Use

In this process step, you can set up the workflow for approval processes that are needed for compensation adjustments.

You can choose between two alternative workflow templates:

  • Approval Process for Compensation Adjustments (1000083)
  • Web-Approval Process for Compensation Adjustments (21300038)

The main difference between these two workflow templates is that workflow template 21300038 is Web-enabled and was developed specifically for Web-based approval processes, whilst workflow template 1000083 is not Web-enabled.

If you want to use the approval process via the Business Package for Manager Self-Service, you must implement workflow template 21300038.

To implement one of these workflows, you must assign agents to the relevant tasks contained in the workflow template and activate event linkage, that is, the events that trigger the workflow.

Requirements

Standard settings

In the standard system, agents are not assigned for the workflow template and event linkage is deactivated.

Activities

Perform Customizing activity (transaction HRWPC_CMP_WORKFLOW). The screen Task Customizing Overview appears, which displays in a tree structure the activities you need to perform.

  • Assign Agents to Tasks
  • Activate Event Linkage

Agent Assignment

First perform activity Assign Agents to Tasks. The screen Task Group: Maintain Agent Assignment is displayed. Here the workflow templates are also displayed in a tree structure for selection.

Assign an agent for the worklow template that you want to implement.

  1. Expand the tree structure for the workflow template. This displays all tasks that belong to this workflow and, if necessary, any additional workflow templates that can be called within this workflow.
  2. To assign the agent, place the cursor on a task and choose Create Agent Assignment from the function bar or menu.

    Note
    Behind each task is displayed whether or not it is a background task. If it is a background task, you do not need to / cannot assign an agent.

    If the task is not a background task, the dialog screen Choose Agent Type is displayed after you have chosen a function.

  3. Choose an agent type (for example, object type Position).
  4. Then choose the relevant agent (that is, the concrete position).
  5. Perform all agent assignments for the displayed tasks in this way. To leave agent assigning, choose Back.

Activating Event Linkage

Perform activity Activate Event Linkage. The screen Event Linkage: Triggering Events is displayed. Here, the workflow templates are displayed once more in a tree structure for selection. Activate the event that triggers the workflow for the selected workflow template.

  1. Expand the tree structire for the workflow template. The triggering event is displayed for the appropriate workflow template. Behind the event is displayed whether or not it is activated or deactivated.
  2. Activate the triggering event of the workflow that you want to use. To do this, position the cursor on the event and choose Activate/Deactivate Event Linkage from the function bar or menu, or double-click on the event.
  3. Proceed as before to deactivate the triggering event of the workflow template that you do not want to implement.

    Note
    Event linkage may only be activated for the workflow template that you want to implement.

    The icon displayed behind the event enables you to display the attributes of event linkage.

    Function Display Object in the function bar, or Goto in the menu, enables you to display the business object for which the triggering event is used.
