Embedded Org Chart view available in the following MSS applications: HCM Processes & Forms: Start Process for Employee Start Process for Multiple Employees Start Organizational Process Competency Management: Maintain Position Details 2010 SAP AG.

Business Benefits Better understanding of hierarchical relationships within the organization Better comprehension of employee organization relationships Ability to find the right people in your organization faster and therefore work more efficiently with manager self-services 2010 SAP AG.

Background The embedded Org Chart views are an alternative, optional frontend to the existing Object and Data Provider (OADP)-based frontends in the applications mentioned. In case the user logs-on in the Accessibility mode, the classical OADP Web Dynpro screens will automatically show up and be used by the screenreader software. Note on Licensing: The embedded Org Chart view has been developed in cooperation with Nakisa. The usage of this component (technical name EMBEDDED_ORGCHART 605) is free of charge for MSS Customers, i.e. customers who have purchased the respective license types for Manager Self-Service. In contrast to Nakisa s solution extension SAP Talent Visualization by Nakisa (STVN), the Embedded OrgChart for MSS is not tied to an additional license fee - it is not sold as part of STVN, but is integral part of SAP ERP EhP5. 2010 SAP AG.
