Requisition Status in e-Recruiting

Dear Experts,
In e-Rec (we are using BSP), a manager creates a requisition and then sends for approval to approve the status to a recruiter(support team). The approver releases the requisition. However, in one of our instances, manager goes back to the released requisition and changes the status to closed and again sends for approval.
Now the approver cannot see the requisition in the 'Approval' link but is able to see it in the 'Maintenance' link. In the maintenance link, he cannot approve the latest status as it is disabled (locked).
Now the question is how to unlock or delete such requisition which has the Requested status closed/on hold/withdrawn etc. Because neither the manager nor the recruiter/support team is able to edit or change the status.
PS: A manager can set the status u2018to be deletedu2019 only if the requisition is in the u2018draftu2019 or u2018releasedu2019 status. But in this case, manager has put the released requisition status to u2018closedu2019 which is locked for any change.
Request your inputs in this regard.
Regards
Sushma

I understand that the Req Title is generated upon creation. However, the user can still search for and select a Job or Position for the Requisition.
The order of the Org Data tab should be irrelevant. I was hoping that someone had created a mechanism by which the Req Title could be updated as mentioned upon save of the Org Data tab in the container sequence. In this scenario, the req title would change anytime the org data (job/position) was changed, which is logical given that req title corresponds to the job/position title (based on our naming convention).
Thanks for the input.

Requisition status - E-Recruitment

Hi,
When does the job requisition status changes to closed?Does it changes automatically once the person is hired or it should be closed manually?

In standard this has to be maintained manually by the recruiter / recruiting team in charge of the requisition. It highly depends on the customer process if there is a chance of doing some customer development to add some automatical function there.

Automatic refresh requisition status overview in MSS e-recruiting

Hi guys,
We are implementing e-recruiting 6.0 and de MSS functionality to request a requisition with approvals. The manager can see his/her requests in the requisition status overview to follow-up. If we create a new requisition, the list is only updated with this after you close the browser and log back in in the portal. Is there any way to activate the automatic refresh of this list?
Thanks
Karolien

Nilesh,

Can we release the requisition twice in E-recruitment?

Hi,
The Restricted Recruiter has released the requisition and waiting for the approval.
From the below status history...
Date            |    Time    |   Name                                             |    Status        |     Status Reason
13.08.2009   |   09.03   |   David                                             |    Draft          |
18.08.2009   |   16:31   |   Workflow Performance Manager |   Released    |      New Position
18.08.2009   |   16:34   |   David                                             |    Draft          |
We can see that the first time 13.08.2009 09:03 the Requisition was in Draft and then it was released and sent to the approver;
Then the approver has approved the requisition on 18.08.2009 16.31 and again the recruiter has changed some details and
we can see it in draft status as on 18.08.2009 16:34 after this he has released the requisition
Which is yet to be approved.
Now it is not allowing to edit the requisition status? why does this happen?
There is one more thing complicating the approval process - the approval goes only to the Lead Recruiter who is a Lead recruiter at the moment when the requisition is being released. If we add another lead recruiter/update the current lead recruiter in the requisition, the new person will not see the requisition for approval.
It might be due to the workflow being triggered once and not again when the support team is updated.
Please let me know if there is any way how to trigger the workflow again (even from the backend) to avoid these two situations.
Thanks and Regards,
Rashmi

Hi Rashmi,
the first íssue is a question of process design. Some customers say that every change has to be approved others say that if the requisition was approved once it should be done even if someone makes minor changes afterwards. Of you do not want to run the approval process again and again you can build a workflow which auto approves the requisition if it has been in status released at least once. I have done this for a customer and it worked fine.
The issue for who sees a workitem for approval is due to the general princible of direct person assignment of tasks in e-recruitng. So the approval is only send to one user. A dialog workitem has always a group of peaple who are allowed to process the task, a group which is assigned to process the task, a number of people who are responsible for the task (all people who are allowed and assigned) and in the end one who is actuall processing it.In standard the assigned user should be the lead recruiter while you need all lead recruiters. this should be developable for a wf developer.
Kind regards
Roman

Not updating status of Purchase requisition status

Dear Friends,
Our client has got third party software interface with SAP.We create Purchase requisitions in SAP,doc type-NB and PRs are also created in Third party software and it will create Purchase requisitions with starting with number ZR in SAP automatically.
When PRs with NB type are created and RFQs are created with reference to PRs and POs with reference to RFQs,then status of RFQ and PO is displaying in Purchase requisition status tab at item details.
But PRs created by Interface Purchase requisitions status under item details tab i.e.ZR is not updated with RFQ and PO status.
For updating Purchase requisition status, is there any setting in customisation,the samething we need to do for PRs for Third party soft in SAP.
Please suggest what needs to done
Regards,
Magana

PR active signifies that all relase procedure is complete and the PR is being in use.
Status field indicates whether the PR is in release, prartial release, complete release or whether PR is refused to release.
Soon after complete release status gets chaged to active and if not subjected to release startegy, then soon after completing the creation of PR, status becomes active.

BAdI for during new requisition creation in e-recruiting

Hi,
How to check what BAdI being called when new requisition created in e-recruiting?
Given BAdI HRRCF00_GET_ASSIGNED_SGR to add support group when new requisition is created.
But the BAdI was not triggered after i created new requisition in e-recruiting.
Greatly appreciate for any helps/comments.
Thanks.

E-Recruiting specific BADIs are not called in functions which are built in the ABA.
E-Recruiting BADIs are just used in E-Recruiting functions and classes.
The support team group BADI belongs to the new Manager process implemented in the new MSS scenario.
The easiest way to assign a support team to a requisition automatically, is by implementing a workflow, which is triggered by ERC_OBJECT ObjectCreated.
This will automatically assign anything you want. But in this case you will have the problem, that you can just assign a generic support group to a requisition, because no data was entered before.
Another possibility is enhancing a specific BSP-Application by using the enhancement framework. Post-Exists on class methods might help you. But you need to identify that specific BSP application, which is called during the specific save you need in order to have the right criteria provided.
Regards.

E-Recruiting : Requisition status

Dear experts ,
Please throw some light on the following thoughts :
I can see that if the object NB has status draft,released,on hold or closed, i can assign candidates to the Requisition.
Is this the standard system behaviour? or have i missed something here.
Can someone explain the need/provision to assign candidates to a requisition when it is in status Draft, On Hold or Closed?
Thanks in advance,
Sowmya

Hello Sowmya,
I'll give you two answers please choose which you like.
The scientific process focused one
- it is necessary to assign applicants / candidates to requisition in status draft if you want to evaluate if a publication of the requisition is necessary or if you are confident to do the hiring based on your candidate pool only. In addition assignment must be able when you are redoing requisition and posting for better applicant address or changed requirements. This also requires status draft while the exisiting hiring process has to continue.
- it is necessary to add applicants to the requisition in status closed if you have already closed it as you thought you were finished but in the last moment the candidate does not show up. Espacially combined with mass hiring where a single requisition means many positions filled this can be a valid issue (often happens with apprentices). If you use the approval process it is often very handy to not set the status back to released as it would require new approval which makes no sense.
- adding candidates in status on hold is used to put spontaneous applicants to requisitions wich soon will be open (as far as the on hold is temporary) so you do not loose a suitable candidate int the depths of the candidate pool where it gets probably lost.
The unscientific but probably true one
- if you ever would have worked in hr you would have learned that no matter what is done for process design (which is often done by organization experts of hr the other hr guys do not like) recruiter will not give a s*** about the processes. They will do what they think it is right. Process designs do not care. But to be fair this is not only caused be the hr guys but by the field of work. You can define a process which requires 2 screenings and 4 tests for hiring and still the upper management shows up with a candidate and says "hire him!". So a real process flow control in a sense of the restriction of action posibilities will fail. So the reason for the status of requisition is not to say you can assign someone or not, it is more a guideline how far the process is and to filter them in the lists. You can assign a candidate whenever you want as not recruiter would accept a stronger restriction.
Best Regards and Happy E-Recruiting

Problem with Restricted Recruiter Requisition Status Change Approval Proces

Hello,
Our company is having a problem with Recruiters recieving any approval notifications for requisitions where the status change is performed by someone logged on as a Restricted Recruiter. The approval notification never appears in the Recruiters approval page. The Restricted Recruiter is able to submit the request without any problems.
I was hoping that someone could help point me in the right direction so that I may begin troubleshooting this.
Thanks for your assistance.
Ryan

I have been doing some digging on this matter on E-Recruiting workflow and have discovered transaction SWI2_FREQ (Work Items per Task), very useful. Upon running this utility I found 8 pending approval request tasks. I double clicked on the task to show the workflow status of each task.
I double clicked on one of the request for status change tasks for a requisition which took me to the approval request for status change of Req ########. Here I clicked on the activities tab selected the activities tab, selected the activity Approval request for status change of Requisition ######## then clicked on the execute icon.
Doing this opened up a new web browser and prompted me to login. Using the correct login credentials for this environment I click the login button and promptly recieve the error message...
Error in Web service execution
E:SWF_HTTP:050 TS51807979
At this point I am unsure of where to go...
Any help would be appreciated.

E-Recruitment - Requisition not visible in Recruiter Dashboard

Hi,
We have configured the E-Recruitment (HR_MSSRCF_REQUISITION) process and are using the standard workflow to route it to Manager.
The steps we have followed is as follows;
1. The requisition is created and sent it to Manager for approval.
2. Manager is able to open and approve the requisition
3. The Data is saved to the Database
4. Support groups are defined (HRP5151) and releavant lead recruiter is assigned (HRP5131) but when check the dashboard of the lead recruiter, the requisition isn't available.
Please let me know, if there are any additional steps to be performed.
Thanks,
Roopesh

Hello,

E-Recruitment - Issue in Requisition Approval, flow to Recruiter

Hi All,
Im using standard WF 45600028 for requisition approval.
The request when created by Manager is going for approval to his supervisor and Supervisor in turn is able to approve the request, but the its not reaching recruiter.
When i verified Requisition monitor of the MSS view, then i see the request in "Draft" mode instead of "Released".
I feel this is the reason why recruiter is unable to see the requisition coming from Workflow.
Can someone help me change the status?
Thank you.
Pranitha

Hey Thanks Siddharth,
Anyways, my problem is resolved. What i mean on Recruiter's involvement is recieving the approved form so that he can take it up further for posting.
In My case Recruiter's dash board or UWL , nowhere is the data populated. So i was of the opinion that the approved requests are by default saving in draft mode and hence not reaching recruiter.
Finally, i reallized that there is a small refresh link, at the bottom of the dash board. I need to click on the each of the links in the dashboard and "Refresh" from the link at the bottom, then only my approved requests are showing up, that too under "My Application Groups, My Open Requisiotns and All requisitions".
Silly me !! I have wasted so much of my time debugging Workflow and changing all the possible config setting.
But i really wonder why cant the data base be updated when we refresh with F5 instead click on each of the links in dashboard inorder to see what has he got in his box. This seems little weird to me.
Regards,
Pranitha

Purchase order number not update in purchase requisition status tab

Purchase order is created for purchase requisition. The purchase requisition is triggered through process order. When I checked purchase requisition details in ME53N status tab, status is not edited and purchase order number also not present.
Kindly let me know the possible reason for this.
Appreciate your help..
Thanks,
SAP PQ

If the PO had been created without reference to the PR, it will not be updated in the PR.
If it has been created with reference to the PR, then the PR number gets updated in the PR status.
