Object documentationPerformance (Infotype 7409)

 

Infotype in which the system stores information about a talent's performance assessment.

 

The manager of an employee can evaluate the employee's performance (see Performance Values and Potential Values: Manager Assessment). In a talent review meeting, the participants can confirm this performance evaluation or classify the employee differently with regard to his or her performance (see Performance Values and Potential Values in the Talent Review Meeting).

In the background, the system creates records of the infotype Performance and stores the ID of the employee's central person (object type CP) in the record. This means that the system creates the infotype records as a result of the following activities:

  • The employee's manager evaluates the performance using a talent assessment document and closes this document.

  • The employee's manager evaluates the performance using an appraisal document that is based on a flexible appraisal process and sets the document to the status In Talent Review Meeting.

  • The employee's performance is evaluated in a talent review meeting.

Structure

The infotype Performance has the time constraint 3, meaning that any number of valid infotype records can exist at any time. For more information, see Time Constraints in HR Master Data.

The infotype Performance consists of the following parts:

Field Part

  • Validity period of the infotype

    The system uses the validity period of the document that the manager used to assess the performance as the validity period for the infotype. For more information, see Performance Values and Potential Values: Manager Assessment.

    If a deviating performance assessment is made for the same employee in a talent review meeting, the system creates a new infotype record for which the validity period matches that of the existing infotype record.

  • Change date of infotype

  • Status of performance value

    For more information, see Status Handling in Talent Management.

  • Performance value

    If multiple performance assessments exist for the same employee in an appraisal period, the system calculates the arithmetic average of these values.

  • Scale that was used to make the assessment

  • Maximum performance value within this scale

  • If applicable: ID of the talent review meeting in which the assessment was made

  • If applicable: level of the talent review meeting in which the assessment was made

    If the same employee is discussed in more than one talent review meeting, the performance assessment that was made in the talent review meeting at the highest hierarchy level is decisive. For more information, see Determination of the Valid Performance Value and Potential Value.

Table Part

This part of the infotype contains information that comes from appraisal documents that are based on flexible appraisal processes. If multiple performance assessments exist for the same employee in an appraisal period, the system stores the assessments made by all managers in the table part.

In the table part, the system stores the following data:

  • Appraisal ID

  • Performance value

  • Maximum performance value in the scale used
