Further Attributes

Definition

Quick and simple way in to create and maintain the main infotypes used in Organizational Management in Simple Maintenance.

Use

You identify the different attributes of an object by individually creating and maintaining infotype records, in Detail Maintenance.

However, in Simple Maintenance, settings for a number of infotypes are combined into one area, so they can be maintained together. (You can still retrieve and work with the infotype records in Detail Maintenance).

You can define further attributes for positions or organizational units. You select the object you want to work with directly from the tree structure.

Structure

You can maintain the following attributes for organizational units:

  • Department/Staff flags

  • Work schedules

  • Quota planning This function enables you to plan the number of positions required for each in the future.

You can maintain the following attributes for positions:

  • Department/Staff flags

  • Work schedules

  • Employee groups/employee subgroups

  • Obsolete

  • Vacant

Some interdependencies exist among different infotypes. If you change, information for one infotype, it can automatically change another. For example, if you change an Employee Group/Subgroup infotype record, it can change the Work Schedule infotype record as well.

You should check infotype settings after you save entries, to ensure any automatic changes are appropriate.
