SAP Learning Journey

Enabling the Standard Job Requisition

Objectives

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

Upload the job requisition template
Select template settings and connect the route map
Assign permissions to create the job requisition

Job Requisition Data Model Upload

Learn about enabling the job requisition template.

In this section, you learn how to enable a requisition, so that your client can begin creating new jobs.

Steps to Enable a Job Requisition

To enable the requisition, follow these steps:

Log in to Provisioning and select your instance from the List of Companies.
Scroll to the Managing Recruiting section, and click Import/Update/Export Job Requisition Template.
If the job requisition data model (JRDM) has the same template name (in the XML) as one that exists, the JRDM overwrites the existing template.
If the JRDM has a different template name, a new template is loaded into the system.

Template Settings and Route Map

In this section, you learn how to select template settings and create a route map.

Form Template Settings

The following steps show you how to locate the Form Template Settings page, and create a route map from Admin Center:

Navigate to Admin Center → Company Settings → Form Template Settings.
On the Managing Form Templates page, click the relevant requisition link.
On the right side of the screen, from the dropdown menu, select the appropriate route map.

Update of the Form Template

To finalize updating the form template, follow these steps:

On the Form Template Settings page, scroll down and select all the appropriate template settings.
- Consider possible options, for example the button to add approvers, or to send the requisition back to a previous step.
- Not all available settings work for requistions.
At the bottom of the page, click Update Form Template.

Note

You can only associate one route map with a requisition template. Therefore, if your client has a different approval route or process for different types of jobs (for example, hourly or professional) you must create a different route map and a different requisition template for each type of job.

Note

Think of Due Date as a date when final approval is required.

Permissions to Create a Requisition

When implementing the Recruiting solution, permission to create requisitions should be granted to the appropriate people in the client company.

For the creation of requisitions, the following process outlines the initial steps to grant the specific permissions required:

Go to Admin Center → Manage Employees → Set User Permissions → Manage Permission Roles.
Select the role to which the form creation permission should be added.
Click the Permission... button.
In the Permission settings dialog box, in the General User Permission section, select Permission to Create Forms.
Select Others.
Select the names of the forms that this role can create.
Click Done.
Log out of the instance, and log back in as a user with permissions for testing purposes.
When permission has been granted, the Create New button is available on the Recruiting tab.

Note

Granting permission to create requisitions to all users is not recommended. However, if you wish to assign this permission to everyone in the company, you grant it to the role assigned to all system users. Doing this grants permission to all users for the Recruiting tab, and to create forms.

Connect the Job requisition short route map to the Hourly Job Requisition template you uploaded.
To do so, select the job requisition route map from the list of route maps.
1. On the right side of the screen, from the dropdown menu, select the Job requisition short route map.
Enable an approver to be added to the route map.
