      append it_del.
      clear it_del.
    endloop.

Link missing for appraisal documents in MSS Status overview

Hi all,
For ESS Status overview page of Flexible Appraisal document, the appraisal documents are listed with links. when we click the link, its taking to the appraisal document.
For MSS Status overview page of Flexible Appraisal documents, the appraisal documents are shown as texts and there is no link. (hyperlink). Opening the document is possible only by clicking 'Display' or 'Edit' button.

MSS Status overview iview Objective Settings & appraisals

Hi All,
Currently the status overview Iview of MSS for appraisals display all the employees(in org unit) irrespective of whether the employee/appraisee has existing documents. This is because this Iview also has the functionality of creating the appraisal documents from here.
In our case we don't create appraisal documents from this Ivew, so we hide the "In Preparation".
Now the question is we want to filter the employees and display only those who has appraisal documents already created. How could we achive this?
All we need is: We wanted to give an view to higher level manager with all the employees who has apprisal documents in completed status and he need to just approve/reject. Is there any other way we can achive this with out using the Status Overview Iview. I am not able to locate any bsp which serves this purpose from HAP_DOCUMENT.
Please adive me, how can I achive this.
Apprciate your inputs and any kind of help.
Thank You,
Hari.

Hi, Check HAP_CALIBRATION / search.htm and result.htm you can enhance his behavior modifying filtering,
Best Regards.-

Performance Document Status Overview

We have implemented ESS/MSS on EP7.0 on ECC6.0 and for MSS --> Maintain Performance Documents, we have used a custom BSP Application. Eveything is working fine except the 'status overview' doesn't show status info under correct column for old appraisals. But it shows relevant appraisal status under correct column if we choose 2008 appraisal. By default the portal shows 2006 Performance Appraisal in the drop down but dates are showing 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2010. We've changed the date from 01/01/2006 to 31/12/2006 but still employees appraisal status are not showing under correct column. All 2006 appraisal has "Close Approved" but for all them its showing under "In Preparation" column. But when we select 2008 Performance Appraisal, they work fine.
Any ideas how to fix that? We first thought we need to upgrade to higher SP level and we applied SP12. But still the status for 2006 or any other old appraisal is not pulling right.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,

""" On the portal "Status Overview" I-View for MSS --> Maintain Performance Documents, there is a property for employee evaluation period which needs to be set to "Yes". ""
how to change this property?
under content admin????
Thanks in advance.

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.

IView Appraisal Document not showing customer process step names.

the iView "Appraisal Document", after pressing the pushbutton to move to the next process step, shows the text
"status changed to 'In Review'" in the info area of the iView.
we have changed the names of the standard process steps using IMG "Define Tabs and Process Configuration for Template"
for instance we renamed "In Review" to "Progress Tracking".
the issue is the iView "Appraisal Document" still shows "status changed to 'In Review'" instead of showing "status changed to 'Progress Tacking'".
note: the names of the steps in the roadmap (on top of the iView) show correctly, it is just that the state transitions "Status changed to..." the names of steps show standard instead of customer steps.
any idea why?
Thanks,
Tiberiu

Hi,
My first advice would be to talk to customer out of this.
As a client using SAP you're using standard software which has predefined 'names' for certain things. The names of appraisal - statuses is one of them.
(I've never seen a client wanting to adopt the names of menu texts in Microsoft Office and personally I don't seen the difference. Of course, it will take some time for the client to get used to the new names but in a year or two, everybody is used to those terms).
If you don't succeed, there's no need to change programs. You'll need to change the values of the standard SAP - domain mentioed before.

How to set a performance appraisal doc to approved status in portal

Hi,
I'm trying to create a new appraisal document where once the document is marked 'complete' it is then allowed to be marked approved. I have configured the status flow tab to allow the pushbutton "approve" with a target status of "approved" to be used from the status of "completed". I have even set the person authorized field to "all users" for my testing. From the BSP pages on the portal I can mark the document complete as the appraiser, but then when the "approve" pushbutton appears it is all greyed out. I currently have it set to 'save and display' to see that. If I use 'save and exit' it is even removing the document from the TODO page for the appraiser.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to allow the appraiser to use this status button in portal? If I log-in as the appraiser in the GUI they do however have the approve button on phap_admin_pa.

Hi,
I don't think anyone is holding back knowledge, I think it's sometimes difficult to filter out "good" questions as opposed to "bad" questions...
In any case, I don't think it's possible to have different default templates, eg one for the portal and one for the "rest". I'm afraid you'll have to either change each one on the portal or use one for all.
Cheers,
Dion
