Role of Competencies in Performance & Development module... Impact?

Question

Hi every one,
I have got a tricky question from my client.
My client doesnu2019t want to implement "Competencies", but asked us to provide OM, PA, Training & Event, Personnel Development and Talent Management systems.
I understand that without Competencies "we cannot score individual's qualifications, we cannot run profile matchup against ee's job or desired job, we cannot do query trainings based on qualifications gap, we cannot derive what are the qualifications required to perform a job".
But, I am bit confused with a question- What would be the other direct and indirect impact when the Competencies are not implemented in scope of the project (OM, PA, Training & Event, Personnel Development and Talent Management areas).
I will be very thankful if any one can share their knowledge / experiences here.
Many Thanks
Raj

Answer 1

Well, it sounds to me that these parameters are self explaining, but let me give a try anyway.
Changing: You can use this parameter to import some data into your functionmodule, change it and send it back to the caller. This way you don't need an import and export parameter.
Tables: In the early days, you could only transfer tabular data into a function module using the TABLES parameter. So instead of transferring (import and/or export) one record, you can now pass several records to the function module.
BTW: You could als use the F1 help for this, search on help.sap.com, or search SCN first, before even thinking about posting a standard question like this.
