The
Requirements
subprofile creates a relationship between the following objects and a requirement:
Job
Position
Task
Work center
Capacity
Requirements profile
The
Requirements
subprofile enables you to map the typical requirements of an object on the basis of the type of requirement and the degree of proficiency involved. The qualifications catalog is used to create this subprofile.
You can compare the requirements and qualifications of objects against each other and thus establish whether objects are suitable (for example, persons for positions) or whether qualification deficits exist. For more information, see Profile Matchups .
Note
You can call up the profile matchup between positions and their current holders directly from the subprofile. For more information, see Performing Profile Matchups .
Your qualifications catalog must contain entries, otherwise you will not be able to create a
Requirements
subprofile. For further information about creating and changing the qualifications catalog, refer to the Implementation Guide (IMG) for
Personnel Development
under
Requirements
You can assign any of the qualifications from the qualifications catalog to the subprofile of an object as a requirement (or use another requirements profile as a basis for this).
You can import requirements (qualifications) – that is, transfer them from one position to another position, for example, or from a person to a position.
Status
If requirements have been passed on (inherited), they are given the status
Inherited.
You cannot change requirements if their status is
Inherited
.
The following table shows you how requirements are passed on (inherited) in the standard system:
From |
To |
Task |
Work center Job Position |
Job |
Position |
You can go straight from a requirement to the profile of the object from which the requirement was inherited, and then display the inheritance hierarchy.
Proficiency
You can decide to what degree of proficiency a requirement is required by an object. The proficiency scale used is determined by the qualification group to which the qualification belongs.
Essential requirement
You can decide whether a requirement is mandatory (essential requirement), or desirable (optional requirement). You can take this into account in career and succession planning (see User-Specific Settings ). This will mean that only objects with the qualifications that have been defined as essential requirements will be included in evaluations.
Validity period
You can specify a validity period for every requirement.
Note
You can enter comments (notes) for every requirement.
You can also define a
Requirements
subprofile for object types other than those for which standard settings have been made. For further information about defining profiles, refer to the Implementation Guide (IMG) for
Personnel Development
under
