In this section of the Implementation Guide (IMG), you make Customizing settings for the Object and Data Provider (OADP).

The Object and Data Provider enables you to display structures from Organizational Management in a list or tree structure in a Web Dynpro application.

Furthermore, you can use columns to provide users with additional information about objects.

You can use the Object and Data Provider to enable users to perform the following activities:

  • Obtain an overview of objects
Example: A manager can display a tree structure in which all the organizational units, for which he or she is responsible, are displayed.
  • Search for objects
Example: A manager who is responsible for a large number of employees can search for a particular employee.
  • Select objects and display detailed object information
Example: A manager displays a list of all employees who report directly to him or her. When the manager selects a particular employee, the employee profile for this employee is displayed.
  • Execute processes
Example: Based on a list of employees who report directly to the manager, he or she can perform salary planning for these employees.
  • You have depicted the organizational plan of your company in Organizational Management. This includes the organizational structure and staff assignments.
  • The user who is logged on, or the person to whom the user is assigned in the Communication infotype (0105), holds a chief position.
  • If you want to display cost centers, you must have assigned cost centers to the organizational unit or chief positions.

Note
We recommend you use structural authorizations for the Object and Data Provider.

  1. In the Object Provider section, you define which objects are to be displayed to users. You can also enable users to restrict which objects are displayed so that only navigation objects are shown.
  2. In the Data Provider section, you define the full extent of information to be displayed to users, in addition to the objects defined in the first step.
  3. In the Organizational Structure Views section, you define the format in which the information you defined in the first two steps is to be displayed to users.

In this section of the IMG, you create the following objects or make Customizing settings for these objects:

1 Group of Organizational Structure Views - Example: A manager's employees

1.2.1 Object Selection

This is presented as follows on the user interface:

The manager sees a combo box that contains the entries Directly Reporting Employees and All Employees. If the manager selects Directly Reporting Employees, he or she can view, in a tree structure, all of the organizational units for which he or she holds the chief position. When the manager selects one of these organizational units, he or she obtains a table that contains all employees who belong to this organizational unit. Above this table, the system displays an additional combo box that contains the entries Organizational Data and Personal Data. When the manager selects Personal Data, the date of birth, place of birth, and nationality of each employee is displayed in a separate column.
