Personnel Development

E-Recruiting

- Process starts when Requisition is raised. It can be raised by manager or recruiter.

Education Training and Event Management

Time Management is not directly integrated with OM.
All Qualifications are centrally stored in a Catalog

Qualifying Actions are grouped into Development plans

There are four main processes
1. Business event Preparation:  Creation of resources, Times schedules, Locations, Event groups, Event types
2. Business Event Catalog: Create actual events with dates/resources/locations
3. Day-to-day Activities: Booking attendance, cancelling attendance, Attendance
4. Recurring Activities: Booking events, canceling events, Locking and unlocking events

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Multiple Actions on Same day
As we know Action infotype stores only one action per day.
Action Infotype also stores Employment Status, Special Payment Status and Customer defined status in it.

On any day, only one action that changes employee's status is allowed. The action which changes employee's status is stored in IT 0000 and the other actions get stored on IT 0302.

If there is a second action which changes employee's status is executed, then the original action will be overwritten.

IT 0302 does not have status fields.

Personal File (PA10) shows Actions and Additional Actions together.
