Role Resolution Using Evaluation Paths 

Use

The organizational situation of employees within an enterprise is depicted in the organizational plan. Using this existing information, you can perform role resolution starting from one particular employee to determine one other employee, or several other employees, along specific relationships in the organizational plan.

The following role evaluates a function module to perform resolution. Please note that this function module is provided by SAP as a default.

Starting from a particular employee, you want to determine his or her organizational unit so that you can address a work item to all of the employees in this organizational unit.

The role that includes this functionality is available in your system and can be used as an explanation of this documentation. For more information, see the role used to determine the organizational unit of a user.

Integration

From a technical perspective, this role resolution is very similar to Role Resolution Using a Function to be Executed. The RH_GET_STRUCTURE function module must be used; an evaluation path is also specified.

Activities

  1. Maintain an organizational plan with the appropriate relationships.
  1. An evaluation path describes how the relationships between organizational objects are processed in a particular logical order, as required for the role resolution described above.
  1. Define a role that evaluates these relationships. This role uses the RH_GET_STRUCTURE function module to perform resolution.

This step is only required if you cannot use any of the roles delivered in the standard system. For more information, see Define Role.

  1. If you enter the role as an agent for an activity or as a default role for a single-step task, maintain binding for the role container. For more information, see Define Binding.
