Customizing the Object and Data
Provider 
When a manager wants to create a change request, he or she first selects the employee for whom the changes are to be made in the Personnel Change Request iView. The iView uses the Object and Data Provider (OADP) to display the list of employees for whom the manager is responsible. The standard system includes settings for this iView in OADP Customizing, which you can change as required.
The self-service parameter viewGroup is used to assign the Customizing settings to the iView. The organizational-structure-view group MSS_PCR_SELECT is entered for this parameter.
The following graphic gives an overview of the standard entries for personnel change requests in OADP Customizing:
