Performance Management Objective Setting

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone,

I am working on a full HCM implementation and had a few questions regarding performance management. The client is interested in having goals and objectives "cascade" through org. units and pre-load on Performance Appraisal templates.

In the phap_catalog, I have noticed a value determination named "ORG_OBJECTIVES" and it supposedly auto-fills goals set by managers for the performance review period.

Basically, I am looking for a productive/proper way to have goals flow from the overall organization, through lower level organizational units down to each and every employee.

For example: Company X has 3 overall goals -> Bob Smith works within Org. Unit Y in which there are 3 separate goals that refer to this Org. Unit -> and then Bob Smith has the ability to add 3 of his own goals for the year. Overall there would be 3 overall company goals, 3 org. unit goals (total of 6 that pre-fill) and 3 empty fields for Bob Smith to input his own goals.

Any help would be wonderful. Thank you for your time.

Hi Adam,

unfortunately what you are trying to achieve is not possible. This is a missing functionality. The only chance you have is to extend the standard by introducing new Tables to store company objectives.

SAP is working on a concept to extend the Data Model, but the delivery date is still unconfirmed and will not be available before end of 2008.

Sven,

Thank you for your quick response. I want to show you a powerpoint slide that I retrieved from some SAP training material. I do not see functionality for me to attach a file to this reply post. Basically, the slide says that SAP SEM will allow for company goals to come from the upper level of the organization, and mySAP HR will allow for the goals to reside at the bottom of the organization. Any thoughts on this? Or can I email you the powerpoint slide?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Adam,

Strategic Enterprise Mngt have the ability to extract the analytical datas of the Orgnazation. So, that the Organization can decide the Goals. we can assign the goal for the Parent Organization, so that we can compare the goals with the performance of the Organization. If you mind to send the ppt to my id. my id is h.omprakash at gmail dott com.

I am not familiar with SEM.

Good Luck

Hello Adam,

yes your are right. I invented the stuff :-). The prerequisite is an established up SEM which itself needs an up and running BW. From my perspective heavy load to get the solution up and running. SEM can manage Initiatives/Objectives and have assigned owner. With this type of integration the Objectives can be one element of your Performance Feedback. Even the calculation of the goal achievement could be imported.

So if you have a BW, SEM in place and integrated with your HCM you should consider this.

Hello Adam,

Fix Enhancement BADI (HRHAP00_ENHANCE_FIX) has the functionality to prepopulate appraisal document with goals. You can refer the sap standard implementations of this BADI and create a custom implementation to pull the goals from either SEM (or any custom table if you haven't implemented SEM) and prepopulate them in the employees appraisal.

You should use different Criteria Group (VB), each for Corporate Goals, Organizational Goals, Individual Goals, etc.

Raghu,

Your response was extremely helpful.

Do you have any documentation or guidance on how I could create custom tables to use this BADI that you are talking about. Currently there is no plan for SEM, so I am going to have to take the route of custom tables utilizing the BADI that you mentioned. In terms of custom tables, creating them and using them, I only have a high level knowledge, so any documentation/guidance would be very helpful.

Regards,

Adam P.
