Hi Experts,
Have a question on the various Architecture being currently used in various Applications in HCM today and wanted to understand the rational behind selecting one ahead of the other.
I was trying to understand the HCM Process & Forms Architecture, what I understand of the P&F framework is that its based on SAP Case/ Record Management Architecture. Now I was trying to compare this Architecture with the Appraisal Template Architecture (HRHAP table).
What I would like to understand from you all is that
Why would SAP select SAP Case/ Record Management Architecture.for P&F compared to Appraisal Template Architecture in Performance Management ?
- what is the advantage/ disadvantage between the two frameworks ? Is one better than the other ? In what way ?
The reason these question's came to my mind is because from the surface of it both frameworks seems to be providing similar kind of functionality, for example .. both provide ways to configure placeholders to store data, both provide flexibility to store attachments and both have option of logging different actions performed on them, Also both of them provide flexibility to setup status of the respective documents.
So why would SAP start using the Case/Record Management framework as compared to Performance Appraisal framework ?
Understand that Case Management saves data in XML format .. is my understanding correct ? Does this have any impact on choice of Framework ?
Please Explain
Thanks in Advance.
