Performance Appraisal-Issue with Restrcited template

Question

Hello
I am trying to prepare appraisal document via tcode PHAP_PREPARE_PA. The system proposes three options:
- Prepare Appraisal Docs with Template, Appraiser, Appraisee
- Prepare Appraisal Docs with Organizational Units
- Prepare Appraisal Docs with Restricted Templates
Questions:
Q1 What is the difference between 2 and 3 above?
Q2 Is there any documentation that explains each option in detail?
Q3 Is there a place where we configure the evaluation path each option takes?
Q4 When I use the option "Prepare Appraisal Docs with Restricted Templates" and select the org unit/appraisal template, I get the following message:
Object 01 VA 99912314 not found
Message no. HRHAP00_TEMPLATE007
What am I missing? Your timely assistance would be immensely helpful.
Many thanks in advance,
