Use

In this section of the Implementation Guide (IMG), you make Customizing settings for the Object and Data Provider (OADP). The Object and Data Provider enables you to display structures from Organizational Management in a list or tree structure in a Web Dynpro application and thereby display such structures in SAP Enterprise Portal. Furthermore, you can use columns to provide users with additional information about objects.

You can use the Object and Data Provider to enable users to perform the following activities:

  • Obtain an overview of objects

    Example: A manager can display a tree structure in which all the organizational units for which he or she is responsible are displayed.

  • Search for objects

    Example: A manager who is responsible for a large number of employees can search for a particular employee.

  • Select objects and display detailed object information

    Example: A manager displays a list of all employees who report directly to him or her. When the manager selects a particular employee, the employee profile for this employee is displayed.

  • Execute processes

    Example: Based on a list of employees who report directly to the manager, he or she can perform salary planning for these employees.

Requirements

  • You have depicted the organizational plan of your company in Organizational Management. This includes the organizational structure and staff assignments.
  • The user who is logged on, or the person to which the user is assigned in the Communication infotype (0105), holds a chief position.
  • If you want to display cost centers, you must have assigned cost centers to the organizational unit or chief positions.

Note

We recommend you use structural authorizations for the Object and Data Provider.
