PMS Logging Appraisal document changes

Hi Experts,
We are letting both manager and manager's manager to change the final rating. One of our requirement is to log the changes made in final rating column so that when we can track who had changed the rating and what was the previous rating.
Is this by default possible or we need to enable logging at template configuration level?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks
Karthik

Hi,
As we have selected speical and detaild option, used SLG1 transaction to check the log it only shows the changed by and date , i want to see the objectives entered and changed as well.
Is there a way to check this.
Thanks

PMS Unlocking Appraisal documents

Hi all
We like to unlock all the locked appraisal documents for every half an hour.
For the above functionality our ABAPer has written a Z program to unlock all the appraisal documents and wanted it to be scheduled for every half an hour.
Functionality of the above program.
1) Go to Tcode PHAP_ADMIN and execute.
2) Go to the tab Goto-> Locked appraisal documents, Then it will show all the locked appraisal documents.
3) Select all the locked appraisal documents and then press unlock, then all the appraisal documents will be unlocked.
The same above functionality is incorporated the program, so if it is scheduled for every half an hour,then the appraisal documents will be open to the employees for every half an hour.
As the process is not any way related to SM12 TCode (which consists of all the locked objects),the other objects other than Appraisal documents will not be unlocked.
Goto-> Locked appraisal documents is only specific for the appraisal documents.
But as per our knowledge SAP Standard is unlocking all the appraisal documents for every one hour.
If we schedule this Z Program for every half an hour, then both the standard and the Z Program will clash for every hour which is not required.
Can any one tell me where to change that one hour limit to half an hour in the standard it self.
or will there be any problem if both the programs clashes for every hour
Please let me know how SAP Unlocks the Appraisal Documents for every hour, (Using a background job or Is it a configuration)If it is a background job please let me know the standard job, so that we can change the time of the standard job.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Ana
I have searched the Tcode RZ11, there for the parameter what you have specified, the value is 1800 seconds.
But when I observed in the system, I have logged in to the portal, we are displaying the appraisal document through a custom BSP application.I opened the appraisal document, then in the back end it is locked, after that I have kept the portal session idle for 1 hour. Later after 1 hour I have noticed that the appraisal document was unlocked but the portal session is still active(not Auto logged off). By this observation I think that there might be no connection between auto logoff parameter and Unlocking appraisal documents.
I have gone through other parameters in the table TPFYPROPTY, but I couldn't able to find out the actual parameter.
I think the parameter might be of the type Enqueue, because it is regarding locking.
Can you please help me out in this issue or provide me any document related to the parameters and their working.
Regards
Avinash.

Change mode for 'further participant;' in appraisal document

hi!
My goal is to change HAP_DOCUMENT BSP to allow Further Participants(FP) to change goal setting and appraisal documents.
for this i am changing the page document.where.participated.htm to enable the FP to change document(employee columns ONLY (objectives, checkboxes, employee assessment))for this i redirected the next page to 'change documnet'. Now i am able to change the appraisal document when i login as a further participant and if i am both the appraiser and apparisee. For the appraiser documents for which i am not the appraiser and appraisee, i am not able to change the fields in the document. I did some reasearch on this and came to know that some badis need to be used for this functionality.
Please advice If anyone came across such scenario.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thank you

It's Strange. Where you have impleneted the Col Access Code..in the BADI / in ur BSP Page itself?
The objective Settings also can be controlled by COL_ACCESS BADI.Find out the name of the columns in HRHRAP* Tables & change the visibility.

Appraisal Document: Wrong entries in action log

Hi Gurus,
For some appraisal documents, the action log is getting wrong entries.
For example, it appears several entries. Those entries identify persons that have seen the document. I have an example that several employees have seen the same document at the same day the same time, which has not happened.
I am using standard implementation for action log.
I cannot find a pattern for that...
Have you faced the same situation? Can you help me, please?
Many thanks,
Vasco Brandã

Hi Vasco,
Another customer had some problems with the log and it was solved with note 1476829 (it corrected a different issue but it made changes on the log fucntionality as well).
Try this note and if you still have problem after that then I suggest you open a message for this as it might be a bug.
Cheers

How to change Font size and alignment in Appraisal document - Font settings

Dear Eperts,
We are working on 360 Appraisal. Can Any body explain how to change the fornt size and allignment (text wrapping to wndow size) in Appraisal document.
Thanks and Regards,
Ajaykumar

Hello Ajaykumar,
if I am not completely mistaking the 360° Appraisal uses the Adobe Forms.
In this case the font can be set in the Adobe Live Cycle Designer by selecting "Palettes" -> "Font".
Here is a discussion which addresses this question, and also contains a link to how to handle Adobe Forms:

BADI for changing Appraisal document application name for Web dynpro ABAP

Hi,
For Appraisal document customizing through PHAP_CATALOG_PA, We have BADI HRHAP00_BSP_TMPL to change the BSP application name which can be used in Web layout for output display. Using this we can change application name from HAP_DOCUMENT to custom BSP application name
Similarly, what is the BADI for changing Web dynpro ABAP applictaion name? Currently its triggering HAP_MAIN_DOCUMENT.
how do we change application name to some custom web dynpro application name
Regards,
Kothand

Hi Karim,
I don't know, if there is any chance to get the Webdynpro application name. At least in the ABAP System fields is no information about the webdynpro application name.
One remark: I have allways problems with BAPIS / BADIS that behave different depending on the caller. Could it be a good idea to pass some information through the interface / parameters?
Best regards

Document change via workflow log.......

Dear all
In our scenario, I am creating a word document in workflow.After creation its going to first level approver for his decision.consider he is not executed the doc.
When I check the status of document from the workflow log(from :Work item executed by me), its allowing me to change the doc.If I made any changes its updating the document,which is already waiting for decision.......Is this correct?Is there any possibilities to restict the document changes from the workflowlog view?
Not only for Word doc.......other doc also.........

I feel you can restrict this by putting some authorization. May be there is something you can restrict in the HOLD Document option.
Thanks

Changing Look and Feel of Annual Appraisal document

Hi all,
I have the requirement to change the look and feel of Annual Appraisal document.
I need to add a header to the first column in Appraisal document.
I am confused as to where the changes are to be made (In HAP_DOCUMENT,Annual template or BSP code)
Have checked most of the blogs and threads in forums,but no help yet.
Please let me know where the changes have to made and how?
Thanks and Regards,
Sumangala

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I checked "Document_header.htm" as you mentioned.
It agian points to few other header files such as "Document_header_appraisee.htm","Document_header_appraiser.htm" .
When i go and check these files, the code refers to settings no of columns,rows. No link to Header text anywhere.
From where these headers are set actually.Any configuration in template or header text are written in the code only?
and also curious to know what this line refers to
"<%= otr(PAOC_HAP_DOCUMENT_UI/TEXT_ADDITIONAL) %> <%= APPLICATION->doc-S_HEADER_TEXTS-OTHER_TYPE_TXT %>"

Avinash

Hi,
Why would you want to do this? This is dangerous and can cause major inconsistencies. The standard unlocks in the web after 30 minutes as per default, but thats a configuration setting.
I would not recommend to have this report running in a productive environment.

PMS - OSA: Creation of appraisal document

Hi Experts,
While creating the appraisal document we have to mention "validity period" and "execution period".
Kindly explain the difference between the both periods.
1. Do we need to mention validity period and execution period same, while creating appraisal document?.
2. In which scenario we can mention different validity period and execution period, while creating appraisal document?.
Thanks and Regards,
Harish

Hi Harish,
1. Validation Period refers to the period of the appraisal. For example, you may create an appraisal document for an employee for his/hers performance in the year of 2013 - in that case the validation period may be 01.01.2013 until 31.12.2013.
You may refer to the Validation Period as the BEGDA and ENDDA of the appraisal document (similar to HR Infotypes).
The execution period is the period in which the appraiser can access the document and assess the appraisee. For Example, you can determine the Execution Period as 01.09.2014 - 30.09.2014 -in that case the appraiser/s can edit the document only in these dates.
2. Validation Period is mandatory. Execution Period is optional.
Regards,
Liran

Other Users need access to Appraisal Documents in OSA

Hi,
We are implementing Objective Setting and Appraisals and have found that when a user logs into the Portal, they are only able to enter Appraisal documents where they are the Appraisee or Appraiser.
We have the need to allow other users to enter Appraisal documents, for example, the Next Higher Supervisor. When they log into the Portal, they can see all their subordinates, but it looks like no one has an appraisal document, when in fact, they do.
What do we need to change to allow these extra users to be able to see that appraisal documents do exist so that they can select them?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary Ann Kolnik

Hi Rachel,
Hopefully I will answer your questions.
We currently have a custom implementation of the column owner badi because we found that the choices delivered (AE-for appraisee only, AR-for appraiser only, etc.) were not enough for us. We determined that our requirements for column access needed an owner of the appraisee sometimes and an owner of appraiser sometimes and possibly even other participants (like a Power User, Delegate, etc.). So, right now we created an AL choice for 'All Users' and then in the column owner method check_column_owner, we have code to see if 'myself' is the appraisee, the appraiser, or a further participant.
If he's the appraisee, we pass an 'E' in the export parameter column_owner. If he's the appraiser, we pass an 'R', and so forth.
Then we have these values in our custom zcol_access table. This is so that the column access badi can pull the column availability from zcol_access for the particular column_owner per column/status/substatus. This allows for columns to be hidden, display only, or changeable for particular people at particular status/substatuses. We do have the template field also in the zcol_access table so you could separate the column access per template also.
I hope this makes sense. It is working for us so far, now the issue is how to get the further participants to be able to enter the correct set of appraisals and get the right columns and custom pushbuttons. We would like to use the hrhap_others table, because it works well with our column owner and column access design, but our further participants can change their roles often, so we don't want them permanently tied to an appraisal. More research and trial and error needed.
