In this step, you set up the required evaluation paths.
In PD reporting, the relationships existing between objects are processed in a logical sequence. One or more relationships form the "navigation paths" for an evaluation. These enable you to report on structural information (for example, the organizational structure or the reporting structure.)
Evaluation path "Staffing of positions":
| No. Object type A/B Relat'ship Priority Type rel'd obj. Skip | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 010 | O | B | 003 | * | S | |
| 020 | S | A | 008 | * | P | x |
| 030 | O | B | 002 | * | O |
In this evaluation path, the system finds each position (S) assigned to a cetain organizational unit and the holder of this position (P). All underlying organizational units are processed in the same way.
You can create alphanumeric evaluation paths with a maximum of 8 characters starting with "Z".
You may not change the texts of evaluation paths that have the same name as that of a relationship and thus, contain precisely this relationship. All other evaluation path texts of evaluation paths may be changed in the overview screen.
Should you wish to have an alternative evaluation path for a report that has a SAP standard evaluation path, you can specify this in the column "Value abbr.".
In the field "Skip" in individual maintenance, you can determine that a particular relationship should be included in the evaluation path but should not be displayed.
