Approver specfication section not displayed after system upgraded to EHP6

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have just upgraded our eRecruiting development environment to EHP6 from EHP3. However, as a manager who creates the requisition and subsequently the job posting, there should be a place that allows the manager to specify the approver for this requisitiion. This is not displayed in the upgraded version. I have checked our authorization setup to ensure the manager does not have too wide an access that will bypass this approval specification process, and everything is in order.

I am wondering if anyone else has run into the same problem.

Thank you.

Hello Alex,

you are probably aware the huge changes in the eRec application when moving from EhP3 to EhP 4 or any higher enhancement package. The whole user interface for non-candidate roles is completely replaced. This includes the manager as well as the recruiter and the recruiting administrator.

In principle it should be possible to run the old BSP applications as long as you do not activate any business functions for the enhancement packages (aka "pure technical upgrade").  But when I did such a pure technical upgrade from EhP 3 to EhP 4 for a customer about 4 years ago we already faced several serious issues with running the old ui and functions. So what you experience are very likely such issues as well.

Kind Regards

Hi Roman,

Thanks for the info. Do you remember what you did to resolve those ui issues?

Thanks,

Hello Alex,

for the critical issues the only solution was to open messages in the SAP service marketplace to get them fixed via SAP note. Usually we had to provide very detailed information on the error on code level to get a fix.

Are you really not planning to use the new eRec functions? I know that it is an own project due to the amount of changes but otherwise the upgrade does not make a lot sense. Or were you required to upgrade as you run an integrated scenario HR Core and eRec on the same box?

Kind Regards
