Use

Managers can use this iView to request an administrative change for an employee. The manager runs an HCM Processes and Forms process.

In the first step of the Start Processes iView, the manager selects an employee. In the second step, he or she selects a process and starts it. The system then calls the HRAS Process iView, and as a next step shows it in the Start Processes iView.

In the standard system, the Organizational Change process is implemented as a sample process. Managers can use this process to request the organizational reassignment of an employee to a new position that is outside of their area of responsibility. For more information about this sample process, see Transfer (International) .

You can implement any other or additional processes.

Note Note

If you want to use this iView, see SAP Note 1048386.

Note the following information about the properties:

  • 1.sap.mss.hras.cachemaxage

    The first time data on an organizational structure view group or organizational structure view is read from the ERP system, the data is stored in a cache from which it can be accessed efficiently. You can use the property 1.sap.mss.hras.cachemaxage to define the number of days that the cache remains valid before it is discarded and the data is read from the ERP system again.

    You can use the entries –1 and 0 to define that the data is determined anew from the ERP system each time it is accessed, the cache is therefore not used at all. The settings differ as follows:

    • –1

      The system does not read any data from, or write any data to the cache.

    • 0

      The system does not read any data from the cache, but it writes data read from the database to the cache.

      Even if you define a value greater than 0 for this property, so that data is taken from the cache, users can update the data that is displayed at any time. The data is then determined again from the ERP system. To improve system performance, we therefore recommend that you use the cache.
