HR: OM - Organization Management
INTTRK-9585 (13 May 2016)
WO/CCBREQ# WO-RFS-1-3910391178
Description
Currently, the End date (ENDDA) of the OM Portal Organizational Unit (OU) Create form is modifiable, which means
that user can input any date. Normally, all OU should be set to 31.12.9999 as this affects all the relationships in the
create org unit. Consequently, positions that are created under this org unit will also be delimited to the ENDDA of
the OU, which affects the incumbent. There were numerous live cases in Production wherein Org Units were
created with an expiration date instead of 31.12.9999, which affected IT0001 of the incumbent.
As a solution, this enhancement will change the End Date of the form from a required to a non-modifiable field and
value will be defaulted to 31.12.9999.
INTTRK-8603 (13 May 2016)
WO/CCBREQ# CCBREQ-4297
Description
With this enhancement to the Loan Position Form of the Org Management Portal, users will be able to return a
loaned position and to modify the duration of a position loan even when the current date (system date) is beyond
the expiry date of the Cost Distribution (infotype 1018) record valid during the loan period..
Example: a position''''s 1018 expires 31.12.2015. A loan relationship exists for the period 01.11.2015 to 31.12.2015.
Current system date is 15.01.2016. Previously, the system will not let the user return nor modify the loan period.
This is fixed by this enhancement.
