In this step, you define and edit appraisal models. The appraisal model catalog contains appraisal models that can be copied to create actual appraisals.

Note
For further information on the effects that appraisal model catalog settings can have on the appraisal creation process, please refer to the SAP Library (Human Resources -> Personnel Management -> Personnel Development -> Appraisal Systems).

The Appraisal Systems component enables you to map all kinds of analytical appraisal procedures in your system.

  • An appraisal model is a collection of criteria or qualifications (and, possibly, criteria groups), and is copied to create an actual appraisal. The following information is stored at the appraisal model level:
    • Form of appraisal
    • Appraisal type
    • The type of numbering used for appraisal elements when an actual appraisal is generated (Standard, None, Other)
    • Layout (description, note lines and display as checkboxes) for displaying appraisals in HTML format.

      Note

      These settings do not apply to the conventional display of appraisals, nor do they affect the formatting options available for appraisal comparisons, lists, and so on, in any way!

    • Field for appraiser (only for anonymous individual appraisals) when carrying out appraisals in HTML format
    • Processing (follow-up activities, processing of subappraisals, and further processing of an appraisal)
    • The functions specified in the step Define Permissible Functions are the functions that are available for follow-up and further processing.
    • Two function modules are provided which transfer the appraisal results to Compensation Management, and transfer the appraisal results of qualifications to the qualifications subprofile of the object to be appraised.
      Further processing of subappraisals only really applies to the appraisal type (anonymous) multisource appraisal. The following function modules are provided to automatically generate overall appraisals: Determine overall result by average and Transfer overall result from last subappraisal (takes the result of the last appraisal held - the appraisal by the employee's supervisor, for example - and uses this as the overall result).

      The further processing flag for appraisals determines which further processing options are allowed for archived (completed, rejected, approved) appraisals.

      Note
      Please bear the following point in mind if you want to use the follow-up processing workflow (WS 01000105):

    • The further processing modules that the workflow is to execute in follow-up processing must be selected for the corresponding appraisal models
    • It must be possible to reset the status to In process if necessary

      For more information on the workflow, refer to the SAP Library (HR - Human Resources -> PA - Personnel Management -> Personnel Development -> Workflow Scenarios in Personnel Development (PA-PD) -> Approve and Follow Up Appraisal).

    • Restriction to one appraisal per period to be appraised (see Flag: Only One Appraisal Allowed)
    • Scale for results (quality scale - including proficiency 0, quantity scale)
    • Input options for appraisal results (optional entry field, required entry field, no entries)
    • Calculation methods for appraisal results (manual, total, average,percentage, user-specific)
    • Whether notes can be stored
  • Criteria groups are used to structure appraisal models logically. The use of criteria groups is optional - they can only be assigned directly beneath the appraisal model and cannot contain further criteria groups. Criteria groups can be rated. The following information can be stored at the criteria group level:
    • Scale for results (see above)
    • Input options for results (see above)
    • Calculation methods for results (see above)
    • Whether notes can be stored
  • Criteria are the individual characteristics that are to be rated during the appraisal. A criterion can be assigned beneath either an appraisal model, a criteria group, or a qualification, but not beneath another criterion. The following information is stored for criteria:
    • Scale for results (see above)
    • Input options for results (see above)
    • Calculation methods for results (none, user-specific)
    • Whether notes can be stored
  • Within a form of appraisal, you can use Qualifications instead of criteria groups as appraisal elements (for possible structures, see below). You can use all the qualifications in the qualification catalog for this purpose. You can transfer the appraisal results for qualifications into the profile of the person appraised as a follow-up activity (see below). The following information is stored at the qualifications level:
    • Scale for results (inherited from the qualification group - cannot be changed in the appraisals catalog)
    • Input options for results (see above)
    • Calculation methods for results
      The function module Transfer Qualification Proficiency is also available for qualifications - this module takes over theproficiency.
    • Whether notes can be stored
      • Notes
    • You can insert qualifications into an appraisal model only via the function Insert existing appraisal element (see below).
    • You can process qualifications only in the qualifications catalog (exception: tab page Result; see below).
    • The settings on theAdditional data tab page are of no significance to the appraisal model.

Note
In the following situations, you might encounter problems calculating results:

  • If the Total, Average or Percentage calculation method has been selected for a criteria group or qualification, but this criteria group or qualification has no lower-level appraisal elements
  • If the calculation method Other has been selected for an appraisal element, and the function module in question does not return a result

    In both these cases, if you entered a rating manually, this rating will be overwritten by the value 0 when the appraisal results are recalculated.

You can nest the appraisal elements within an appraisal model as follows:
Appraisal model
    Criterion
    Qualification
    Criteria group
        Criterion
    Qualification
        Criterion
    Criteria group
        Qualification
    Criteria group
        Qualification
            Criterion

You can specify a weighting and a sort sequence for every criterion and criteria group .

On the Proficiencies tab page, you can enter a user-definable text for the proficiencies of the scales used (applies only to quality scales).

The proficiency descriptions of the scale in question are proposed as defaults (if there are any). You can overwrite these defaults as required.
In the case of qualifications, the proficiency descriptions of the corresponding qualification group are defaulted (if there are any); otherwise, the proficiency descriptions of the corresponding scale are defaulted (once again, if there are any). The proficiency descriptions of qualifications must be edited in the qualifications catalog.

A translation function is also available so that you can use the appraisal models in your catalog in various languages.

When you create catalog entries, you can either create brand new entries (appraisal models, criteria groups, criteria), or base them on an existing entry (criteria groups, criteria, and qualifications). If you select an existing entry, a new object is not created (instead, the existing object is used several times). This means that if you change its attributes, this will affect all occurrences of the object. You can find out where, and how often, an appraisal element is used by generating a where-used list.
Note
Appraisals can only be compared with each other if they share the same appraisal model, or if at least the first of their appraisal&
