Selection of a Suitable Person 

Use

You use this function when using the search help provided for the Personnel number field in the operation.

Prerequisites

These special search help functions are only available if you have selected the field Special search help for the order type when assigning the partner determination procedure in the Customizing for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service.

If you do not select the field, the system only provides a collective search help (for example, "Name/First name" or "Organizational assignment").

Features

Search for a Person Belonging to a Particular Work Center

The system searches for those persons who work at the work center which you have entered for the operation. You can select the person required from the list provided by the system.

Search for a Person Belonging to a Particular Work Center Who Has Certain Qualifications

The system searches in the work center, which you have entered for the operation, for persons who have particular qualifications.

For the search, the system needs a qualification requirements profile which you enter on the Internal (internal processing) operation detail screen or if you call up the search help. One or more qualifications belong to the qualification profile. You can specify the importance of each of the qualifications for this search.

In the list provided in a dialog box by the system, you can establish the extent to which the qualifications of the person found meet the desired qualifications. If one of the essential requirements is not fulfilled, the suitability rating is 0 anyway.

You can call up additional information in the dialog box:

Alternative qualifications are also displayed. (For example, a class 3 driving licence (car) was required; alternative qualification of a class 2 (heavy goods vehicle) licence is also possible since this incoporates a car driving licence.)

If you have the necessary authorization, you can use this screen to register an employee lacking a qualification for a course which will provide them with the necessary qualification. (However, this function is only available if your R/3 personnel system has not been decoupled.)

If you copy an employee into the operation, the system also writes the requirements profile used for the search into the operation on the Internal (internal processing) tab page.

Selection of a Person and Copying

Once you have selected the required person, the system copies the personnel number and the selected date into the partner.
