Objectives Setting Task for new Joiners

If the objectives setting period is from 01-Jan-2013 to 31-Mar-2013 and the appraisal period is from 01-Dec-2013 to 31-Dec-2013 it is understood that the objective setting period is closed on 31-Mar-2013. Now if there are new joiners during the year how can they set their objectives. I know that we can use the Enroll program to enroll them into a plan but this does not enable the set objectives task for the new joiners. This is urgent please advice.

Hi Careen,
The performance cycle starts with Objective setting and ends with Assessments. For example: If I am having the performance cycle from Apr to March then below will be the dates i will use for setups:
Plan period - 01-Apr-XXXX to 31-Mar-XXXX
Objective setting - This is the period you want the objective setting to be available to employees. In this case if the assessment starts in Jan then the dates for Objective setting will be
Objective start date - 01-Apr-XXXX and Objective end date - 31-DEC-XXXX
Appraisal start date can be always after the objective end date.
If the above concept is clear then for new joiners the best practice is that you re-publish the plan once every month on a specific date to include the new joiners in the plan automatically based on the eligibility profile. You can try this out very easily, publish your plan and post that create a new employee and re-publish the plan the newly created employee will get enrolled into the plan
Hope it helps. Let me know if you need further details.
Thanks,
Sanjay

ISSUE in basic pay arrears wage type for new joiners

Hi Experts,
I am facing an unusual issue as after executing payroll for new joiners from previous month(example: joining date 25.01.2015 & payroll execution date:28.02.2015) results not reflecting arrears wage types of basic pay but reflects /552 wage type and /ZF5 PF arrears wage type.
But this issue is not happening in case of salary revision or other action which affects salary from retro date ie. basic pay arrears wage types are reflecting in RT table.
Already analyzed similar existing discussions in the forum.
Kindly help me to get it resolved.
Thanks & Regards
Bindu...

As mentioned earlier check the parameters for payslip to bring the arrears on payslip, For your reference check the below image where similar case employee is joined in the month of January and payroll is executed in the month of Feb with arrears same wage types will appear on payslip this is standard functionality of SAP you can find out in the image with * with out * * indicates arrears.
let assume your basic pay is XXXX when arrears are there then another line appears with *XXXX indicates arrears similar to your case joined in the month of January and payroll executed in the month of February then one month arrears appear on payslip like above for each wage type.
This is completely integrated with payslip design and PC00_M40_CEDT parameters which we are using for Remuneration statement variant.
I hope you understand.

Business Object and tasks for Plant Maintenance

Hi,
I would like to know which object and method should I use to create the following tasks?
Inspect equipment to check if faulty
Replace equipmentCreate purchase order
Maintain equipmentCreate service order
Thank you.

Hi Arun,
Swtich on the event trace using tcode SWELS and then perform each of the operations you mentioned above. Then see the event trace using tcode SWEL to check which business object events and business objects are associated with these operations i.e. inspect equipment, replace equipment, maintain equipment etc.
Then you can drill down in those business objects using SWO1 tcode and check if there are any methods for your requirements or not.

Best set up for new imac?

In brief:
Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
Thanks.

Keep it simple . . . . project files (tiny) stored in default position on iMac and media files etc. on one or both of your external HDs.
You should have no problem daisy-chaining.
I use a cheap Belkin Firewire Hub (which some folks don't recommend) together with daisy-chaining for my 2 FW HDs, A-D Converter and cameras.

How to set remoteId for new PublishedCollection?

I am writing a PublishService plugin and I am stuck on how to properly implement creation of new Collections/CollectionSets.
When an existing PublishedCollection is changed (renamed and collection settings are changed) renamePublishedCollection and updateCollectionSettings are called in that order. This allows setting the new name and different collection settings for the PublishedCollection.
When a new PublishedCollection is created, only updateCollectionSettings is called. In this case the PublishedCollection lacks a remoteId (and there was no way to set it). Even if the remoteId is set inside this call, it ends up being overwritten by the caller of this function.
How did you guys worked around this?
Is there a chance for a change in 4.1 to call renamePublishedCollection after a new PublishedCollection creation and treat info.remoteId and info.remoteUrl as input parameters that are going to be persisted after this call returns?
Message was edited by: disht

I just put this code in my updateCollectionSettings() callback:
local collection = info.publishedCollection
if collection:getRemoteId() == nil then
   debug("Remote ID not set. Setting now....")
   collection.catalog:withWriteAccessDo( "Set Remote ID", function()
      collection:setRemoteId( "My Remote ID" )
   end)
else
   debugf("Remote ID set to '%s'", collection:getRemoteId() )
end
The first time through (after selecting 'Rename' from the published collection's context menu), this is logged:
DEBUG Remote ID not set. Setting now....
The second time through (after selecting 'Rename' again), this is what I see:
DEBUG Remote ID set to 'My Remote ID'
If you can't figure out what's going wrong, post your code and maybe someone here will spot the problem.

Initial Work status not set autmoatically for new created member

Hi,
if we create a new budget version, and process the category dimension we notice that the first work status (locked in our scenario) is not set automatically by default... As a result users can still input data for the new budget version. Only if we first change the work status of the new budget version (and put it back), the work status can be applied ...
Is this normal behavior?
Dries

Yes, I think what you're seeing is "normal" behavior -- it may not be what you want, though. In fact, I don't think this issue is limited to your creating a new member. It also applies to the existing members of your work status dimensions.
I had one project like this, where the customer wanted the default work status to be locked, and then for the finance administrator to explicitly open up the category & time period for users. We never got it to work in a really clean manner.
For the work status check to take effect, there must be records in the tblFinanceLock table (where Finance is the applcation name). And the only way that records normally get into that table is by changing the work status manually. We played around with a SQL script to populate that table, to automatically set the status to the first level (locked), but never found something that we were comfortable with.
I'd be curious to hear if someone's made something like that work well.

Since changing over to a new BT hub my iPad mini will not recognise an Epson XP printer although this worked fine with Sky. Printer and iPad set up for new hub and independently recognise hub

Since changing over to a new BT home hub, my iPad mini does not recognise an Epson XP 305 air printer although system worked well on previous Sky hub. Both printer and iPad set up and recognise hub independently. Has anyone come across this problem?

Objective Setting & Appraisals VS Appraisal System

Hello,
Trying to understand the meaning of customizing Objective Setting Appraisals instant of Appraisal System,
Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer all the old Appraisal Models (BS Object) into the new Appraisal Template (VA Object) ?
Another Question : Is it possible to continue using the old way (Appraisal System) with running projects and the Objective Setting & Appraisals for new needs? meaning - BAPIs like BAPI_APPRAISAL_CREATE \ CHANGE \ GETDETAILS will still work ?
thanks !

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.

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!

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

WAD-Analysis Item-Poor performance for new lines

Hi.
I use WAD7 for entering new records in IP.
According to our business requirements, in analysis item properties I have defined "Number of New Lines in Planning Queries" = 50.
After that I face before extremely poor performance - it takes about 1-2 minutes until the page has loaded (note that it is empty page - only new blank rows).
When I define new lines = 1 performance is very good (2-3 sec).
Does anybody know what could be the problem ?
Thanks.

Hello Andrey,
the number of new lines configured in WAD is completely unknown in the ABAP backend and has no impact on backend performance; in fact, the front end gets information about one 'line' of template cells, this costs nothing.
Checks for characteristic relationships etc. only may have significant costs for cells of the result set, not for new lines.
Whether this problem comes from the ABAP backed or form the Java stack or from the browser rendering can be checked
with an RSTT trace. Is the run time of the trace different between 1 or 50 new lines, were different backend calls recorded?
If not, the problem comes from the Java stack or from the browser rendering. One can check the latter via task manager.
To check (partially) the run time in Java and/or ABAP stack add the parameter &PROFILING=X in the url, cf. note 1048691.

Gregor

Quota credit on 1st of calendar year for existing employees and for new joinees on prorata basis

Dear All,
we are having an issue in quota generation, where casual leave quota should get credited on 1st of every calendar year and for mid month joiners on prorate basis. If we select calendar year it is crediting on 31st of calendar year, but we need it to be credited on 1st of January and also checking the prorate condition for new joiners.
So please guide on whether it is possible through standard or any work around solution. If so how can it be achieved.
Thanks
Vijaya

Hi,
check this one prorate basis -

CFolders Main Page - To show pending Tasks for approval

Hi,
When ever the user login to cFolders 4.5, they see the first page as My colloboration <User Name>. So from there they need to drill down to respective project and then to folders and then to documents to approve the pending drawings.
So the above involves at least 3 or 4 screens for them to go for the approval screen.
Is there anyway, when ever the approval user logs in, he/she should see only those pending tasks available for them to approve, so that they just approve and log out.
Regards,
Ani

Hi,
two methods to set task for approval as home page.
1.From super user login, u can set what ever page as home page for all users. only at front end u can change these settings. at right top corner settings tab provided.
2. second option is, user can set his/her home page as from his login only. its is based on individual user settings and these settings for home page will be different from user to user.
but in first case it wil be applicable for all users.
thanks

Design the New process set up for Materials in one physical stock plant

Hi Experts,
The requirement is one physical plant as two different logical plants in the system. The main issue is how to administrate or how to find the set up which allows one Physical warehouse in Hamburg which we have supplying two Logical warehouses in the system without having thru really physically separate the warehouses into two different ones. Materials physically will be only for one warehouse.
Requirement is for Design the New process set up for Materials in one physical stock serving plant into two different system plants.
Most of the things are pointing in the direction that order Backlogs will not be converted into new organization. We have backlogs for the material requirements for purchase orders, sales orders whatever we have in the current setup; then there will have all are new orders from the certain dates taking in the new organization set up. These backlogs are very long at least three to four years.
We would like to find some way to have the all the material requirements ending up in one basket instead of two baskets. That still be able to deliver at least in system point of view from two different baskets.
We need to do analysis on one physical stock serving plant into two different system plants that could be done either by material master data or as i understood that could be from PS side.
can any one please tell me how we can maintian this setup in the system.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
Brgds,
RK

RK,
Sorry, the creation of such an end-to-end solution is outside the scope of an online forum. Most consulting companies would send a multi-disciplinary team to perform this task, and would take several weeks to research your requirements, and come up with a prototype.
Sales order availability checking is described in SAP online help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/93/744b51546011d1a7020000e829fd11/frameset.htm
I will say this. If your goal is to have two plants, with two company codes, and you wish to only procure or produce in one of the plants, then generally I would recommend using Special Procurement via Stock Transport Order (in standard SAP, Special Procurement 40). This based on a very small knowledge of your requirements. I have already cited the Sap online help for special procurement.
SAP online help for Warehouse management is at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c6/f8386f4afa11d182b90000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
As you begin to read the required topics, I am certain you will realize that this task is beyond the capability of an untrained person. I again suggest that you search for professional consulting services to assist you in this project. It will be money well spent.
I am now closing my responses to this thread. Good luck in your project!
