SAP HR Unit 9

1. Integration of ECM with different SAP components
 
Step 1
In the customizing step “Define Appraisal Rules” (Figure 2), you can change an employee’s eligibility for a compensation plan based on the employee’s appraisal ratings or a defined minimum or maximum value.

Step 2
In the customizing step “Define Methods for Matrix Dimensions” (Figure 3), you are required to define calculation methods for matrix guidelines. The system uses these guidelines to calculate compensation amounts.

To most customers, the method MBOA (MBO Appraisal) is more appropriate, since most likely their SAP HCM appraisal process is based on the MBO process. If you are still using the “old” appraisal process (based on infotype 25), then you are required to select entry YMBO (Appraisal/IT25), as shown in Figure 3.
Step 3
You are required to implement the BAdi “Methods for Matrix Dimensions.” Again, depending on whether you are in the MBO model or in the infotype 25 model, you can choose between the methods HRECM00_MATR_APPR (Matrix dimension method: Appraisal) or HRECM00_MATR_MBOAPPR (Matrix dimension method: MBO Appraisal). You probably need to enhance the method to meet your specific business requirements.
Step 4
You are required to complete the customizing step “Define Matrix Dimensions.” In this customizing step (Figure 4), you create Matrix Dimensions. The Matrix Dimensions refer to the appropriate VA, VB, or VC element. By default, the ratings (assigned to any of these objects) are read from the FAPP (final appraisal) column.
