Function module to get Manager

Former Member — Thu, 08 Sep 2005 10:04:02 GMT

Hi Friends,

Is there any function module which can return name of Manager based on employee's userid i.e. pass employee User id as import parameter and get Manager details as export parameter.

Thanks and Warm Regards.

Hello,

You can use FM SWX_GET_MANAGER for that. When you want to use this in a workflow step then use rule 168.

This FM makes use of the FM RH_ACT_LEADING_POSITION.

Hopefully it helps you a bit further

Kind regards,

Peter

RH_GET_LEADING_POSITION is the function module that is used to get the info, provided you maiantained your org structure.

Hi Peter / Ramki,

Thanks for the tips. Yes, I am using RH_GET_LEADING_POSITION. When I pass all values required for the above function module, I get a table LEADING_POS having columns PLVAR, OTYPE and OBJID. Thats fine.

My original question is how do I find USERID for OBJID returned in this function module. For example -

PLVAR = 01

OTYPE = S

OBJID = 50000131 ( I want userid associated with it - i.e. MANAGER).

Hope it is clear.

Thanks and Warm Regards.

Use the fm RH_STRUC_GET

with

act_otype = S in your case

act_objid = 50000131 in your case

act_wegid = 'SAP_US_S'

act_int_flag = ' '

table result_tab return found values

As Peter pointed out Rule 168 does exactly that. If you look at the code in the rule FM SWX_MANAGER, you would see that FM RH_STRUC_GET is called to convert the objid to user id.
