Question on Team appraisal

Question

I have a question on the team appraisal. We have unique situation here.
A person ( employee ) from the team needs to maintain the appraisal document for the entire team for monthly result inputs achieved by the team.
So we should only have one appraisal document per manager or org unit. I selected the check box for multiple appraisees ( in phap_catalog_pa -> Appraisal template -> Processing tab ). Is this setting enough to achieve this requirement ?
I need some guidance on this.

Answer 1

A member of the team. Manager can nominate this person
An additional idea here:  Have the manager use MSS to generate the form.  The appraisee he chooses can be the "nominated" person to have input on the form.  
You can then definitely use a BADI to automatically add the entire team as "further participants" on generation of the form. 
We are debating on this. I am recommending to have a custom relation ship ( say, is proxy between manager's position and employees position). Lets say, if there is no "rule" , what happens?
If you go with the approach I just mentioned you can avoid a custom relationship and additional data maintenance.  It also gives flexiblity, if you want to add additional appraisees or change the appraisee it can be done through phap_admin transaction very easily. 
This is not the case . We will have one form for the entire year. There will be 12 criteria groups , say january evaluation, Feb evaluation and objectives (criteria ) will created for each. The person maintaining will input the montly result achieved.
One idea here to experiment with, is to create a whole slew of sub-status in the "In Planning" or "In Review" phase.  Based on the substatus you can control who gets notified (email notifications to participants), who can edit when (appraisee vs appraiser), and who can see what when (further participants). 
For each month you can create a substatus "Jan - Emp Review" --> "Jan - Mgr Approval"  --> "Feb - Emp Review" -- > "Feb mgr review" ...... --> End of Year Appraisal "
One question - Most of the standard workflow are either for appraisee / appraiser - what is the scope of further participant in terms of workflow ?
i don't think there is any standard workflow for "further appraisers", but technically it sounds like all you would need is a notification by email.  here you don't need email, you can SMTP from program.  The BADI can be called anytime the document status has been changed. 
good luck, let us know how this solution proceeds!
