Job Function 

Use

You use the Job Function tab to choose the position within the enterprise into which a resource can be scheduled. Job functions might have further granularity based on a level.

 

Prerequisites

You have defined job functions and levels for use within the resource planning application by choosing SAP IMG ® Customer Relationship Management ® Workforce Deployment ® Basic Settings for WFD Server ® Resource Settings ® Define Job Functions and Levels.

 

Features

Resources have both qualifications and job functions. A qualification is a skill, for example, the skill to work a specific piece of machinery. A job function would be similar to a job level the resource might have, for example, a resource could be an apprentice technician with a level 1, so the job function might be an apprentice.

When creating a resource, you have the option to maintain these job functions for the business partner determining which job function level is appropriate for the resource. You can assign:

·        A business partner to more than one job function.

·        The same job function to several business partners.

The system uses the job function to allow resource planners to perform searches:

·        Meeting a particular job function required for the demand

·        For a resource meeting a particular job function, then based on these resources, identify which resources have a particular qualification.

 

Activities

The fields on the tab include:

·        Valid from and to dates

·        Job function

·        Job level

Choose the job function and job level from the drop down lists.
