MSS-->eRecruiting-->Maintain Substitute

[Former Member]

Hi All,

What are the pre requisites for maintaining a substitute in MSS.

Just wanted to know that is there any restriction in maintaining substitutes? if yes were it is configured?

Hi Pooja

Substitution in MSS is usually in the form of forwarded work items

This is setup using

UWL --> 'My Substitution Rules

See help http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/0b/1fc20097b74c41b38621ec2a9454bb/frameset.htm

for further details

There maybe similiar setup available in SBWP - SAP Inbox

This is essentially workflow substitutions - i.e forwarding tasks or notifications to other users for approval or information purposes

In terms of having an employee fill in completely for a manager and undertaking MSS based functions greater than just workflow approvals- this is a subject of great debate - in essence in order to carry out any further management tasks - the employee would need to have the same or a customized/restricted MSS based role - this would need to be thoroughly tested to accomodate any specific security requirements - for example if substitute has access to MSS ECM - a subsitute may be able to see other colleagues salaries

Best wishes
