Activity - SAP Documentation

Definition

Process step in SAP E-Recruiting . Each activity belongs to an activity type, which can belong to various activity categories. Activity types within the same category all have special properties. Activities have a status. They can have the status Planned or Completed .

Use

You use activities within the framework of the succession planning process and in Talent Relationship Management (TRM). Activities are individual process steps that are assigned to a candidate or a candidacy .

Activities have a status and a due date. When you create a new activity for an E-Recruiting object, the activity has the status Planned . Once you have performed an activity manually, you must set the status of the activity to Completed .

You can record a comment for an activity and supplement the activity with uploaded documents. If the system performs the activity automatically (for example, using a workflow), the status of the activity is changed automatically. In Succession Planning, no workflows are provided in the standard system.

You can define activity types to suit your requirements in Customizing. For more information, see Implementation Guide (IMG) for SAP E-Recruiting under Succession Planning → Candidate Shortlist for Succession Planning → Activities → Define Activity Types .
