Qualification Catalog 
Structured list of qualifications that are of interest to the company. A qualification catalog can be organized hierarchically and used in several qualification matrixes.
Qualification catalogs form the basis for SAO Multiresource Scheduling. They list qualifications that belong together, for example, in the areas of technology, industry, or certificates. You call the individual qualification catalogs using transaction /MRSS/SQM_CAT.
Note
You can use qualification catalogs if you have installed the SAP Multiresource Scheduling add-on based on SAP NetWeaver in the same system as the SAP Multiresource Scheduling add-on based on SAP ERP.

A qualification catalog is structured as a tree hierarchy. If you double-click a catalog item in the tree structure, the item details are displayed at the bottom right of the screen, where you can edit them. The header data is located above this and applies to the whole qualification catalog. It is therefore the same for all items. In the area above the header data, you can select the filter that is to be displayed in the tree structure.
The header data includes:
Catalog number
External Numbers indicator
Deletion indicator
Maintenance group
Factors for adjacent-level matching
Maximum hierarchy depth
Person who created catalog
Creation date
Person who last changed catalog
Date of last change
Description (language-dependent)
For each catalog item, the system displays the following detailed data:
Catalog entry (short description)
Text (description)
Qualification number
Duration of validity
Usable until date
Filter (in tree structure only)
Deletion indicator
Qualification matrixes access one or two qualification catalogs and a rating scale in each case. With the help of the qualification matrixes, the system uses the qualification catalogs to create requirements profiles and employee profiles.
The system can copy standard qualifications (infotype 0024) and standard qualification catalogs. For more information, see Copying Qualification Catalogs from SAP HR.
