2 Maintenance of Evaluation Paths

To maintain evaluation paths, choose the IMG activity SAP Web Application Server
Business Management SAP Business Workflow Basic Settings (Organizational management) Number range maintenance Maintain evaluation
paths . When the system is in operation, use transaction OOAW .
Here you will find the maintenance view Change evaluation paths: Overview .
Assign a name to the evaluation path (maximum of eight alphanumeric characters).
Go to the dependent view Evaluation paths (individual maintenance) .
Describe the relationship chain to be used for the evaluation.
To establish the permitted relationships for an object type, use report
RHRELAT0 .
When using an evaluation path in a view, you should consider the following:
Define the evaluation path in such a manner that the relationship chain always starts from a user (object type US in Organizational Management) and
ends at an organizational unit, a position or a user.
When defining the evaluation path, use the Skip indicator (see below) in order not to overload the result of the evaluation.
When using an evaluation path in a rule for agent determination, you should consider the following:
Define the evaluation path in such a manner that the relationship chain starts from the object type of Organizational Management, which you can pass in
the rule container.
If you set the indicator Skip , this part of the evaluation path is taken into account but is not output.
1. Always enter
* in the field Priority .
Before creating new evaluation paths, check the evaluation paths available as standard.

Example
Starting from an organizational unit, evaluation path O-S-P establishes all persons who belong to this organizational unit or subordinate organizational units via their
positions. Evaluation path O-S-P is defined as follows:
No.

The relationship defined in the last line ensures that user assignments in subordinate organizational units are included in the evaluation path as well.
Since the indicator
Skip is not set in any of the lines, evaluations always display all the objects determined.
Starting from a person or a user, evaluation path
WF_ORGUN first establishes the relevant position and then the organizational unit to which this position belongs. Evaluation path WF_ORGUN is defined as

This evaluation path works both when the positions are occupied by users and when the positions are occupied by persons who are then assigned to users.
This evaluation path can be used with a user or a person as the starting point.
Since the
Skip indicator is set in the first two lines, evaluations only display the organizational units found recently.
