Start Appraisal button gone missing

[Nic1]

I've set up an appraisal template (objective setting)which allows part appraisers. When I run the thing (via portal & BSP) with just the employee and line manager in the doc it works 100%. It goes through the review stage etc etc all the way to completed.

As soon as I enter a part appraiser and create a doc, the Start Appraisal (START) button disappears from the In Review stage!

Why does my Start button show (for docs In Review) when I have just employee + manager, but when I have employeemanagerpart appraiser the thing disappears?

Thanks.

My 'Person Authorized' in the Status flow tab is set to All Users.

I will sit with my friendly ABAP'er today and try the the BADI you suggested.

hi Nvan,

<b> Welcome to SDN </b>.

Goto your Catalog Tr.PHAP_CATALOG, Choose Status flow tab -> dbl clk on the Status -> In the Status flow:options, Check Person Authorised ..there you can select All users .

If you can't controll from configuration you can implement it using BADI's.

<b> For customizing </b>

All the buttons are controlled by the BADI <b> HRHAP00_BUT_ACCESS </b> .Create a filter and customize the button availability..

Based on the

S_HEADER_STATUS, you can turn on or off the push bt visibilty.

BUTTON_ID - Pushbutton ID

AVAILABILITY -Pushbutton Availability.

Rgds,
