Objective Setting processes help

Hi
When an employee forgets to complete his objective setting process ,then how he can re start the setting process !
What i thought was we can check the allow outside these dates while setting up objective setting process.But what happens for all the employees who has set their objectives already !
How we can set a dead line if allow the dates are allowed outside the period !!
How can we restric these activity only for the employees who hasn't initiated their process !
If we publish again this template ,then it would be notified to teh employees who has completed thier objective setting process !
what could be the best way to attain this scenario !! Can we allow objective Setting process out side the period dates ? If we do so how we can restrict the objective setting process to a perticular date !!!
If we republish the objective again which would allow the employees who has already completed the objectives.But anyway it would go for the approval to the manager !! cause it would be burdenfull activity for the manager to check and approve !! Is there a way to restrict this !! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated !!!

This is an area that causes a lot of problems!
To allow people to set objectives when they have missed the deadline, you have to extend the objective setting period. But, you can only do this if the appraisal task period is not open. So if you had objective setting 01/01/09 - 28/02/09, then appraisals 01/03/09 - 31/03/09, you could only reset the objective setting period to after 31/03/09.
I would have thought that resetting the score cards would reopen the objective setting tasks for all, but the other rules about what stage the objective setting is at would also apply. For example, if the employee had set the objectives and transferred them to the manager then that is the status still after the period is reopened.
However, there was a well documented bug about this. Rather than regurgitate the details here, take a look at MetaLink article *564305.1* entitled Modify Published Performance Management Plans and Extend the Objective Setting Deadline. It explains about a problem with the mass appraisal generation program which caused objectives to be lost!
Hope that helps, but you'll find that there are so many variables involved in this process that there can be many different answers to the question.
Good luck!

Objective Setting process Need Inputs

Hi All
When I try to set my Objectives setting process , Steps to reproduce the problem
1 Objective Template Created 05-mar-2009
2 Competecncy Template created 05-mar-2009
3 Appraisal Template created 05-mar-2009 Cascade process and position Hierarchy has been chopsen while publishing the plan.
PLan period is 05-mar-2009 tp 31-mar-2009.
My objective setting period is 05-mar-2009 end date is 10-mar-2009
I have publsihed the plan and it's been notified to the respective as per eligibility profile.
Now Manager has set his objectives using Employee self service and finished his objectives.Now he has to cascade these objectives to his reportees via Manager self service.
Manager has completed his processes and finshed his objective setting processes.
He has chosen Manager Responsibility to cascade the Objectives to his subordinates.
But he is not able to see the objectives or the Employees who comes unders him.But I am able to see the people in his hierarchy by using the functions view people people in appraisal hierarchy.
Now what and where the things were went wrong !!
Am i missing any set procedures !!!
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Kumar

You need to login as the topmost person in the position hierarchy. and then set objectives for the sub-ordinates.
The sub ordinates can then assign these objectives down the line.
make sure the objective setting process is complete for them before they can assign objectives to the next level.

Objective Setting Process

Hi Experts,
We are implementing Objectice Setting and Appraisal using portal and workflow. Appraisal will be carried out using three level supervisors hierarchy.
My first question in this context is as how the appraisal document will move to all the three supervisors in ESS for evaluation?
Is it based on the supervisors shown on the individual appraisal document? I mean based on the supervisors name/details after the appraisal documents have been prepared/created using the transcation phap_prepare or phap_create.
Sincere Thanks,
Prakash.

Dear Chetan,
Thanks for your reply. But my question is yet to be resolved. As you also know that during the In-Preparation phase the appraisal documents are prepared/created based on the OM structure. In the standard SAP using PHAP_REPARE transaction the system creates the appraisal document upto only one supervisor level (offcourse based on OM structure) therfore if I attach the workflow event in the template the form can move upto one supervisor level, but how will the same appraisal form will move to other two supervisors if it does not have their(supervisors) details.
Please share your views.
Regards,
Prakash.

Talent Management - Objective Setting Aprpoval - One more Level

Hi,
Objective Settings to be approved by both immediate manager and the second higher manager. But, now, only the immediate manager can approve it. I read the doc id Note:550338.1. But, is there any workaround for this? Can we attach custom workflow to this? so that it goes to second higher manager for approval?
Thanks in advance

Hi
We have had this discussion outside the forum, but I have added my comments here in case they are useful to others.
I have read note 550338.1 and I think you would wait a long time for this to be made part of the standard process!
The objectives setting process is either PARALLEL or CASCADING. PARALLEL means that the employee starts the process and the manager has to ‘agree’ the objectives. This agreement is done as a task in the PMP, rather than a response to a notification for approval.
I guess I need to understand WHY you need 2 approvers?
If you use the CASCADING model, then you are cascading objectives down from the top of the organisation and adapting them to lower level conditions. For example, CEO says ‘cut costs by 10%”. This objective might translate to ‘Cut Supplier costs by 10%’ when given as an objective to the Finance Director. He then sets objectives to his subordinates and links them to his own. For example, he sets the Purchasing Manager the objective of “Renegotiate contracts with suppliers”.
When you use cascading, you are implicitly approving the objectives because they are created from the top down.
You asked if you could create a custom workflow to control the second approval. Even if you did this (which I would not recommend), you would have problems with the way that the tasks are sent to and from managers and employees. I don’t think the user interface would support this.
As with all e-Business Suite implementations, the art is to make use of what it does well and not to customise the bits that don’t do what you want! This invariably leads to trouble!
Hope this helps

Tim

Appraisal process Help Urgent

Hi all
I have created one Employee ,supervisor and Reviwer.
Now I have created Objective template start 24-feb-2009 to 25-feb-2009
Now i have published the plan start 25-feb-2009 to 28-feb-2009.
I have choosed Cacading process while creating objective template.
Now I have some questions
When i publsih the plan as expected Supervisor initiated the Objective process.then It went on well .When Emplyee submited and it came to appraiser .when appraiser approved it doesn't come to Reviewer.to achieve do i require to have any AME rules !!
I am on R 12.0.4.
On 24-feb-2009 As a employee i have started Standard appraisal and it went to appraiser and he approved .
Then it doesn't come to Reviwer as i expected.While publshing the plan i have chosen supervisor hierarchy and i left blank Hierachy filed to flow to all the people in the hierarchy.
Am i missing something here !!!
Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

When you are creating the PMP, in the appraisal section, you select a template and then give the dates and other details. One of them is the field called Initiator. This has two values - Appraiser and Appraisee. Depending on the value you have selected, the appraisal will either start with the Appraiser or the Appraisee.
So for Objective setting you have Cascading or Parallel and for Appraisal you have Appraiser or Appraisee.
To get the status of the appraisals, you can use the Monitor icon for the PMP.
UK HRMS Manager -> Career Management -> Performance Management Plans -> Search for the plan.
There will be a monitor icon.
Select that and you will be able to see the status of the Objective setting process and the appraisal process as well. This will give you the statistics like how many has started, how many as completed etc.
But to know who has completed and who has not, you need to query in the databse tables to get the employee names etc.

Is it possible to configure Team calibration for Objective Setting Appraisals in EHP7

Hi Friends,
We are on EHP7. We have implemented objective setting appraisal for our client.
We have created an appraisal template under category group "Personnel appraisals". We have configured the VA, VB, VC, Column ids. Status tab flow is used from In preparation - Completed.
The enhancements are used to accommodate customer specific calculations for the scores based on the final ratings.
An additional requirement from the client is; once the appraisal process is over for a team; the team manager should be able to see the scores of his direct reportees in the MSS.
1) He should be given a provision to modify the final rating score; incase if he finds that one of the team members deserve a better score in line with the comparison of other team members. He should be able to call the template and be able to revise the final ratings from his MSS directly.
2) When he modifies the final ratings by calling the appraisal template on the MSS; that new score should be stored in the appraisal template (database tables); that is; this should overwrite the final scores which was initially calculated during the final appraisal discussion between the apprasier and appraisee. This new values should be taken for all reporting or new compensation revision process.
Should this requirement be addressed by Assessment of Employees and Calibration Process for Employee Assessments standard configurations?
If that is the option; I have already done these settings for flexible performance appraisal.
But in the MSS > under Talent Management > Assessment
We are getting a blank screen in the "In process & Completed " tabs. No employee is listed.
The calibration grid is empty. But under under talent profile; we are able to see the names of the team members.
Is there any other method available for this purpose ?
Request your comments on options to deliver this functionality.
Thanks.
ER.

Hi Srujan,
For every paying company code you can have multiple sending company codes.
You can make this configuration in FBZP > Paying company codes tab.
Once in 'Paying company codes', here click on 'Company codes' button on top right.
This means you will need all the FBZP setup for your paying company code only.
Also, please refer to below link to configure cross company settings

Error while saving for Objective setting

Hi,
While saving the Objective setting templates i am getting the error as "Table HRPAD605 is not part of the Customizing object PDST T "
Error documentation is as follows
Diagnosis
Entries in table HRPAD605 cannot be edited in connection with customizing object PDST T as table HRPAD605 does not belong to customizing object PDST T, according to the object definition.
System Response
The function terminates.
Procedure
Check whether the entered objects and keys are correct.Then check in the Implementation Guide whether the object was created correctly.
Correct the object definition or the entry for the Transport Organizer interface.
Thanks

Hello,
Most likely the is an inconsistency with the transport objects PDST and PDWS. Please run RHSOBJCH to correct this inconsistency.
Afterwards you should be able to transport the templates via the catalog or via RHMOVE30. Please make sure that the category ID in the target system is the same otherwise you won't be able to locate the template.
The report RHSOBJCH corrects the missing HR entries in the OBJS table.
This step you need to perform only once. For OSA you need to overtake
*5020 up to *5026, also PAD605,606 and 607 references.
When you have done this (as said, only need to do it once) you can transport the categories and templates via the phap_catalog_pa transaction (righ-mouse click on the to be transported object).
Hope this helps,
Regards and Groetjes,
Maurice

Update Objective Setting & Appraisals(Received) tab in PA20

Hi all,
I am currently working on OSA appraisal. I managed to create appraisal. How can i update the Objective Setting & Appraisals(Received) and Objective Setting & Appraisals(Created) tab in PA20, infotype 25 ?
Appreciate your all help.
Thank you.

Hi Binu,
I am not entirely clear about your requirement, but in OOHAP_VALUE_TYPE, for a specific proficiency value, if you have maintained a description for the value under 'Value description' then it will be displayed on the form within the 'Info' button.
Regards,
Priya.

Transport an Appraisal and Objective Setting Template

Note the following advice pertaining to transporting an appraisals and objective setting template (I have not found documentation about this anywhere else, so hopefully some of you find this useful):
Scenario:
You have maintained your templates in PHAP_CATALOG_PA in the main config client, and you have transported all other configurations (basic settings, etc.) to your unit test/integration test environment.
However, although you have right-clicked the category groups and templates to be transported and included them in a transport request, you find that only some of your configuration (or perhaps none at all!) is arriving in the target client when the transport is performed.
You may initially be able to work around this by downloading/uploading your config, but once your templates contain more complex configuration (such as using dynamic element references, etc.) you will find that this is no longer a feasible approach.
Cause & Resolution:
The problem is caused by outdated information in the workflow definition environment (transaction SWU3), and specifically the section labeled "Check Entries from HR Control Tables".
Run transaction SWU3, expand tree node "Maintain Definition Environment" (which should be marked with a red cross at this stage) and click on "Check Entries from HR Control Tables". The information presented in the right-hand pane indicates that:
If there are errors regarding the transport objects PDST or PDWS, the relevant entries are not maintained in table SOBJ. You can use the report RHSOBJCH to rectify this later.
Proceed as suggested and run report RHSOBJCH (through SE38 or SA38) in the config client (i.e. where the templates are to be transported from). This has no side-effects I am aware of other than updating the reference information required.
If you now run SWU3 again you should find that the "Check Entries from HR Control Tables" node is marked with a green tick.
Simply go back to the catalog, include your cat.groups & templates in a transport again, and Voila! Our work here is done.
Happy transporting...
Side-note: You may ask (as I did) what transporting of appraisal templates has to do with workflow, but it just so happens that the PD objects and infotypes associated with appraisals (VA, VB, VC, etc.) are transported through the same mechanism as workflow templates (which are also PD objects). if you peek inside the transport you will note that everything to do with the template and category group configuration is bundled inside PDWS and PDST transport objects...

Hi Abe,
what is the appraisal process you are talking about? The new stuff in ep4 where you define the process and steps which create the roadmap at the top of the document? if so SAP does not have a great straightforward solution, but they did provide us some options.
you can check out this thread and if you want I can send you the full document that is referred to in the post.

Setting processes parameter

hi guys...
i'm using db rel 10.2.0.1 enterprise edition, windows server 2003 (32-bit) , on an average work day, about 150 users are connected through the application server to the database.
how does one know the appropriate value to set the "processes" parameter? what exactly does it depend on?
oracle documentaion doesn't help much, so if anybody can help, it would be really appreciated.

The Process parameter depends sort of on Sessions parameter. So if the number of sessions are 150 than settings Processes parameter to about 300 should be okay. There is no guidelines as such available which mentions how many to set. This is sort of a test-try kind of thing.
You can check a view though, V$RESOURCE_LIMIT to check that if you set Processes to N number, how many of them are actually being used by your db?

Multiple transports in Code Inspector object set

I'd like to be able to put a Code Inspector object set together with multiple transports and my current version (46c)only supports a single input. Anyone know how to input multiple transports?
Tim Barrow
ADP

Tim,
Even the current version (7.0) supports just one transport request. Looks like that is ruled out, then.
You could use the first tab (Select object set) to include multiple packages? Or you could use the 'free selection' to specify objects..
Hope this helps.
