Transporting the Templates in Objective settings and Appraisals

Hello expert:
I am finding problem in transporting the Personnel appraisal Templates from dev box to test box.
I could transport the category group and category, but not the templates.
When I rt. click on templates and select TRANSPORT, it is asking for a customizing transport. I did not get any error while assigning the templates to a transport.
But after assigning template to a request number, it is not getting transported to test system.
Any suggestions will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Raghu Kolukuluri

Hi,
I found the answer to this question in a different thread.
If there is any problem transporting PD objects, one should try executing a report "RHSOBJCH" and adjust any inconsistencies that the report suggests.

Category Group (Objective Settings and Appraisals)

Hi
How can I create a new category group in the activity "Edit Templates" from the objective settings and appraisals?, The system automatically generates one category group Personnel Appraisals, so we need to create a new one?
This new category group is neccesary for the events appraisals (PE), and the category group that we had in the system is for personnel apraisals.
Somebody can help me to response this question??
Thaks,

Hi Carlos
Try to access transaction code PHAP_CATALOG.
Through this transaction code, you will see all the categories of appraisal templates for personnel appraisals, SAP Learning Solution, recruitment, etc.
Thanks,

Appraiser Authorization Issue (Objective Settings and Appraisals)

Hello!
We are currently using Objective Settings and Appraisals for our
performance appraisals. ESS and MSS is also used during the process. We
do not use structural authorizations either.
Authorizations work fine for the vast majority of employees. However, we have an issue with some of our Human Resources users. For his/her ID they have authorization to certain personnel areas. However, his/her appraiser is in a personnel area they do not have authorization for. As a result, the appraisal does not show up when the user access ESS to work on their appraisal.
For example we have an HR user who has access to information in
personnel area 1081. However, her appraiser/manager is actually in 2054. As
a result when she accesses her appraisal it says no entries exist.
One solution we tried was selecting the 'No Authorization Check for Appraiser' on the
template. With this selected, the appraisal shows up with the personnel
number of the appraiser on the listing. When the appraisal is accessed
and the user tries to perform an action, the following error pops up stating the
appraisee person is not allowed and it has the appraiser number within
the error message.
Currently, we have the HR employee using a different ID for ESS that allows the
user to access the appraisal. Is there anything standard that will
allow the user to view the appraisal without using a different ID?

Quarterly & Half yearly appraisal in objective settings and appraisals

Hi,
I've customized the Objective Settings and Appraisals, created a template with part appraisal & its working properly. In my company the appraisals take place every 6 months i.e twice a year. If I create an appraisal document for an employee with validity say 1 year i.e. 01.04.2009 to 31.03.2010 in infotype 0025. Now within same appraisal document using part appraisal concept how can I do appraisal of that employee 2 times. Is it possible or I'll have to create 2 records in infotype 25, first for first 6 months & second for next 6 months. what should be the standard process?

Hello,
The administrator functions are in transaction PHAP_ADMIN. If you have a customer report and want to assign this to the transaction you implement HRHAP00_ADMIN. This has the advantage that the document selection (screen) is a given and you only need to start the report on the selected documents.
However, you normally would not give the administrator functionality to a 'normal' manager. This because the admin functions are performed without any checks and are very powerfull.
Your requirement can be or done via statusflow configuration (with extention set 2.00 and higher) or only by the administrator. To be honest, I think the statusflow won't give you the flexibility you probably want in this case (do workflows get re-triggered, are value determinations restarted etc etc.)
In our design resetting a document status is an interuption in the process which should only be possible for the administrator. The transaction phap_change_pa allows the manager to reset the document from completed to in process but thats all (This is not available in the portal).

Hi Chetan,
Thanks for your quick reply.If we could use the qualification catalog for the same then do we have an option to restrict the no. of certain entries for a particular category group becuase according to our requirement there can be no. of category groups.
i.e we want the case that once set the system should recognize if the particular qualification group(containing some x no. of entires) is related only to particular category group.
I hope you understood what I meant ?Anc also could you please elaborate this free enhancement option?
Best Regards,
Sunny

Testing Question - Objective Settings and Appraisals

Hi Experts
During testing, we need to delete appraisal docs under Appraisal Template and do "cancel release", each time need to change configurations or for any changes in the template.
Since in Perf Mgmt , it is recommeded to transport at the very end, how can we accomodate these changes as the tranport is already released and moved to QA?
Secondly, how can we transport configurations done for the front end/ portal configurations as the project requirement is to access appraisal template via ESS/MSS?
I have done this whole project in Sandbox ( as we have real data there) and tested and worked fine, now doing everything in DEV and moving to QA and then Prod, I need to be educated on accomodating and moving configurations through different landscapes.

Hi,
For the customizing, just make your changes, put them on a transport and push them thru your landscape. You can create as many transports as needed, just make sure you import them in the right order

Printing Objective Settings and Appraisals

Hello!
I'm working on ERP2005.
I want to print an appraisal but i don't have ADS(Adobe Document Services) installed ...
Is it possible to print without using a PDF file ? or, is there any other way of printing an appraisal without having to install ADS?
Thanks in advance,
Francisco

Hello Francisco,
With ERP2005 we delivered the PDF printform. It replaced the smartform print layout as default, but not as an option. On the layout tab-writer of the template go to print layout and select Smartforms. This will use smartform printing instead of PDF printing.
You can still use the smartform BAdI (HRHAP00_SMARTFORMS) to include your own print layouts as well. An additional note. The offline functionality uses the same PDF form and depends also on the use of the ADS server.

Objective Settings and Appraisals

Hi,
Using TCode PHAP_Prepare_PA, we can assign the Appraisal Template to Either Org Unit, org Units with resrticted Templates.
As per our requirement we need to assign the appraisal template to OM Object- Job Families. But this option is not available in PHAP_Prepare_PA. Also we can not maintain relationship of any Appraisal objects like VA, VB, VC thro PP01.
Can you guys please suggest a way by which we can assign the appraisal templte to Job Families.
Is there any patch that we need to apply?
Best Regards,
Chetan S. Wahane

Hi Chetan,
Add a column owner into an Appraisal Template, SAP Provides a Business Add-Ins(BAdI) name HRHAP00_COL_OWNER.
This Business Add-In (BAdI) enables you to create further implementations, in addition to the standard SAP Implementations, with which you can provide further column owners.
You can select the implementations in the appraisal catalog on the Column Access tab page.

Administrator Functions in Objective Settings and Appraisals

Hello,
Can anyone tell me
1. How to add the Administrator Functions
2. Where (in the appraisal document), these functions are available for the USER
Actually we have created a function module by which the Manager can change the Appraisal status to a prior status. We wanted to add that in the administrator functions. I am not understanding "where the Manager can see this Function in the Portal"?
Also I am not able to award points for helpful answers to my questions. Can someone educate me on that.
Thank You

Objective Setting and Appraisals: No BSP-Template found!

I am implementing MSS and am getting an error under tab Employee Review for Objective Setting and Appraisals. The error is:
An error occurred: java.lang.Exception: Error in CFViewgroup.createListModel: No BSP-Template found!
Any clues as to how to fix this?

Now its been a while since ive seen that error .... id check the following:
1. User Parameters in the backend HR system
2. User Permissions in the backend HR system (although I dont think its related)
3. In Security Zones - ensure that the com.sap.portal.ep50 node has sufficient privs for your user.
BTW which versions of EP and HR are you using - that may have some bearing - ive only ever seen it on ECC5 and EP6.0 ...

Objective Settings and Appraisal Template

I just completed most of the configurations and testing in sandbox (we have real data there) for this project.
Now I need to replicate the same in DEV and move to Quality( Client specific) for testing and then prod.
Since there is structure of template, statuses, substatuses ............. each time I will be prompted for a transport request. Should I use one transport to include all changes or I understand that you can right click on the template structure and move to different landscapes?
Please help on this and anyhting per your experience, I should know before starting in DEV.

Hi,
Normally you just maintain everything in your development system and in the end you put it on a transport. For that just go to the template and right-mouse it. There is a write to transport entry there.
Do not forget to transport the category as well! and if you made changes to the category group those need to go as well. They can be put on a transport via context menu as well.

Objective Settings and Appraisal Eval. Path Selection

Goodday,
I'm getting this particular error in MSS service 'Objective Settings and Appraisal'. One of my drop down selection is not returning any employees even after maintainng teh proper relationship. I have 3 selection for this service - 'All employees', 'Directly reporitng employees' and 'Business Unit Reporting'. For the first 2 selection, i was able to get the correct employee list. However, for the third selection, i did not get any outcome.
When i checked in transaction 'PPSS', i was able to get the correct result out. My root object selection returns the position of the manager. My second object selection was based on the manager's position. This then returns the 'S' and 'P' of employees with 'z10' relationship to teh manager's position.
However, this is not appearing in MSS OSA. Anything missing?
Thanks
