Resource Assignment to HR Objects (SAP Library

Resource Assignment to HR Objects

Prerequisites

You can assign a resource to the personnel system (HR) in two ways:

If you want to assign a resource to the HR objects person, position, requirements profile and qualifications, you must first assign the resource to an HR work center. This can be a work center that already exists in HR. During the assignment procedure, you can also create a work center (with the same name) in HR.

Instead of assigning a resource to an HR work center, you can also assign it to an organizational unit from HR. You cannot use the organizational unit to maintain assignments to other HR objects.

Procedures

Resource Assignment to the Personnel System (HR)

In resource maintenance, choose Goto ® HR assignment.

If the resource is already assigned to HR, the Organization Structure screen appears, which displays the existing assignments. If this is an assignment to an HR work center, you can maintain further assignments, for example, to persons (see next paragraph).

If you have not maintained an assignment to HR, specify on the Assignment to HR Organizational Entity screen whether you want to assign the resource to an HR work center or to an HR organizational unit.

Enter the name of the HR work center or the HR organization structure. If required, choose HR work center to create a new work center in HR.

The Organization Structure screen appears and you can assign HR objects, such as persons or qualifications, to the resource by making an assignment to an HR work center.

You can delete the resource assignment to HR by choosing Edit ® Delete HR assignment on the Organization Structure screen.

Resource Assignment to Persons, Positions, Requirement Profiles

If no assignments exist, assign the resource to an HR work center (see last section).
