This IMG activity consists of the following steps:

  • Maintain Strategies for Automatic Proposal Determination
  • Define Strategy for Automatic Proposal Determination

    In these steps, you specify the strategies that the system automatically uses for the Determine assignment proposal function to find the employees required to cover a personnel requirement.

    In the Define Strategy for Automatic Proposal Determination step, you have the following additional options:
    • Period for assignment proposal

      If you activate this function, the shift planner can specify in the shift plan overview the period for the automatic proposal determination. The shift planner sets the period by selecting the day columns in the shift plan overview.
    • Assignment proposal only on days with changes

      In combination with the period for proposal determination function, the shift planner can use this function to restrict the automatic proposal determination in the shift plan overview to the days on which changes were made (such as a change in time data, shift, or availability duty). There must be no day columns selected before the shift planner starts the automatic proposal determination function.

      This additional function is active only if the period for assignment proposal function is also active.
  • Set Strategy for Automatic Assignment After Shift Changes

    In this step, you specify the strategy that the system uses to assign an employee to a requirements when his/her shift/working times have been changed.
    You can specify whether an employee is to be automatically assigned to a requirement when his/her shift/working times have been changed, in the shift plan, under Settings.

By defining a strategy, you can specify:

  • the maximum number of runs
  • the valid options for selecting employees in each run
  • the sequence for the runs

The system runs the defined strategy once for each requirement and day, irrespective of the degree of coverage resulting from the automatic assignment function.

Requirements

Standard settings

In the standard system, strategy SAP_1 is set for automatic proposal determination, and is defined as follows:

1st run

The working time of an employee is not adjusted to the requirement.
This means that only those employees whose working time matches the required time are selected during the automatic proposal determination process.

During this process, the following criteria apply:

  • requirement interval cannot be split
  • employee's working time cannot be split
  • organizational assignment of an employee matches the organizational assignment of the requirement
  • employee's job is relevant
  • requirements with id are not taken into consideration
  • the proposal is determined in accordance with the priority set in Shift Planning under Settings -> Prioritize proposal determination
  • requirement is covered with the minimum number of employees

2nd run

The working time of an employee can be adjusted to the requirement.
This means that the working time and requirement interval are split, and therefore, they need not be identical.

During this process, the following criteria apply:

  • the organizational assignment of an employee matches the organizational assignment of the requirement
  • the employee's job is relevant
  • requirements with id are not taken into consideration
  • the proposal is determined in accordance with the priority set in Shift Planning, under Settings -> Prioritize proposal determination
  • the requirement is covered with the target number of employees

3rd run

All working times and requirements can be split

  • the organizational assignment of both the employee and the requirement is irrelevant
  • the employee's job is relevant
  • requirements with id are not taken into consideration
  • the proposal is determined in accordance with the priority set in Shift Planning, under Settings -> Prioritize proposal determination
  • the requirement is covered with the target number of employees

The period for assignment proposal and assignment proposal only on days with changes functions are not active in the standard system.

Strategy SAP_2 is set up in the standard SAP system to be used when an employees's shift/working times are changed. It performs one run, which corresponds to the 1st run of strategy SAP_1.

Recommendation

Activities

Maintain Strategies for Automatic Proposal Determination

  • Select New entries
  • Define a name for the new strategy
  • Enter a serial number
    The number of runs executed in the strategy is determined by the number(s) you enter.
    The actual number sets the sequence of the runs.
  • In the Working time field, specify whether or not the requirement changes the working time of an employee, and if so, in what way
  • Select the assignment criteria to be considered during the automatic proposal determination
  • In the Priority field, define the selection criteria to be used by the system to produce a hitlist of employees for automatic proposal determination.
    You also define a priority for the hitlists used to assign employees to requirements

Define Default Strategy for Automatic Proposal Determination

  • Check to see if the strategies provided in the standard system meet your requirements
  • If necessary, define your own strategies under Maintain Strategies for Automatic Proposal Determination in this step.
  • To activate the period for assignment proposal function, enter an X in the Value abbr. field.
  • To activate the assignment proposal only on days with changes function, enter an X in the Value abbr. field and ensure that the period for assignment proposal function is active.

Further notes

By using the Use current settings fields, you ensure that the relevant settings in the shift plan are used for automatic proposal determination, irrespective of the strategies that you have defined here.
