Talent Management Objective Setting

Hi
Employee is setting the objective, it goes to supervisor for approval. Aprpaisal is not started at this time. After got approved, the employee's supervisor has changed. Now the appraisal has started, who is going to appraise this employee's appraisal? (whether old manager or new manager?)
Thanks in advance

whoever is the new manager should get to appraise it. to achieve this set the new supervisor in the HRMS record and check. to be safe, republish the plan everyday also.

Talent Management - Objective Setting Aprpoval - One more Level

Hi,
Objective Settings to be approved by both immediate manager and the second higher manager. But, now, only the immediate manager can approve it. I read the doc id Note:550338.1. But, is there any workaround for this? Can we attach custom workflow to this? so that it goes to second higher manager for approval?
Thanks in advance

Hi
We have had this discussion outside the forum, but I have added my comments here in case they are useful to others.
I have read note 550338.1 and I think you would wait a long time for this to be made part of the standard process!
The objectives setting process is either PARALLEL or CASCADING. PARALLEL means that the employee starts the process and the manager has to ‘agree’ the objectives. This agreement is done as a task in the PMP, rather than a response to a notification for approval.
I guess I need to understand WHY you need 2 approvers?
If you use the CASCADING model, then you are cascading objectives down from the top of the organisation and adapting them to lower level conditions. For example, CEO says ‘cut costs by 10%”. This objective might translate to ‘Cut Supplier costs by 10%’ when given as an objective to the Finance Director. He then sets objectives to his subordinates and links them to his own. For example, he sets the Purchasing Manager the objective of “Renegotiate contracts with suppliers”.
When you use cascading, you are implicitly approving the objectives because they are created from the top down.
You asked if you could create a custom workflow to control the second approval. Even if you did this (which I would not recommend), you would have problems with the way that the tasks are sent to and from managers and employees. I don’t think the user interface would support this.
As with all e-Business Suite implementations, the art is to make use of what it does well and not to customise the bits that don’t do what you want! This invariably leads to trouble!
Hope this helps

Tim

Performance Management/Objective setting and Appraisals - To Hide elements

Hi All,
In PMS/Objective setting and Appraisals module, is there any BADI available to Hide elements( Criteria & Criteria group) on Sub status wise. Meaning, suppose i have Substatus A, B, C & D in status "2" ( In planning) and one of the VC element should be hidden in Status = 2 & substatus = A, B. But in "C" & "D" sub stauts it should be visible.
If BADI is not available then is there any possible way out for the same.
Thanks,
Ashwini.

There is no badi for this, it slipped of radar during the development of the hide element functionality.
The only why to achieve the same would be by having a customer own UI and control it on UI level, but its an ugly way which I do not recommend.

Performance Management Objective Setting

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a full HCM implementation and had a few questions regarding performance management. The client is interested in having goals and objectives "cascade" through org. units and pre-load on Performance Appraisal templates.
In the phap_catalog, I have noticed a value determination named "ORG_OBJECTIVES" and it supposedly auto-fills goals set by managers for the performance review period.
Basically, I am looking for a productive/proper way to have goals flow from the overall organization, through lower level organizational units down to each and every employee.
For example: Company X has 3 overall goals -> Bob Smith works within Org. Unit Y in which there are 3 separate goals that refer to this Org. Unit -> and then Bob Smith has the ability to add 3 of his own goals for the year. Overall there would be 3 overall company goals, 3 org. unit goals (total of 6 that pre-fill) and 3 empty fields for Bob Smith to input his own goals.
Any help would be wonderful. Thank you for your time.

Raghu,
Your response was extremely helpful.
Do you have any documentation or guidance on how I could create custom tables to use this BADI that you are talking about. Currently there is no plan for SEM, so I am going to have to take the route of custom tables utilizing the BADI that you mentioned. In terms of custom tables, creating them and using them, I only have a high level knowledge, so any documentation/guidance would be very helpful.

Adam P.

Talent Management - Objective weightage

Hi,
Now, we are in 11.5.10.2 FP K RUP1.
Assume that, I am setting 4 objectives. Each objective has some weightage value, (Say objective 1 is 30, Objective 2 is 40, Objective 3 is 15, Objective 4 is 15). So, here, the total weightage for all objective is 100%. If the user enters more than 100%, it should show an error.
Note: I have added 0,5,10...100 in the lookup HR_WPM_WEIGHTING.
Also, I would like to know the difference between weightage scale (HR_WPM_WEIGHTING) lookup and "Target value" under Measurement tab in Update Objective page.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is essentially what I was suggesting. I'm not a Fast Formula expert, and I know there are limitations with them, but the concept was to store the weighting factor outside the FF and to read the data and process it inside the FF. The objectives and competencies rating values are going to be configured through a rating scale, so that seemed like a good place for the weighting factor.
Remember too, that the seeded weighting values are lookups, and that you have a code, meaning and description, plus a context sensitive DFF so you could easily store the weighting value in any one of those.
Regards
Tim

Please set the parameter PROCESS "PMP" in the iview configuration.
ie
ROLE_ID=PA&PROCESS=PMP in application parameters
content provided by SAP ->
specialist ->
Talent management Specialist ->
iViews ->
COmpany goals etc
and you can confirm using this
CL_HAP_CASCADE_GOALS > meth0d GET_VALID_APPRAISAL_TEMPLATES
The parameter mentioned in the note 1457057, the one that you enter in
transaction SE80 is the default value. However, if you call application
with parameter PROCESS=PMP then the PMP process for cascading goals will
be used.
check note 1523527

TREX - Search Talent Management

Hi All,
I know that there are many threads on the TREX and have looked at all of them and tried some of the things but i still get the error search not available.
We have created all search connector in the admin cockpit and have indexed all of them with no errors. All 32 of them are active. I then ran report ESH_TEST_SEARCH to test the searches. All of the objects templates return results except the following:
HRTMC_AES_DOCUMENTS
HRTMC_AES_ELEMENTS
HRTMC_AES_TEMPLATES
HRTMC_AUTHORITY_VIEW
HRTMC_CENTRALPERSON
HRTMC_FUNC_AREA
HRTMC_JOB
HRTMC_JOB_FAMILY
HRTMC_ORG_UNIT
HRTMC_POSITION
HRTMC_QUALIFICATION
HRTMC_REL_CP_JF_744
HRTMC_REL_CP_Q_032
HRTMC_TALENT_GROUP
For most of these templates I get the following error:
Search Engine Error 29 for DHR310HRTMC_FUNC_AREA : attribute not defined for physical index;index esh:dhr310dhr310hrtmc_func_area~functional_areayy has no attribute 'objid'.
For the HRTMC_AUTHORITY_VIEW i get no results, it comes back no values and has a yellow traffic light in the Log viewer. In the Job Log in the Admin Cockpit i see the following
31.05.2011 21:54:23 Object connector DHR310HRTMC_AUTHORITY_VIEW: New status: Indexing

31.05.2011 21:54:23 Job finished
I also activated BADI HRTMC_AUTHORITY_VIEW_DELTA in the IMG and ran report RPTMC_CREATE_CHANGEPOINT_AUTH. I then scheduled ESH_IX_PROCESS_CHANGE_POINTERS for the HRTMC_AUTHORITY_VIEW, hoping the I would be returned with some results.howver
I do have a TMS linked to several org units via relation 741 and this is returned in the test search HRTMC_REL_S_O_RESP. In addition if I go to a Talent Review Meeting in the portal and click on 'ADD' to select an org unit, the managers of the Org Units that I am related to appear on the list. However as soon as I select any of them, they are added to the participant list but non of the nominated talents appear, i get the following message:
'No nominations are displayed since the search is not available'
for all other searches i get the error 'Search is not available' or 'No Relevant Records Were Found for This Search'
I Also checked SLG1 logs after attempting the searches and got the following errors:
2007 for DHR310HRTMC_CENTRALPERSON : NameServer error: no servers found; IndexId:esh:dhr310dhr310hrtmc_centralperson~~sap_talent

I also tried creating my own serch request using one of the search templates returning results. In this case i used the HRTMC_REL_CP_TB_743 templates with talent group ID as search field and assigned it to one of the search configurations. I then however got the following error.
The following error text was processed in the system DHR : The ASSERT condition was violated. The error occurred on the application server sivrs106_DHR_00 and in the work process 0 . The termination type was: RABAX_STATE The ABAP call stack was:

Talent Management-RePublishing Plans

Hi Everybody,
I'm unable to re-publish the plans in Talent Management, as it says that there are broken supervisor hiearchies which need to be fixed first. I ran a report and found three employees with broken hierarchies, all three employees are terminated, so I've excluded them from the system by adding them to the Eligibility Override EIT. Normally when I do that, it fixes the problem and I'm able to re-publish the plans. However, this time it hasn't worked and the employees in question are still appearing as having broken hierarchies. Can you please investigate and see if it is in fact these three employees causing the problem and if so, why the system is ignoring the fact that I've excluded them in the EIT. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not technical, so can't comment on whether the SQL is correct. But, you can set objectives outside of the appraisal period, so your objectives might not yet be connected to a specific appraisal. Does your SQL allow for this?

Add custom embedded region or link in talent management

We are doing a proof of concept implementation of Oracle Talent
Management. As part of this implementation we have been requested to
add Salary change functionality to the employee performance appraisal
process. Usually this process is only used to evaluate
competencies, objectives and overall performance and does not include
salary information.
Our Thoughts:
Oracle provides out of the box the Salary change process on its own.
There is an entry page for the values, PRatePG, and then a review
page, ReviewPG. We would like to take the majority of the
functionality on those 2 pages and add that functionality to the 2
similar pages used for performance review. On the performance review
side the equivalent pages are the entry page MAFinalRatingsPG and the
review page,MAFinalRatingsRevPG.
We are looking for the best way to move forward regardless to
incorporate the functionality of entering and reviewing the salary
into the performance appraisal set of pages which don't currently
contain the data or functionality at all for salary.
We have considered also going a complete custom route, however the
functionality on the Salary screens are intricate and have several
PPR elements. Additionally, there was the thought to somehow add the
Salary page functionality as an additional page on the page flow as a
customization. This might still be an option as well. We are open
to any ideas.
Please let us know if any of you have done anything similar and would
like to share with us.
We would like to know what is the best option to meet the requirement
1)Create a link to seeded salary page
2)Embed the seeded salary region in Appraisal form
3)Create custom salary region and embed that into Appraisal form

Is it possible to configure Team calibration for Objective Setting Appraisals in EHP7

Hi Friends,
We are on EHP7. We have implemented objective setting appraisal for our client.
We have created an appraisal template under category group "Personnel appraisals". We have configured the VA, VB, VC, Column ids. Status tab flow is used from In preparation - Completed.
The enhancements are used to accommodate customer specific calculations for the scores based on the final ratings.
An additional requirement from the client is; once the appraisal process is over for a team; the team manager should be able to see the scores of his direct reportees in the MSS.
1) He should be given a provision to modify the final rating score; incase if he finds that one of the team members deserve a better score in line with the comparison of other team members. He should be able to call the template and be able to revise the final ratings from his MSS directly.
2) When he modifies the final ratings by calling the appraisal template on the MSS; that new score should be stored in the appraisal template (database tables); that is; this should overwrite the final scores which was initially calculated during the final appraisal discussion between the apprasier and appraisee. This new values should be taken for all reporting or new compensation revision process.
Should this requirement be addressed by Assessment of Employees and Calibration Process for Employee Assessments standard configurations?
If that is the option; I have already done these settings for flexible performance appraisal.
But in the MSS > under Talent Management > Assessment
We are getting a blank screen in the "In process & Completed " tabs. No employee is listed.
The calibration grid is empty. But under under talent profile; we are able to see the names of the team members.
Is there any other method available for this purpose ?
Request your comments on options to deliver this functionality.
Thanks.
ER.

Hi Srujan,
For every paying company code you can have multiple sending company codes.
You can make this configuration in FBZP > Paying company codes tab.
Once in 'Paying company codes', here click on 'Company codes' button on top right.
This means you will need all the FBZP setup for your paying company code only.
Also, please refer to below link to configure cross company settings

TREX vs Enetrprise Search - Talent Management

Hi,
We are implementing Talent Management and would like to find out what do we require for the enabling search functionality.
Do we require TREX or Enterprise search?
We currently have TREX version 7.0 installed and not Enterprise search. What is the difference between Enterprise search and TREX?
Please can someone advise?
Regards
Imraan

Hi Imraan,
TREX is the engine that runs the Enterprise Search that you will use in Talent Management. You need to install TREX on a dedicated server and connect it via RFC to SAP. Then you need to enable the business function ENTERPRISE_SEARCH in SFW5 and activate the ESH cockpit service in SICF. Then you need to create and index your search object connectors. You can use this guide for that:

Talent Management - Appraisal

Hi,
I have created a plan with the following tasks:
Objective Setting : 01/01/2008 30/06/2008
Mid Year Appraisal : 01/07/2008 15/07/2008
Mid Year Objective Reviewal : 01/12/2008 20/12/2008
Final Year Appraisal : 25/12/2008 31/12/2008
Assume that, I completed the Objective setting and Mid year appraisal. But during objective reviewing (employee updating existing objectives and adding some objectives), whether the employee can see all the objectives which were appraised during Mid Year Appraisal or not?. (The reviewed objectives will be used in Final Year Appraisal.)
Thanks in advance.

TimW wrote:
Objective setting and appraisals cannot be open at the same time. So, if you want to continue updating objectives you have to reset the objective setting period after the mid-year appraisal. However, as long as the mid-year and end-year appraisals are part of the same plan, you can continue to see the objectives from the first part of the year.
If objectives are not completed in the first year, they can be carried forward to the next year if you define the 2nd years plan as being linked to the first year.
Be careful, because there have been many reports of problems in this area! Lots of patches have had to be applied around this functionality. I would advise making sure that you have all the Talent Management rollup patches.
Regards
TimHi Tim,
We are implementing a scenario almost exactly like the thread describes and we are already having issues. Please can you point to us where to download all the Talent Management Rollup patches so that we can have a stable system. Thank.
