Staffing manager checkbox in project authorizations

[Former Member]

Hello!

We made a few tests on authorizations at project level, and we don't understand the use of "staffing manager" checkbox.

We use mainly project roles with type Staffing by Resource Manager via Authorization. Each role is linked to a Organisationa Unit (staffin process), and the staffing manager of this Org Unit (from the HR Org Struct) can see the project roles in his/her staffing view. This works perfectly.

SAP Help says: If you are a staffing manager, the system displays all project roles with the staffing type Staffing by Resource Manager via Authorization and these are staffed by resources in the worklist of the external resource management application.

When we flag this checkbox, we don't see any difference in the behaviour. A Staffing manager sees the same data. If we flag this checkbox at project level to an other user that is not defined as a Staffing Manager in HR, there is no effect after in his/her staffing view.

Can anyone explain us the usage of this staffing manager checkbox?

Thank you very much.

Hi Matthias.

Is it not the staffing scenario "resource manager via responsible organization" (defined in the project role type) that you use?

I think the checkbox you mention is used if you assign the resource manager directly in the project via authorization (instead of via the org unit in the staffing process tab). In these cases the staffing scenario in the project role type shoud be "resource manager via authorization".
