Function documentationDecision Point Details

 

With this function you can record, monitor, and update data for a decision point of the item or initiative. This view displays the details for the selected decision point.

Features

In the top part of the screen, the system displays the Object Header.

The details are grouped under the following categories:

  • Overview

    • General Information: Consists of all fields that are provided by standard SAP delivery as Key Information, such as name and status, and as Dates, such as planned start and finish dates, forecasted start and finish dates, and actual start and finish dates. You can configure the visibility and editability of the fields.

      If you have defined stakeholders within the initiative, these stakeholders are also used in the following fields:

      • Responsible Role

      • Responsible Resource

      • Responsible

      Note Note

      • If you have not selected anything in the dropdown list for the Responsible Role field, you can select the resources staffed to all roles of the initiative from the dropdown list for the Responsible Resource field.

      • If you have selected a certain role, only the resources staffed to that role are available in the dropdown list for the Responsible Resource field.

      • If you have selected a responsible resource, the system sets the responsible role. The Responsible field shows those resources that are currently set as responsible.

      End of the note.

    This view contains the following information:

    • Authorizations: Here you can add or remove users and update their authorizations. You can also see if a user has inherited authorization to an item due to authorization for the parent object. For more information about authorizations, see Authorizations in Portfolio Management.

    • Change Documents: Changes made to items are stored in change documents. Here you can see the person who made the change, the time the change was made, if items have been added or removed, and changes to the assignment of decision points of an item to the decision point of an initiative. To call up a change document, enter a Time Frame. For more information about the prerequisites for doing this, see Working with Change Documents.

Revert To Previous Decision Point

In addition, you can revert a current decision point to the last completed decision point, by clicking the Revert To Previous Decision Point pushbutton. This pushbutton is visible only under the following conditions:

  • The current decision point is active. The system sets the current decision point to active if the previous decision point has reached its end status, for example Approved, and the current decision point has at least the start status, for example In Progress.

  • A previous decision point exists, in other words, the current decision point is at least the second decision point.
