Following Up and Approval of an Appraisal 
Purpose
A range of actions can be performed on an appraisal that has been completed:
- The appraisal results can be passed on to the appraisee for the appraisee’s approval; if the appraisal is rejected, it can be revised, or even re-held.
- The appraisal results can be passed on to other departments for further processing. In this case, the following further processing steps are available in the standard system:
- Transfer appraisal results to Compensation Management
- Update the appraisee’s qualifications profile on the basis of the appraisal results
Approval and follow-up are performed by means of a workflow. For more information, refer to
Approving and Following Up an Appraisal (PA-PD).
- If the appraisals are appraisals that are held at regular intervals, you can plan for the next time they are to be held
- The appraisal results can be discussed by those involved in the appraisal as part of a feedback session
Prerequisites
