Infotype in which the system defines whether a job or position is indicated as a key job or key position. The system uses different statuses. For more information, see Status Handling in Talent Management.
In the Key Indication
infotype, the system defines the following information:
Status Nominated
or Approved
ID of the central person of the user that set the status Nominated
or Approved
Reason for nomination or approval
If applicable: ID of the central person of the user that rejected the key indication and reason for rejection
Indicator as to whether the key indication was automatic
The indicator is set if you use the Setting and Resetting Key Indications
report (RPTMC_SET_KEY_INDICATION
). For more information, see the documentation for this report.
If the user has created a note for his or her nomination, approval, or rejection: ID and document class of this note
A talent management specialist nominates one of the positions from his or her area of responsibility as a key position and thus specifies Critical Key Position (Nominated)
as the reason. For this position, the system creates a record for the Key Indication
infotype and stores the Nominated
status and the reason in the record. However, after a discussion in the talent review meeting, the talent management specialist rejects the nomination as a key position and specifies Misjudgment
as the reason. The system thus delimits the previously created infotype record on the delimitation date and stores the reason for the rejection in the record.
