Changes to Profile View Customizing

Scope of Functions

A new tool has been developed for defining profile views. This tool enables you to define profile views for a range of components. The standard system comes with profile views for the Personnel Development and Compensation Management components. You can specify which subprofiles are displayed for each object type in each component.

In addition to the profile views for the above-mentioned components, the standard system now also comes with other new subprofiles and modified object type headers.

Effects on Existing Data

Since the new tool is based on a different table structure, customer- specific entries will not be converted automatically. Existing settings in your system are replaced by the new settings, but are not deleted.

You can use a special report to determine the difference between your old settings and the new settings. In profile view Customizing, you will then have to redefine any customer-specific settings that you also want to use in the new release.

Effects on Data Transfer

These changes do not affect master data.

Effects on System Administration

To determine the differences between the old and new profile view, use report RHPEUMSP - Conversion: Profile Definition - Personnel Development. You can jump directly from the results list to profile view Customizing.

Effects on Customizing

You will need to perform Customizing activities in the following cases:

• If the Personnel Development profile view was changed in your system, and you want to include these changes in the new release

• If you want to adapt, or if you do not want to use, the new modified headers and subprofiles

You edit the profile view in Customizing for Personnel Development (Functions -> Define Profile View.
