Concepts of Organizational Management: Business Scenario

l Your company is implementing SAP’s HR module. You are responsible for depicting the organizational plan in the system.

ã SAP AG 1999

Organizational Management: Introduction

l A complete model of the organizational and reporting structures

l Views specific to time period selected

l Flexible to evaluate and analyze

l A means of planning organizational change

l A basis for the installation or use of othercomponents such as: Personnel Development, Compensation Planning and Workflow

n Using Organizational Management, you can create a complete model of the organizational and reporting structures of your enterprise for a specific time period.

n You can obtain an overview of the current status of your organizational and reporting structures at any time using a number of methods.

n You can plan and simulate future scenarios using Organizational Management. n Organizational Management provides a basis for other Human Resources components, as well as

cross application components (Workflow, for example).

ã SAP AG 1999

Methodology: Multiple Structures

l Structural model of the Organizational based on the tasks, responsibilities, and functions of company

l Structural model of the Organizational based upon financial accoutability or geography

l Model of the reporting structure

l Model of alternate reporting structures

n The organizational plan enables you to create a model of the structure of your company based on the tasks and functions carried out. You decide which areas you want to include.

n As well as a one-dimensional hierarchical organizational plan, you can also create a multi-dimensional matrix organization.

Methodology - Planning

Present Future

Organizational Management enables you to get a clear picture of your organization in the past, present,

and future. Using this information, you can prepare forand react to future HR requirements and changes.

n An enterprise’s organizational structure is displayed on the left side of the graphic as it currently exists. Using the Organizational Management application component, any type of enterprise restructuring or reorganization can be planned and then reproduced in the system.

Methodology: Plan Versions

n You can maintain any number of plan versions. Plan versions allow you to create several organizational plans in the system at the same time. You can simulate and compare various scenarios using plan versions.

n One of these plan versions represents the active organizational plan, and is flagged as the active integration plan version.

n Plan versions exist independently of each other. They can be created as copies of the original plan, which you then change and re-evaluate without modifying the valid plan.

ã SAP AG

Methodology - Object-Oriented Design

l Organizational Management is based on the creationand use of organizational objects.

l There are relationships between these objects.

l Additional characteristics may be maintained forobjects you create.

Objects

Relationships

Characteristics

l Manages

l Describes

l Reports to

l Is subordinate to

l And so on...

n Organizational Management is based on the concept that each element in an organization represents a stand-alone object with individual characteristics. These objects are created and maintained separately, then linked together through relationships, such as those indicated above, to form a network which has the flexibility to handle human resource, forecasting, and reporting.

n You can also create additional characteristics for objects. This provides additional information for other components, evaluations and so on.

n All object characteristics (existence/relationships/characteristics) are maintained in infotypes.

Organizational unitsdescribe the various units in your enterprisethat are usually structuredaccording to tasks and functions.

Multiple organizationalunits and theirhierarchical relationships form an organizational structure.

Object Types: Organizational Units

n Organizational Unit: Object type 'O ’ n Organizational units are units of your company that perform a function. According to how tasks are

allocated in your company, these can be departments, groups or project teams, for example. n Organizational units are not the same as other enterprise units, such as personnel area, company code

and so on. These are used to model structures in Personnel Administration or Payroll Accounting, for example.

n You create the organizational structure of your company by relating organizational units to one another. These relationships may be in the form of a hierarchy or a matrix.

n This organizational structure is then the basis for the creation of an organizational plan.

ã SAP AG 1999

Object Types: Positions

Examples:

Position:Manager - Sales

Position: Manager -Purchasing

Position:Manager - HR

l Positions are specific toyour organization.

l Each position is typicallyoccupied by one employee.A position can, however, be filled by more than oneemployee.

Positions are specifications tiedto organizational units and areheld by individuals in your enterprise.

n Position: Object type 'S' (Specification) n Positions are concrete and are occupied by holders (employees or R/3 users). Positions differ from

jobs in that they are a more specific entity and are usually attached to organizational units. A job describes a position but it exists as a general unattached entity. A typical job in an enterprise is a “manager”. However, when this job is used to create a position, it can become a Marketing manager, Sales manager, Human Resources manager etc.

n Positions can be 100% filled, partially filled or vacant. n One position may also be shared by several employees, each working less than full time. For

example, two employees can hold 60% and 40% of one position.

ã SAP AG

R

Jobs

Jobs are general classifications for setsof task that an employee is required toperform.When creating an organizational plan,jobs help you to create positions.

Examples:

l Manager

l Buyer

l Secretary

Position:Manager - Sales

Position: Manager -Purchasing

Position:Manager - HR

Job:Manager

n Whereas positions are concrete and held by persons (Manager of purchasing department, for example), jobs are general classifications for sets of functions (Manager, for example). Jobs are assigned tasks and characteristics, which are then inherited by positions. In this way, they help you to create positions.

n When you create jobs, they are listed in a job index. n If you create a new position (Manager of US sales office, for example), this must be related to the

corresponding job. A job describes a position. Through this relationship, the position automatically inherits the tasks and characteristics assigned to the job. This significantly reduces data entry time, as tasks and characteristics do not have to be assigned to each position separately.

n Specific tasks and characteristics can be assigned directly to positions. n Jobs are used in the following components: Ÿ Shift Planning Ÿ Personnel Cost Planning Ÿ Career and Succession Planning

ã SAP AG 1999

Other Object Types: Tasks

Tasks describe theresponsibilities of jobs and positions --what activities are performed

Job:Manager

Position 1:Sales Manager Position 2:

Line Manager

l Managesdepartment

l Coordinates meetings

l Determines sales quotas

l Maintainsproduction schedules

n Task: Object type 'T ' n Tasks can be classified under the following aspects: n as workflow components to monitor cross-application processes/ as personnel management tools, to

describe jobs and positions n For personnel management purposes, tasks are individual duties and responsibilities that must be

undertaken by employees. n Examples of tasks: Answering the telephone, developing marketing material, selecting employees. n You can create single tasks or task groups. Single tasks are individual activities, task groups are

activities that are routinely performed together. All tasks are contained in a task catalog. The task catalog lists all tasks that exist in a particular period. The catalog also displays the relationships that exist between different tasks, as long as task groups are defined.

n If you plan to relate tasks to positions, you should first relate the tasks that all positions have in common to the corresponding job. When you create a position based on a job, the tasks will then automatically be transferred to the position. If you assign the same tasks to different jobs, you can use different weightings, which gives you more information when analyzing job descriptions.

ã SAP AG 1999

Other Object Types: Work Centers

Attributes:

ª Restrictions

ª Healthexaminations

Work centers describe thephysical locations wheretasks are performed.

Examples:

ü Word processing,21st floor

ü Welding workplace,Plant A

n Work Center: Object type 'A ' n Work centers are the specific physical locations where tasks are carried out. n A work center can represent anything as general as a geographical location, such as the Philadelphia

branch office, or they can be very precisely defined, such as a particular workstation with specific equipment in a specific building (this may make sense in a factory, or plant, for example).

n Several positions may share one work center. For example, the reception desk may be shared by a number of different employees during the day working different shifts.

n When you have created work centers, you describe their attributes, such as certain health requirements or physical restrictions limiting the group of employees that may work there. You may define restrictions or you might specify certain examinations that have to be completed at regular intervals.

ã SAP AG

Additional Object Types

Once you have created your organizational plan usingthe five basic objects, you may choose to add otherobject types to represent different characteristics of

your enterprise.

Cost center

Qualification

Person

l Cost center

l Person

l Qualification

l User

l Business event type

l And so on...

n The five basic objects are used throughout the System. Additional object types are introduced in conjunction with other components, such as Personnel Development and Training and Event Management.

n There is a distinction between internal and external object types. Internal object types are created and maintained in Organizational Management, Training and Event Management and Personnel Development. External object types (cost center and person, for example) are read into the organizational plan from other SAP application components, but maintained in the current component.

General identificationof relationships:

Example:

A 002B 002

Direction of relationship(A or B)

Relationship type(3 digit key)

n You create relationships between the individual elements in your organizational plan. There are different types of relationships as the type of connections between elements vary.

n The relationships between basic object types are defined in the standard system and should not be changed.

n Each standard relationship has a three-digit code. You can define your own relationships. The range AAA to ZZZ is reserved for relationships creates by the customer.

n Relationships between objects are reciprocal. If a job describes a position, then the position, in turn, will be described by the job. These relationships are distinguished by the identification A or B.

n It is therefore, only necessary to create a relationship in one direction. The inverse relationship will automatically be created by the system.

n A relationship may also be one-sided. Relationships to objects of an external object type (cost center in Controlling, for example), are one-sided, that is, they only go in one direction.

n The relationships between positions form the reporting structure, which can be evaluated separately from the organizational structure.

n In some organizations, the reporting structure is based on the assignment of positions to organizational units. In this case, you do not need an additional reporting structure.

n If the actual reporting structure of your enterprise differs from the reporting structure based on the organizational structure, you can model it in the following ways: Ÿ as a hierarchy, if the positions are assigned one-dimensionally. For this, you should use the above

relationships. Ÿ As a matrix organization, if the positions report to several superior units.

n The organizational plan provides a way of representing the Human Resource environment at your enterprise as a structure. It is both dynamic and complete. You can decide to create an organizational plan for your entire enterprise, or just a small section or department.

n The Organizational Structure depicts the assignment of the organizational units to one another. You create an organizational structure by creating and maintaining organizational units, which you then relate to each other. The organizational structure is the basis for the creation of the organizational plan.

n If the actual reporting structure of your enterprise differs from the organizational structure, and the relationships between positions are one-dimensional and hierarchical, you can depict them in a Reporting Structure.

n Staff Assignments represent the assignment of positions to organizational units and the relationships between positions and persons. You create staff assignments by creating positions (based on jobs), assigning them to an organizational unit and allocating them a position holder.

n A Job Index identifies the different jobs that exist in your enterprise. n A Work Center Index identifies the different work centers that exist in your enterprise. n A Task Catalog contains the tasks that are performed by employees at your enterprise. The catalog

also identifies task groups, made up of tasks that are routinely performed together. You create a task catalog by creating and maintaining tasks and relating them to each other.

n Objects consist of three components: Ÿ The first component is the ID number, a short and long text defining the existence of the object Ÿ The second component is the structural relationship or relationships between the object and other

objects Ÿ The third component is the object characteristics.

n All these object characteristics (existence/relationships/additional characteristics) are created as infotypes.

n You can define particular characteristics for an object in each infotype. n Some infotypes can be maintained for all object types, the object and relationship infotypes, for

example, others are only relevant for particular object types. The vacancy infotype is only relevant for positions, for example.

n Not all infotypes are absolutely necessary. However, they can provide important information about objects.

n Every object must be allocated an object ID. The object is identified by a combination of plan version, object type and object ID.

n Object IDs are numeric. They may not be alphanumeric. n There are two types of number assignment: Ÿ Internal assignment - the system automatically allocates the object an object ID from the

corresponding number range. Ÿ External assignment - the user enters the object ID.

n You maintain number ranges for object IDs in Customizing. Number ranges for internal number assignment are indicated by the letters “IN”. Number ranges for external number assignment are indicated by the letters “EX”“.

n As the Matchcode is available, it is not generally necessary to enter meaningful numbers. We recommend that you use the internal number assignment.

n Using the Matchcode, you can access structural information, or short or long texts.

n The status feature allows the planning process to be streamlined from within your planning department. Plan versions can be put through a life-cycle process to eventually be accepted or rejected.

n Every infotype is assigned a status: Ÿ Active status indicates that an object or infotype record is currently operable. Ÿ Planned status indicates that an object or infotype record is proposed, but not currently operable. Ÿ Submitted status indicates that an object or infotype record has been submitted for review and

subsequent approval/rejection, by a person or group of persons at your firm. Ÿ Approved status indicates that an object or infotype record, which has previously been submitted

for review, is accepted or authorized. Ÿ Rejected status indicates that an object or infotype record, which has previously been submitted

for review, is rejected or turned down. n Objects can be created in either planned or active status. n You must assign a status to every object or infotype record that you create. You do not, however

have to use all the statuses. Many users use only the active status. n The report RHAKTI00 lets you change the status of several objects at the same time.

Change information

Each infotype uses a start and end date to identify the infotype’s

validity period.

Validity dates:

l Allow you to definethe life span of an object or object characteristic

l Identify changes to your organizationwhile retaininghistorical data

l Allow you to evaluate the organizationalstructure on keydates

n Validity dates determine the life-span of an object. n You must assign a validity period to every object and every infotype record that you create. By

doing this, you can depict all changes that take place in your company. In this way, you obtain a dynamic view of your enterprise.

n Validity dates enable the user to evaluate certain key data or specific time periods from the past, present or future. The data is selected according to the designated time period.

n The validity of an object’s relationships and attributes can only exist within the life-span of the object which is defined in the Object infotype (1000). If an object is delimited, all of the object’s relationships and attributes are automatically delimited. Related objects are be unaffected.

n Time constraints are used by the system to guarantee the integrity of data. n You use time constraints to control system reactions according to company-specific requirements. If

you want to let positions report to a number of superiors, you can set up the time constraint to allow several relationships to exist simultaneously.

n Example of class 1: An object must have a short name stored for it. This information must exist uninterrupted, but can be changed.

n Example of class 2: A position can have a number of Vacancy infotype records assigned for different periods.

n Example of class 3: The Sales department can be related with a number of positions simultaneously.

Unit: Organizational Management – Basics

· Learn the Methodology of Organizational Management

Before you can create an organizational plan for your company in the system, you must be familiar with the methodology of Organizational Management.

1 Objects and relationships are the basic planning elements of Organizational Management. The five basic object types are:

Organizational units O Jobs C Positions S Tasks T Work centers A

2 What are the differences between an organizational structure and a reporting structure?

The organizational structure shows the relationships that exist between the different organizational units.

The reporting structure shows the relationships between the individual positions and their holders.

3 What differences are there between a job, a position, and a work center?

Jobs are general classifications of organizationally coherent tasks in a company. Jobs are a resource used in the creation of positions.

Positions are concrete and can be occupied by employees. They are included in the structure of a company, through their assignment to an organizational unit and should be described by a job.

Through its relationship with a describing job, a position automatically inherits the tasks and characteristics of a job. This reduces input time, as tasks and characteristics do not have to be allocated to each position separately.

Example Job Position Product manager Product manager US Division Product manager Product manager Asia Division

A work center is the physical location where work duties are carried out with the help of certain tools.

Positions are related to work centers. There may be a 1:1 relationship between a position and a work center, but it is also possible to assign several positions to a work center. For this reason, it is not possible to use work centers as an alternative to positions. They complement each other.

4 What are plan versions required for?

You store information on your organizational plan in a plan version. You may create as many plan versions as you wish. Thus, you can maintain several organizational plans in the system at a time. Different plan versions may be uses to store different scenarios. Only one plan version can be the active or integration plan version, this contains the current valid structures of the company. You can use different scenarios for restructuring purposes, to experiment with a new subsidiary, for example.

5 The planning cycle describes a planning procedure model. Infotypes can have the following statuses:

· Active

· Planned

· Submitted

· Approved

· Rejected

Simple Maintenance: Company Scenario

l After the planning phase, your company datawill be maintained in the HR System. First,you create the individual departments in the organizational structure.

l Then you create jobs in a job index,which then forms the basis for creating positions.Finally, you define staff assignments, that is, youassign employees to positions.

l In addition, you can define a task catalog, so thatyou can use the tasks listed in it for job and position descriptions.

In Organizational Management,Simple Maintenance enablesyou to quickly createthe underlying framework of your organizational plan.

n Using Simple Maintenance to create organizational units, jobs, positions, and tasks eliminates all but the most essential details. Simple Maintenance knows which relationships are most commonly required, and generates these relationships automatically when you create an object.

n With Simple Maintenance you can: Ÿ establish and maintain the basic details required for an organizational plan Ÿ establish and maintain a reporting structure (chain of command) that exists among the positions

in an organizational plan Ÿ establish and maintain cost center assignments, as well as default settings for cost centers Ÿ establish and maintain certain infotypes.

n In order to minimize procedures, some functionality is unavailable in Simple Maintenance. n In addition, all objects you create automatically receive active status and an object ID. n Recommendation:

We recommend that you create most of the objects and relationships in your organizational structure using Simple Maintenance. Detail Maintenance is best used to perform maintenance functions on individual objects, it is, in particular, an effective means of updating a particular object’s infotypes.

n Simple maintenance uses a tree structure, which enables you to quickly and easily create a basic framework for your organizational plan.

n When you use simple maintenance, different initial screens enable you to access different functions:

Ÿ The Organizational Plan window enables you to ­ Create and maintain your organizational structure ­ Add jobs and positions to the organizational structure ­ Assign tasks to jobs and positions ­ Create a reporting structure. Ÿ In the Account Assignment window, you assign cost centers to your organizational units and

positions. n In the Characteristics window, you can assign the most important information to your

objects. n Simple maintenance is intended for workflow users and HR users, which means you have

a choice. of two views. The overall view enables users to access all functions required by workflow. The HR view restricts access to the areas relevant to Human Resources.

n If you want to create an organizational plan in Simple Maintenance, the first step is to create a root organizational unit. You can then create all of the subordinate organizational units.

n You can create organizational units and jobs in any order. However, they must exist before you can create their positions.

n Tasks are assigned on the basis of jobs and positions. n You assign cost centers to organizational units and positions. n In the final step, you assign holders to positions (not to jobs!).

n To create a position in Simple Maintenance, select the organizational unit in the staff assignments, under which you want to create the new position. The corresponding relationship record (A/B 003) between the position and the organizational unit is automatically created.

n A fundamental concept in Organizational Management is that all positions must be related with a job.This enables a position to inherit the attributes of the job, which considerably reduces the amount of time required for data entry.

n When you create a position in Simple Maintenance, you can select a describing job from the job index or create a new job. The relationship between job and position (A/B 007) is also created automatically. As a default, the position is given the name of the job.

n You can create more than one position at the same time. The same name is assigned to all of the positions created this way.

n A chief position is a position designated as the leader of a particular organizational unit. You are not required to designate chief positions. If you decide to designate chief positions, the system creates a relationship between the organizational unit and position.

n A chief relationship can also be created between an organizational unit and a position, without the position having to be assigned to the organizational unit.

n Chief positions are also displayed in the organizational structure. n Chief positions can be evaluated in Structural Graphics, they are also relevant for

Workflow processes as well as Compensation Management and Manager‘s Desktop. You define the chain of command between positions using a reporting structure. If you want to create a reporting structure, you must do so either in Detail Maintenance or using the reporting structure function within Simple Maintenance.

n Tip: If you intend to create a reporting structure for your positions, you must define the chief position in the reporting structure.

Task

n For personnel management purposes, tasks are the individual responsibilities, duties, or activities performed by employees.

n All tasks are contained in a Task Catalog. You can create individual tasks or task groups. Individual tasks are single duties or responsibilities such as answering the telephone, inspecting equipment and so on.

n Task groups combine activities that are typically performed together. The advantage of combining tasks into groups is that it saves time when you are assigning tasks to jobs or positions. You create task groups by relating individual tasks with one another. The task group Secretarial tasks, for example, includes the individual tasks answering the telephone, arranging appointments and handling correspondence.

n When you assign tasks, you create relationships between the tasks and the position or job. n Tasks assigned to a job are inherited by the defined position. The task profile allows you to

view all tasks assigned to a position. n If required, you can assign a weighting to tasks. This is optional. The weighting feature

lets you define a recommended time for a job (e.g. for the job Secretary: word processing 75%; telephone calls 10%; filing 10%; arranging business trips 5%).

n Note: You assign tasks to jobs via the job profile.

ã SAP AG

R

Step 6: Assign Cost Center

l Cost distribution:assignment to other cost centers

Inheritance of costcenter assignment bysubordinate objects(organizational units and positions)

l Master cost center

n Organizational units and positions can be assigned cost centers. As well as the master cost center, they can be assigned to additional cost centers via cost distribution.

n If a cost center is assigned to an organizational unit or position as a master cost center, the system creates a relationship record between the organizational unit or the position and the cost center (relationship A 011). You can enter an assignment percentage.

n Additional cost centers may be assigned to organizational units or positions via cost distribution. Infotype record 1018 (cost distribution) is created by the system. Enter a cost center and a percentage for the cost center assignment. The percentage of assignment to the master cost center is calculated by the remaining difference (up to 100%).

n The inheritance principle also applies to cost center assignment. Subordinate organizational units inherit the cost center from their superior objects, Positions inherit the master cost center and cost distribution of their superior organizational units, as long as a different assignment has not been maintained. Note: if a position has been assigned its own master cost center, it will not inherit the master cost center or the cost distribution of its superior object. A position or organizational unit that is assigned cost centers by cost distribution, however, does inherit the master cost center of its superior object.

n Note: If integration with HR Master Data is active, the master cost center is maintained in infotype 0001, Organizational Assignment via the organizational plan. The new cost center assignment function in 4.5 (with the distinction between master cost centers and cost distribution) has made it easy to determine the master cost center for IT 0001 and is completely independent of the assignment percentage.

Solutions

Unit: Simple Maintenance

· Create an organizational structure

· Create a job index and a position catalog

· Assign tasks and cost centers

· Create staff assignments

You can create a basic framework for your organizational plan in Simple Maintenance.

1 Creating organizational units

Choose Human resources à Organizational management à Simple maintenance à Basic org. plan à Create.

In the Organizational unit abbr. field, enter the short name of your organizational unit, and the long text in the Name field.

You can use names of your choice for the short and long text of your root organizational unit (Test XX as a short name and Test enterprise group XX as a long name, for example – XX=group number).

Make sure that you have entered 01.01 of the current year to 31.12.9999 in the validity period field.

Select the Human resources view and then Create. The Organizational Structure / Change screen appears, showing the organizational unit you created.

To create further organizational units, position your cursor on the superior organizational unit (Test enterprise XX) and choose Create or Edit à Create à Organizational units.

In the Create organizational units dialog box, enter the short and long texts of the organizational units you wish to create (abbreviation Personnel, name Personnel department, for example).

Make sure that the organizational units you are creating and their relationships to the superior organizational unit are created from the beginning of the current year, by choosing Period.

Save your entries.

In this way, you can also create sales offices for your sales department.

2 Creating Jobs

Once you have created your organizational structure, you should be in the Organizational Structure / Change window. To access the Staff Assignments / Change window, choose Staff assignments or Goto à Staff assignments.

To create jobs, choose Edit à Create à Jobs.

In the Create jobs window, enter the abbreviations and the names of the jobs you require (the abbreviation Man and the name Manager for the job Manager, for example).

Make sure that the validity period of your jobs has the start date 01.01. of the current year. To check this, choose Period.

Save your entries.

Note: You can also create jobs at the same time as you create positions.

3 Job profiles

In the Staff Assignments / Change window, choose Goto à Job profiles. A list of the jobs you have created appears.

Position the cursor on the job you wish to edit and choose Task or Edit à Assign à Task.

In the Choose Task dialog box, choose Structure search.

If the Business Application Components are displayed, choose View task catalog.

Select a general or specific task from the task catalog by flagging the check box, and choose Transfer.

If you want to assign a weighting percentage to the tasks you assign, chose Percent and enter a percentage rate.

Save your entries.

Notes:

· You can enter or change weighting percentages at a later date by positioning the cursor on a task and choosing Edit à Change à Weighting percentage.

· To display the weighting percentages you have assigned, choose View à Percent on.

· The Task group button is only relevant for workflow tasks. As from release 4.5 there is a new object type, Task group (TG). You assign task groups to tasks relevant for workflow. If a job is assigned to a task group, all workflow tasks in the task group are assigned to the job. In contrast, tasks of object type T are task groups if other, more specific tasks that are usually carried out together are assigned to them. These general tasks and the specific tasks assigned to them are both object type T.

4 Creating positions

You can add positions in the Staff Assignments / Change screen. To do this, position the cursor on the organizational unit to which you want to assign positions and choose Create positions or Edit à Create à Positions.

Enter the abbreviation of the describing job in the top field of the dialog box that appears. You can also search for a describing job using the search functions, to do this, choose the scroll button to the right of the filed for the job abbreviation.

Once you have selected a describing job, the abbreviation and name of the job are automatically suggested for the position you are creating. Change the abbreviation and name of your position and determine the number of positions you want to create (the default value is 1).

Make sure that the validity period of all positions starts on 01.01. of the current year.

Save your entries.

The following relationships are created automatically by the system:

· Organizational unit incorporates position (B003) as well as the inverse relationship position belongs to organizational unit (A003)

· Position is described by Job (B007) as well as the inverse relationship Job describes position (A007).

5 Assigning tasks to positions

In the Staff Assignments / Change window, position the cursor on the position to which you want to assign tasks and choose Task profile or Goto à Task profile.

The Task Profile / Change screen appears. Position the cursor on the position and choose Task or Edit à Assign à Task.

In the Choose Task dialog box, choose Structure Search.

If the Business Application Components appear, choose View task catalog.

Select a general or specific task by flagging the check box, and choose transfer.

If you want to assign a weighting percentage to the tasks you assign, choose Percent and enter a percentage rate.

Save your entries.

Notes:

· You can assign a weighting percentage to the describing job (50%, for example). This means that the tasks stored for the job will represent X% (50%, for example) of the tasks that have to be performed by the position. The remaining 50% will be made up of tasks assigned specifically to the position.

· To display weighting percentages, choose View à Percent on.

· In the Task Profile / Change screen, you can assign tasks to the describing job or the organizational unit to which the position belongs, in the same way as you assigned tasks to positions.

6 Assigning cost centers

There are two ways to access the Account Assignment / Change screen:

· Choose Human resources à Organizational management à Simple maintenance à Account assignment à Change. Enter the abbreviation for your root organizational unit in the Organizational unit field or search using one of the search functions. Choose Change or Account à Change.

· From the Organizational Structure / Change or the Staff Assignments / Change screen, choose Goto à Account assignment.

The Account Assignment / Change screen appears. Position the cursor on the organizational unit, which you want to assign a cost center and choose Master cost center or Edit à Master cost center à Create.

Enter a cost center and controlling area in the dialog box that appears (Assign Cost Center).

The start date of the assignment is 01.01 of the current year.

Save your entries. The assigned cost center will appear in the tree structure.

The procedure for assigning a master cost center to a position is the same.

7 Flagging chief positions and creating a reporting structure

7-1 Assigning a chief position

There are various ways of flagging a position as the chief position of an organizational unit. The following relationships are created between a position and an organizational unit, irrespective of the method you select: Position manages organizational unit (A012) as well as the inverse relationship organizational unit is managed by position (B012). The position can, but does not have to belong to the organizational unit. This relationship indicates that the position manages the organizational unit.

7-1-1 Creating a chief relationship between a position and the organizational unit it belongs to

To make the position Sales manager the chief position of the sales department, follow this procedure:

From the Staff Assignments / Change screen, position the cursor on a position (Sales manager, for example) and choose Edit à Chief position à Create.

The Create chief position window appears. Choose Create, a chief relationship is created between the position you selected and the organizational unit it belongs to.

7-1-2 Assigning a chief position and creating a reporting structure between the chief position and the remaining positions in the department

To define Manager of sales office 2 and Manager of marketing department as chief positions and create a reporting structure between these and the remaining jobs in the department, follow this procedure:

In the Staff Assignments / Change or the Organizational Structure / Change screen, position the cursor on an organizational unit (sales office 2, for example) and choose Goto à Reporting structure.

Position the cursor on the position you want to make the chief position (Manager of sales office 2, for example) and choose Chief or Edit à Chief position à Create assignment.

The Create chief position window appears. If you choose Create, a chief relationship is created between the position you selected and the organizational unit.

In the dialog box that follows, you are asked whether you want to subordinate the remaining positions. If you select Yes, a detailed selection box appears, in which, you can determine, by flagging the check boxes, which positions are to be subordinate to the chief position. As a default, all positions in the organizational unit are flagged.

Once you have saved, the reporting structure is created, that is, a relationship (A/B002 reports to / is line manager of) is created between the chief position and the remaining relationships.

7-2 Creating a reporting structure

Reporting structures between positions are created using the following relationships: Position X reports to Position Y (A002) as well as the inverse relationship Position Y is line manager of Position X (B002). A reporting structure is required if the actual chain of command in your company varies from the reporting structure suggested by the organizational structure.

7-2-1 Creating a reporting structure between positions that belong to one organizational unit

In the Staff Assignments / Change or Organizational Structure / Change screen, position the cursor on the organizational unit of the position you want to edit and choose Goto à Reporting structure.

In the Reporting Structure / Change screen, position the cursor on the position that you want to elevate and choose Elevate or Edit à Elevate à Within org. unit.

In the Choose positions for subordination window that follows, flag the check boxes next to the positions that you want to subordinate.

Save your entries.

7-2-2 Optional

Creating a reporting structure between positions that belong to different organizational units

If you want the manager of the marketing department to report to the manager of the sales department, follow this procedure:

In the Staff Assignments / Change or the Organizational Structure / Change screen: position the cursor on the organizational unit (Sales department) of the

position you want to make superior and choose Goto à Reporting structure.

In the Reporting Structure / Change window, position the cursor on the position concerned and choose Edit à Elevate à General.

In the Choose Position dialog box, enter the abbreviation of the position that you want to subordinate (manager of marketing department, for example), or use the structure search to select one.

8 Assigning persons

In the Staff Assignments / Change window, position the cursor on the position to be occupied and choose Assign holder or Edit à Assign à Holder.

In the window that follows, enter either the personnel number of the employee directly or use the search helps to select an employee. Note that the object type of the holder is P (person) and not US (user).

The start date for the assignment should be 01.01. of the current year.

The Staffing percentage indicates how much of an employee’s working time (stored in infotype 0007 Planned Working Time, in Master Data) he or she spends in a position.

Warning: You are not working in the integration plan version. This assignment will not be transferred to infotype 0001, Organizational Assignment in HR Master Data!

Example:

n Evaluation paths define how a tree structure will be created. As objects may have multiple relationships, not all will be applicable or even possible in a single view.

n Evaluation paths represent two or more relationships combined together branching out from a root object.

n Example: To view Staff assignments along the organizational structure you would start with an Organizational Unit and identify relationships to incorporated positions then, from the positions, identify persons holding those positions. After the cycle is finished you go to any subordinate organizational units and start the cycle again.

n In some organizational structures, there is too much importance placed on the goals of the department. Enterprises should be structured so that the global goals of the whole enterprise are not forgotten. This can be done by introducing a matrix organization.

n A matrix organization is a two-dimensional chain of command, in which positions, for example, report to more than one superior. A feature of the matrix organization is that more than one manager can overlap on the same level: there can be managers responsible for functions (Finance, Manufacturing, Human Resources and so on) and managers responsible for objects; in the same way, you could also have managers responsible for projects, or regional managers.

n Example: Above is a product-matrix organization. A position or department reports not only to their line manager but to the manager of the product line.

Unit: Creating Other Structures in Simple Maintenance

· Create objects of different object types

· Create a matrix organization

In your company there are “legally independent units”, these have to be created. The sales representatives in your sales office report to more than one superior. They report to the head of the sales department as well as to different divisions. This multiple subordination is represented in a matrix organization.

1 Creating and editing structures with General Structure Maintenance

Your test enterprise is assigned an international subsidiary of a holding (see picture 3).

Create the holding as a legally independent unit (object type OR). This unit is assigned to the international subsidiary that is also object type OR. Give the holding and the international subsidiary names of your choice. There should also be a subsidiary for your country. You have assigned this from your organizational structure up until now.

There is also a third sales office that, like the remaining sales offices, reports to the general sales department.

Use General Structure Maintenance to create the above structure. The root object (Holding XX – XX = group number) is object type OR, the evaluation path you need is Z_TEST.

Note: The evaluation path Z_Test is structured as follows:

Object type Relationship Object type

OR B400 (is mother of) OR OR A401 (is assigned to) O O B002 (is line manager of) O

with: Object type OR: Legally independent unit Object type O: Organizational unit

2 Creating matrix organizations

The sales representatives in the sales offices report to the head of the sales department for disciplinary reasons. They are also assigned to various divisions. To depict this multiple subordination, you use a matrix organization.

Access the matrix organization via the standard selection.

Dimension 1 of the matrix should include the functional part of the organizational plan of your test enterprise (organizational structure and assigned positions). Dimension 2 should include the various divisions.

Enter object type O (organizational unit) in dimension 1 as well as the root organizational unit Test enterprise. Select the evaluation path PLSTE (position overview along organizational structure) for dimension 1.

Enter object type IL (for division) in dimension 2 and select any division. You do not have to enter an evaluation path.

As a relationship between the two dimensions, choose: Relationship type / Relationship: A Relationship object: Z30 Note: This relationship A/BZ30 (Division assignment) has been created for this exercise and is not in the Standard System.

Assign the Sales representative positions to the different divisions (see picture 4).

Unit: Creating Other Structures in Simple Maintenance

· Create objects of different object types

· Create a matrix organization

In your company there are "legal entities", these have to be created.

The sales representatives in your sales office report to more than one superior. They report to the head of the sales department as well as to different divisions. This multiple subordination is represented in a matrix organization.

1 Creating and editing structures in General Structure Maintenance

To access General Structure Maintenance, choose Human resources à Organizational management à Simple maintenance à General structures à Create.

Enter the following in the Create Structure screen:

Object type OR (legal entity) Abbreviation Test Hold, for example. Name Holding Test XX (XX = group number), for example Evaluation path Z_Test Validity period 01.01. of the current year, to 31.12.9999

Choose Create or Structure à Create. The legal entity is created under the abbreviation and name you selected.

To create additional legal entities, that are to be the child of the superior object, position the cursor on the new legal entity Holding Test XX and choose Create or Edit à Create Object.

In the Select relationship dialog box, choose relationship B400 (is mother of).

The Create legal entities dialog box appears, enter abbreviations and names for all the further legal entities you wish to create (for the US subsidiary US sub as an abbreviation and the name US subsidiary, for example).

Check the validity periods by choosing Period. The validity periods of both the objects and the relationships should have the start date 01.01. of the current year.

Save your entries. The additional legal entities (US subsidiary, for example) and their relationships to the superior legal entities (Subsidiary US is child of Holding test XX (A400) as well as the inverse relationship (Holding test XX is mother of Subsidiary US (B400)) are created.

To arrange your organizational structure under one of the legal entities (US subsidiary, for example), position the cursor on the relevant legal entity and choose Edit à Create à Relationship.

In the Select relationship dialog box, select relationship A401 (is assigned to).

In the Select organizational unit dialog box, enter the abbreviation of the root organizational unit of your organizational structure directly or use the search function to select one.

The Assign organizational units window displays the relationships between the objects.

Save your entries. The corresponding relationship records between the legal entities (US subsidiary, for example) and the organizational units (test enterprise XX) are created (A/B401).

2 Creating matrix organizations

To access matrix maintenance, choose Human resources à Organizational management à Simple maintenance à Matrix à Change.

In the Access Matrix Organization window, choose Standard selection and Enter.

For Dimension 1 enter the following:

Object type: O (organizational unit) Object ID: ID of root organizational unit (Test XX, for example) Evaluation path: PLSTE (position overview along org. structure)

To enter the object ID of the root organizational unit, choose the scroll button for the filed and use one of the search functions (structure search, for example).

For Dimension 2 enter the following:

Object type: IL (division) Object ID: IDs of 3 divisions of your choice Evaluation path: -

To select an object ID, position the cursor on the field and choose scroll, then choose your divisions from the list displayed.

For the Relationship between the dimensions, select:

Relationship type/number: A Relationship object: Z30

The validity period of the relationship should be 01.01. of the current year to 31.12.9999. You can create relationships in matrix maintenance within this validity period.

Select Matrix view and then Execute or Program à Execute.

The Matrix View: Change screen appears.

· The lines display the organizational units and positions in dimension 1 that, using the root organizational unit as a starting point, have been found along the evaluation path PLSTE.

· The columns display the divisions you selected in dimension 2.

To create a relationship between a position (sales representative) and a division, click on the small square in the corresponding cell.

In the Create Relationship dialog box, check the validity period (01.01. of the current year to 31.12.9999).

Choose Enter. The relationship entered in the initial screen (A Z30) between the position and the division as well as the inverse relationship (B Z30) between division and position.

Note: The relationship A/BZ30 is created for the exercise and does not exist in the Standard System.

Overview

Structural Graphics in Organizational Management

Enables you to viewobjects and relationships in a structural format.

Enables you to workwith objects (i.e. createmove, change) in a graphical environment.

n Structural Graphics serves two main purposes in Organizational Management: Ÿ It lets you view structures and objects contained in an organizational plan in a hierarchical

format. Ÿ It lets you perform a variety of maintenance activities (such as creating, moving, or delimiting)

for the different objects in your organizational plan. n Structural Graphics is a graphical representation of the report on which it is based. n Structural Graphics is particularly advantageous since it is easier to perceive the inter-relationships

between objects in a structure when they are presented as a graphic. Structural Graphics is also very helpful when you want to move objects within structures.

n The Structural Graphics tools are intended to be used for planning and maintaining organizational charts, rather than for creating your initial organizational structure. Use Simple Maintenance to create the basic objects and relationships.

n Maintenance activities are carried out using one of two methods: Ÿ You can use the Structural Graphics Toolbox in conjunction with the main Graphics window. Ÿ You can use the menu options behind Utilities and Extras.

n The Toolbox is a collection of functions that allow you to perform basic editing, for example, creating, inserting, moving, and delimiting.

n The Toolbox is used in conjunction with the main Graphics window. Generally, you use the Graphics window to identify which object you want to work with, and next use the Toolbox to indicate what you want to do with the selected object.

n Procedures for maintaining objects are streamlined in Structural Graphics, so that it is faster and easier than working in Detail Maintenance. However, some functions are unavailable as a result. For example, Structural Graphics is mainly geared to creating relationship infotype records.

n It is possible to customize the options offered in the Toolbox, so options may vary from company to company. (For details on Customizing the Toolbox see the Implementation Guide, under Global Settings for Personnel Management.)

n Infotypes allow you to describe, or define, the different characteristics or attributes that objects have. Once you create an object (for example, an organizational unit, a job, or a position), you identify its characteristics by appending different infotypes to the object.

n The different infotypes are identified through a name and as well as a 4-digit number. (Infotype 1001 Relationships, infotype 1002 Description, for example).

n Each kind of infotype allows you to describe a different set of attributes for an object. For example, the Relationship infotype allows you to describe how two objects are linked together, or associated. The Work Schedule infotype allows you to state required work hours for a position, organizational unit, or work center.

n Some infotypes are only relevant for certain types of objects. For example, the Vacancy infotype only applies to positions, the Character infotype only to tasks, and so on. Alternatively, some infotypes may be used by all types of objects, such as the Relationship and Description infotypes.

n Note: The inheritance principle applies for objects in the organizational structure. In other words, objects in a hierarchical structure inherit the attributes of their superior objects unless the specific attribute has been maintained for the underlying object. Jobs and positions have a special relationship. Positions inherit the tasks assigned to jobs. These tasks can then be extended or modified as required at the level of the position.

n The Object infotype is a special infotype. Rather than describing the characteristics or attributes of an existing object, the purpose of the Object infotype is different:

n It allows you to create new objects, for example, organizational units, jobs, and positions. n It determines the lifecycle of all other infotypes created for the object. n To create new objects you must maintain the following data: n Validity period of the object n Status n Object abbreviation (12 characters) n Name (40 characters) n After creating an object with this infotype, you can then describe the characteristics and attributes of

the object using the other infotypes available, for example, the Relationship (1001) and Description (1002) infotypes.

The Relationship infotypeallows you to define or describe the interrelationshipsthat exist between thedifferent objects that you work with.

You manually create relationshiprecords when you work in Detail Maintenance. However, when you work in Simple Maintenance and Structural Graphics, the system automatically creates certainrelationship infotype records.

Relationships

n There are a large number of different relationships that you can create between objects. Each individual relationship you create represents a subtype of the Relationship infotype.

n Not all relationships apply to every object. n Certain relationship types allow you to store additional information for the object, such as a

weighting percentage or a priority. n When creating a relationship, the inverse relationship is created by the system when applicable.

Organizational Units

MarketingInfo

systemsFinanceProduction

Team 1 Team 2 Organizational Units act as departments.

Organizational Unit performs staff functions.

Department / Staff

n The Department/Staff infotype is only used when you work with organizational units or positions. It fulfills two purposes:

n The Staff indicator (organizational units and positions): A staff flag indicates that an organizational unit or position is not part of the normal reporting structure at your firm, but rather reports directly to a high level position or organizational unit. For example, the Personnel Department as a staff department is not typically part of a company's reporting structure. It reports directly to the Executive board. The Staff indicator is graphically evaluated.

n The Department indicator (organizational units): It is only necessary to apply department flags when integration is active between Organizational Management and Personnel Administration. Certain records are written from Organizational Management to Personnel Administration when integration is active, as well as the organizational unit to which an employee is assigned via his position. Using the department indicator, you can determine, which directly or indirectly superior organizational units in infotype 0001 (Organizational Assignment), the employee should take on. It is only necessary to use the department indicator, if you want to define organizational units in more detail in Organizational Management than is needed in Personnel Administration. If you would like to use the department indicator in your company, you must set the switch PPABT PPABT in table T77SO to 1.

ã SAP AG 1999

Vacancy

This infotype allows you toidentify position vacancies. A vacancy occurs when a position is not occupied either currently or at some point in the future and should be occupied again.

The information stored hereis used in, among other things,Personnel Cost Planningand Recruitment.

n The Vacancy infotype lets you flag a position as vacant, by which we mean that it should be reoccupied.

n The Vacancy infotype can be created for a position that is occupied or unoccupied. You can flag an occupied position as vacant if you know that the position holder will be leaving the position at some point in the future (as a result of a promotion or transfer, for example).

n Positions can not be flagged simultaneously as vacant and obsolete. If a vacant position is flagged as obsolete, the vacancy is delimited at the start of the validity of the obsolete flag (minus one day).

n The vacancy infotype is important because the information maintained in it is used by other components also. If you use Personnel Cost Planning, for example, the system can take vacancies into account when it calculates cost projections. Furthermore, vacancies are registered in Career and Succession Planning where, for example, they can be used when you search for suitable positions for an employee. If integration with Personnel Administration (PA) is active, PA's Recruitment component also checks vacancy records.

n It is not mandatory to maintain the Vacancy infotype. If your company does not distinguish between occupied and unoccupied positions, that is, you consider all unoccupied positions to be vacant, you can make the necessary settings in Customizing. If you want to activate integration with Recruitment, you need to maintain vacancies using infotype 1007.

ã SAP AG 1999

Obsolete

The Obsolete infotypedenotes positions that areno longer necessarybut are still occupied.

In an integrated system, denoting a position as obsolete also affects Personnel Administration.

n The Account Assignment Features infotype can be created for organizational units and positions. n It stores default values relevant to: Ÿ the Personnel Administration component if integration is Ÿ the cost center assignment of organizational units and positions.

n If integration with HR Master Data is active, the Account Assignment Features infotype provides values for the classification of employees in the personnel structure. These values may be personnel areas, personnel subareas or business areas. If the data you enter differs from the default values, a warning message will appear.

n When you enter a personnel area, the assigned company code and the controlling area assigned to the company code are determined.

n The inheritance principle applies to the default values in account assignment. Subordinate organizational units and positions inherit the account assignment of their superior organizational units.

Note: A personnel area and cost center must belong to the same company code before an employee may

be assigned both.

This infotype allows you toassign a position to an employee group and employee subgroup.

Employee Group/Subgroup

n The Employee Group/Subgroup infotype has the following functions: n When a position, that has been maintained accordingly, is occupied by an employee, the system will

suggest an employee group and employee subgroup, if integration is active. If you enter a different employee group or subgroup, a warning message appears.

n Assigning a position to an employee group/subgroup also allows the system to determine the Work Schedule Group and the relevant working time. Employee groups and subgroup factor heavily in SAP Payroll

n The default value for the personnel area is based on the organizational unit concerned or the Account Assignment Features infotype (1008), if it has been maintained for the position.

n The default values for employee group and subgroup are based on infotype (1013), Employee group/subgroup.

n Additional default values can also appear in the Organizational Assignment infotype (0001): The default values for Business area and Personnel subarea come from the Account Assignment Features infotype (1008) for the position (or organizational unit) concerned.

The Work Schedule infotypeallows you to define a work schedule - the average number of hours worked - for organizational units, work centers, or positions.

In Organizational Management, work schedules are forreference purposes.

Work Schedule

n You can create a standard working time (hours per day, per week, per month, per year) that is valid company-wide. You do so in Customizing. If you also need to assign different work schedules for certain sections of the company, you can do so using the Work Schedule infotype.

n Note: Store a company-wide work schedule for your company‘s root organizational unit in the Work schedule infotype. This is necessary in order to retain a history which can be evaluated if changes occur. If the company-wide work schedule is defined solely in Customizing, the history of changes in the Organizational Plan will not be stored.

n The inheritance principle applies to the Work Schedule infotype. The system observes the following order when determining which work schedule to assign to an object:

.Check whether a work schedule is maintained for the work center.

.Check whether a work schedule is maintained for the position.

.Check whether a work schedule is maintained for the employee group/subgroup.

.Check whether a work schedule is maintained for the organizational unit assigned directly or indirectly. .Read the default values in Customizing.

n You can also define work schedules based on employee groups and subgroups (see point 3). Employee groups /subgroups are assigned to work schedule groups in Customizing. Using the Work Schedule infotype, you can define a specific work schedule for an organizational unit. This is done taking into account the order for determining work schedules (above), for directly or indirectly assigned positions to which a corresponding employee subgroup is assigned, via the Employee Group/Subgroup infotype.

n When you create work schedules, you gain an overview of work schedules in your enterprise. Think about which objects you then have to assign a work schedule to.

n Using this infotype, you can assign compensation information to jobs, positions and work centers. n The Planned Remuneration infotype is subdivided into three alternative planned remuneration types: Ÿ Wage/salary

Under wage/salary, you can enter data from the salary structure (wage/salary group or wage/salary level). You can also determine the remuneration area, that is the highest and lowest amounts that may be paid for certain jobs or positions.

Ÿ Rate Under rate, you can enter data from the rate structure, that is pay scale area, group and level. You can also enter the highest and lowest salary allowed for a job or position here.

Ÿ Direct This allows you to enter the highest and lowest amount that can be paid for a job or position directly. Use the planned remuneration type if you do not have a salary or rate structure.

n If integration with Master Data is active, you can use the Planned remuneration infotype (1005) to suggest default values for the Basic Pay infotype in Master Data. These default values are based on the data on salary or rate which are saved for the employee‘s position.

n If salary data has been maintained, the system checks that the amounts entered in the Basic Pay infotype (0008) against the salary area that has been entered for this salary group.

Health Examinations (1009) and Restrictions (1006) Infotype

The infotype Health Examinationsallows you to identify any healthrequirements of a work center.

The infotype Restrictionsspecifies whether the work centeris suited to a particular groupof people.

n Health information is categorized in two subtypes: Ÿ Health exclusions Ÿ Health examinations

n Use the Health Exclusion subtype when employees are excluded from a work center if they have, or have had, a certain ailment. For example, persons who have had TB may be excluded from work centers where food is handled.

n Use the Health Examination subtype when a particular health examination must be performed on a regular basis. For example, an eye or hearing test may be required.

n Use the Restrictions infotypes for work centers. It lets you flag work centers that are unsuitable for certain groups of persons for reasons of location, equipment, or working time. For example, a work center that has no wheelchair access would be unsuitable for disabled employees, until the construction of a wheelchair ramp is completed.

Solutions

Unit: Detail Maintenance

· Learn the functions of Detail Maintenance

· Apply the functions of Detail Maintenance

Certain detailed types of information on your organizational plan can only be entered in Detail Maintenance. You now want to edit some of these infotypes.

1 What is the difference between the functions Create and Change?

When you create infotypes, you set up new time periods to which information can be appended. You should create new time periods to store changes that are to be archived (the old infotype record is delimited accordingly).

When you change infotypes, you change information in periods that already exist. No archiving takes place. You should only use this function for correction purposes e.g. for typing errors or to add missing information.

2 What is the difference between the functions Delete and Delimit? What do you have to consider when you carry out the function Delete?

When you delete an infotype, the entire record is deleted. No archiving takes place. Only delete infotype records in the event of incorrect entries. When you delete an object, all other dependent information (attributes, relationships) is deleted too. You can only delete an object by choosing Object à Delete, not by choosing the Delete icon.

You delimit objects when the information is no longer required after a certain date. The object or infotype record is not deleted, merely delimited from a certain date on. Archiving is possible. All dependent relationships of the object are also automatically delimited.

3 What is special about the Object infotype (1000)?

The Object infotype has time constraint 1, which means that the information must exist for the complete life-cycle of the object. The information can, however, be changed. The validity period of the object affects all other dependent information on the object, which has the same validity. If you delete this infotype or delimit it, you automatically delete or delimit all dependent information as well.

n In structural reporting (such as reporting using RHSTRU00), you always use an evaluation path. n The report RHSTRU00 evaluates structural information. Starting from a root object or objects, the

report evaluates all related objects in the structure along a specified evaluation path n Proceed as follows: Ÿ Enter one or more root objects that you want to report on. Ÿ Select the required structure via an evaluation path.

n The report interprets the specified object(s) as the root of a tree structure, enters the structure at this root and displays the related objects on the screen. The hierarchical level of an object is recognized by its respective indentation on the report.

n If you leave a field blank on the selection screen, the system interprets this as all objects. This does not apply to the field Evaluation path, which must contain an entry.

n When reporting on basic object types (such as organizational plan or staffing schedule), you can branch to the Standard Selection Screen to specify further report parameters.

ã SAP AG

R

An evaluation path representsa chain linking the relationshipthat exists between certain objects.

You specify the desired evaluation path and the system checks therelationships between theobjects in your organizational structure.The system evaluates all objects that it finds in thechosen evaluation path.

The report can be started immediately, i.e., without making any additional entries in the selection screen of the report. As a rule, programs are preset and contain the necessary data. Alternatively, you can call the program’s selection screen when you start the report and then make additional specifications.

Ÿ Reporting Depth: This is only for structural reporting and can only be started for an object selected in a graphic or for all the underlying objects.

Ÿ Data Collection Depth: The advantage of HRIS is that it can create a report from HR master data for persons automatically chosen when you select an organizational unit in a graphic. In this case, you must specify whether the report should just include persons belonging to the selected organizational unit or whether it should include all persons belonging to all the underlying organizational units.

Ÿ Reporting period: By entering a period for the object selection, the selection of objects to be evaluated can be delimited, depending on their validity.

n In this step, you set up the plan versions which you require for your company. n Plan versions enable you to administer several organizational plans parallel in the system. Different

plan versions can be used to experiment with different scenarios, for simulations and for comparison purposes.

n However, one plan version must contain the information that identifies the actual state of operations at your company. This plan is called the active plan and is used for all cross application maintenance.

n The current plan version is the plan version that is currently being worked on in the system. n When you request reports, the system can extract information only from one plan version. n Note:

The plan version “.:” must not be used or deleted since it is used for the transport of plan versions.

n In this step, you specify in which plan version you want to maintain your data, that is, the active plan version. Careful consideration is necessary when deciding which is to be the active plan version. If integration is active, the plan version you select here as active is the integration plan version.

n In the parameter group PLOGI PLOGI, enter the plan version that is to be the active plan version in the semantic abbreviation field.

n In the step Create Data Sets, you determine what information about objects and relationships is displayed in Structural Graphics and the order in which it is displayed. You can display text using the text module defined in T77GF. The sequence of text modules is defined separately for the detail and overview screens and the info. window. These entries can be specific to an object type or you can enter * for a generic object type. Values concerning the display of relationship texts can be stored by relationship subtype. The generic entries A* and B* are permissible.

n In the step Create Designs you make the settings for the graphical format of structures (the organizational plan, for example). You can make settings concerning line type, color and object form. Two design types are supported for the graphical representation of structures: Ÿ Using the type-oriented design type, you can set line types, colors and object forms you require

according to object type or relationship type. Ÿ Using the status-oriented design type, you can set line types, colors and object forms according to

the status of the object or relationship. n In the step Create Tool Boxes, you can determine which function or ‘tool’ (creating or moving

objects, for example) are to be offered in the Structural Graphics. Several tools can make up a tool group. Several tool groups can make up a tool box.

n Note: If you require your own data set, design or tool box, we recommend that you copy a data set, design or tool box that already exists and adjust it to suit your requirements.

n In this step Context-Dependent Standard Assignment, you can assign various settings to an application context. Each application (e.g. Organizational Plan, Career Planning, Shift Planning) that accesses Graphics accesses a certain context.

n In the step User-Dependent Assignment, you maintain user-specific graphical editing per context. This means that any user that accesses Graphics in a specific application context can change the standard settings that determine how object information and toolboxes are represented to suit his/her own individual requirements.

n In this step, you make the settings required for changing standard object types and creating new object types. This includes the following system settings:

n Essential relationship: If you are using structural authorization, the essential relationship determines the relationship type that must be created when you create an object of a particular object type.

n External object types: You define the interface program used for reading external object types.

n Structure search: You define the evaluation path used in the Matchcode structure search for the various object types.

n You can create two-digit object types in the range 01 to 99.

n In this step, you specify whether number assignment is plan version-specific or whether it applies to all plan versions: Ÿ If you decide to use plan version-specific number assignment, you can define number intervals

per plan version and per object type. Example: Subgroup 10S = Number assignment for object type S in plan version 10

Ÿ If you decide to use number assignment for all plan versions, you can define number intervals per object type that are valid for all plan versions in the step Maintain Number Ranges. Example: Sub-group $$O = Number assignment for object type O in all plan versions. Number assignment for all plan versions has the advantage that objects will not be overwritten when objects are copied from one plan version to another.

n The subgroup names are set up so that the first two characters specify the plan version and the last two specify the object type.

n The standard entry $$$$ in the field Subgroup stands for all number ranges not listed explicitly. Do not delete this entry.

n You can differentiate between external and internal number assignment in each subgroup: Ÿ Internal number assignment: the SAP R/3 System assigns numbers in this case. Internal number

ranges are indicated by the letters IN. Ÿ External number assignment: the user assigns numbers in this case. External number ranges are

indicated by the letters EX and a flag in the External field. n Recommendation: Since the matchcode function is available for selection of objects, it is not

necessary to assign 'mnemonic' numbers to objects. SAP recommends that you use internal number assignment.

n In this step, you can change the attributes of an infotype. An infotype is a collection of logical or business-related characteristics of an object.

n You can make the following configurations: Ÿ You can change the infotype names. Ÿ You can assign infotypes to standard object types or to customer-specific object types. Ÿ You can define a different time constraint for an infotype.

n In the case of infotypes with underlying subtypes, you define the time constraint per subtype. If you want to create your own subtypes, you must carry out the step Maintain subtypes and define a time constraint per subtype.

n You can create four-digit infotypes in the range 9000 to 9999. An example of possible sub-divisions:

n Infotype Area Customer master data 9000 to 9099 Customer plan data 9100 to 9199 Customer time data 9200 to 9299

n In the step Maintain customer-specific settings for infotypes, you can specify alternative screens to the standard screens for existing infotypes.

n In this step, you make the settings necessary for creating subtypes for infotypes. n You can create new subtypes for standard infotypes or for customer-specific infotypes. In either

case, you have to assign a time constraint to both subtypes and infotypes. n Example:

Infotype Subtype 1011 Work schedule 0001 Salaried employee 1011 Work schedule 0002 Hourly-paid 1011 Work schedule 0003 AT 1011 Work schedule ALL All working time groups

n You can create four-digit subtypes in the range from 9000 to 9999. n Relationships are special subtypes of the Relationship infotype (1001).

You can create relationships in the name range AAA to ZZZ. You must then maintain the step Maintain Relationships since there are a number of special points to note when setting up these subtypes.

n By creating relationships between objects, you can display all of the structures that exist in Organizational Management. Relationships are special subtypes of infotype 1001. Each relationship has two relationship types, indicated by A and B (bottom up (A) and top down (B)). For each relationship created (A or B), the corresponding inverse relationship is automatically set up. In this step, you make the detailed settings that are required for creating the relationship types.

n Relationship attributes: You can control the response of the system (error messages, warnings, information) if the 100% mark is exceeded in the case of "weighted" relationships.

n Additional relationship information: You can determine whether additional relationship information can be entered and whether the weighting percentage of a relationship should be shown or hidden. Additional information that is customer-specific can only be entered for customer-specific relationships and then only by agreement with SAP.

n Allowed relationships: You can define the object types that are allowed for each relationship.

n External relationships: You can set up external relationships. External relationships are relationships that are not stored in the HRP1001 database.

n Time constraints: You must assign a time constraint to each relationship, depending on the object type. If the time constraint should also be dependent on the target object type, you must maintain this setting in the step Define time constraint dependent on target object type.

n In this step, you set up the required evaluation paths. In Organizational Management reporting, the relationships existing between objects are processed in a logical sequence. One or more relationships form the navigation paths for an evaluation. These enable you to report on structural information (for example, the organizational structure or the reporting structure.)

n Example: Evaluation path Staffing of positions: n No. Obj.Type Relationship Priority Type rel'd object Skip

010 O B 003 * S 020 S A 008 * P 030 O B 002 * O

n In this evaluation path, the system finds each position (S) assigned to a certain organizational unit (O) and the holder of this position (P). All underlying organizational units are processed in the same way.

n In the field Skip in individual maintenance, you can determine that a particular relationship should be included in the evaluation path, but that the results should not be displayed.

n You can create alphanumeric evaluation paths with a maximum of 8 characters starting with Z. n Should you wish to have an alternative evaluation path for a report that has a SAP standard

evaluation path, you can specify this in the column Value abbr.

n In this step, you make the required configurations for setting up a personnel action. Using personnel actions, you can create objects (positions, work centers etc) as well as maintain the characteristics of these objects. When you carry out a personnel action, the relevant infotypes appear one after another. The order in which the infotypes appear can be determined in this step.

n Each step of a personnel action is made up of the processing of an individual infotype. You assign the following to each step of a personnel action: Ÿ A plan version Ÿ An object type Ÿ An infotype or a subtype Ÿ A status Ÿ Default values for relationships with the target object type Ÿ Function code, e.g. create and change

n Note: Ÿ When defining a personnel action, make sure that that you are assigning infotypes in a logical

order. The Object infotype (000) should always be edited first and have 001 as its line number. Ÿ Each personnel action can only be defined for one object type. Ÿ You can create 3-character numerical personnel actions from 001 to 999.

Unit: Customizing Organizational Management

· Configure the system in Organizational Management

You want to configure the Standard System to suit your company’s requirements

1 Create a customer-specific relationship

There is a distinction made in your organization between substitute 1 and substitute 2. To depict this, you have to determine customer-specific relationships. Via these relationships, position holders are to be assigned substitutes.

Create customer-.specific relationship ZXX (XX=group number) so that substitute 1 can be assigned.

Use the following relationship type names:

· AZXX is substitute 1 for

· BZXX has as substitute 1

(XX = group number)

These relationship types are only valid for object type Person.

Select suitable time constraints for the relationship types, a position holder can only be assigned one substitute at a time.

2 Creating an evaluation path

Create a new evaluation path Z_XX (XX = group number), which displays your organizational structure with positions and persons. Substitute 1 should also be displayed for the position holders.

You can also include in your evaluation path that division assignments should also be displayed for positions.

3 Using new evaluation paths to create and edit customer-specific structures in General structure maintenance

Maintain your organizational structure using the evaluation path you have created. Assign a substitute 1 to the heads of your Sales and Marketing departments.

Optional (if you included division assignments in point 2):

Create another Sales representative position for sales office 1 and assign it to another division of your choice.

Look at your changes in the Matrix organization.

Select standard selection as your access to the matrix organization. Dimension 1 of the matrix should include your organizational structure and the positions assigned to it; dimension 2 should show the various divisions.

n When integration is active, if a position is assigned to a person in Master Data, all objects that are related with the position (such as organizational unit, job, master cost center) are also read and written to the Organizational Assignment infotype (0001) in HR Master Data. When integration is active, the fields organizational unit, job, and cost center are filled from Organizational Management and accept no input.

n In addition, every organizational change is stored in both the Organizational Assignment infotype (0001) in HR Master Data and in the organizational plan in Organizational Management. This means that if a change is made in Organizational Management that affects the organizational assignment of a person, this change is written to the person's Organizational Assignment infotype (0001). Similarly, a change made to a person's organizational assignment (for example, as a result of a personnel action) is written to Organizational Management:

Exercises

Unit: Integration with Personnel Administration

· Executing a hiring action and a position transfer with active integration

Once you have made the required Customizing settings, you go productive. You hire a new employee for the position of personnel administrator. After some time, the employee transfers to the financial accounting department.

Optional Exercises

1 Hiring a new employee in an integrated system

Caution: This exercise is based on the data created in exercise 7 of the Detail Maintenance unit. If required, have another look at the activities you carried out in exercise 7 before you start.

In Personnel Administration, you hire a new employee for the position of Personnel administrator XX (XX = group number). This position was created in the integration plan version (01).

In Personnel Administration, execute the hiring action HR505. Enter the first of the coming month as the hiring date.

Use the personnel number 5050XX (XX = group number).

On the Personnel Action screen, make no entries in the fields Personnel area, Employee group and Employee subgroup.

On the Create Action screen, use the Structure Search function to find the position Personnel administrator XX of the organizational unit Personnel Management XX.

Before you save, choose Enter. What happens? Where are these default values stored?

What data in the Organizational Assignment infotype is transferred directly (not modifiable) from Organizational Management? Which of the values are default values from Organizational Management? Specify here the Organizational Management infotypes from which the default values are transferred.

Enter data of your choice in the Personal Data infotype.

In the Planned Working Time infotype, transfer the default work schedule rule value NORM.

What values in the Basic Pay IT are default values from Organizational Management? Where do they come from? Enter a monthly salary of 3000 UNI. What message is displayed and why?

Switch to Organizational Management. Please ensure that 01 is entered as the integration plan version. In Simple Maintenance, have a look at the staff assignments of the test company XX. What has changed here?

2 Executing a position transfer in Organizational Management

Three months later, the new employee transfers to the position of Financial Administrator XX in the financial accounting department. You make this change in Simple Maintenance. When you have done so, have a look at the Organizational Assignment infotype (0001) of the employee in HR Master Data. What has changed?

Note: Normally, such a position transfer is reflected in Personnel Administration by the corresponding personnel action Organizational Reassignment since it generally involves other master data changes (such as basic pay change, assignment of other working time and so on).

n In the Personal data, Organization and Compensation Management theme categories, the screen is divided into a main window, displaying the organizational area of responsibility of the user in a tree structure and a side window listing the functions.

n Using tab pages, the user can switch between different views of his or her area of responsibility. In the Directly subordinate employees view only the organizational units that are directly subordinate and their positions and holders are displayed. The All subordinate employees view also displays all the indirectly subordinate organizational objects (organizational units, positions and holders). The Cost center view displays all (directly or indirectly) subordinate organizational objects and their master cost centers.

n There are different ways to execute the functions in the function list, a particularly simple way to do this is to use ‘Drag and Drop’. Drag and drop from left to right by highlighting one or more objects in the organizational structure and holding down the left mouse button and dragging the mouse to the desired function in the function list. This function is executed for all the objects you selected. In the same way you can drag and drop from left to right. You can also use ‘drag and drop’ to move organizational objects within the tree structure.

n If an employee is affected, directly or indirectly, by reorganizational changes or their position is assigned to another describing job, a corresponding personnel action, which describes the reorganization process, must be carried out (organizational change, for example). The manager does not, however, have to carry out this action himself, he simply enters it in a combo box. A standard workflow is triggered. The employee in the personnel department responsible receives the work item in their inbox and carries out, changes, or withdraws the action. The data of the employee concerned stays locked for maintenance (in table T77INT), until the action is carried out, changed or withdrawn.

n Once the action has been carried out, both the administrator and the employee are notified by mail. n Note:

The switches PLOGI EVENB and PLOGI EVCRE in table T77S0 must be set to X, in order that the workflow described above can take place. This is a standard workflow that need only be activated by the customer.
