Talent Group Nominations

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Have a question regarding the talent group nominations in the assessments vs the Talent Review Meetings (Talent Mgmt and Development Ehp6).

Via MSS an employee is nominated for a Talent Group "Developer"- stauts shows as Developer (Nominated)

Talent Review Meeting is set up where the talent is placed in the calibration grid based on PMP/POT scores.

Talent is moved in the grid to a Critical Talent and the "Save" button is hit and the Approve button is hit. - The icon changed from the Nominated Icon to the "Approved Icon" however when you click on the details the status still says "Nominated".

The TRM status is changed to "Complete".  The PMP/POT values update however the Talent Group for the TMS (Talent Information) still shows Nominated.  In MSS Talent Info in the Talent Group by the employee it says "Nominated" however in the Talent Overview detail under the employee name the status still says "Nominated".

When does the talent group nomination from the TRM get displayed to the "Approved" status?  I know that the TMS can approve Talent Group nominations under the Talent Group functionality however I have the follow-up activity HRTMC_RM_FOLLOWUP_TALENT_GROUP where the

it is supposed to provide the columns Talent Group and Status for the follow-up list and activates the relevant pushbutton however those pushbuttons aren't appearing on the follow-up tab.

Any clarification would be helpful !

Thank you

Hi Sarah,

Did you check in HRPAD743 whether the status was set to NOMINATED or APPROVED? See SAP Note 1732718 (Inconsistent display of talent groups and their status) as there is a bug with how the system reads the statuses in some scenarios (such as MSS or the Talent Profile).

Hi Luke,

I checked in the system and it looks like the status are correct. I think the issue here are the BAdIs.  Here is what I have configured:

Assign Talent Groups to the Boxes of the Calibration Grid - I have all of my talent groups assigned to the grid.

Define Follow-Up Activities for Talent Review Meetings - the standard is populated with the following :

SAP_PERFORMANCE - Update of Performance Document

SAP_PERFORMANCE_POTENTIAL - Update of Performance Document and Potential Document

SAP_POTENTIAL - Update of Potential Document

SAP_TALENT_GROUP - Approval/Rejection of Talent Group Nominations

BAdI: Activities When Approving Talents in Calibration Grid - HRTMC_RM_CONFIRM_ACTIVITIES is active

BAdI: Follow-Up Activities of Talent Review Meetings - HRTMC_RM_FOLLOWUP_TALENT_GROUP - is active

HRTMC_RM_FOLLOWUP_PERF_POT - is not active and in the Active (Impl) the check box is checked but greyed out.  We do not want the appraisal to be updated. 

BAdI: Status Change of Talent Review Meeting - we've created a custom BAdI but aren't sure what this BAdI is used for.

Our goal is that I want the Talent Group/Status to show up on the Followup Tab and I when a talent is moved in the TRM grid and the TMS hits "approved" for the talent groups to be approved automatically.  Is there a BAdI that we are missing or do we have something active that is conflicting with another BAdI? Right now the automatic approvals arent happening and the Talent Group/status tabs arent showing on the TRM follow-up tab.

Hi Sarah,

Are your TRM's set to Completed by your custom BAdI? If so, then I suggest raising an OSS message otherwise take a look at your BAdI to ensure that the TRM's are set to Completed.

Yes, I'm setting the TRM to complete.  We will open an OSS message.

A side question, and please let me know if another message needs to be created for this.

How are we supposed to transport talent groups.  For example TMS create talent groups via the portal. Once the talent groups are created in the portal you can use those talent groups as configuration to label each box in the calibration grid. However when you move transports the configuration for your talent groups in the calibration grid transport but the talent groups created in the portal do not (they are more like master data).  So you have to create new talent groups in the quality system but those IDs now dont match your calibration grid config.

Do you have any clairification on the best methods for transporting talent groups? As far as I know there is a talent group table but those entries get created from the front end.  There isn't a seperate config table to store talent group object ids.

Thank you

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

This is the same challenge with Qualifications Groups and Qualification IDs. The likelihood is that you have transport the table entries in HRP1000, HRP7420, and HRP7430. I would raise an OSS message and push SAP for a standard program or method to transport Talent Groups that are within the configuration you have made.

Best regards,

Luke
