End of the note.

In this business function, a new relationship between qualifications and the central person is available.

Caution Caution

All of the prerequisites and functions of the business function that are described in the following only apply if you implement the business function within SAP ERP Human Capital Management.

End of the caution.

If you implement SAP ERP Human Capital Management, you can use this business function to edit qualifications for concurrent or global employees. After you activate the business function, the qualifications are assigned directly to the employees instead of to their personnel assignments or personnel numbers as before.

The concurrent or global employees, their superiors, or the HR Administrators can thus edit the qualifications more quickly and easily. They also receive more exact information about which qualifications are stored for an employee.

Prerequisites

    Type of Component

    Component

    Only Required for the Following Functions

    Software Component

    SAP_ABA 700

    Note Note

    To use all of the functions of the business function, you also need the following software components:

    • SAP_HR (Recommendation: SAP_HR 604)

    • EA-HR (Recommendation: EA-HR 604)

    End of the note.

  • You have activated the Human Capital Management (EA-HR) enterprise extension.

  • In Customizing for Personnel Management or Payroll, you have activated Concurrent Employment and/or Global Employment for the clients in your ERP system in which you want to use the functions of this business function. For more information, see Employee Qualifications for Concurrent Employment/Global Employment in the section "Implementation Considerations".

  • In the appropriate client of your ERP system, you use the application component Personnel Development and not the infotype Qualifications (0024) to store qualifications for employees.

  • In the appropriate client of your ERP system, you use the application component Personnel Development and not object maintenance (transaction PP01) to edit qualifications.

  • In customer applications (for example, a customer program or a customer iView for creating qualifications), you use the central function modules that provide the application component Personnel Development to edit qualifications.

  • You have checked whether the relationship between qualifications and personnel assignments/personnel numbers can be easily converted into a relationship between qualifications and the central person in the appropriate client of your ERP system. To do this, you start the conversion program Conversion of Qualification Relations from Assignment to Person (RHPE_CCE_CONVERT_RELATION) in test mode. For more information, see the program documentation.

    Note Note

    When you activate the business function, the conversion program Conversion of Qualification Relations from Assignment to Person (XPRA) (RHPE_CCE_CONVERT_RELATION_XPRA) is automatically started. For more information, see the program documentation.

    End of the note.

    Caution Caution

    If you only activate Concurrent Employment/Global Employment after you have activated this business function in a client, you have to run the RHPE_CCE_CONVERT_RELATION conversion program manually. Make sure that you start it directly after activating Concurrent Employment/Global Employment.

    End of the caution.

  • You have specified how the ERP system responds when converting the relationships if different proficiencies are stored for the same qualification for an employee in different personnel assignments.

    You use the Business Add-In (BAdI) Merging Proficiencies for a Qualification in a Period (HRCCE_INTG_PROF). For more information, see the documentation on the BAdI. For the BAdI, see Customizing for Cross-Application Components by choosing Start of the navigation path General Application Functions Next navigation step Generic Functions of the SAP Business Suite Next navigation step Qualifications for Concurrent Employment/Global Employment End of the navigation path.

  • As required, you have adjusted the distribution of the master data from Human Resources between various systems.

    This is necessary if you distribute the data from a system in which the qualifications are linked to the central person into a system in which the qualifications are linked to the personnel assignments, or vice versa.

  • You do not use the application component Defense Forces & Public Security.

    Caution Caution

    As the component Defense Forces & Public Security does not use the central function modules for the application component Personnel Development to edit qualifications, you may not activate this business function if you use the component Defense Forces & Public Security.

    End of the caution.

Features

  • The qualifications are stored for the employee and not for the employee's individual personnel assignments.

    The time consuming multiple entry of qualifications for the individual personnel assignments of a concurrent or global employee is thus not required.

  • All authorized persons (such as the employee, his or her manager, or an employee from the HR department) can access all of the employee's qualifications, regardless of the personnel assignment.

  • If you create, change, delimit, or delete a qualification, this change takes effect for all of the employee's personnel assignments.

  • The transactions and reports for editing or reporting on qualifications show the qualifications at the level of the person ID.

    For example, this enables a profile matchup for a concurrent or global employee.
