In the profile, you specify which employee selections are valid when the TMW is accessed using this profile.
In a standard employee selection, you can specify either a user-dependent group or a group available for all users. If you want your time administrators to be able to create their own employee selections, you must set up a corresponding group for interactive selection.
The entries for the person selection period are required to determine whether or not, and up to what point of time in the past, the system displays employees who are no longer assigned to the time administrator or who have left the company.
The person selection period also determines whether or not, and up to what point in time in the future, the system displays employees who are to be hired at a future date or will be assigned to that time administrator in the future.
The person selection period is calculated on the basis of the respective initial period. If you do not specify an entry in the Person Selection Period Relative to Initial Period screen area, the system selects the employee list for the period that you defined as the initial period. If you specify an entry in the Person Selection Period Relative to Initial Period screen area, the person selection period is extended backwards from the start date of the initial period into the past, or from the end date of the initial period to a future date.
Employee List Customizing – Standard Selection (1)
The standard selection is used to determine the employee selections available to time administrators in the Employee List screen area. The individual employee selections are defined using selection IDs.
In the standard selection, several employee lists (selection IDs) can be made available to the time administrators. You do this by grouping the selection IDs.
In a grouping, you can indicate whether an individual selection ID is user-specific or is available to all users. User-specific selection IDs are only valid for the user entered; user-independent selection IDs are valid for all users.
Employee List Customizing - Standard Selection (2)
Selection IDs are also used in various areas of HR to simplify the grouping together of objects for selection purposes. Selection IDs can be defined based on infotype tables, structure reports, or special function modules. These three types of selection IDs can be combined in any way you require.
To define a selection ID based on a table, you can use the following types of fields:
- Infotype fields
- Additional fields
- Text fields
- Fields specific to SAP Query (additional fields, additional table fields, and alias table fields).
You can also define ranges that restrict the number of objects to be processed for selection IDs based on tables.
Selection IDs based on a structure correspond to a structural evaluation. A start object and an evaluation path are used to determine the personnel numbers.
Selection IDs based on a function use a function module to collect the data.
Note
Employee Lists – Interactive Selection
Using the interactive employee selection function, time administrators can create their own employee lists according to specified criteria.
To do so, they must have a group for interactive selection in the profile that they use to access the TMW.
An infoset and optional selection IDs can be stored in a group for interactive selection. Time administrators can create their own employee selection using the criteria of the infoset and any specified selection IDs (templates).
An infoset provides time administrators with additional selection criteria (fields) to create their own employee selection. If time administrators want additional employee lists (selection IDs) as templates for their own selections, then the corresponding selection IDs must be stored in the group for interactive selection. The standard system contains the group TMW_INTERACTIVE with the infoset /SAPQUERY/HR_XX_PT_TMW.
