Maintaining Evaluation Paths (SAP Library

Maintaining Evaluation Paths

To maintain evaluation paths, go to the relevant activity "Maintain evaluation paths" in Organizational Management Customizing. During operation use transaction OOAW .

Here you will find the maintenance view Change evaluation paths: Overview.

Assign a name to the evaluation path (maximum of 8 alphanumeric characters).

Go to the dependent view Evaluation paths (individual maintenance).

Describe the relationship chain to be used for the evaluation.

To establish the permitted relationships for an object type, use report RHRELAT0 .

When using an evaluation path in a view, you should consider the following:

Define the evaluation path in such a manner that the relationship chain always starts from a user (object type US in Organizational Management) and ends at an organizational unit, a position or a user.

When defining the evaluation path, use the Skip indicator (see below) in order not to overload the result of the evaluation.

When using an evaluation path in a role, you should consider the following:

Define the evaluation path in such a manner that the relationship chain starts from the object type of Organizational Management, which you can pass in the role parameter container.
You can select the Skip field to determine that this part of the evaluation path should be taken into account but not output.

You must always enter * in the field Priority.

Before creating new evaluation paths, check the evaluation paths available as standard.

Starting from an organizational unit, evaluation path O-S-P establishes all persons who belong to this organizational unit or subordinate organizational units via their positions. Evaluation path O-S-P is defined as follows:

No.	Object type	A/B	Relationship	Relationship name	Prio-rity	Ty-pe	Skip
10	O	B	003	incorporates	*	S
20	S	A	008	holder	*	P
30	O	B	002	is line supervisor of	*	O

The relationship defined in the last line ensures that user assignments in subordinate organizational units are included in the evaluation path as well.

Since the Skip indicator is not selected for any of the lines, evaluations will always display all the objects established.

Starting from a person or a user, evaluation path WF_ORGUN first establishes the relevant position and then the organizational unit to which this position belongs. Evaluation path WF_ORGUN is defined as follows:

No.	Object type	A/B	Relationship	Relationship name	Prio-rity	Ty-pe	Skip
10	US	A	208	is identical to	*	P	x
20	*	B	008	holder	*	S	x
30	S	A	003	belongs to	*	O

This evaluation path works both when the positions are occupied by users and when the positions are occupied by persons who are then assigned to users.

This evaluation path can be used with a user or a person as the starting point.

Since the Skip indicator is selected for the first two lines, evaluations only display the organizational units found most recently.
