Use of Further Participants in an Appraisal Template

Hi experts,
What is the use of Further Participants in an Appraisal Template?
I have designed appraisal templates which have two levels of appraisers, but did not use Further Participants in it.
When should be Further Particpants used and when is that it should not be used?
Can somebody please explain?
Best regards,
Swapna.

Hi Swapna
appraissees and further participants access the appraisals by the ESS (Portal) role and appraisers by the MSS role. So they appear in different overview screens.
best regards

Add "Further Participant" in PMP Appraisal Document

Dear experts,
I need to add "Further Participant" in PMP Appraisal Document but not directly/manually.
I am checking if there is any Function Module which I can use in Custom Report to add Further Participant to respective Appraisal Document.
I have tested FM "HRHAP_DOCUMENT_MODIFY" and passed the required input to it, however instead of adding given Further Participant to the document, this FM is deleting the particular document.
Any helpful suggestion would be highly regarded.
Regards,
SAP HR User.

Hi,
The PMP process (the predefined) is not really ment to behave this way, I am not even sure if it includes further participants.
So I just assume you use the flexible one instead, from a program flow logic it will be the same anyway.
What you need to do is:
- Get Appraisal
- Add Further Participant
- Save
- Dequeue
So, assuming you have all the appraisal id's already available. Loop over the appriasal ID's and for each one do
HRHAP_DOCUMENT_GET_DETAIL, make sure your in admin mode and you need to decide if you want this registered in teh action log. But make sure your in admin mode!
You need to capture ALL export fields, we need them later on.
One of the exlporting parameters is T_HEADER_OTHERS. Add to this your further participant.
Then call HRHAP_DOCUMENT_SAVE
Then HRHAP_DOCUMENT_DEQUEUE
finished, next appraisal id.

Appraisal document for further participant

Hi,
We are using Objective setting and Appraisal on EHP4. We are using the standard web dynpro iview.
The process flows between Employee and Manager and the Higher manager is able to view the appraisal template. Our problem is that Employee and Manager is able to view the template in their respective iviews ie. through ESS and MSS, but in case of further participant who is higher manager is able to view the template in ESS and not in MSS.
Is this the standard way that the further participants are able to view appraisal in ESS ?
Shrikant

Hi,
Yes, appraissees and further participants access the appraisals via the ESS role and appraisers by the MSS role.

Appraisal Document not visible to further Participant

Hi Members,
I have used three participants in "category" option of Appraisal template.
1. Appraisee - Employee
2. Appraiser - Supervisor
3. Further Participant - HOD
In Enterprise Portal , i am using a BSP page (from SE80 --> BSP Application --> HAP_Document_Pa --> Pages with Flow Logic --> documents_todo.htm) in MSS, earlier the HOD was able to find the appraisal document, but for unknown reasons, now the HOD is not able to find the appraisal document.
And in criteria Group, though i have given the change option to Supervisor through element access and display option to Employee and HOD, but even the supervisor is not able to make changes in the criteria group, as the text box is displayed in grey (non editable mode).
Kindly help me know the reason and solution, so that HOD could complete his part of review from his MSS screen.
Regards

Hi Lincoln,
Thnx for responding.
Yes a separate Iview is created to call the BSP page, and we have used "documents_todo.htm" and even the supervisor (in Review) and HOD (In Process) were able to view the appraisal document as and when the statuses changes, because the BSP page "documents_where_participated.htm" shows the appraisal documents even if the document is with employee or supervisor.
About the value of i-view parameter MODE as X, do you mean "parameters to pass from Page Request (for URL isolation)" is not set as 'X', as the portal guy is not available at the moment, me being a functional consultant, i also need to fix the BSP issues through Portal.
But i want start afresh, when the appraisal document is "in planning", the document should be available with the employee, when the appraisal document is in "In review" stage, the document should be available with the Supervisor, when the appraisal document is in "In Process" stage, the document should be available with the HOD.
Plz suggest the BSP's for employee, supervisor and HOD, correct me if i need to make any corrections in the statuses or participants.
Regards

Change mode for 'further participant;' in appraisal document

hi!
My goal is to change HAP_DOCUMENT BSP to allow Further Participants(FP) to change goal setting and appraisal documents.
for this i am changing the page document.where.participated.htm to enable the FP to change document(employee columns ONLY (objectives, checkboxes, employee assessment))for this i redirected the next page to 'change documnet'. Now i am able to change the appraisal document when i login as a further participant and if i am both the appraiser and apparisee. For the appraiser documents for which i am not the appraiser and appraisee, i am not able to change the fields in the document. I did some reasearch on this and came to know that some badis need to be used for this functionality.
Please advice If anyone came across such scenario.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thank you

It's Strange. Where you have impleneted the Col Access Code..in the BADI / in ur BSP Page itself?
The objective Settings also can be controlled by COL_ACCESS BADI.Find out the name of the columns in HRHRAP* Tables & change the visibility.

Difference between part appraisal and further participants in OSA

what is the difference (process-wise) between part-appraisers and further participants?

Hi,
Part appraisers ard final appraiser are the ones who can give notes to the employees.
Further participants, however, cannot give notes.

Configure HRHAP00_GET_LIST_FLT BADI implementation in appraisal template using OOHAP_BASIC T-code

Hi Experts,
I want to modify List of Incomplete Appraisal Documents in appraisal template, for which I have found a BADI HRHAP00_GET_LIST_FLT (Displayed in further Badis section of RHHAP_BADI_OVERVIEW program).
I have created implementation of this BADI but I am unable to see BADI in OOHAP_BASIC transaction (I have checked all the enhancement areas).
Please let me know how can I configure the implementation of BADI HRHAP00_GET_LIST_FLT in OOHAP_BASIC T-code.
(I have also checked that BADI implementation was not getting triggered by simply activating the implementation)
Thanks in advance

How to unreleased Appraisal templates which are alreay being in used

Hi Experts,
I am looking for the solution how to unreleased appraisal templates which are already released and also used by the Employees for their PDD process.
We are facing one problem in PDD templates, so we want to make some changes in already released templates.
Is there any way or solution by any Functional method/settings or by ABAP program?
Please reply as it is very critical and important for us to solve ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashish Mehta.

Now that might work (actually it will work). But you need to be 100% sure that your changes will not infleunce the appraisal process. Because it is not that hard to cause unrepairable data inconsistencies on already existing appraisal documents!!
There is a very good reason for not being able to unrelease templates once they are in use!
One is that you can create incorrect appraisal documents from a business point of view.
Say your document end appraisal is a 1-10 scale, one being the worst. The appraisal gets a 3 as final score, meaning in this scale quite bad. Now you unrelease the template and change the used scale to a 1-4 scale. Your very bad employee turns all of a sudden in a quite good employee!
Even worse, you can create database inconsistencies on document level. Just remove elements or columns from the template and you will get very strange results after releasing again.
I don't recommend changing templates once documents are based on them but if you use this option then be carefull!

Configuring Appraisal template to ESS/MSS

Hi Friends,
I have created a appraisal template. But I am not able to see it in either MSS or in ESS.
How to configure the appraisal template is for which Managers and to which employee group/sub group
Thanks
Vimal

Hi Vimal,
If you are using EHP1 to EHP3 then for appraisals we dont have a standard iView available in ESS MSS. From EHP4 SAP has provided a standard iView for appraisal.
EHP1- EHP4- Supports BSP applications and EHP4 is on Webdynpro applications
For EHP-EHP3, you can access the appraisal docuemnt on portal by:
Goto SE80-> Select BSP Application-> Select HAP_DOCUMENT -> Right Click and Click on Test.
You will get a window showing list of BSP applications available for appraisal template/ Document to be viewd on portal.
For Employee use: received_open3.htm
For MAnager use: todo.htm
for Further participants use: where_participated.htm
For EHP4, appraisal templates will be available in the stadrad iView
Thanks!

Chetan

OSA - Concept of Further Participant

Hi All,
I am new to OSA module and is a little confused with part appraisals and further partipant. Base on english explanation "Further participants are those that have an interest in the document but are not directly responsible for the appraisal process. For example an higher manager or an HR responsible. "
Anyone can help to clarify the difference with example of what part appraisal can do and a further participant cannot do in system point of view.
Thanks for your assistance to this new entrant to OSA.
Thank you
Audrey

> Some examples seen at different customers for Further
> Participants:
>
> - HR responsible
> - Higher Manager
Maurice,
We are currently blueprinting for a customer; we foresee use the OSA iview (overview screen) where the higher manager gets the list of sub ordinate teams by default. We did not had to add the higher managers as further participant.
Am I right to say that the concept of further participants can also be achieved with appropriate Views and function modules/evaluation paths behind them (such as the HAP_ALL view). Or is there a nuance?
regards and vriendelijke groetjes too,
Bert

How to set OSA appraisal template validity period ??

Hi Guru,
I am now working on OSA appraisal. When i create a appraisal template in PHAP_CATALOG, i cant specify the validity period. In the end, the validity period always sets to start date as 01/01/1900 and end date as 31/12/9999. As a result, i cant specify that in which year, which appraisal template to be used because all the templates are having the same validity period. For example, i wanna create a appraisal template from 01/01/2008 to 31/12/2010. So,how can i set the validity period to the period i want? Or is there anywhere can set the validity period ?
Thanks

In the VA object, Layout tab, make sure "do not display validity period" is not checked. This should display the validity period columns, which the user's can enter.
If the column cannot be changed, then check the security authorization.
If the values are defaulted, make sure, you disable the BAdi. Also, make sure, in the processing tab,
click on the "further template behaviour" button. Make sure, there are no "default validity period" enhancement area's.

Only 1 LSO Appraisal Template avail for assigning to HRLSO TEMPL

Hi
We are currently building LSO Training Management in SAP ERP 2005.
Objective Settings and Appraisals is also used concurrently.
The following appraisal templates has been configured in PHAP_CATALOG under Category Group SAP Learning Solution
Category Group / Category / Template
============================
SAP Learning Solution
 Training course appraisal: Classroom
 Classroom Training (standard SAP provided)
 Classroom Training - Anonymous (standard SAP provided)
 Customer Course Evaluation (customer specific)
 Training course appraisal: WBT
 Web-based Training (standard SAP provided)
I would like to set the default appraisal template to Customer Course Evaluation whenever I activate appraisals in transaction LSO_PSV2 from Participation > Appraisals > Create whilst clicking on the course.
In order to acheive the above, in the config setting for HRLSO TEMPL , I will need to assign the appraisal template.
The problem is the only appraisal template that allows me to select when I click on the search help is Web-based Training. Not any others.
Is there any config setting that needs to be taken care of so as to get the search help top pop up Customer Course Evaluation for my config selection as well ?
Thanks,
Gregg

Hi Gregg,
I tested the issue and after my investigation I found out the following:
I created a new template and did the steps you described. In the T77S0 i wanted to have the new template in the list while pushing the F4 on the switch HRLSO TEMPL, but only the one was shown which is the current...
I went to PP01, checked the Serial Number of the Appraisal template I created and entered it into the HRLSO TEMPL manually, than pushed "Save" -> it worked correct, no error messages came.
Now once again went back to the switch, pushed on F4 and there was the bug -> only the new template I created was on the list...
Thus our SAP internal systems are up-to-date with the newest patches, I suppose that this one is probably a system malfucntion.
I would like to suggest you to post an OSS message tot the SAP to the component of PE-LSO-TM. If our official investigations are done and the issue is considered as a failure, we will release for the customers an SAP correction note.
I hope this helps somehow converge you to the right solution!
Best regards,
Zsolt
