Creating a Qualification

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to create a Qualification in SAP Fieldglass.

Qualifications

Qualifications are skills, attributes, or experiences required or desired for specific roles. They help employers define the competencies, duration of experience, and/or proficiency levels necessary for a job. Qualifications are listed in job postings as criteria that potential job candidates must meet, ensuring that employers receive the most suitable applicants.

For example, if WAN/LAN interfacing is a specific skill that a buyer needs, the buyer can use a Qualification called "WAN/LAN" to ensure that candidates have that skill.

If Qualifications are added to a job posting template, the supplier is required to complete them to indicate the extent of the worker's abilities.

Before qualifications can be added to a job posting template, they must first be associated to a qualification checklist.

Navigating the Qualification Admin Object

Worker section of the Admin Menu, the Qualification link is highlighted.
1To view a list of qualifications associated to the tenant, select Qualification from the Worker section of the admin menu.

Qualification List page

Qualifications must first be associated to Qualification Categories before they can be associated to job posting templates.

Qualification List page listing all of the qualification available in the tenant. For each qualification listed the Name, Assessment Scale, Predefined, and Categories information is included. The Assessment Scale column, the Categories column, and the CCIE Certification Qualification link in the Name column are highlighted.
2Assessment Scale indicates how the qualification is assessed, such as whether it's a certification, number of years of experience, True/False, or a point scale.
3Categories indicate the number of qualification categories that a qualification is associated to. The numbers in this column are selectable and will take you directly to the page listing the categories.
4To view the details of a qualification, select an appropriate link in the Name column.

Qualifications Details page

A qualification details page displays the same details as on the list page, such as name and assessment scale.

Qualification Details page showing the details of the qualification, which includes the name, description, and assessment scale. The Qualification Categories tile in the associations tree indicates that the qualification is associated with one category.

Create a Qualification

WorkingNet Networking, Inc., a global manufacturer of data networking equipment, is building new distribution centers in several countries, while simultaneously implementing new logistics software and processes. The new logistics processes will require WorkingNet's accounting methods to be revised.

To help transition to the new software and the revised accounting methods, Melanie, the manager of the finance department at WorkingNet, needs to procure several accounting clerks for the six-month period in which the software is being configured and implemented.

To accommodate these new positions, a new Job Posting Template must be created.

But because the accounting clerks will be helping transition the accounting processes to align with the new logistics processes and software, the accounting clerk position requires some knowledge of logistics as well as logistics software, so those requirements must be added to the job posting template. However, before they can be added to the template, the particular qualifications must be defined.

As the administrator of SAP Fieldglass for WorkingNet, you must create those qualifications.

Summary

Qualifications allow buyers to ensure job postings attract suitably skilled candidates by requiring suppliers to indicate whether the job candidate possess proficiency and/or experience with specified skills.

Key Points:

  • Qualification Definition: Qualifications are skills or experiences required for specific roles, helping employers refine job postings.
  • Specifying Requirements: Detailed steps include naming the qualification, choosing the assessment method (e.g., certification), and indicating if proof is required.
  • Finalizing Qualifications: After creating, qualifications must be associated with a Qualification Category before being added to job postings.
  • Relevance to Job Posting: Ensuring qualifications are tailored to the job role improves the hiring process.
